Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe b&b is located in the most beautiful part of the island, right next to all the best hikes. But the best, best part was breakfast and dinner. The food is delicious.

NetherlandsWe enjoyed our stay very much. At Casa Cavoquinho we were hosted by Belén and her staff. One of her principles says that everyone who is there is Family. We left, feeling like departing from our new family. Excellent place to stay as if you are in paradise. We were in the top room, with a breathtaking view! Belén and Jose made Casa Cavoquinho a sustainable place surrounded by nature. Where do I stop? Thank you!

SwitzerlandThe best part of the trip to cabo verde was the days we spent in Casa Cavoquinho. Everything is taken care of in detail to make the stay perfect. In addition to the location very convenient to start hiking, the views of the valley from the hotel, the decoration/cleaness/comfort of the room, the kindness of the employees, the quality of the breakfast and dinner. I can say is one of the best stays I have ever had. 100% recommended if you are planning a trip to Santo Antão.

I'm at a loss for words to convey how delightful this stay was! The room and bed were exceptionally comfortable, offering an incredible mountain view. The staff was exceedingly welcoming, friendly, and warm, and the food, while generously portioned, was truly exceptional. As a starting point for hikes, this location is perfect. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Portugal-
This place is a perfect base for doing hikes in Paul Valley because the hotel is located on the trails, so you don’t need transportation, you can just start your hike after breakfast. José and Belén are super helpful, they have several good recommendations about hikes nearby. The staff is also amazing and they prepared super delicious breakfast and dinner. The peaceful, slow-life atmospheare of this place was really special. Wish we could have stayed longer. Abslutely recommended

AustriaThere is a walk of about 150 meters from the road to the accommodation of which you'll need to carry your bags or ask Jose to find someone to help you. Parking is not easy but possible if you drive. My only problem with the accommodation was the noise. The neighbours engaged in loud disputes and their dogs and roosters were right behind our uppermost room breaking the silence needed to have a good night's sleep. I would not have survived without earplugs.
The view is stunning. Much better than most others including the Aldeo Panoramico. There are few rooms so crowds or noise is no problem. The hosts, especially Jose goes out of his way to make sure your stay at the accommodation is the best possible. Checking with us each morning to make sure we have a plan and offering advice on possible hikes that fit our fitness and time and then asking how it went at the end of the day was a daily occurrence. Breakfast was included but we took the dinner meal option. The food was excellent. It was delicious, representative of the area, varied and plentiful. Menu is displayed in the morning so you have the option of joining in. Everything is added to your bill, so be prepared. The Grogue, Punch and Fogo wine were our favorite drinks. A friendly cat and two small quiet dogs greet you each time you come down the stairs. Drinking water is from the mountain springs processed through a reverse osmosis filtration system for safety, and it's free. If hiking, fitness and photography are your passion you'll need at least 5-7 days on Santo Antão. It is a large island with trails everywhere. Having a car will open the island up for breathtaking drives over high mountain passes through climatic zones. The flora changes are remarkable. We have decided to return to Boa Vista and Santo Antão for a dedicated diving hiking holiday. Avoid CV winter when the European hoards and cruise ships descend on the islands; come in the off or shoulder seasons to have your choice of accommodation, better prices and wonderful weather.
