Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SwitzerlandThe staff were very friendly and helpful. They sent a taxi to pick us up from the airport and Veronico, our taxi driver, happened to be a tour organiser on Sao Vicente and on Santo Antão. He was so knowledgeable and made our 3-day stay (between those two islands) perfect. We had time to go on two hikes and still discover Sao Vicente. +++ The beds were exceptionally comfortable

United Kingdomwe only had the one key to the room, two ( one each) would have been helpful, but a small moan for an otherwise fine stay.
Comfortable old skool but ultra modern stay in city centre, a few interesting streets from the centre. We only stayed a night, but that was fine, huge festival going on in the city centre, so we joined in and had such fun. Room large, cool and understated style, bathroom fine, hot water etc, all good, Linen all fresh and plenty of it. Staff laid back, breakfast the usual, but enough of it, and the pool hidden in the centre of the house a decadent indulgence after the dusty Mindelo streets.

FranceNothing we did not like but one point to notice. One thing to know is that credit cards are not accepted and it was not very clear on Booking. It ended up being tricky and unsafe to withdraw cash on our last day. It could be clearer.
The place is stylish, very well located, beds are comfortable, staff is very helpful.

PortugalThough the staff was really nice and kind, they weren't truly helpful in giving us information on where to go, where to eat or what to see. They have some flyers and books at the reception but they would not provide you with many tips, even if you ask for it.
The hotel is a beautiful colonial house with a patio at the center and a small pool. The staff is welcoming and the kitchen ladies are really nice! The room was very comfortable and clean. At the last day, as we were leaving really early they were really kind and prepared us a breakfast sooner than scheduled.

United KingdomReceptionist was not always helpful clear. Said she would book us a 7.15am taxi for our 8.25 flight which didn’t arrive when we left at 7.15 and waited until 7.25. We ended up finding our own taxi. The street was very noisy and the room, even though hot, we didn’t feel comfortable opening the shutters given the people outside on the street as we were ground floor room. The safe was out of order. Guests either checked in or out at 4am which meant we were awakened by people banging through the lobby for twenty minutes talking which disrupted our night and coupled with the dogs barking outside meant our sleep was frequently broken. We were told breakfast started at 7am which we thought would work for our 7.15am departure but breakfast did not start until 7.30am.
The breakfast ladies who sorted us out with an early breakfast at 7am. The room was well nicely decorated and comfortable bed, although slightly dark and being ground floor couldn’t open shutters for light. The location was close to the centre of town and a nicely refurbished building

AustriaThe host couple is really nice and accommodating. They organised us a tailored tour on the spot when we arrived. They prepared us a breakfast to take away as we left early the next morning and finally they let us paid after several days when we returned to Mindelo as we had no cash with us when we slept there.
