Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PolandEverything was OK.
Great location - close to the ocean, bus stop, shops. We were located in an apartment in building B and have a leaving room with the kitchen annex (very well equipped), sleeping sofa and another sofa, a bedroom with double bed, bathroom and loggia. There is also many wardrobes in the apartament. The apartment, the hotel, the breakfast area and the swimming pool were very clean. Eating supper on the balcony and enjoying the garden and the ocean views were great experience. The staff was professional, nice and helpful. The underground parking place was very convenient.

United KingdomMaybe the gym could be slightly more modern with a sound system that you can connect your phone too, however we enjoyed using it. The restaurant could also do with some vegan options, but was glad that they had soy milk for our coffees. Thank you!
The staff were super helpful and friendly. We really loved the views, the pools and the spa treatments. The buses were super easy to catch into the city centre. We had a lovely time here, and the hotel staff organised our taxi from the airport that was super easy and then they organised our car rental, which again was super easy. Picked the car up from reception and was a lovely brand new car. Thank you!

AustraliaBreakfast hours could be slightly earlier than a 7.30 start (7am-11 perhaps) instead of 7.30-10.30. If you wish to go into town each night it is a bit far. Fitness centre equipment outdated. Kitchenette in our room but didn’t have any cutlery or plates only a couple of mugs - we asked the hotel restaurant for some and they were able to provide us with some
Excellent facilities, large clean rooms and bathroom, buffet breakfast options were great as well with gluten free upon request. Stunning view of the pool/ water and hillside Decent walk into town/ old Funchal but plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby, pools and fitness centre were clean. Staff was very lovely and helpful!

Modern and bright hotel. Ideally located to explore Funchal being close to the coastal path and regular buses. We were bed and breakfast but did go for some evening meals. The food was good in a buffet format. The room was big with a kitchenette behind some doors which we did not use. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning did its job although noisy on high. All in all we had a lovely time and would consider returning.

I spent 5 wonderful days in the hotel with 2 kids. We all liked a lot breakfasts , where we found different meal on our taste! Our appartment was really big with 2 rooms, super clean and nice with evetything needed inside! First few days it was windy, so we used to go to the inside swimming pool with jacuzzi and saunas. My kids loved this time-spending and it was very relaxed for me as well: after all day walking to swim in warm water and to get rest. The area with outside swimming pool looks much better and bigger than on the photos and it has a wonderdull views for the ocean and nature around! Very beautiful beach wit rocks is in 5 minutes walking from the hotel!

PolandThe facilities - gym and swimming pool are quite old. The sauna temperature was around 60 degree, a bit low.
The breakfast could have been more variable. The vegetable and fruit choice was not very rich. The location of the hotel is great - just next to the beach, close to Funchal, close to fully equipped grocery stores.
