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.).

UkraineNo lamp by the bed. Only soap for washing, there was no shower gel or shampoo. Wardrobe was dirty at the top (dust), which made my clothes dirty. Breakfast starts quite late, at 8:00 and is limited in itself, also on the second morning, I arrived later and the impression was that no more food was added after it started - the choice was even smaller than on the first morning.
Friendly staff. Large room. Bed was quite comfortable as for me. Location is specific, but there is a bus stop nearby, which can take you to the center for less than 50 escudos, it was safe at night in my opinion. There are several small supermarkets nearby, a bank to change money, cafés etc. You can pay by card for the stay. Good fridge, air conditioning.

Italynot the best location but safe!
Great ‘hostel’ which I’d say feels more like a hotel! One of the best rooms I have had in Cabo Verde for this price! Totally recommend it. The receptionist Bacarri was of great help and very friendly, sound guy! Breakfast was included and it has a lovely selection with fresh Baobab juice too! Wi-fi worked fine as well.

United KingdomFew small things. No towel provided, didn’t have time to ask so used my own. Air con remote a little temperamental. Wouldn’t want to walk into town on my own at night from there, but fine in the day. Only a sheet provided.
Good value, pleasant and helpful staff, decent breakfast for the cost of the stay, large room. Air con ok though remote a little temperamental. Shower fine. A bit rough around the edges in places, and some music playing in the street until after midnight, but overall good value and what I needed.

The front desk staff Bacary and Andrea were very friendly and always willing to help with anything. The breakfast was great always fresh bread ,fruit,cake ,juices etc Had a very nice clean and comfortable room with balcony. I liked that the place was always kept spotless. Location wasn’t too bad it was just a short taxi or bus ride to town and maybe a 15 min walk to the beach.

PolandThe location is not the best but it is still a walkable distance to the beach or to the town centre - or a short taxi ride.
Simple and affordable accommodation, comfortable and exactly as expected - good value for money! Friendly staff and breakfast included. I was surprised to discover the room was air conditioned too. Exactly what I needed for a one night stay in Praia.

AustraliaWifi would drop out often but I was hardly in my room so it wasn't a major problem.
The staff really made me feel welcome and were always available to answer any enquiries I had. I ended up extending my stay and they were very accomodating. I flew in very late in the evening and as a solo female traveller, arriving in to a new city can be quite daunting, but there was already a staff member waiting to help with my luggage from the taxi. Breakfast was healthy and delicious with plenty of options available, and was offered in a lovely communal space. Location was close to supermarkets and good restaurants with more of a local vibe, which I find more enjoyable than what you can find in the overpriced tourist areas.

GermanySee above: the area around is more a residential area, not super downtown. But if you're not looking for many bars and restaurants, you'll be happy here!
Very friendly staff and good quality rooms. Some of them have private balconies. Also breakfast was good. Though keep in mind that this hostel is about 1.5km from the city centre in a residential area AND you have to walk up and down 2 hills to get there. This is not particularly bad, just noteworthy, especially if you're without a car.

You can take the bus no 6 to the city center (Plateau) a vouple of streets away if you want to explore the local sights. Breakfast was basic. Overall a good stay for a hostel!

SloveniaRooms with slightly worn-out furnishings. In one room there was air conditioning in the other only a fan. Since we were a family of four, we could be put in rooms on the same floor and thus share the same bathroom without being scattered all over the hostel. The shared bathroom could use some renovation, especially the shower cabin.
Since we arrived in the middle of the night, they organized a transfer from the airport. The staff were pleasant. Breakfast was basic and self-service, nothing special. The location is a bit remote, but peaceful. Definitely recommended for those with a car. There are some great restaurants nearby that are within walking distance.
