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.).

Verified reviewFriendly 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.
No 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.
Dear Madam, We appreciate your detailed feedback regarding your recent stay. We are glad that you enjoyed our staff, the spacious room, the comfortable bed, and the convenient location with nearby transportation and services. However, we regret the lack of a lamp, the lack of shower gel/shampoo, and especially the dirty wardrobe. We apologize for these inconveniences, as they do not reflect our standards of cleanliness. Regarding breakfast, we are very sorry that the timing and replenishment of items did not meet your expectations. Your comments are very important and we are already reviewing these points for improvement. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again for an even better experience. Best regards Txada Hostel

A little list of broken stuff for the second floor room called "Santiago": door latch does not work, electrical sockets fall off, bed side lamps have no plugs (!?), fridge does not close properly runs all night and prevents sleeping, the one sofa is broken and unfit to seat presumptive user, curtains fall off when trying to close them as rods not fastened to brackets, bathroom furniture falling to bits, etc.

Verified reviewI had an absolutely wonderful stay at this lovely hotel. Lena, Jil, Bacary, and the rest of the staff was incredibly kind and helpful, going above and beyond to help with absolutely everything I needed. They are very special people, and they are running a very clean, comfortable, reliable place. I would absolutely stay here again. The wifi worked well, I appreciated the hot shower, the bed was comfortable, and I enjoyed the location. About a half-hour walk from Plateau, Sucupira, or Palmarejo, with plenty of ATMs, minimarts, and restaurants just a few minutes' walk away.

Verified reviewGreat ‘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.
not the best location but safe!

Verified reviewThank you so much for holding on to my baggage safely
I'd just add liquid soap to the bathroom and a small bedside yellow lamp for lower light exposure before sleeping. Everything else was great.

Verified reviewGood 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.
Few 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.

Verified reviewThe 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.
can’t think of anything

Verified review- good breakfast - very helpful personal
- no warm water in the shower - anyone in the corridor is going to see you in the shared bathroom even if they don’t want to because the bathroom door is see through and the room doors are close to it - a huge worm in the shower has scared me

Verified reviewSimple 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.
The 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.
