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.).

CanadaNo air conditioning and when it’s hot it’s very uncomfortable. The fans are not enough. Maybe adding air conditioning to the unit would make this a comfortable stay when booking in peak times.
It was big and clean. Balcony was huge with excellent views. We weren’t sure if we were allowed to use the pool area so we didn’t use it. Owners were excellent to deal with.

BelgiumSome typical small things that aren't available in the kitchen: small cutting knives (there are big ones but they aren't that sharp)/peeler/ kitchen towels. Also, we requested (and got) a baby cot. But a baby seat would've been nice. (To be fair we only asked at arrival so it was probably too late to still arrange it.)
Biggest plus was the big terrace with a good view of funchal. But there was also quick and clear communication with the concierge through whatsapp. (Incl. Easy access and drop off of the key). The kitchen is quite well equiped (1.5 sink/Electric furnace with 4 "pits"/oven/microwave/dishwasher/kettle/toaster/... and also soap and dishwasher pods were available. In general the complex is very well maintained and has a pretty pool.

ItalyWe knew that so it is not a structure lack...Funchal is up and down so it is not that easy to reach city center and come back by walking as it is a little bit outside the inner circle of the old town.
Everything worked perfectly! the apartment is nice and clean with a wonderful view and the use of the swimming pool.

United KingdomJust advising the Hills are steep! It's about a 15min walk into town centre which is fine going down, but walking home is a tough one lol, hence after day 3 we opted for a taxi home which was around 6 euros. Worth it! 😂
Lovely view over the city, shop close by just down the hill & across the road from it wee friendly bar ran by Marco. Accommodation was fantastic, had everything you need on a holiday away with family. Fabulous balcony & comfy bed, spotlessly clean. Pool is a great size! Owners are very helpful & quick to respond & went out of their way to ensure we had a good stay. Would 100% return!

United KingdomThe bedroom bed was comfortable but quite noisy - every time my friend was turning side during the night the squeaking noise woken us up. A sofa bed in the living room was missing a few bottom ribs - it wasn't too much of a problem until you forgot and sat at the end of the bed. Shower gel was very poor quality, making the skin and hair feel even more dry especially after swimming in the ocean - this was definitely a bit disappointing.
Overall, the Apartment is specious with all the equipment needed, a big balcony with nice glimpse of the ocean view. Self check-in and approximately 20min walk to the City centre is a big plus. Definitely recommend for a short or longer stay!! :)

The flat exceed my expectations. Located in a newish complex. Everything was clean. Kitchen well equipped for someone who would like to cook. Also washing machine and dishwasher. The balcony generous size, like a terrace with sunbeds, umbrella, table and chairs. Walking distance from town centre. Only inconvenience, way back to flat is uphill. But that's nothing to do with accommodation itself. Taxi coming back from town cost around €5-6

NetherlandsSome photos implicate a pool view, but that is another building on the premises. Our stay was in building 1, across the street. that is also the advertised view from the balcony over the city and port. Location is along busy and steep road, easy stroll downwards into the centre but hard to climb up at night. Noisy from gearing traffic and some overactive barking dogs in the neighboring buildings all night, so we had to close the windows and shutters.
Spacious, well equipped apartment. Clean and modern, large balcony with a pleasant orientation to the sun/shadow, lovely for breakfast and a late evening drink. Gym (paid) and Pool ( free, bur cold) across the street, accessible for residents only with a tag-key. Small mini-market nearby. Also bus stops and parking space.

RomaniaIt was a bit noisy from the street. Personally I like a harder mattress but that is a matter of choice. There is a big door between the bedrooms that might be an advantage for families with small kids but you lose intimacy.

PortugalThere is no access from the gate on that level (it was always closed and only the gym clients could use that gate), so we had to go up the stairs from the level below, which is bad especially when you’re with kids and babies and all that stuff to carry on.
The apartment is great, with a nice terrace. The pool is fine, although there were just a few chairs, not enough for everyone. There is a nice gym for an extra cost in the premises.

NetherlandsShowerhead was broken so couldn't shower. Ants. Neglected. Old cleaning items (broom, garbage bin that was broken, faucet in the kitchen that was loose and fell off). Lead to believe we had a great view of downtown but apartment was in a side building - on tip toe in the farthest hook you could see the sea and city center. It's a complex where most people there live - not vacation - so dogs barking. Next to us every morning at 7 o' clock so on vacation no chance to sleep in. Walls very thin so you heard the neighbors next and above until late in the night.
The apartment itself was rather nice. Large balcony with good balcony furniture. Good sized apartment. Outdated modern style.
