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 StatesOnly tiny improvement could be the air conditioning unit working more consistently but was fine overall.
Some of the best hotel views on the island!! Loved our balcony room. Amazing made to order breakfast every morning. Staff were always super friendly. Could access the whole island easily from there. Easy free parking. We were there for 8 nights and had the best time! Great value for the money we paid. Could walk to local market and cafe. Fun ocean swimming hole and lookout right across from the hotel.

United StatesA small family run hotel (8 rooms) located right on the water in Ponta Delgada. The family and staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. The entire hotel was spotlessly clean. Our room was not large, but very clean and very comfortable. Location worked very well for us - walking distance to several very good restaurants and easy access to routes out of town to explore the island.

United StatesWe didn't have any problems during our stay.
The staff are fantastic at the Garoupas Inn. They were very warm and accommodating. We were teated very well for our entire stay. The location is great. Only 10 minutes from the airport. The view from our room was beautiful. The are is near to some nice restaurants and beaches. The island is not huge, so it was easy to get to all the great parks, trails and view points are within an hour from the Inn. The parking was good but there was a road closure for large waves and we had to park a short distance away one night but it was still free and seemed secure. The breakfast was very good. Overall a great stay at the Garoupas Inn. I would come back again.

GreeceThe stay was overall pleasant, but I believe the rooms could benefit from some improvements in terms of infrastructure. On a few occasions, the air conditioning didn’t work properly, and there was some noise from the outside air. It would be great if the rooms were equipped with more efficient systems to ensure better comfort. Nonetheless, I appreciate the effort put into maintaining the property.
The staff was extremely polite and helpful, and the cleanliness of the property was impressive. We felt very comfortable during our stay, almost like at home

CanadaThere is nothing I didn't like about it. Everything about this place was amazing.
The owner and all the staff were extremely friendly and we were welcomed with a bottle of wine in our room. They provided us with many recommendations for activities and restaurants and even made reservations for us. The breakfast was great! There was a nice selection of food and beverages, and the staff would even cook the bacon and eggs whichever way we wanted when we would come down, making sure everything was hot and fresh for us. The room was very clean and the view was spectacular! I definitely recommend getting an ocean view room, you will not be disappointed. The hot tub was also very nice. The location is great because it is close to the beach and to the downtown of Ponta Delgada but the street is quiet and peaceful. Excellent central point to explore the island from. The owner and staff really make you feel like family. I cannot recommend this place enough, I will definitely be staying here again!
