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.).

PortugalThe room we stayed in was located in a side where you could hear the wind. At times it sounded like we were in the middle of a storm. Too noisy. I suppose rooms located by the pool didn’t find it so noisy. Although it had a gym, I expected better conditions (it was a bit dated and neglected). I liked the hotel, but I was not impressed and I wouldn’t repeat it. Too expensive for what it offers.
Great breakfast, with variety of fruits, bread, juices and pastries. The room was very clean. Staff were very polite and respectful. The pool was great and, in general, the hotel had a great atmosphere.

MoroccoBreakfast is average. Room cleaning only done on my last day. Room amenities and equipments are limited. No boiler or coffee machine. There was an electricity issue at my room as it often went down and staff had to come assist.
Friendly staff at the restaurant with a varied menu. It was deliciously prepared. The staff at reception are always ready to assist. Room is very large and bed is confortable. It is definitly one of praia best options

United KingdomWe felt that sometimes the bar staff could be more attentive as had to ask a few times to be served drinks. A small observation in that my wife did make comment when we checked out that the bathroom towels were threaded and tatty. All trivia stuff.
As soon as we arrived, I recognised the place. I had popped in for a beer on a previous trip while exploring the area on a layover to Maio while staying a mile or so away. The property is in an excellent location for the local beaches. The hotel has a large pool which was not overcrowded and seems to be focused to a business clientele. Breakfast was a typical buffet affair catering to most needs. I did like the Cachupa! Our room was very large. An ideal location to explore the town of Praia and the surrounding areas.

FranceWhile the hotel is great and very well located, not far from two nice beaches and from Praia town center (a 5-10 minutes walk) we'd like to praise the kindness and the efficiency of the whole Hotel team. Everyone from the waiters and waitresses to the front desk managers have made our stay smooth and easy and always with a smile. Very much appreciated for our holidays. Nice People make Nice holidays. Thank you very much.

GermanySome minor issues that will probably be fixed, once more tourists come again and staff gets more training. -no fresh water bottles in the mini bar after the first day -no place at breakfast for a family of five -pool chairs could be disinfected -pool could use a deep cleaning
Loved the saltwater pool, the lush greenery and the very decent scenic background music. Relaxing at the pool always felt very good. A huge array of fresh fruit and juices for breakfast! So delicious. The beds were very comfortable. I also liked the little sitting arrangement in front of my hotel door. The room always kept quite cool, even if the AC wasn't running. Taxis are available just outside the hotel. Alugueros and busses stop at the main road, just 3 minutes away. If you want a real beach, it's a five minutes walk. The food at the restaurant is extraordinary! I absolutely loved the grilled tuna and my brother really appreciated the braised pork ribs.

United KingdomRoom was very dated and in need of a refurbishment They seemed to have a shortage of towels. No towels when checking in and later they only gave us 1 of each towel (even though there were 2 of us) Location seemed a bit sketchy to walk at night Terrible view of a metal prison fence from the ground floor rooms Nearby beach isn't great - think rocky marina Vs sandy beach
Incredible food. Breakfast + dinner were excellent, the highlight of our stay Cash machine and hertz car rental in the hotel Nearby to a few beach clubs

PortugalThe wifi sometimes was not working very well. Also just a note to be careful when washing the carpet on the corridor outside the rooms, it left a very intense smell for 2 days. Apart from that it was a great experience.
The location was super nice, 1 min away from Prainha and 2 min away from Kebra Canela beach (by car). The hotel was comfortable, very spacious room and the common areas were big and bright. The breakfast had good quality, with a lot of diversity. Staff was nice as well.

United KingdomSeawater pool not so good. Could do with a revamped pool, present one too shallow, for a hotel of this rating it should be freshwater, heated and properly sterilised and cleaned. Pool are OK though. Works going on during our stay with pneumatic drills morning and late afternoon.
