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 StatesA tad on the expensive side, but we book last minute and for short stays.
Fantastic staff - friendly and welcoming (all the staff on every shift). Let us a shower room the evening of the day we checked out, before our late flight. Room was fine - some street noise but that's well-advertised and the windows and balcony doors do their best to insulate. Breakfast was very tasty - e.g. the made-to-order eggs and bacon. Enjoyed the central location.

BelgiumNothing, everything is splendid.
The hotel is located on the main street and so just 2 min walk to the beach, very convenient! You can get a filled water bottle and when it's empty, they'll refill it so you can bring it along. The breakfast was lovely and you had different options which was good. I also want to give a big big big thank you to Simone, she made me feel so safe as a solo female traveller and give me tips. She reassured me a lot of times. Thank you to Lisandro as well!

United KingdomIt was perfect
This is a little gem. Situated right in the town centre just one minute from the amazing massive beach (so it's never crowded) and with many eating places within yards. All of the staff were very friendly, courteous and exceedingly helpful. The welcome drink on arrival was a nice touch. The room was lovely with a balcony overlooking the main street....great to sit and just watch the world go by. The room is double glazed which keeps out much of the street noise but ear plugs are provided in case you need them. I preferred to be lulled to sleep by the sound and the music of this lively little town. The roof top terrace for sunbathing was great and a lovely place to have breakfast (good choice of cold food but with opportunity to have eggs or pancakes). The transfer from and back to the airport worked perfectly. Thank you for such a relaxing and refreshing stay.

United KingdomOnly one thing the bed squeaked 😂 when sleeping.
I chose this hotel for my last night in Cape Verde as was doing a sailing holiday and needed a night before my flight home the next day. The previous hotel was awful (mozzies) and in the middle of nowhere. so I booked the mirabella and it was fantastic. They new I would be early and they had my room ready for like 11am which was amazing. Simone was the perfect host very welcoming happy woman. The room the facilities the breakfast was spot on. Roof top area to chill and eat. Smack bang in the centre 2 minutes from the beach. If I ever go back to Cape Verde I will stop here.

NorwayThe hotel was located above a reggae bar, where music played through inadequate speakers created a disruptive and unpleasant auditory experience. The situation was further exacerbated during the day as nearby shops played their homemade reggae music, which also was terrible. This significantly marred the overall experience. In comparison to European construction standards, the construction quality in Cape Verde is a joke, so the soundproofing is non-existent.
Everyone who worked there was nice and friendly! The roof terrace is nice.

AustriaSanta Maria is a party all night place, and accordingly the city centre is cramped with places playing loud music and people shouting until early morning hours. Breakfast is subjectively simple/dull but sufficient for the size of the hotel. I can understand why guests may want to rate the place exceptional, but that is imho neither objective nor helpful.
Very pleasant small hotel that I'd like to rate exceptional. However, I don't wanna cheat: The facilities, cleanliness, and location are good, but not better than what can be expected for the room-price asked, i.e., fair. Staff is exceptionally friendly and you feel very welcome staying here, no doubt. And the hotel owner installed extra widows to reduce the noise level in the night; if neatly closed, sleeping is possible.
