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.).

GermanyFew minor things could be approved: shower drains slowly, towels should be washed at higher temperatures, larger pan in kitchen and cooking knives could be added
Excellent location next to beach with amazing view from every room, really friendly staff who were very welcoming (especially towards our 2 year old toddler), great breakfast with large variety (also for vegetarians), comfortable suites with nice design and option to prepare own meals

Switzerlandthe hotel has an amazing beachfront location and it’s a shame that there are really no outdoor facilities at the hotel (no shaded sitting area, no lounge chairs, etc). however given the proximity to the beautiful beach we didn’t mind too much. the staff seemed uninterested
our room was beautiful and clean, great quality overall and a fantastic view over the beach. very comfortable bed, linens, towels, AC - really great room

NetherlandsMentioned kitchenette is not functional - what is the point of having cooking pans without any kind of heater, not even a kettle or microwave. It was inconvenient not being able to get tea or coffee in the room, considering the apartment is on the 3rd floor. Not suitable for a long stay. Balconies were tiny, only possible to stand there. Dinner at restaurant was not particularly tasty.
Location is great, between 2 beaches. Clean modern apartment. Tasty bread for breakfast.

United KingdomThe owner is totally unresponsive through booking.com, I contacted the owner before booking and again whilst staying, no reply on both occasions. There’s security for most of the day, but sometime after 8am there’s no cover, and it appears during that time 1 of our rental car tyres was deflated. The hotel staff helped me change it. Note, confusingly, the apartment shown with the outside patio area is on the ground floor and a different rate.
This is a new property and we may have been the first to cook in the apartment. You need to ask for a cooktop (single induction plate), there’s a domestic fridge and basic level of equipment. We had a first floor apartment with great views over the beach. The breakfast is excellent as are other meals in the rather austere restaurant. The staff were very variable, some extremely helpful.

BelgiumThe breakfast was great but the diner less qualitative. Beware of transportation to get to Tarrafal from Praia airport. A private taxi is about 6000 escudos for 1h30 journey. If you have time you can get to Praia city (+/- 1000-1500 escudos) and take an aluguer for 600 escudos, it'd be about 3 h journey.
The hotel was great, calm and clean. You can enjoy the beach located in front of the hotel, you'll share it mainly with families, and youth groups. You can even have some natural coconut water from local marchands.
