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 KingdomAlas a nearby cockerel meant we got little sleep after 6am. Other than that everything good.
Owner spoke little English but we managed fine. She was very warm and friendly. Nice to sit out in the evening.

FranceBecause this is a rural property, there are roosters next door and, of course, they make noise.
Spacious, clean, fully equipped facility with lovely terrace and mountain views, generous and kind hostess, lovely welcome treat. Rural location with adorable lambs next door. Hostess gave me use of her herb garden. Excellent value for money.

PolandOverall we were absolutely happy to be there, but just a few points to consider: - no dishwasher which is essential when there is a need to save hot water :) - afternoon heating is giving you a comfort in the evening, but hard to get out of the bed in the morning since it’s pretty chilly in the room (applicable only in winter) - humidity is pretty high, there is an air dryer in the apartment that needs to be used
- fantastic owners, willing to help and accommodate you the best, really! A lot of hints what to do provided. - quiet location, far from the roads but still within 30 minutes walk to good supermarket Continente - well equipped kitchen (including special glasses for Madeira wine), we were lacking only dishwasher - really good Wi-Fi quality and speed - spacious rooms with enough sleeping places to choose - barbecue on the terrace with mountain view - private parking space - ability to take some greenery from own garden (salads, herbs, etc)

United KingdomAll was perfect nothing to could improve.
We would give Discovery Apartment 11 out of 10! The location was fantastic, small cul de sac a short walk away from town. There is a nice walk nearby and the studio apartment had everything we needed and more. We did not travel by car and the location was perfect - very short walk- to bus stop and supermarket. We also liked staying in Santana for walks by public bus/taxi that we couldn’t do from Funchal in one day and also nice experience to stay in more rural setting for some days. The hosts were beyond lovely- met us at bus so we could go straight walking, greeted with biscuits and homemade wine, wonderful info for hiking and local area attractions. Very kind hosts and we felt at home. Studio very comfortable and nice to see stars at night from outside patio and pass traditional houses, fields, etc walking into town. We would have stayed longer if we could! Highly recommend this guest house. Thank you for the memories!

Czech RepublicThe studio has a tiny problem with humidity, but I guess it causes by the climate of North Madiera.
Great apartments quite near the centre of Santana and it is a strategic location for trips around East and Centre of Madeira. The studio had everything we needed (full kitchen, bathroom equipment and so on). Host family is friendly and kind, thank you so much! :)
