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.).

PortugalThere’s no room service and the pool bar isn’t good (in therms of drinks), but that’s not something that can ruin your stay. Also, Google navigator sent us to the back of the hotel, very inconvenient road and no hotel access. Make sure, you’ll drive to the lower level of the hotel, where parking and the elevator are.
I was looking forward to staying at this place - and It didn’t disappoint me! Stylish, modern, great architecture perfectly built-in the surrounding nature, featuring cool colorful details. The room was great, the view - amazing! I liked the outdoor pool a lot, as well as hot tub with 180* view on the ocean. I also spotted try yoga studio there - will try next time. The staff is very friendly and helpful, check-in and checkout are quick and smooth. The breakfast is amazing, featuring buffet and menu.

SwitzerlandAlthough in the meantime the hotel is so well known & always fully booked, the staff is still amazing friendly & takes time for a small chat. What I like most is the trust they bring towards the guests, no strict rules like pool opening hours & it‘s always quiet, people do not abuse it. Also the honesty bar where it is possible to take out in trust is great! The hotel is of high quality but not new any more & for me it‘s sympathetic that it doesn’t shine & glance in luxury, it‘s still familiar, beautiful garden & peace. I love this place!

United KingdomThe pool, although heated, was quite cool but you soon got used to it. The indoor pool was rather small.
The views of the sea and the town are beautiful. As there is a lift and stairs, it is easy to walk down the Ponto da Sol. The breakfast in the morning was excellent offering a great range of food. The hotel offered transport to a selection of levada walks giving you a map of the route. They also took us to the airport free of charge as we had stayed 5 days.

United KingdomCar park fills up very quickly and won’t fit larger cars (is essentially a bit of road up a hill) so be prepared to park up a hill and walk a little. Apart from this no issues!
Beautiful location, great staff and food. Especially the hospitality staff - 10/10!! It was perfect for our 5 night stay, easily connected to the rest of the island and the perfect place to come back to and unwind after a full day of activities. Breakfast was excellent, cooked breakfast ordered via a menu to reduce waste, good selection of breads, ham and fruit to complement. Rooms were decent sized with comfy beds and black out curtains. Dinner was AMAZING, we ate in the hotel 3/5 nights as we wanted to try more dishes. Well priced at 30€ for two courses, which included steak, duck, lamb, scallops - very good quality! Pool was gorgeous despite not being able to use much as was cold, we had a few massages which were very enjoyable.

United KingdomThe only negative aspect would be the parking, as it’s quite tight, but it’s a minor thing and something that is common on the island.
The views of the sea and the coast from the rooms and the bar areas, was beautiful. The hotel has a very relaxed atmosphere which really helped me to switch off.

United KingdomDoesn’t bother me personally, but if some details like garden cleaning were fine-tuned, I am sure this would be a five star hotel.
Great location, staff, architecture- overall a place with a great amount of élan.

United KingdomParking was the main issue as there was no real car park, so alot of street parking under cliff edges which puts you on edge when you have a hire car. Pool table was only in use during the middle of the day when most people would be out of the hotel anyway.
Breakfast was unbelievable, such a good selection of foods. Great location and always able to get some sun, no matter the weather. Room was spacious and had a nice view up the island. Nice bar area where you can relax and wide choice of cocktails and beers. Restaurant was good value and food was lovely.

United KingdomThe shower tends to flood the bathroom so you have to ensure the bathmat is in the right place. Also, would be nice to have a bottle of water in the room upon first arrival - we bought some from the supermarket.
Everything - from the stunning views from the room, the incredibly comfy and big bed, the infinity pool, the sauna and Turkish bath, the breakfast, the bar, the Friday party, the sunset views, the airport transfer, the transfer to Funchal, the welcoming and at all times helpful staff. We had a dreamy holiday.
