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.).

The hosts at the Casa da Djedja guest house were incredible. They were so knowledgable, gave great recommendations, and organized all of our reservations. We highly recommend the breakfast at this hotel, as everything was homemade, fresh, and integrated the best parts of Cabo Verdean cuisine. Aesthetically and comfort-wise, Casa was wonderful. The room was beautiful with comfortable beds, reliable hot water, a well-functioning AC, and a large TV. It is walking distance to some of the best restaurants in Mindelo and the ocean. Thank you Patricia for an amazing stay!

GermanyIt's on the pricier side for Cape Verde, but they absolutely deliver.
A true boutique hotel that would earn top ratings anywhere in Europe. The building and the courtyard are stunning, with the smallest details carefully and tastefully thought out. Room was spacious, bed large and comfortable, and shower with great pressure. Breakfast was delicious with lots of variety. But the best part was the staff. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. They helped us areange transport and gave us great local recommendations. If we ever return to Mindelo, we're definitely staying here again.

MongoliaBreakfast: As a vegetarian I didn't like the cheese to be placed right next/under the ham. Here and there I noticed a bit of hair (not just one or two) of previous guests on the floor.
This is a very tastefully designed hotel with lots of love for detail. I found it to be my most beautiful stay on Cabo Verde. Everyone was very friendly and accomodative. The room had lots of space and very high ceilings. The breakfast was delicious and rich.

United StatesI liked everything!
This boutique hotel was well situated on a charming, quiet street in central Mindelo; it’s also only a few blocks away from the harbor and right near the main area to explore. Perfect location! From the beginning of my reservation, communication with the hotel was efficient and helpful. I also received a warm welcome upon arrival, even though I came late at night after my flight. The rooms are beautiful, well-decorated and very clean, and there is a cute patio area where you can relax outside of your rooms and have a delicious breakfast. I appreciated the friendly service and attention to detail from the staff. Absolutely loved this place and wish I could have stayed here a bit longer!

We absolutely loved Casa da DjeDja. The warm welcome, the clean and cosy rooms, delicious breakfast with the best pineapple cake, a good location to explore Mindelo and above all the kindest personnel (Patricia, Jessica, Brigitte,…). After our stay we had a layover for about 8 hours at Sao Vicente and they allowed us to come back to the casa to store our luggage and use a room to freshen up for free. We would definitely recommend and come back here.

The design of the rooms, the staff and the air conditioning. This sounds weird to mention but the air conditioning was very smooth, not one that makes you catch a cold. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we really felt at home. Finally the design, I truly loved the furniture and the paintings, so peaceful. Oh and I forgot the location, one word center, close to everything!
