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.).

GermanyDon't trust google maps to guide you there, it is impossible. Ask Linda, who is very kind and will help directly. Very tall people might find the bed in one of the bedrooms a bit short, but the other 2 double beds are long enough.
The house was ideal for us, 3 adults, as we could have one bedroom each. That way there was enough space in the bedrooms, with double occupancy it might have been a bit of a squeeze. For a family of 5 or 6 it would also be fine. The house is spacious and has a very nice seasoned, lived-in, and somehow British touch, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, where the family of the landlady had lived in for many decades and really made it a very comfortable home. It is well equipped, with plenty of dishes, plates and glasses, etc. as you can only find in a house that was really lived in, and not just done up on a small budget for rental. The house is airy and dry, which is not an easy accomplishment on this island, especially in autumn. There is plenty of space in the kitchen, the dining area, the sitting room, and very importantly also on the various terraces all around the house. The house is situated in a nice garden with interesting plants and which is still nicely maintained. The location is beautiful. Not easy to find on your own, so you should take the offer of the landlady to lead you there. Once found, access is easy, also the parking. It is very quiet all around, just a few animals in the early morning, no noise from neighbors or any traffic. Also, there is a nice view down onto the ocean, so you immediately get the feeling that this is a wonderful location for a holiday. Ponta Delgada is not the hub of activity on the island, but it is not very touristy, so nice and calm. Access to most parts of the island are vey easy and quick from here. Therefore an ideal base for all kinds of tours.

United KingdomLoved everything, beds are a small double but didn't bother us. Hard to find at first make sure you get the instructions from Linda!
It was stunning, even better than the photos, full of character, lots of space for a family of 4. Views from every window and terrace, palms in the garden. The kids loved the lizards around the garden, all very exotic coming from Wales! We liked that there was a choice of locations to chose from, dining/living room, breakfast room, different terrace spots and garden. All nice for reading a book or having a drink and cards in the evening. Restaurants and snack bars nearby were good (just need to work out opening hours!). Fab outdoor pool in Ponta Delgada which the kids loved. Super quiet and relaxing, very little traffic in Ponta Delgada Loved the character of the house and furnishings, felt authentic, well equipped and restful. Saw comments about electricity and hot water but we had no issues, the shower was great and plenty of hot water for all the family. We didn't have a car the first two days and just enjoyed the village pool and local places to eat and drink. The cafe at the pool does good food and great coffee. Food at As Pedras on the hill was really tasty, great value and stunning views. Good burgers and pizza at Kare's Cafe and Baixos also did lovely food. The supermarket is a short walk and well stocked. We had a hire car delivered to the property by This is Madeira for part of our stay and loved the rock pools at Porto Moniz and the beach at Seixal. It's easy to get around the island from Ponta Delgada and the roads were good. We did 2 nights in Funchal before arriving and while Funchal is amazing this house in Ponta Delgada was much more relaxing and peaceful. The weather even in November was lovely and warm and the house was always a really pleasant temperature even without aircon. Would highly recommend!

PolandWorth to think about grill and some sun beds. WiFi doesn't work well. Unfortunately there are no available accesses to the nearest beach due to the detached cliff.
Excellent house with great kitchen equipment, calm area with beautifill ocean view, close to the grocery store. Rooms with very comfortable beds, great common leaving room to spend time together if weather is not great. Beautifull garden, nice terrace to sit outside. Location is wrong settled in Google maps but the host guide us how to drive with any problems (+ free parking spot outside the house)

LithuaniaDouble beds are really small according to standards of these times. This was the only struggle I had.
All as you would expect from country house. Not modern, but clean, silent in good location with nice view.

PolandThe only thing that marred our stay was the host's manner of communication. We were two hours late from the planned arrival time - it's an island, and unexpected things can happen on an island. Nevertheless, this circumstance irritated the host the most, which couldn't help but affect our interaction. She responded condescendingly and impatiently to some of our questions.
A great place, an excellent city. Very quiet and peaceful. If you've rented a car, you'll love this place. Lush greenery surrounds the house, and there's a splendid view of the sea. The house appears to be of an older style, which justifies the touch of time that you can feel in the faint scent of antiquity. A couple of small shops are in close proximity. Apart from that, I would recommend it

PolandThe huge problem was the water pressure. It was almost impossible to have hot water in the shower (maybe one person out of 4 could have one warm shower during a 3-nights stay). Also the cold water pressure in the shower was very very bad. Similarly in the kitchen - usually no hot water (and if it was available it was boiling hot) although the pressure of cold water was a bit better than in the shower. Another problem is that the bedrooms are very small - if you travel with a big suitcase there is no space to open it in the bedroom.
Beautiful views from the terrace, nice garden, great mattress in a baby bed
