Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

Got to hear the Cory's Shearwaters nesting/mating along the cliffs of the marina (visited end of May). Room was very comfortable, shower very clean, and staff so lovely! Would definitely stay again.

RomaniaOur stay was wonderful! We were especially impressed by the thoughtfulness of the cleaning staff and reception. Little gestures like chocolates on the pillow and sweets at the entrance made a difference, making us feel welcome and as though we were spending time in a family home—unlike other places. The local treats, apples, coffee, and tea available throughout the day were a nice, thoughtful addition. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the view of the port from our room was very nice. We enjoyed waking up to the gentle sound of church bells in the morning, and the refreshing little terrace was perfect for relaxing. The breakfast, which was included, was truly delicious and a great way to start the day. We can’t wait to come back!

United StatesVery difficult to find b/c it's simply a doorway with a small sign above it.
It's small (I think it was a house once) but within an excellent courtyard. Very clean and the owner is very personable. It's located near the center of Velas near a number of restaurants and the town center and it's close to the water. Has a nice continental breakfast.

Czech RepublicThis accomodation is very expensive. I stay here two nights, it cost me around 200€. Then i stay also 2 nights in “hotel sao jorge garden” whitch is like 800m away from Casa Do Antonio and it cost also around 200€ but the diference is that this hotel have pool, huge breakfast, bar and everything that big hotels have.. Casa do Antonio is guesthouse not hotel.. so if you can choose, go to hotel sao jorge garden, but if it is full Casa do Antonio is ok
Accomodation was ok, clean room, nice bathroom.

In some respects feels more like a boutique hotel than a B and B. Beautifully furnished and in a lovely location looking over the sea towards Pico. Lovely breakfast and very clean. Good value for money too. Would certainly recommend. Antonio the host is charming and very helpful.

MauritiusAntonio was really nice and waited for me until midnight because the ferry was late. It is a 3 minutes walk from the port wich was very convinient as I arrived late. The view from my room on Pico and the church was veeeery pretty in the morning. And the breakfast was simple but good with various breads. . Will definitely recommend this place for someone arriving late by the ferry or want to stay a few days in Velas.
