How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

See above: the area around is more a residential area, not super downtown. But if you're not looking for many bars and restaurants, you'll be happy here!
Very friendly staff and good quality rooms. Some of them have private balconies. Also breakfast was good. Though keep in mind that this hostel is about 1.5km from the city centre in a residential area AND you have to walk up and down 2 hills to get there. This is not particularly bad, just noteworthy, especially if you're without a car.

Very friendly staff. Located in Achada de Santo António, beach is at a walkable distance, you must descend some stairs though. You can take the bus no 6 to the city center (Plateau) a vouple of streets away if you want to explore the local sights. Breakfast was basic. Overall a good stay for a hostel!

- • Double or Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
Rooms with slightly worn-out furnishings. In one room there was air conditioning in the other only a fan. Since we were a family of four, we could be put in rooms on the same floor and thus share the same bathroom without being scattered all over the hostel. The shared bathroom could use some renovation, especially the shower cabin.
Since we arrived in the middle of the night, they organized a transfer from the airport. The staff were pleasant. Breakfast was basic and self-service, nothing special. The location is a bit remote, but peaceful. Definitely recommended for those with a car. There are some great restaurants nearby that are within walking distance.

At night it was quite noisy outside the hotel. The equipment of the room was little bit outdated and insufficient (for three people).
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast exceeded our expectation as it was delicious! The accommodation is near to the most beautiful beach in Praia.

- The only missing point for us was that there was only a microwave to cook with. There was a stove, but it didn't work. I don't see anywhere on the Booking listing where it says what kitchen amenities are included other than "kitchen". A place to cook would really bring the place together, as other hostel visitors could cook together and bring out that vibe that backpackers are often looking for. There is a lot of space to eat and hang out on the first floor, but no real way to prepare food. - Other than this, everything was fantastic.
- Joel, the manager, was fantastic and had a solution for everything. John, the security guard, was really friendly and helpful. Claire, who made us breakfast, was also very friendly and cheerful. All-in-all, the staff was really great. - Joel helped us find laundry service as well as car service to the airport. He really went above and beyond. - Rooms were clean, air-con worked well, hot water took a couple minutes to start up, but there was plenty of it. Also, the whole building is very clean and feels safe. - The best beach in Praia is about a 10-12 minute walk from here (Quebra Canela). - There are many restaurants and markets within a very short walk of Tchada Hostel. - It is surprisingly quiet at night. Praia is not exactly a quiet city, but we slept like babies here.
