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.).

Greetings, it is unfortunate to see this rating, as it does not reflect the real story. your request for a room upgrades but did not want to pay the price of the room - then, you cancelled your active reservation at no charge.

Verified reviewIt's spotless, good hot water, great beds, good location for walking around town. Nice people working there, and a lot of the guests were Cape Verdians rather than tourists.
My only complaint is with the wifi. It's terrible. It was so bad that I couldn't pay my bill with a credit and had to go to an ATM for cash. I would still stay there again, though.
Greetings, Thank you for your review/comments. Cape Verde is a seasonal location for immigrants, locals and tourists, all depend on the day you came. We have Wi-Fi in the main areas, and we do inform our customers about the hot spot locations where the bandwidth/speed is higher. The upgrade of the internet is in planning. Safe travel/return to all. Thank you for having stayed with us.

Verified reviewWell located right in the center
This hotel must be upgraded/ renovated. it’s a shame because it’s very well located but they need to renovate the whole hotel. the windows were falling apart and doesn’t close, in the shower the water was coming out and sink the whole bathroom the curtain in the shower were filthy . too noisy and the staff are not very welcoming
Greetings, Thank you for the comments/rating/feedback. Upgrades are underway and shall be made further., once the customers also agree to pay more for additional comfort at our facility. No other words are needed, as you know the reality of the country.

Verified reviewNice staff, good wifi and breakfast (if there is one). The restaurant's food and service is recommendable, but that's no reason to stay here.
On arrival day, the owner was very friendly when she offered me the suite for my first night instead of the double room I had booked. The next day she banged on my door and made it clear that "check out is at 12 o'clock". This was not communicated to me and this is not how you should "talk" to a customer (which obviously prefers staying three nights in the same room). I then moved into my double room, which was obviously an old smoking room: The pillows stank disgustingly and I had to wash my pyjama after this stay. Also you could hear the neighbours going to the toilet. When I left on Monday morning, there was no breakfast at 7.05h (breakfast 7-10h), the restaurant was dark and nobody there.
There is no need to reply to this client, as it is obvious that the entire truth has not been said. No smoking policy is in place- customers' action cannot be controlled 100%. Hope she enjoyed the courtesy of extra services she received from our staff and enjoyed her stay in Mindelo.
