How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewReneta at the reception was very helpful and friendly.
Most disappointing thing was one evening when I asked to get a cup of hot water as I was sick and wanted something warm for my throat from the man who introduced himself as restaurant manager (Jan/Ian), he said "the kitchen is not for boiling water, its for cooking" and refused even if I told him I am sick. Super unhelpful and unsympathetic. You won't wanna spend your holiday in such a place where there refuse even simplest things. Breakfast was not fresh, the same cakes can be served for several days despite they are already dried out waiting on the breakfast table. There is an issue with hot water, you need to turn the handle in a very specific way and this was not explained as we arrived, we had to go to reception several times to fit this.

Verified reviewThe property’s location is amazing and right next to everything you need on the island! They also let us leave luggage for check out which was helpful and there were downstairs showers
It was incredibly basic. The air conditioning works but is very loud and there was a smell of damp in the room. The toilet barely flushed properly.

Only thing was that in my room (7) the AC was quite old (dial controlled) and at floor level and didn’t cool the room very much. (There was a standing fan also)

Verified reviewThe breakfast was amazing! The housekeeper and the receptionist (Bianca) really made the effort to cater to us. We loved our stay and would recommend this place to anyone visiting Ilha Grande. The location is also perfect, right on the beach.

Verified reviewThe location and the hammock.
The air con didn't work 😕
Good afternoon Gemma! What a pitty! If you had told us then we would have seen what the problem was. Anyway, we went to the room as soon as you left and the air conditioning worked perfectly. Perhaps, you should have asked us how to use it. We appreciate your comments because it helps us to improve. Kind regards and we hope to see you next time!

Verified reviewWe had a great stay at Pousada Tropicana - the location is perfect for exploring Vila do Abraao and Ilha Grande. The property was clean and comfortable and the staff were incredibly helpful- giving us tips for good hikes and even ran after us after we had checked out to return a lost item. Would highly recommend!

Verified reviewGreat location, right next the pier! The staff is extremely delightful, they helped us with planning our activities around the island and also were very flexible with regard to the check out time. They also provide snorkel gear and beach chairs that can be used by the guests. The breakfast was good.

Verified reviewNothing.
Everything was wrong about this place. I booked 3 rooms for me and my family and this is the summary of this "Pousada". (I made 2 reservations so I will make 2 reviews with the same content.) 1. The rooms smell like toilet. I don't know what is the problem that they have with the bathrooms, but neither the toilets were cleaned before our arrival, neither their pipes work. 2. Everything in the room is humid. No chance to dry any clothes. 3. Breakfasts are dangerous - 3 of our group had a food poisoning during stay. Even if you don't get poisoned, the food is not fresh and tasteless. 4. You may think that location is good, but it's actually awful. Since it's just next to the boats there is a neverending crowd of people. 5. The rooms are extremely small. You can't open your luggage, or walk without hitting something. 6. "Air conditioning" as they call it is like a back side of a fridge that makes sound of a small motorcycle. Also - the one in my room broke. 7. This place needs a major renovation! It's never easy to write such a bad review about a business, but I wish I could know all this before I made the reservation and ruin my family time on Ilha Grande.
