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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

SwedenYou can hear a lot of noise and music from the bars nearby, it didn't bother us at all once we knew about it in advance but it's good to have that in mind case you have issues to sleep with noise / music.
Really good location close to the beach and close to many bars and restaurants. The staff is super nice, friendly and always ready to help fixing taxi from airport or any other needs during our stay.

Perfect appartment, close to everyting, host responded to all our queries/needs, exceeding what is to be expected. We had delays on our flight and Rod was extremely helpful in helping us finding a way to get to the flat. And we had no troubles from noisy neighbourhood. But you should remember you are staying in the heart of Santa Maria. Beautiful Rooftop terrace!

Great wifi, super clean, crispy towels, great roof top, well equipped apartment! Rod allowed us to leave our luggage some time past the check out time

GermanyThe water pressure could be better, but nothing to worry about. The bed was squeaking which could be fixed.
Rod - the host - is very helpful and forthcoming. He organized an airport transfer for us and was always available. The thing we loved the most was the spacious rooftop with ocean view. The apartment itself was well equipped and spacious as well. The location is close to the beach and central to restaurants and stores.

Everything was great! Very clean. The internet was stable and I was able to get some mobile work done (including calls)! Its right next to the surf reef and the beach. It is a very spacious place.

Denmarkwould’ve been nice with a hair dryer and also cleaning could’ve been a little better as there was squashed bugs on the walls by the bed and in the bathroom from previous guests. It can be a bit noisy with the music from outside, however I was aware of this before I booked it based on the reviews and as I am a heavy sleeper, I wasn’t too bothered by this. but a light sleeper might have a problem with this
the location is fantastic, less than a min walk to Santa Maria beach and also the main steet where all the bars and restaurants are. Rod (the host) was also fantastic, he came on the 2nd day to introduce himself and told me to let him know if there was any issue and also gave some general information. I ended up messaging him as there was some problems with the shower head, the next day this was fixed :-)

SwedenSee above
At first I got a flat facing the street with a bar which was quite load. Since Im not really a party girl I was not very happy But the manager has other Apartments and immediately moved me with no extra charge. So really that worked out well and my apartment was really nice and I could see the ocean from my Window. Also there is a rooftop excellent for yoga practise. Friendly staff and good managment. Comfortable bed. Water pressure is a bit low but that goes for the entire island I think. I would recommend staying here, and to Ask for ocean view! 🫶🫠

NetherlandsOfcourse when you're staying in such a central place, it can be noisy. If you like to party a lot, you won't mind. There's music until 3 in the night. Sometimes longer. And this music comes from different places, so you also can't enjoy it😅. It's like there's a dj playing under your window.
It was very spacious, clean en in the middle of the centre of Santa Maria. The beach is across the street. The owner is really helpfull and arranged a trusted taxi driver for me.

United KingdomThe only thing which could have been better is if more people used the rooftop terrace as it would have been great to meet more people out there
Roderick was incredibly helpful throughout our stay and was very flexible in allowing us to have a late check out on our last day. He is very knowledgeable about the island and has great communication. The apartments themselves are really well located, have everything you need and are very clean.

United KingdomReally minor: Maybe balcony sound isolation could be a tiny bit better, but didn't bother me as a good sleeper, plus it's what you get when staying central. Little dryer thing on the balcony could help :)
You can't think of a better location in Santa Maria. Just seconds from both beach and the High street. The apartment had A/C which was perfect, all you need in the kitchen and the view from the rooftop is spectacular! Perfect for watching sunset with a glass of wine! The owner is super friendly, responsive and helpful.

SwitzerlandLocation is very noisy (party till 4, construction site starting early in the morning. Also the locals that talk to you appear all friendly first but ultimately want to sell/beg for you to buy overpriced junk. Got severe food poisoning in a restaurant that was recommended by a shop owner. Im still barely clinging to life after 3 days. Doesn't seem to be rare to catch this "Shigella" on this island.
Great and clean appartments.

Poland- No amenities in the bathroom (was staying in few other spots in cabo verde that were much cheaper and it was available) - booked double bed room (as I was travelling with my partner) the owner asked if we want two single bed appartment - very unprofessional approach (I am aware of the room type while confirming booking) - owner offered ‚cheap’ Taxi to bring us from the airport to the spot - we could arrange transportation for way cheaper money (1 eur per person) - price vs quality received
- view from the rooftop terrace
