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.).

Fantastic location Everything within easy reach Hotel was very comfortable Staff very efficient and friendly Room large and bed very comfortable. The rooftop is great and with a pool but too cold to use, which is a shame. Breakfast a good start to the day, good variety Would recommend and book again

GermanyThe bed was a little bit hard and made some noises, but that was totally okay, because the hotel itself (even though it is directly in the city center) was very quiet.
The staff was very kind! We directly felt welcome and the staff was really supportive in any requests - they even did some kind of "lunchpackage" when we could not make it to the breakfast. The rooms were clean and modern, we really appreciated the location of the hotel, as it is directly in the city of Funchal and you can walk everything you need to see in the city.

United KingdomThe coffee at breakfast was grim, no matter how we tried to circumvent what came out of the machine. The very thin toilet paper is probably the thinnest we have ever had to use.
Our room with a seaview (on the 6th floor) exceeded our expectations. It was spacious and comfortable: we particularly liked the large balcony with a table and two chairs where we read, enjoyed a drink and could people watch. Every member of staff was warm, happy to help, and professional. Choices available at breakfast were excellent and constantly replenished. The hotel is an easy walk to a number of the sights and a wide choice of restaurants. The roof terrace is a plus: a small plunge pool in which to cool off; loungers, deckchairs and a choice of tables and chairs; a bar serving drinks and snacks with a smile!

United KingdomI’m not too sure if there was room service. I couldn’t see any literature in the room for it. Otherwise I didn’t have any issue.
It was a nice location in the hotel on an upper floor. Good view and relaxing atmosphere. The people at the front desk were very helpful when I needed directions. Ok the whole a very pleasant experience. Thank you.

United KingdomThe WiFi in the rooms was very patchy but worked fine in common areas. The buffet breakfast had a lot of choice but would benefit from different breakfast specials for variety.
Staff were exceptionally kind to my wife and father-in-law, particularly Luis. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. There was very little external noise and did not interrupt sleep at all. The rooftop swimming pool, though small, is in a nice space with views of the city. There's a large supermarket, shops and plenty of restaurants within a short walk of the hotel.

Beautiful hotel. Great location, first of all, walking distance from everywhere. If you like jogging, this is the hotel for you because it's not fat from the promenade. Madeira is not renowned for its beaches; however, the hotel has a pool on the top floor with a great restaurant right next to it. Don't forget to pack your swimming gear. Rooms are modern and clean, plus they have big balconies to sit outside with a glass of vino. Staff were amazing, and the breakfast was also nice. Buffet but lovely 😍

NetherlandsThe rooftop swimming pool is quite small - did ot use it due to the poor weather, the terrasse was closed. Having to pay extra 15€ per day for parking means that parking is not a feature of the hotel; you can find cheaper parking for 2,50e a day 8min walk away.
Great location near the old town, everything is easily accessible by foot. Very helpful staff and large, comfortable rooms.
