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.).

United StatesAri, the owner, made my stay feel both comfortable and homey. The room was exactly as advertised, with an exceptionally comfortable bed. Breakfasts were delicious—especially the homemade cakes. There was even a dedicated space for kite gear, which was very convenient. Ari’s staff were professional, attentive, and excellent throughout my stay. What really stood out was Ari himself. He’s a wonderful host, and I enjoyed many great conversations with him. He offered spot-on recommendations, from the best restaurants to local kiting conditions, and even organized downwinders. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ari’s Pousada to anyone looking for a welcoming and memorable stay.

AustriaAri is the owner of the Pousada and he is the nicest man we have ever met. He is very helpful and from the first moment we met we liked him. We immediately felt like home. His English is very good. The breakfast is amazing, especially the homemade cakes. The room offers everything you need and the location is perfect for going kitesurfing at the lagoon. The sunset is very authentic and beautiful. We really appreciate Ari and will come again. When you once meet Ari, you will never forget him. The deep talks with him and his way of life is very special and there should be more people like him.

SwitzerlandThe place is very cozy and right in front of the lagoon beach. The host Ari is the nicest and most helpful person ever, he speaks good English, always makes sure everything is all right and that you are happy. He will happily give you kiting tips and also trach you some Portuguese if you want, if you are lucky he may even help you untangle your kite lines after an unexpected trip into mango trees! The all-you-can-eat breakfast which we had included will keep you going until sunset if you like. It was my first time Ilha do Guajiru, it's good for learning and when I go there next time I will not look for another place to stay but go back straight to Pousada Ventos do Guajiru!

The host kites and has provided facilities for his guests with an electric pump and his own lookout post over the lagoon. super breakfast with a lot of focus on good fruit. The room has opportunities to hang clothes etc. some that you don't see very often.

Switzerland—
My husband and I had a fantastic stay at this pousada! The breakfast was delicious, and the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it easy to meet other guests, but there’s also plenty of space for a quiet escape. For kitesurfing, the location is unbeatable—just 100 meters from the starting zone, with a compressor on-site, so no pumping required! It’s also a quick 2-minute walk to “Do Mar,” where you can take lessons, launch and land kites, and enjoy a great meal. Our room was simple yet comfortable, equipped with AC, a large bathroom, drying areas for kite gear, and a hammock to relax. The host, Ari, made all the difference—he’s warm, helpful, and even took us to the hospital when needed, translating at the doctor’s. Truly a place that feels like home. Highly recommend!

CanadaThe rooms are perfect for sleeping, but a little desk could be of help (at least the room I was in, didn't have any). I didn't ask, so probably Ari would have hooked me up either way, but I was only 4 days, so I didn't really need it. For longer stays, a desk would be nice.
Breakfast is okay, location is perfect, and Ari is the best host i've ever had. I was traveling solo, looking for some downwinders. Ari made a few calls and within 5 minutes he hooked me up with the best downwind of my life. I would stay again just because how nice the host is.

ItalyThe location, at 2 minutes walking distance from the center but still in a quiet area. The owner is a wonderful person, he is always at customers disposal to provide any kind of help and support for whatever request possible. He truly and genuinely cares for his customers. The facility offers loads of space to store your kite equipment and a space to wash it with clean water. The rooms are comfortable and spotless clean, the breakfast is very yummy, offering tons of fresh fruits, sweet and salty dishes, even cooked on the spot. Plenty of parking space just in front of the hotel. This is the second year in a row that I stay at this hotel and I am looking forward to going again next year. I definitely recommend all kite surfers and not, to stay at this lovely Pousada.

United StatesThere was nothing not to like! We enjoyed our stay very much.
We've had a fantastic stay here. Senhor Ari (the owner) goes above and beyond to make sure your stay at this pousada is memorable. In fact, he is the friendliest and nicest Brazilian I have ever met. The rooms have everything you need, including AC and a fridge. The place is just perfect for kitesurfing (let's face it, otherwise you wouldn't be here). You could dry your wet gear on the balcony and the lagoon is just a few steps away. The property has an air compressor to inflate your kites and a shower to rinse your gear. The pousada is about a 2 min walk from the main road with the nice restaurants. Yet, these 100 meters are enough to keep your room quiet at night. The breakfast is very good: both a buffet and made-to-order. The whole vibe is fantastic and I promised Ari and myself I would go back one day! After our stay in Ilha de Guajiru we went to Jeri. If I were to pick only one destination I would definitely pick the laid-back atmosphere in Ilha de Guajiru over the crazy crowds in Jeri.

ItalyI had a great experience at Pousada Ventos do Guajiru. The host, named Ari, is a wonderful person who will take care of you and make sure that you feel comfortable. He will do his best to satisfy any possible request, from a special check-in time to any specific food you wish at breakfast, to kite equipment school and rental, transportation etc. The facility is simple, very comfortable, spotless clean. The location is just 1-2 minutes walk from the center of the village. At the hotel, you will have plenty of space to keep your kite equipment safe. Breakfast is very yummy, with a large selection of fresh fruits, juices, tea, coffe, milk, cakes, biscuits, cooked dishes like eggs and tapioca and much more. I can only strongly suggest to chose this Hotel for your stay at Ilha do Guajiru!

It is the perfect place to stay in Ilah. Great staff, great breakfas, great location. The owner of the Pousada will make you feel right at home. The bathrooms are very clean, and the beds were the most comfortable of all the beds I tried in Brasil. Every problem I had I received immediate help no matter th issue. We were driven to the supermarket, to different spots and we received help when parts of the Kite equipment broke. I am still very greatful for that.
