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.).

RomaniaI would have liked the towels to be changed at least once, but it was not a problem. The internet speed is not that good and sometimes we have issues with the wi-fi signal.
The property is situated in a really quiet place, we liked it. If you want night life this isn't the right place to be. It was easy to collect the key, and the information was clear. The parking space is available in the front of the building, parking fees apply from 09-17, but parking is free the rest of the day and on weekends. Free street parking is available on the other side of the building. The room was clean and equipped with a toaster, pots and pans, a kettle, a microwave, a coffee machine, and so on. The room service isn't free.

Czech RepublicPolice station under apartments is good, but also not good due to all night working. When is raining and is 14°C outside, then inside is cold and high humudity without chance to heating the room and then the floor is really cold. Mountain view is also question..
Clean apartment room. Good as base for trips. Nice sand beach in the town. Town is close to Rabacal cottage, 25 Fontes and Risco waterfalls.

IrelandOur apartment was right above and overlooked the local police station. So this was sometimes noisy at night. And not exactly a great holiday view when having your meals or relaxing on the balcony. So we didn’t like this. Otherwise, it was excellent and the staff were first class.
Close to Calheta, without being in the thick of things. Spacious bedroom/living area. Pretty good kitchen with quite a bit of what you’d need for self-catering. And a good functional shower room for a couple. We liked the idea of the balcony to eat our meals (this was the only place with a table to eat at)….

NetherlandsThe apartment did not look nice, nor was it cosy with hard white lights. It was fine as we were not home that often. It is also pretty high up the mountains, so a walk back from the beach is hard.
The apartment had everything for your basic needs, including towels and a good working kitchen.

United KingdomThere was really no dining table but that wasn't a big problem as we sat on the couch and used the coffee table. There's not much natural light into the apartment.
Very clean and spacious apartment, Wi-Fi worked well and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen had all the basics and there was plenty hot water for the shower. Quiet location, parking available in front of the apartment. Very friendly welcome and easy check-in and check-out.

Poland-as others mentioned, mosquitos bite you at night, there should be some protection installed -noises from the street can be disturbing sometimes
-good location: one can either go to the beach (uphill on the way back) or hike straight to the mountains (fontes&risco levadas, paul da serra plateau, fragnant eucalyptus forests) -spacious place with everything needed for stay

Czech RepublicYou have to buy your own toilet paper. We stayed at the apartment for 6 days (2 people) and we were given only one toilet paper for the entire stay. When we contacted the host about it, she told us she wouldn’t give us more and we had to buy our own. Obviously it’s not a big deal, but it’s very unusual and we’ve never had such an experience in multiple hotels/apartments in Europe and in Madeira, and we have been hosts ourselves too. Fortunately we had a motorbike to drive around so driving to the supermarket to get toilet paper was easy, but it would be worse for someone without a vehicle to move around. I wish the host would buy more toilet paper for the guests (a packet only costs 1 euro) as it’s a basic thing to provide and would save some time and effort for guests on vacation. The frying pan is very small and therefore inconvenient to cook in, it would be great if there was a bigger one. No mosquito nets on the windows and lots of mosquitos.
Our plane was 6 hours late so we arrived in the middle of the night and the host sent us instructions for check in, we were very grateful. Local red wine as a welcome gift. Nice balcony to chill on with a view of hills. Very nice supermarket Pingo Doce approximately 7 mins away from the apartment by car, where you can get fresh fish and delicious pastel de nata. City beach near the supermarket. The apartment has some useful amenities such as an electric kettle and a toaster. A few cooking basics such as salt and pepper available.

The apartment is clean, the beds are comfortable and the bathroom functional. The parking is located under the house, if it is not available you can park for a fee. The location is convenient if you have a car, just a few minutes from Calheta. Nélia was very nice and helpful, she let us find the keys despite arriving late at night

SlovakiaWe could only open the windows when we were in the apartment, because there was a terrace around the apartment, which other people also used to access their apartment. A few mosquitoes got into the room. It would need some mosquito repellent. The apartment has few electrical outlets and none at all near the beds. The bathroom door was bumping and blocking one of the electrical outlets.
We found everything we needed in the apartment. It was well equipped and clean. The owner communicated with us very nicely and quickly. We had a view of the mountains. Parking was possible at the back entrance. It was a very comfortable accommodation.

Absolutely, lovely and helpful person! Already on the spot we were met, Neli: throughout the rest she was our guardian angel!.. The apartment itself is very cozy. The location is super convenient! Near-café, shop. To the beach - 5min by car, min 20 walk from the Mountain. Summary: an incredible place, with wonderful people! Love - as for the whole island: at first sight!❤️🌐

Bulgariait's not so close to the beach that it seems to go down to the beach is like 20 minutes but to go back up to the apartment is 40. But after all no one goes to Madeira for the beaches(the mountain is much much more beautiful and better choice)
Very nice and clean big room with a small kitchen box in it. It's close to the mountain and even if you want to walk more you can go to 25 Fontes Levada by foot and trough one of the food tunnels.
