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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

BelgiumThere were a lot of ants in the kitchen. The cleaning ladies came to help us, but the ants didn't go away. No big problem though, we managed!
We were picked up by car by Eka. That way it was very easy to reach the appartment. She immediately gave us a tour of the appartment. The location was awesome, very close to the beach and the city center.

United StatesOnly reason I didn’t put 10 is the room we were accommodated with was on the first floor and facing the alleyway. No AC so the night would get quite hot with little breeze on first level, and we felt a little uncomfortable opening the windows in the bedroom as anyone walking by could look/come right in. I’m sure if you are put in the second or third level rooms this sort of review is irrelevant as you’d be able to comfortably open windows and feel the nice breeze.
Beautiful building with well decorated and put together rooms! Anyone wondering about how close it is to the beach, it’s practically beach front taking only about 100 steps from property to water. Very nice and quiet. Equidistant to town where food and bars are and beach bars and water in the other direction. Wonderful place to stay to feel real BoaVista experience instead of large inclusive tourist hotels. Owners are extremely easy to communicate with and help manage any exploration you want to do on the Island. Top notch!

NetherlandsI got unlucky with my room. It had no view and had a path running next to it and another apartment building about 15m away, so noisy. Ask for a room overlooking the beach, with a view. It'd be a lot nicer and you can sit out on your balcony early in the morning or in the late afternoon or evening, or watch the sunset etc, as the location's lovely. My room was cleaned once in 5 days, on day 4.
That they left a bottle of water in the fridge on arrival; there was a local mobile given to us to contact the staff with questions or issues; that they laid on a taxi to/from the airport; we were given a beach towel; and there was security

Lovely place. Ayana and Chris are always there, happy to help with anything you might need. They even leave a phone with local sim card, so you can make local calls if needed. Pick-up and drop-off to the airport is arranged by them and went really smooth. Ayana helped us arrange a tour and even got us discounted price. Unfortunately, we had to later cancel it, which was also unproblematic. The place itself is located right next to the beach and is close to several restaurants. Internet is a bit slow but generally enough for a whatsapp call.

GermanyWe had booked the apartment Lapa. Chris and Ayana are charming hosts who speak English, French, Portuguese, Italian and have good tips for excursions. The team on site was responsive at all times. The beach is right outside the door, beach chairs are available at various beach restaurants, 5 minutes walking distance. Breakfast cafes are also close by, with the Sodade restaurant run by Ayana and Chris particularly recommended.

Good WiFi :) So close to the beach, the view from the big terrace was amaizing. Ayana, the owner was very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe owner arranged the airport transfer and met us at the property. She showed us where everything was and how it worked and then provided information about the local area including where to shop and eat. The owners also provided a mobile phone which could be used to communicate with them or to make local calls. The apartment was immaculately clean and well equipped and even came with a complimentary bottle of the local spirit "grogue". The apartment was regularly cleaned and there was a reassuring but discrete 24 hour security presence. The owners are absolutely customer focussed - a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommended

United KingdomAyana was on hand to show us round the apartment and gave us the low-down on all the facilities. There was a very comprehensive folder of information available in the apartment throughout our stay and Ayana answered any questions very promptly. Ayana and Chris also included a mobile phone in the flat to contact them if we needed to. Our phone signal was non-existent so we could only communicate with friends and family via WhatsApp when we had Wifi. Most trips/excursions/car hire bookings are done via WhatsApp so bear this in mind - best to check with your mobile provider before you go as it can be very frustrating. The flat was delightful, comfortable, well equipped and squeaky-clean. Fantastic location, a stones throw from the beach and close to restaurants and shops. Fabulous, friendly staff at the apartments, the cleaning staff and security guy were really lovely. Really, really impressed with our stay and would recommend highly. Thank you Ayana and Chris xx
