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...).

United KingdomI love my tea and coffee so would have loved these facilities in my room.
Quaint small hotel in Central Mindelo. No.pool or restaurant but staff more than made up for that. A good breakfast buffet plus you could order snacks eg sandwiches, coffee etc all day long. A lovely rooftop terrace gave views across Mindelo. Always happy and willing to help, they treat you like a member of the family. While everyone was fab I'd like to pick out Jaizela for going just that little bit further. She did her job so well and had a wonderful friendly manner. Thank you Kira's hotel for a great two night stay!

The hotel was lovely, in a quiet area bit still close to the city center and the beach. The rooms are comfy, clean and airconditioned. The breakfast area was cute too. We got great recommendations from the staff, who were generally so lovely. We also felt super safe, as there was a guard present at all times. We even recommended the hotel to other travellers we met later.

PortugalBathroom was super small and there was a water leakage from somewhere as there was a noise like if the water reservoir from the toilet was broken or something. From my point of view the cost-benefit is a bit high.
Room was clean and tidy, good breakfast, staff is extremely attentive, the hotel is close to bars, restaurants and also close to the ferry port and close to Laginha beach. The room was comfortable, with complimentary water, AC and a ceiling fan. Toiletries are provided.

BelgiumThe only thing I missed was a good coffee with my breakfast, the coffee available was some kind of instant coffee. But not such a big thing, more than enough places to drink a good coffee in Mindelo! We liked our stay a lot!
I liked our stay at Kira’s very much. Very good location, safe, always someone available for everything. Friendly staff, very delicious breakfast. The breakfast was also locally inspired, selfmade bread, cake, yoghurt, juice, catchupa …, but if you just want a continental breakfast there is also more than enough choice!

GermanyOn our second night we had a room facing the street. It got pretty loud until about 11 pm.
Breakfast was amazing. There was lots of variety in the buffet selection, from homemade bread to homemade yogurt and freshly made omlettes or fruit juice, there was nothing more we could want. Also, the room was very nice and the owner was very helpful regarding dinner choices, the ferry schedule and arranging transportation. We liked it so much, we came back for another night after returning from Santo Antao.
