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 Kingdom-
A charming and welcoming place for those whose emphasis is on nature rather than luxury. The swimming pool was big enough to swim in circles :) The blooming gardens were a real pleasure and the scenery was fantastic. Exceptionally clean with all we needed. The access by car was a little challenging but became part of the charm of Casas Tipicas Lovely helpful and welcoming hosts. Thank you to Leo and Amnon

United KingdomThe water pressure in the shower is a bit low, but I've had worse.
This is the best place ever. The views are breathtaking and the garden is beautiful. There's a small pool which is very clean and surrounded by amazing scenery. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. We had most of our meals at the table outside, the weather was brilliant most of the time- even in February. The owner Amnon was lovely and gave us some great tips for things to do. There are two levada walks that start only a few minutes away- we enjoyed them so much that we did both of them twice. Driving to the property was quite an experience the first time as it is so narrow and steep, but you get used to it quite quickly. We're definitely hoping to be back one day.

LithuaniaThat I had to do check out 😀
Wonderful and simply place with amazing view to the mountains and the ocean from windows and terrace. Grill zone was very useful for us. I found some comments about very steep road. I rented D cattegory car (VW T-Rock) and we didn't have any problems. And also our neighbours was arrived with very small car like Fiat Panda etc. So everything was fine and mountains and the ocean view + grill zone redeems the steep road. Highly recommended. The price is very competitive

PolandPlease note, that in the 4-person house the bathroom is accessed through the bedroom which was a bit uncomfortable, but didn't significantly affect our stay.
Really great, lovely hosts. Amazing location and an unearthly beautiful view. A very cosy place to stay, equipped with everything you might need. There is a really nice garden and a small, clean swimming pool. There is also a local shop/cafe/bar within a 5-minute walk. I totally recommend this place!

United KingdomMadeira is famous for its narrow lanes and this was no exception. To access the property we would drive down our lane as slowly as possible with my wife leaning out of the window on her side of the car, calling out distance from the various water gullys and stone walls. To be fair I was driving a left hand drive vehicle which I am not used to, and the locals drove down the lane at much faster speeds. The only other thing we did not like was beyond the owners control. Noise carries in such an open and quiet area and there was a JCB with a jack hammer attached working non-stop down in the valley. Not a problem when in the room or indeed touring the Island but we deliberately chose Casas Tipicas for its lovely gardens to sit, relax and sunbathe. Even on Saturday when we hoped he would not be working, he was, He is bound to stop at lunch time! He didn,t. 2pm, 3pm 4pm 5pm, 6pm, on he went and finally stopped at 7pm. I even tried ear plugs laid in the garden but that noise got inside your head. We would love to stay at Casa Tipica again but I would ask the question about rock drilling before I did.
The views from the property were superb, as we turned the corner of the building to see the view for the first time we both went "Wow" The gardens were glorious in colour from all the flowers. Apartment well equipped with everything we needed. Two levada walks which you could walk to within two minutes and another, just five minute drive a way. Despite its out of the way location it was around a five minute deive to Ribeira Brava town centre with all the shops. Fifteen minute drive to Calheta sandy beach.
