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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesEverything was perfect; best stay ever
Everything in this property was exceptional!! You will not find a better location, host, or property for a family or couple vacation to Madeira! The house is modern, clean, and well stocked in the bathrooms and kitchen to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The pool is perfect, the views excellent and breathtaking. The property is the perfect distance to the north beaches or eastern coast. The host is the best we have ever had, she is always available and attentive, adding unexpected touches to make you feel welcome.

United KingdomThis villa is a real delight. It has lovely views of the sea. It is modern and comfortable with a lovely pool and terrace. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. It is also in a great location for touring the island. But the best thing about it is the host who is always available for help, provides some wonderful goodies when you arrive and also during the stay; a perfect personal touch

United KingdomStayed for one week with wife and son and can’t fault a thing. The hosts, Fatima, was so friendly and helpful. Casa Georgina was impeccable, very clean, comfortable and everything you could possibly need was there. Great outdoor space with a nice pool, private car park, a garage leading into the house and a fantastic view. I would give it more than 5 stars if possible. I do highly recommend.

United KingdomNothing could have been better. It was superb.
Our host was exceptional; superb communication and nothing was too much trouble. Fatima went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and supportive during our stay. It is very quiet and peaceful. The apartment was well equipped throughout. The kitchen had everything you could need to cook and prepare meals. They even had tupperware to store food and use for snacks on excursions. The bed was really comfortable, we slept so well. The outdoor space with pool, loungers and dining furniture was superb with spectacular views of the Atlantic ocean. The pool area has been cleverly designed to make it feel really private. It was a luxury to have this outdoor space extending from the beautiful interior. The private garage beneath the apartment was a total bonus, with washing machine and drying racks, which came in handy as we were traveling with a toddler. Our host provided a travel cot and high chair for our child including bedding! Fatima's hospitality was exceptional. She was really attentive and generous with complimentary items on our arrival and departure. The apartment has been well designed and styled to a very high standard. The attention to detail was excellent. We highly recommend this beautiful home for anyone travelling to Madeira. It was a joy to come home to every day.

The house and garden are in excellent condition, very clean and tidy. All the supplies are well thought off, you literally have everything you need for short stay: bath supplies, washing liquid, dishwasher tablets, which is not always the case. The house is a good size, beds are very comfy. I specifically want to thank Fatima for her kid reception and care during our stay

Fatima was a wonderful host. She met us to check in and was always quick to respond to any questions. The property is at the top of the hill from Calheta so you will want a car to get around and also down to the town where there are some nice waterfront restaurants and a supermarket. The villa was well stocked, and it was nice being able to drive the car in to the property and walk up the steps. The pool isn't heated and so due to the time of year it was too cold to use, but we sunbathed on the patio when the sun was out. Maybe in future the host might consider a hot tub or heating the pool (when energy costs are down!). The place was so nice to relax in either for the day, or after a day of hiking. We also took an excellent dolphin watching trip from Calheta on one of the days too. The drive is about 30min from Funchal, and just under an hour to the airport. Several of the best rated Levada walks are within 20min drive (you will not want to walk, the trip to the top of the island is very steep!!).The villa is just like the pictures, the stay was very comfortable and Fatima treated us so well.

United StatesCan't even think of anything!!!! The beds are a bit harder than ones we used to....but this is just a personal preference
The property , the view from it & sunsets are breathtaking....House has everything ( and even more) one needs for a comfortable stay.....however, what makes the stay so memorable is the host Fatima! The very thoughtful small ( and not so small) tokens of hospitality were waiting for us on the arrival...local wine, sweets & other treats....not a day passed by without Fatima checking on us if we need/would like anything....we had a problem with the rental car, so Fatima engaged all her local resources ( at 10 at night!!) ..to ensure it was safe for us to drive the car to the shop.....Portuguese people in general are very warm & caring an d Fatima is an extraordinary example of this...Absolutely will return!

LatviaWe liked everything.
The house and the host Fatima was absolutely gorgeous! She welcomed us so warm: with wine and cake and snacks, etc. and she did take such a care of us, if anything we needed she helped out immediately. And the house is so beautiful, all white inside out, clean, well equiped, cute ascetic interior. The pool eas perfect. The view - fantastic. It was very silent neiborhood. Beds and pilliws were perfect, we slept very well every night. children (4 and 6 y.o.) also really enjoyed the house and it was compleately safe for them- all the gates were locked and the backyard with nice lawn. we felt very private, could sunbathing privately. The house we rate with 10 of 10 and even big extra “+”. Would definately stay there again. :)

Czech RepublicThere is nothing to complain about Georgina.
We were absolutely amazed at how beautiful and comfortably equipped the house we rented was. I have to say that we have already been to many places, but we liked Casa Georgina the most. The owner was very nice and really pampered us. I asked about the grill, which was not part of the equipment, and Ms. Fatima immediately got it. Beautiful terrace overlooking the ocean and pool. An absolutely exceptional property for rent.

The host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, from snacks at our arrival, to recommendations for restaurants, help and advice when we had questions and simply caring about our experience on the island and making us feel at home.
