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 StatesNoise outside - I like my window open. Swimming pool area too crowded sometimes.
Very modern hotel. Very clean. There was no view from my window, really, but I booked the room for the location, so it did not bother me. There was a noise outside day and night, but it was only a problem if the window was open. Great rooftop swimming pool. I would definitely book this hotel again.

United KingdomWe had to swap a pillow as it had black marks on it. The floor had bits on it which was noted when walking around barefoot. However, we were allowed to check in earlier than we expected, so maybe the room was turned around fast. Pump dispenser for shower gel (attached to wall) was loose and eventually dropped off after a couple of showers by myself and my friend also sharing the room. This was fixed promptly though.
Lovely hotel, great location. The terrace and pool are a nice place to spend an afternoon with a fab city view. The breakfast was fantastic!

United KingdomSometimes noise in the room in the evenings from the side streets restaurants, but I guess that’s the case with the central location of the hotel.
Excellent facilities and services, perfect location to explore the town and catch different buses to different attractions. Beautiful hotel, the room was spacious and very clean. Great toiletries, bath robes, slippers, even toothbrushes. Breakfast was perfectly varied, lots of choices and great coffee. The rooftop pool has excellent views of the old town and the marina.

United StatesOn apple maps it was still hard to find hotel and my husband had to drive around while I found the hotel and where to park. Once that was figured out everything was great. I think I would explain that a little more clear when making the reservation.
Room was very beautiful and comfortable. Loved the fluffy robes and beautiful pool and the fantastic breakfast. It was very easy to walk to the parking garage, cable car, shopping and all of the restaurants downtown.

United KingdomOur room was located above a noisy bar on the street outside, which stayed open until 4am. We had earplugs in and the window was closed but it was so loud we couldn't sleep. Have stayed in this hotel in the past and enjoyed our stay then and didn't have a noise problem - I guess it's pot luck which room you are assigned, so just be wary you may be on the noisy street side of the hotel!
Location was great and the room was very clean with a comfortable bed. Plenty of choice at breakfast. Hotel staff polite and helpful.

United KingdomWe managed fine , our room was near the restaurants end , but if you are a light sleeper-Can be very noisy as it is in the centre of Funchal when bed room windows open, and even when windows closed -with bars and restaurants closing time and opening time , Bins being emptying ….
Modern hotel in the heart of Funchal , walking distance to the main centre of old town, harbour and gardens , in particular to our rum festival Great view from roof top bar of the harbour and Funchal hills and centre- even though the pool was on a small side . We did not mind … Very helpful staff at reception Excellent choices of breakfast and omelette station with a friendly chef The bed was the most comfortable one I have stayed in a hotel too

United StatesParking is offsite about 6 blocks away. More clarity is needed from staff about how to park at hotel to drop off luggage and where to eventually park. For example, provide address or name of ramp. Note, M-Th the ramp is not 24 hours so you cannot get your car out before 6 AM.
Location and quality of hotel. We had a king room that overlooked the back side of hotel. Although we had read that some quests experienced loud noises from outside the hotel that was not our experience. We had two great night sleeps on a weekend.
