Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

BelgiumThe room was a bit outdated and some of our sheets had some stains on it. The Wi-Fi wasn’t really working, unfortunately.
Hotel room was close to everything and is situated in the city center of Mindelo. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We asked for a packed breakfast as we needed to take the ferry early the next morning (before breakfast time). We were very happy to see that they had prepared a bag full of goodies for us!

Czech RepublicWe had one night with strong winds and their balcony doors were not well fixed so banging very loud. However next night with no wind it was no problem anymore. Also the warm water doesn’t stay warm enough for two people showering after each other or for a bath.
Great friendly service even at night. Basic fine rooms, good enough for the price value. Very clean including the common areas. Great location for restaurants in the city and the beach.

NorwayThe Wifi-connection was not very good. It was also too bad that the restaurant was not open in the evening. We stayed here 4 years ago and at that time it was open every night with live music.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is very central, near the port and the market.

FranceAlthough I was supposed to get a better room, with a balcony, and the bed was comfortable enough, when I took a shower tue next day the water came out brown! Dirt brown!
The location is unbeatable, right in the centre of town, the building has a lot of potential but currently is in shambles!

GermanyWe were deeply disappointed with our stay. The "suite" looked nothing like the photos—it felt more like a dark, unpleasant hole. From the moment we arrived, we felt uncomfortable. Our "suite" was located directly above the kitchen, and the smell was unbearable. The kitchen’s exhaust fan was right outside our window, making the noise deafening. Sleeping was nearly impossible. To make matters worse, we even encountered cockroaches in the bathroom. Overall, this was an awful experience, and we would not recommend staying here.
The matrass was comfort6tzc4able. The personal was helpful and friendly.
