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 KingdomHad a wonderful stay in Chez Maria Julia. Perfect location, near to the beach and shops and not far to the centre and other attractions. The staff in the hotel are extremely helpful and friendly and make your stay very comfortable. Also the food and menu is great. I would highly recommend.

DenmarkThe reception is often empty. So, if you need something you need to walk around the hotel looking for someone. Nonetheless, when you find a person they are very helpful.
The hotel is new and clean. Maria Júlia herself is always around. She bakes fresh buns in the morning and prepares whatever you ask her to. The staff are sweet and helpful. The location is great! And the bar at the terrace is very pleasant.

FranceLocation far from the Plateau area but close to Quebra Canela (10 min walk) with various restaurant options. Don’t book the airport transfer via the hotel, they charge 20€ per person versus a fixed rate of 1500 CVE at the airport, there are always taxis waiting (40€ for 2 vs 13,50€). Same for private tours, they charge additionally

United StatesIt is not properly operated. The Chef is the owner. Many things in the room don’t work. Staff don’t smile, speak English, rooms are not cleaned, no complimentary water in room, the location is a bit out of the center and in a residential neighborhood, restaurant not open on Sundays. The breakfast is limited and only available in a two hour window.
Modern new and the food at restaurant.

NetherlandsAs i told the owner maybe a tea / coffeemaker in the rooms. For the rest it was a nice stay.
Is is nice new building with really good beds, good working wifi and friendly staf. It is not to big but has a friendly atmosphere. I talked to the owner and she just started a couple of months ago. So still developing and improving. It is a little out of the center of the city but in walking distance of the nice beach with bars and restaurants Quebra Canela. They picked me up in the middle of the night even though the flight was delayed quite a bit.

United StatesThe hotel is beautiful. Every detail is exquisite. The facilities are clean and well kept. The cuisine is authentic and is without a doubt, scrumptious. With every meal, it was guaranteed to exceed all expectations. The staff is very welcoming and made our family feel right at home. It was our first trip to Cabo Verde and due to a large part of how the staff made us feel during our stay, we hope it will be one of many.

NetherlandsThe place is brand new, there are things that are still work in progress, which is absolutely normal, and the owner is very open to feedback and is always present. Whatever were my minor inconveniences - they were sorted out instantly.
After 2 weeks on Santiago this is the only place I genuinely would recommend. First of all, the location. The famous Plateau is good only for a very short visit. This area is much nicer, safer, more relaxed. There are a lot of beautiful and colorful houses around, as well as many really nice restaurants / bars and the central beach (which is really good!) - all within 15 min walk max. The owner of the hotel really pays attention to every single detail. The staff is not just friendly, they are also very professional and truly understand what does it mean to work in HoReCa (which is rarely the case on Santiago unfortunately!) My stay was super comfortable and I appreciated that everyone was going above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and relaxed. I was very touched when I didn’t feel too well and the owner made sure to constantly check on me and provide me with everything and anything needed. The restaurant and bar by the hotel are very nice as well, overall it felt like a very fair value for money and I wish I’d make this place my main base during my trip.
