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 KingdomThe property was perfect other than the shower door has a leak which results in a very wet bathmat.
The apartment is in a superb location as it is close to attractions, restaurants and other amenities. Although it inhabits the city square, it was quiet. The apartment is bright, modern, fresh and well-maintained. It was presented in a very clean and tidy way. Our host, Filipa was professional, courteous, friendly and helpful.

United KingdomGreat location! The apartment is very spacious, comfortable and clean. The view is magical... The kitchen is just what you need (some complimentary olive oil can be nice), great shower and a/c. Good communication and we got local honey cookies and wonderful recommendations on restaurants. There's a lift! We also used the private taxi service they offer from the airport and it was great! Highly recommended!

United KingdomThe only small thing would be the need for more toiletries ie shower gel and shampoo.
Firstly the location right in the center of Funchal but also close to the marina. Secondly the light airy feel of the apartment with all the necessary equipment to make our stay enjoyable. Thirdly the friendly support from our host Fillipa who was on hand to support us during our weeks holiday.

United StatesThe smell of the “Salted Caramel” diffuser in the building entrance was excessive and not pleasant - at least to our noses!
We had a great time at Apartmentos Praça Amarela. We particularly enjoyed: - the warm welcome by Alexandra - the high ceilings, beautiful floors, and tasteful furniture - the well appointed kitchen - the view on the pretty square - how quiet the apartment was - and of course the location in the heart of Funchal with the sea one block away, all bus terminals nearby, and so many good restaurants at our doorstep.

PortugalI almost didn't want to make this review because I want to keep this place hidden!!! The apartment is simply FANTASTIC. Anyone who has ever visited Madeira knows that the accommodations tend to be quite dark and humid. NOT THIS PLACE. This place felt like the sun was just hanging in the living room at all times. Noise was super manageable - remember, you are in the heart of Funchal - and even though during the day the light comes in from all angles, during the evening you can close the shutters entirely to get a cozy atmosphere with the indirect light from within the apartment. We were promptly welcomed by Filipa who reached out to us as soon as we landed and waited for us to arrive. No picking up keys from code-lock boxes. A real person to explain everything about the apartment and to help us in case we needed anything. Filipa also gave us great food recommendations which I have to pass along here! A Mercearia dos Avôs was the most pleasant surprise of all! Authentic Italian cuisine 3 minutes away from the apartment. DON'T BOOK HERE SO I CAN COME BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE 😂 But if you want to have the time of your life in Funchal, please do choose this place.
