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.).

The location was great, in the Old Town and a short walk away from the Santa Maria Street (lots of lovely restaurants and painted doors there), the old fort, the beach and the cable car (once you have worked out the short cut). Apartment was clean, spacious and tidy. View from balcony was good. WIFI was brilliant. There is a great roof terrace where you can swim, sunbathe and relax. Try and see if you can get one of the top flats as you get an even better view out to sea.

United KingdomThe coffee maker was a little eratic to switch on and off and also did not pour well and electric outlets were a little awkward.
The location is just as described with a lovely seafront cafe just a 2 minute walk and 5 minute walk into the old town for all the craft shops and restaurants.

PolandSome evenings were a bit loud because of the music from a nearby bar, but fortunately the windows in the apartment were really soundproof.
We got upgraded and warmly welcomed by the host Sarah, so it was a great beginning of the whole stay there😊. There was a parking lot on the property. Very clean, spacious and it's got all you need in case you want to cook your own meals. The balcony with the view of the sea. On the roof there was a private swimming pool which made our leisure time even better.

United StatesProperty is in an incredible location!!! The staff member Sarah that met us at the place went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed before leaving us to tool around! I didn’t have a single complaint, old town Funchal is the best part of the city. Easy to get around without a car and there are a few small groceries that are near.

SlovakiaSituated close to the Funchal city center and just few steps from the coffee bar at the sea (perfect for morning coffee as well as for evening drinks) this apartment offers all you need for comfortable stay. It is spacious and perfectly clean. Parking is available in the private garage in the building next to the apartment where there is also swimming pool to the disposal of the clients. Hopefully we will have the chance to use it again while visiting Madeira for longer time and then visit also the beach under the mentioned coffee bar.

Location right by old town and a million fabulous restaurants. Exceptional service. If you messaged about the slightest thing they had someone in the area to sort it immediately. We got upgraded to an incredible apartment with a balcony and rooftop terrace with a pool, so I can’t comment on the accommodation we booked, but I’m sure it was also excellent.
