Brakes sometimes don't seem to work

[A83]

Once in awhile my brakes don't seem to brake at slower speeds and when backing up.  Brake booster is only a few years old. When it happens I put the car In reverse and press the brakes hard like the old time adjustment.  Not sure if this is doing any good or not.

 

Could it be anything to do with that little hose connected to the brake pedal? 

 

Thanks
