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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United KingdomWe were a little disappointed that in such a big hotel there was no iron, we went to the reception and they told us that they didn't have one, we were ready to pay for such a service but they didn't have one, that's a big minus, plus there's still no wi-fi in the rooms, it's only at the reception which wasn't mentioned from the beginning which still created discomfort, there's a small kitchen in the room, I asked for a kettle to boil coffee in, the girls at the reception said they didn't have one and that I searched in vain because the hob doesn't work anyway and when I tried the hob it worked perfectly, so I don't even know that the hob works.
the perfect location for us, we had a beautiful view from the room, I want to mention that we were pleasantly surprised by the girls who clean the room, very nice and do their job very well. Overall it was good but some nuances need to be changed because they create discomfort for the guests!

Czech RepublicThere is no parking around the hotel. You can park in the street in front of the hotel but need to pay on weekdays during working hours.
We stayed just for one night and it was good. The hotel is a bit dated but you can expect that from the photos. We liked the breakfast eventhough there wasn't much variety in the food choice. We liked the garden pool. For a short term accommodation it's really fine.

United KingdomNot much happening , no entertainment in the evening other than a Friday night singer , no Gym facilities ,only an aged football table which was out of order , a table tennis table with ripped bats , the indoor pool was a good size , the outdoor not so much , the beds were uncomfortable and had old wooden blankets on them . No air conditioning, no fans in the bathroom , dated bath and shower , old brown threadbare towels , cheap toilet paper . This hotel needs some investment and modernisation, it’s stuck in a 1980’s time warp , much like a hi he hi holiday camp , boring , would I stay again , no I would not .
Just outside Funchal ,the bus stop is outside Dom Pedro and is a 20 minute ride for 2.60 euros . Staff were very friendly and helpful . Rooms were cleaned every day . Food was very good but repetitive,but lacking in imagination.coffee in an evening would have been nice after the meal , stingy with the wine .

NetherlandsThe hotel is a bit run down (>30 years old?) and could use some renovation. Shower is above a slippery bathtub, dangerous to use for older people. Wifi only in the lobby (Hotel consists of a number of separate buildings). (Paid, albeit very cheap) parking on the street, which is the very busy main street at Garajau, a nuisance to enter/get out of the car from the street side,
Location is good, easy to find and not far from Funchal, airport etc. Nice staff at the lobby. Economical and good enough for staying during the last days before leaving Madeira from the airport. Good "chocolate com leite" at the restaurant... While you stay here, the area around the Christ statue in Garajau (Miradouro do Cristo Rei) is definitely worth to visit.

BulgariaThere's no outlets in the room nor wifi, so if you need to charge your electronics or use the wifi you need to exit your building and go to the lobby, something I wasn't aware before booking.
The staff was very nice! The breakfast buffet as well has everything you meed to have a filling breakfast. Beautiful gardens with a view to the ocean and a pool.

United KingdomBeing in one of the buildings furthest from the reception, we didn't get any free wifi in the room, i'm guessing it didn't reach that far. We did get free wifi by the pool.
The room was large with plenty of space and I liked having a balcony to sit out on. The view wasn't great but we booked the hotel last minute so wasn't expecting to get one of the best rooms. The breakfast was tasty and there was plenty to choose from.
