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.).

RomaniaWe would have liked the ground floor swimming pool to be warmer.
Great location, wonderful staff, rooms are comfortable, loved both swimming pools, nice view while having breakfast. We had an issue with the room the first night and the staff was very helpful even during the night.

PortugalI found a big cocroach in the bathroom which I had to get rid of and the bathroom floor had hairs from the last guest.
I really appreciated having had my room upgraded to a junior suite. It provided much better conditions than a regular room. Towels were very clean and the facilities were great.

United StatesA very pleasant hotel run by Cape Verdeans, which is definitely a plus. The cleanliness around the pool area could be slightly improved. Breakfast was very good, although if you go towards the end of the service, some items may be missing. Location is great: 2 minutes walk to the ferry terminal and 6 minutes to the city center. We had an issue at the pool: the water suction vent pulled in my friend’s leg while she was naturally leaning against the edge enjoying the view, and she ended up with a large bruise. Another woman in the pool at the same time experienced the same problem, as it’s an area where anyone might rest during a swim. A warning sign or a repair is needed to avoid further accidents. Also, the hotel forgot to send the airport transfer to pick us up as arranged, but fortunately, the taxi was easy to find and inexpensive

PortugalThere was no written information in the room about prices for: laundry, food & beverages, towels for the pool. There was no information about TV channels some of which were not working properly and even though I informed the staff at the reception, nothing had changed when I returned to my room at the end of the night. Lastly, the towels although laundered were no longer white but, yellowish which made them seem dirty and old.
The food and service.

United KingdomThe quality of the breakfast (juices, fruit, yogurts, coffee and pastries) is imo poor. I've never seen the bar next to the reception open.
It is perfectly located (across the street from the marina) to go fishing. The staff is kind and the hotel is clean.

SpainThis hotel is located at walking distance from the ferry to Santo Antao, If you need a bit of comfort and luxury, this is your place to stay. The hotel looks brand new, there is a chill out pool with bar on the roof terrace and another pool at the ground floor. But it is a hotel, you need to wear a bracelet and it felt like a resort to me. This accommodation is not really to be compared to the many guesthouses to be found in Mindelo. But if you look for something like a formal hotel, I can highly recommend the place. There was also a gym, a very nice breakfast in buffet style included, and I also received a free room upgrade upon arriving. The staff was formal but very friendly.

ItalyThere was nothing NOT to like, all was perfect.
Prefect central location, close to all attractions and beach, excellent staff team (helpful, professional, efficient and friendly), pristine facilities, outstanding views from the room. The staff in particular are first rate, especially LOREN and NOELIA (and also Antônio) who sought to attend to our needs in a very attentive and professional manner.

United KingdomThe roof pool was a little dirty with lots of floating things in it so maybe best to have it cleaned and provide towels up there. Some of the generic things to buy like water were very expensive and laundry was very expensive.
Good location. Clean/large rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful.

United KingdomJust 1 lift for building and the downstairs swimming pool.
The hotel is not Amazing like the pictures, but it is clean and well located, I can say it is good. The rooms are like 3* hotels, very basic! The swimming pool is between the 3 building so is not sunny there and is not deep enough for swimming. During my 9 days there I just saw 2 people there for short swim. The breakfast was the same everyday and after 9 am the food was not replaced, so you will not find there fruit, bread and too many items. And also just 1 lift for 6 floors and about 25 bedrooms per floor and when the lift is going up it not stop , for example if the lift is going to 6 floor (breakfast ) and you are in 4 floor waiting to go up, the lift will not stop, its go straight up to 6 floor even if it is not full. Imagine it in busy hours ( breakfast time) The staff is the best part of the hotel, they are very polite and helpful.
