How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewGood location, clean & spacious. Nice early takeaway breakfast for those doing the Pico hike.
Not entirely sure why it’s bright red. Doesn’t really blend well with the environment around it. Also the room was sort of set up to be a studio apartment - cooking extractor fan but no hob or oven. A bit strange! Check in is at 4 not 3 as advertised

Verified reviewThe property was clean and comfortable, although the bed was a little hard. The room was spacious.
This is not a spa facility. Nothing works. The indoor pool is cold, the sauna is never turned on, and the steam room is never turned on. I am disappointed as I booked this place for the spa facilities. Breakfast was average. Not bad but not very good.

Verified reviewVery comfortable room. Location and view fantastic. Pleasant pool area. Access to the sea just a few steps away. Friendly staff.
There could be a few more sunbeds to accommodate all guests. Breakfast room not the most pleasant (despite view on Mt Pico). Spa area a bit small and tight to be fully comfortable.

Verified reviewVery modern, clean and comfortable accommodation. Loved how we had a view of the Pico mountain on one side, and a view of Faial island on the other. Conveniently located with some really good restaurants close by and a large supermarket. It was perfect for our stay.

There wasn't anything that I would complain about.

Verified reviewSpotlessly clean, welcoming staff, very spacious and comfortable bed, great breakfast and nice sauna. It’s a walking distance to access to a sea swimming area and the unesco winery. We could see mount Pico from our window. Perfect stay.
I’m not sure what to say, everything was perfect.

Verified reviewThe room was modern, very well designed, confortable and clean.
The property description for my stay deceptively mentioned a "sea view". There was no such thing. I had a great view of the Pico mountain though. No bottle opener or corkscrew while the mini-bar has items that require one. Shower hot-water seems to be running on some kind of pump resulting in the water temperature constantly changing from being warm to being warm/cold.
