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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Jo is an amazing hostess. She makes you feel at home and she prepares coffee and scrambled eggs for breakfast. The beds were comfortable, with light points, charger with support for smartphones and great bedsheets. The A/C works well during the night.

United StatesI can’t point anything that I didn’t like about Jô’s place. I just didn’t like that I had to leave.
Clean, family oriented , close to markets and beaches, this property is the best place I’ve stayed. The check in and check out processes is completely smooth, the location is easy to find and the beds and pillows are very comfortable. I am a frequent flyer, I’ve travelled over 40 countries and stayed at hotels and hostels of all of kind shapes. Jô’s place exceeded my expectations not only because of the great setup of the property, but also because Jô herself is a very wonderful person to each guest. She’s a very kind, compassionate and carrying woman and she makes everyone feel welcome and a valued guest. Her hospitality skills are something positively far beyond of any review that she has got. During my stay, I was well taken care of by her and all the people involved at running the place. Every guest that I saw checking out, had some kind word to say to her, because she made them, me included, feel like family, not like another guest added to the extensive list of people that had stayed there. If you are looking for a place to stay in Ilhéus, I highly recommend Jô’s property..

NetherlandsThe bed was too hard. I got a bit of a back problem. But ok, this is personal. The first night there was no water. I dont know why exactly but they did do everything to find a solution if we wanted to shower.
The room is really big and very clean. The shower was good! The owners are super friendly and they made a small breakfast for free. The location is ok but the centre of the town is too far so you need an Uber.

BrazilI had an absolutely amazing experience at this hostel. Everything from the staff, who were incredibly friendly and provided valuable tips on local dining options, to the exceptional cleanliness of the rooms (which were some of the cleanest I've ever seen in a hostel), the comfortable beds, and the well-equipped kitchen made my stay exceptional. Additionally, its proximity to the airport was convenient—I was able to walk to the hostel from there. Plus, there are fantastic beaches just a 10-minute stroll away and a large supermarket nearby. I truly loved my time here! Thank you again for hosting me. Felt truly at home.

The owners and staff do their best to give a good experience to the guests, everyone was very helpful. The place is clean, has nice a kitchen, a small living/waiting room, several toilets, one feels like at home. Walking distance to the beach. Quiet neighborhood, with supermarkets and restaurants nearby.
