Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomSince it is quite expensive, I would expect a bit more amenities. There is a washing mashine, but no detergent. Even after we asked multiple times and were assured to get some, we didn't. There was also only instant coffee that wasn't refilled every day. Although the accommodation is a bit off the centre, there are no bikes offered. We would have even paid for those.
Very clean and spacious, outside seating, sea view.

The property was as advertised and perfect for our requirements. Beautiful views of the sea from the front and Mt Pico from the back and side. Well equipped, beds very comfortable and great shower with hot water. Situated 10-15 min walk to the centre of Madalena - easy walk either along the sea road or main road. 5 mins walk from lava pools. I cant fault anything about the property- we had a fantastic stay. The owners were really friendly and helpful- great communication before and during the stay. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this property - if you dont have good mobility choose the other accommodation here - there is an incline to get to these apartments. Unforgettable experience.

CanadaThe water drained a little slow in the shower, but not a big problem.
We had a car, so location was no problem. We checked in after midnight and getting the keys were no problem, even though it was late she wanted us to buzz in to make sure we know how to find our rooms. The room was tidy, the kitchen had some coffee and water. The washroom was clean and had body wash. It is by the coast, so during the day you can see the ocean out of the window. This is family run business, and the dad was very excited to show us his homemade liqueur and we got to try some as well - very yummy. Family friendly stay. :)

HungaryWe would book again, overall we liked it a lot. The warm water in the shower was somewhat unstable. For the blanket we would prefer duvet covers instead of putting the blanket between sheets.
Fantastic sea view, cozy apartment, very clean and quiet. The cute little dog of the owner came over to visit.

The apartment was clean and well equipped, on a silent location but still very close to the city & ferry - only a 15 min walk away. The hosts were very kind and friendly - they even took us to their cellar to try delicious homemade wines! And the view from the apartment to the sea was so amazing! We will be back! 😍

NetherlandsThe apartment was not particularly cozy.
Everything you’ll need for a short stay is available. Kitchen with most kitchenware, a stove and a microwave. A bathroom with a simple shower. There is a beach view, but you have to cross a street to get there. It’s only a very short walk to the beach, Madalena is 15 minutes away.

PolandThe staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was very clean, well equipped kitchen, hot water, everything you need is there. I also liked the location, it's by the coastline so you can enjoy the beautiful view. If you are lucky you can also see Pico - this is something very special! If I go to Pico island again, I will certainly check if Apartamentos Oliveira is available.
