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 breakfast was atrocious. Dinner in the restaurant was substandard.
The location of the hotel, the pool area and scenery was magnificent. It was easily accessible to everything, room was very well decorated in all white, but required upkeep. The room facilities was basic, the shower area a little old. It really is a lovely hotel, which looks beautiful and the eating area is lovely. Just needs a few tweaks and would be perfect.

United KingdomBreakfast was quite basic and unexciting. The only other thing to note is that the bathroom is round a corner, so shielded from view, but has no door, so if sharing with a friend or colleague it could be a bit strange.
The location is excellent, central but quiet, and within a few minutes walk to the ferry port. A taxi from the airport cost the equivalent of 12 euros. There is a beautiful bar area with views overlooking the bay and Belem tower. The rooms are very clean, peaceful and had everything that I needed.

NorwayOne of our nights we spent at Mansa Marina, the hotel arranged a party to celebrate the winning samba-school of this years carnival. With a crowd of 200, and an enthusiastic band some 20 meters from our room, the sleep was just so-and-so.
Situated in the middle of the harbor, close to everything in the city, yet fairy peaceful and secluded from the surroundings. Very friendly and helpful staff, and large and - for the most - quiet and clean rooms. OK facilities for breakfast/pool-area, and an excellent restaurant for dinner. Occasional live music of very high standard in the restaurant.

GermanyThe amenities were a bit old - the bathroom wall was getting cracks in the wall because of the frequent contact with water. The pool would have been great if it was more taken care of - the sunbeds were partially bare, partially covered with old matts and there was no shade availble. The rooms have a beautiful deisgn, however it might take time to get accustomed to it - the WC does not have a door - would have appreciated a heads up about this.
The breakfast was very good, the location is very central. The bar/restaurant has an amazing view over the marina and a beautiful sunset over Monte Cara is visible from there. The staff took note of our order of capirinha with less sugar - they were perfect. As our room was overlooking the street and there were always people close to our window, we received an upgrade and got a room with a balcony over the water. This room was superb, really.

PortugalBreakfast can be improved. Lack of shades in the pool area and sun loungers without cushions. The open concept in the bedroom doesn’t work very well. The bathroom entrance is just in front of the bed, no privacy at all. Plus there is a window on the bathroom and the sunlight come through it at 6:30am. A sliding door in the bathroom can solve both problems. A bit overpriced, compared to other hotels in Mindelo.
The room we stayed was beautiful, very spacious and comfortable. Coffee machine. Good restaurant in the hotel. Staff was very helpful. I didn’t feel well the last day and they allowed us to stay a bit more in the room.
