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 KingdomI am probably in the minority but I didn’t like the app access door system. For me holidays don’t mean taking my phone everywhere and having to make sure you have charge to open doors.
Modern and extremely clean room. Nice sun terrace with plunge pool. Several restaurants near by and in other resorts a few miles away.

HungaryThe apartment was very noisy and the entry was stressful and difficult. I didn't understand why sent me everything in portuguese. When we arrived we didn't have entry code and nothing information, my internet didn't work and we needed to ask help a local people. We wanted go for a walk after dinner, but this village not the best.
The house and the rooms are very unique and comfortable, the pool was very nice. Everything is absolutely clean. The bed was hard, we loved it and there were more pillows! We need car, but this place had parking place. If you like meat you have to try the nearest restaurant - Steakhouse. The Banana Museum was good program and the banana beer and rum is fine.

United KingdomThe bed was rather hard for our liking but this is a personal preference.
Great location for exploring the countryside. The pool was small but well kept and ideal to cool off in. There were three local restaurants all of which served good local meals.

PortugalNot much to say here. The only aspect we could comment on would be parking in the street, which may be hard to find and may require some tight maneuvering. On the other hand, you can find proper parking areas on the main road, within 1-2 minutes walking distance.
Everything is impeccably clean! All the locks are digital and work very well. Our "room" was essentially a full blown apartment, equipped with a kitchen, leaving room, bathroom and bedroom. Everything is beautifully decorated, making you feel comfortable from the start. There are common areas where you can hangout and the heated pool is a wonderful spot to end your day. Congratulations to Juvenal for his fantastic work with Blue House, for his hospitality, and for providing us with a truly remarkable experience! 💙

IrelandNo public transport. If you have not rented a car for your trip you are reliant on taxis because you are situated between two tunnels.
I loved everything about apartment, pool and games room. Very relaxing with some nice restaurants on your doorstep.

NetherlandsI was promised to get the access code of the front door before arrival, but when I arrived I had not received it. After a quick call the very friendly owner came to the apartment himself to help me out. You need to download an app and open the door with this app. For me not a problem, but I can imagine this could be challenging for older people or people who don’t have a smart phone. The door of the room has a different code you had to put in manually. The room only had a fridge. It would be nice to have at least a cup, a plate and some cutlery for a quick breakfast or a wine glass to be able to have a sundowner on the balcony. The fire alarm went off twice but was handled by the owner as well. On my departure day the lift wasn’t working so I had to drag my suitcase from the 2nd floor down while everyone was still asleep.
It was very clean and new. It had a great modern style. Location was perfect, close to restaurants and the beach. Free parking nearby.

ItalyThe bed was hard and extremely uncomfortable. There is no sofa in the lounge area just 2 armchairs which are incredibly uncomfortable and not good to relax on at all. The bathroom has not been designed very well meaning every time you have a shower the room completely floods, even going into the corridor when you open the bathroom door as there is no raised platform or good drainage to stop this happening. As above, this property is quite misleading in its description as it is not in Ponta De Sol, it is on the very outskirts meaning a car is needed to get anywhere, this should be made clear in the property description.
The pool area is very nice and relaxing. The location next to the beach and lovely beachside cafes is good, there is also an excellent banana museum across from the property which I strongly recommend you go to, it was interactive and very informative and the cafe is amazing. We had a lovely patio and the kitchen was stocked with all you might need. Be warned though that this property is not in the centre of Ponta de Sol, it is on the outskirts. You will need to drive to the centre, it's about 5 minutes away. You could walk but it means going through a long tunnel.

LithuaniaA few things were a little strange. Never leave your phone when leaving the house, because you use it to open the lock, I made a mistake on my last day and needed some quick thinking to solve it. The owner or the Blue House employee once walked in the room to give some equipment, while I was there, which was a bit strange but of course they know the code;) My balcony had a small window up in the wall which I understand was the window of my neighbour's restroom. A little noisy in the morning with the dogs barking. However, these small things do not hurt the overall, really nice feeling of staying in Blue House.
The location is perfect to travel around Madeira with a car (I liked the north and the west much more than the east and Funchal's surroundings). Going western of Ponta do Sol, the traffic is very light compared to Ponta do Sol and towards Funchal. In general, no issue with parking. The pool is great to cool off after a day spent hiking. The room was spacious, really enjoyed how much space I had, had some breakfasts in the balcony when it wasn't too cold. In general the room was really clean.

PolandThe main issue with staying there was huge stench of fried steaks and other meats. While it is not Blue House's fault, it still greatly impacts the quality of the stay here... Another issue I can point is shower cabin that is semi-open and very shallow which makes is almost impossible not to flood a bathroom a little every time you take a shower.
The apartament was great! Perfect for both relax and working from there. The water in pool was always warn, even at night, and the room was well equipped (for 2 people). The location is okay, but renting a car is a must if you plan to see the island from there.
