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.).

NetherlandsIf I had to be nitpicky it would be that some of the lights make a light zoom noise when they are turned off, which makes it more difficult to sleep for some people.
Ian is a great guy and very welcoming. Thanks again for the meal 😁 The location is very close to the Funchal city center. The room is spacious and there are enough places to hang out indoors or outside. My room had a huge kitchen with everything I needed.

United KingdomNothing at all...all good 🤗
I liked everything 🤗 Great views, pool, super friendly helpful owner. And one of few places offering a good price as a single traveller. Nice peaceful garden with loungers etc. Honestly just blown away what a gem it was Walk down into the centre takes 20 mins and a bit longer back up. As a keen walker that's fine but may not suit everyone. But there are buses or taxis as required. If you have a car there is free parking across main road in a side street about 50-100m away. Very handy.

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
The apartment was spacious and well-equipped with a beautiful garden to sit in with amazing views of Funchal and the sea. Ian, the owner, was incredibly helpful and friendly providing us with valuable information and offering a pick up and drop off service for the airport. A great place to stay with a local bus service into Funchal.

United KingdomThe walk into Funchal marina isn’t long but a bit steep. It’s very doable and worth it for staying here!
We had an amazing stay at Vista Oceano! Ian and Ciel were very accommodating and friendly and made us feel like we were part of the family. They went above and beyond what we expected from our stay. They gave us advice on when we should do certain hikes and checked the weather for us. They also helped us with our travel to the airport. The apartments were very clean. The pool and garden were very relaxing and we had absolutely no problems or issues.
