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.).

Czech RepublicMore choices of fresh fruits and vegetables for breakfast would be appreciated.
It has a relaxed atmosphere, is quiet, and is well organized. It is in a great location near the beach and downtown. There is nothing pretentious, and the facility provides great comfort, 3 pools plus many other activities. We were allowed to stay until 10 p.m. on the departure day for a reasonable fee. Our suite was available 6 hours earlier at check-in. Both favors were very convenient and highly appreciated.

An incredible experience of true hotel service. The hotel has a long history and a large "family" (staff) who are always happy to help you. Since this hotel is the first on the island, its location is, in my opinion, the best. Loved everything!

United StatesI did not find anything particularly negative about the hotel, but it was not the most modern one I have stayed in.
The hotel staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and courtesy, contributing to an overall positive experience. The hotel's location was highly convenient and offered easy access to various amenities. The hotel's aesthetic appeal and well-maintained facilities further enhanced the overall experience.

United KingdomBreakfast was AMAZING, however a little on the pricy side if not included in your room rate, especially for kids.
Loved this hotel! Beautiful and well run. The room was immaculate, spacious and well appointed. The grounds are well kept with 3 swimming pools. The location couldn't be better with a clean beach and turquoise sea directly in front, and 2mins walk from the main walking street. The place is so well kept you its hard to believe that this was the original hotel on Sal built years ago. A much better option than all the bland generic All Inclusive hotels up the beach.

Excellent breakfast spread with a nice mix of familiar and Cabo Verdean dishes each morning. Loved the banana fritters that I treated like pancakes/waffles:) Two coffee machines so never any waits, staff was super attentive clearing plates. Excellent value

SwitzerlandThe hotel Morabeza conviced us. It‘s a great Hotel Complex and I would say it‘s the best area in Sal. The main street for a night walk is just next to it and also the “Santa Maria Pier“ is only a couple of meters away. The breakfast buffet is delicious and the 3 pools in good condition. Another plus is the “Dubliner Pub“ only 100 Meter away (football games on TV every night, except Thursdays) :-).
