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 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 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 StatesIt was a minor inconvenience to have to call and wait for a security guard to drive over to let us in when we arrived (at the scheduled time). My biggest concern is that the hotel's Booking .com account had been hacked, and all of us received multiple messages -- IN our booking.com chat window with the hotel -- attempting to steal credit card information. The message was that we needed to supply a credit card to complete the reservation (which had already been done). But because it came through the site, at least one of us (me) fell for it, and I had to cancel my card promptly. I reported this to the hotel and booking.com weeks before we traveled, and we still got the phishing messages again, as late as a few days before we traveled. I don't know where the breakdown occurred, but I honestly don't intend to use booking.com again. There is clearly some kind of security problem.
Comfortable room, if a bit cramped for two people who aren't partners. Very nice balcony. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for exploring Machico, a very easy walk to the beach and restaurants.

LithuaniaBreakfast had a very poor choice of food and low-quality/cheap products (like cheese, fruits, etc.) We choose this hotel for good reviews about breakfast but the reality was very disappointing.
Very good location (in the center of town and close to the airport), spacious and cozy rooms, and helpful staff.

MozambiqueThe rooms aren’t aesthetically appealing.
It’s very close to the airport, so it works for a 1 night stay. Also, there is a beach and a few restaurants nearby. The hotel facilities themselves are pretty basic, but it serves the purpose.

United KingdomThe location was closer to the airport than I had imagined which meant there quite a few planes coming in and out. There is also no pools of water nearby, except for an imported sand beach with wave breakers in walking distance... not really comparable to the back sand volcanic beaches you can find in the north west side of the island.
Staff were friendly and accommodating to our needs e.g., providing us with a kettle on request. The breakfast was really good too. Also there's a lovely man named Carlos across from the hotel who deals in car rentals, and provides parking as well as great deals. Lastly, there's lots of local amenities and some superb restruants just a stones throw away.

Terrific location a block from the beach, and the town of Machico itself was a very pleasant surprise: scenic, lots of great eateries, pristine clean, and a wonderful beach.

United StatesThe hotel is in need of a serious renovation rooms-wise. I understand that many of the hotels by the beach do not have air conditioning, however a fan is a must? At the very least a ceiling fan in each room is needed. The furniture and bathroom features are outdated as well.
The location of the hotel is exceptional! A block away from the beach, what else could one want? The last that checked us in was super friendly, nice and helpful with all our needs and questions.

United StatesThere is no air conditioning. The decor is run down and outdated. We were shamed for asking for a corkscrew, because the owner didn’t want us to spill wine on the old stained carpet.
There weren’t a lot of options. The breakfast was decent.

CanadaNew carpet would improve the aesthetic of the room due to its staining however did present as clean.
The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the main area. The staff were very kind, friendly and helpful. Martha became aware we were checking out early to go to airport and offered a box breakfast for us. The room was simple yet clean with a beautiful bathroom! I enjoyed a luxury soak in the reclining tub. The water pressure was perfect for the shower.
