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...).

LuxembourgThey have limit parking spots and if you are not lucky you don't get space. Also the rooms have transparent landing door to the bathrooms giving cero privacy to the people in the room while someone is in the toilet. Also the room doesn't have any extra in the bathroom like cream or extras that other 4 star hotels have
The breakfast was amazing... And the staff really nice. And the view from the room was beautiful.

United KingdomMy partner and I are vegan and felt there wasn't a huge amount for us at breakfast, after a long day hiking we also just wanted to stay in the hotel one evening for food but there was no vegan option on room service and the restaurant buffet was limited so we ended up getting a food delivery to the hotel instead. Some extra toiletries in the room would've been a nice touch given it is a four star hotel.
Generous sized room with nice decor, very clean and comfortable. Pool area is lovely with beautiful views of the sea and very peaceful, we made use of the Galo Mar spa during our stay which was also a great bonus A few restaurants and shops around the area. Lots of choice at breakfast buffet if you aren't vegan like ourselves but overall we loved our stay.

SwitzerlandNothing. Everything was perfect.
The hotel was absolutely perfect. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the spa with the sauna was excellent and we loved that we could use the spa of sentido galomar (the hotel beside uss) as well. The breakfast was soooo delicious and there was a hughe buffet with fresh smoothies, fruits and everything you need. You also had vegan options as soja jogurt. To the parking situation: we always had a parking slot. And it didn't bother us to pay 40 cent/hour for the parking. That is so cheap and you have the slots right in front of your hotel room.

Everything is new, clean, the location is close to airport and Funchal. They also have a few free parkings. We spent our honeymoon there. Awesome activities (gym, pool, sauna, poncha classes). The view is breathtaking, sunrise from the room. Dont think, just book.

AustriaParking can be a nightmare, but we got lucky each time to find something nearby. Also, we had ants in the bathroom that would not seem to go away, but they stuck to their corner of the bathroom so we were fine sharing.
There was a huge breakfast selection and it was delicious every day! The bed was comfortable, the views were beautiful, and the staff were helpful and welcoming. We recommend eating at the Atlantis Restaurant at Galomar because the fish is fresh every day and so good.

SwitzerlandThe buffet could have been more diverse. Espacially dinner was not really good. We only ate there once but there are some restaurants around the hotel.
The sport offer was huge! From Zumba to Spinning, everyone will find something. Also the staff was super friendly and helpful. Just next to the hotel is an agency where you can book biking and hiking tours, which is very practical because the tours just start next to the hotel.

CanadaThe parking was kind of a pain. Good thing we usually left early in the morning. Most of the time we only got street parking which was free 7pm-8am. We ate breakfast early and was out by 8 am otherwise you have to pay for parking. There were a few spots that were free but almost impossible to get. Many of the rooms looked like they had good views. We didn't book in those rooms and got a really bad garden view that didn't look like anything much.
The hotel was beautiful. The pool and the sun lounging area had beautiful views of the ocean. Breakfast was really good. Nice workout facilities. I found the location good. Just away enough to be out of crazy Funchal business and close to a lot of the attractions. There were a few good restaurants a few minute walk from the hotel.

United KingdomI wish there was a water fountain for drinking water in the hotel. The room would also benefit from slippers, robe and some basic toiletries. The food that we pre-ordered for lunch as a group was below expectations - the bowls were very expensive, barely had any ingredients and didn't taste good.
Beautiful hotel in Canico village, attentive staff, very rich and delicious buffet breakfast, the sister hotel Galomar has great outdoor 'natural' pool area for swimming. My room was huge and very comfortable. The yoga room is fantastic and the sunrise and sunset views from the hotel are very nice.

Switzerland- the Parking situation is really not good to be honest. There are blue zones around the hotel, but you need go pay. It‘s not about paying, but you can‘t find any. Sometimes we had to park a bit far away. I would expect such a large hotel to provide some kind of parking. On Madeira, the most visitors are getting a car to get around the island. Be careful in the blue zones! Already after half an hour, you could receive a ticket if you don‘t pay!
- the breakfast was really, really good. I didn‘t expect it to be so good. Yes it is a buffet, but really everything you would want in a good quality, and also clean. Really to enjoy. - breakfast was possible on the terasse, which was beautiful. - nice location, very near to the sea. Also, Canico is a good place to be, if you don‘t need or want Funchal. To Funchal it‘s 10-15 min. by car. - convenient pool and also access to the sea unteneath the hotel - clean - the room was probably a bit bigger than average - very nice staff, everybody is kind - all in all, a good decision and I would recommend to everybody, if you don‘t want to stay in Funchal
