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.).

HungaryThe absence of blackout curtains in the kitchen is unusual
The location is very good, apartment number 1 is spacious, clean and well equipped. The windows face the pedestrian street, so it is a bit noisy because of the restaurants. Getting in is easy, Lisa sends the necessary information before arrival.

United KingdomThe street outside is noisy at night because it is cobbled and the bars/restaurants have the rubbish collected etc. Because of this and a few insects that liked the taste of us, we couldn't leave the window open overnight and the apartment doesn't have any air conditioning so it was very warm, even out of season.
The apartment in excellently situated to explore Funchal and a great base for Madeira in general. It has everything you need for self catering and was nice and clean.

NorwayI missed a sea view, but that is just on ME and not the property!
Check-in very easy, keybox outside and procedure very well explained by Lisa. The apartment was very well located centrally in "classic" Funchal, short walking distances everywhere. The street is busy, but the apartment was facing the back yard which was very quiet, just a few offices across which was only populated workdays (and -hours). Good size bathroom, bedroom and kitchen/living room. Kitchen well equipped for cooking food. Great wifi and tv with tons of channels. Two small balconies in my flat (I was in flat no. 2, out of 4 total, 2 on the 1st floor and 2 on the 2nd). Very comfortable bed, even the pillows were perfect (not always the case). Perfect base for a stay in Funchal for a single person or couple (if with children there is a sofabed in the living room). Recommended.

IndiaOn hot days, one needs to use the fan that comes with the room which was a bit difficult to handle.The head of the fan always tilted back beyond a certain angle and needs repair may be.
The place is very comfortable and should be preferred for its location at the heart of the city. I had booked several day tours with pick up and drop off included and the apartment was situated only 500m from the pick up points. There are also several restaurants and shops (groceries, souvenirs, medical) in the neighborhood making it very convenient. The room comes with washing machine and a drying rack which was useful for washing clothes when staying for more number of days. Bathroom and the kitchen were very clean and the bed was comfortable. A really good place to stay for tourists. :) Also the beach is at a 10 mins walking distance! :)

United KingdomPre arrival arrangements and help from Lisa made our first day work really well. The 2nd floor apartment was very clean, comfy and well equipped for a short stay. There was a pleasant balcony facing the street, the Rue da Carreira, which at that point is mainly cafes and restaurants and so noise from there was not a problem. The apartments location was good. In the 'old part' of town its just a few minutes to the squares, with shops and more restaurants and then the sea front and all of the buses.

The location is great! Lisa who oversees the apartment was very helpful. The sofa bed was not too comfortable but it was alright. Everything else was perfect. I would certainly recommend the apartment unless someone wants something luxurious. I liked the fact that it was also near the busses both local and long distance since we did not rent a car

Italywe stayed in apartment 3, and loved the terrace. however, since the apartment is on a busy street, (not car traffic, just many restaurants and bars) there was a bit of noise in the night. it didn’t bother us particularly, but it’s something to consider. also, the bed was not very comfortable.
apartment is centrally located and close to all main Funchal attractions and bus stops. the price is also great. the host was very easy to contact and her response rate was very fast. the apartment has everything you need, including a washing machine.

United KingdomThe bed was not comfy at all, maybe it’s worth buying a mattress topper to make it a bit softer and also to cover the gap as the double bed was two singles pushed together. Also the smell from the drains in the bathroom was not pleasant but didn’t bother us that much as we spent our days mostly outside. And just a weird issue with the apartment keys which got stuck in the door, however, that was resolved very quickly with the help from the host and a waiter from the restaurant next to us.
Amazing location, great host who was easy to contact. Really good price!

United KingdomCommunication was sub optimal - text from manager would have worked better via Booking.com App. A bit mean with toilet rolls and pay extra for towels to be changed in less than a week. Our apartment was a little noisy early morning.
This apartment is on a pedestrian street in the centre of Funchal. Loads of restaurants within one minute. I recommend Xaraham pizzeria about 150m to the east. We had number 1 apartment which was overlooking the street. Good enough facilities re. fridge, kitchen, washing machine, etc. Major shopping centre within 2 minutes walk.
