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.).

Salome met us on arrival, and had arranged a taxi for us. She was very friendly and explained everything to us about the apartment. Loved everything about the apartment, above all the balcony and view, and the fact the bedroom looked out on the view as well. Nice and quiet, and bus stop just down the road with a regular service to Funchal. Nearby pizza/pasta restaurant was really good.

FinlandIn general we liked the apartment very much, so the following are mostly some hints on how to make the apartment even more perfect :) Parking in the garage requires good skills and nerves - opt for a smaller rent car :) Some stuff in the kitchen could be renewed (e.g. the frying pan). It would be nice to have some leftovers from the previous guests (frying oil, spices, etc.), so that you don't have to buy all the basics (especially relevant for shorter stays). Of course, it's totally up to the host, you can't require that. The price is rather high but the overall benefits of the apartment leave you no choice but to make your peace with it :)
The ocean view was amazing. The location is great. The host is very friendly and helpful. The apartment is clean and comfortable. A reserved parking place makes you life much easier if you rent a car.

United KingdomIt is not as if I didn't like but there is no lift so I struggled a bit to carry a heavy luggage with no help to the second floor. Also, this is only a personal preference but the evening sun could be too strong to enjoy sitting in the balcony, which faces south west with no roof - I needed a shade. If you like to be baked in the sun, then it wouldn't be a problem.
The view from the balcony was superb - it keeps changing all the time and I never got tired of it rain or shine. The location was perfect too, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre but is still within easy reach. Also you can avoid climing up a steep hill at the end of the day! Camara de Lobos is within walking distance as well - all the way through the sea front promenade. Inside the apartment was immaculate and very comfortable too. Overall, a fantastic place to stay.

IrelandThe only point of note is that the shower only has enough hot water for two quick showers.
Excellent apartment in great location with a wonderful host. The apartment has secure underground car parking and is about 4k from Funchal. Its within 10mins walk of the Forum shopping centre which is really convenient. The apartment has wonderful views and is very comfortable.

LatviaIf you like to shower a lot, there is a risk you may run out of hot water, as boiler’s capacity is rather small. No elevator in the house and some noise from the street may also be heard. But all this is really petty compared with a magnificent view from the balcony, already missing it a lot :)
Great cozy appartments with a view from the balcony being one of the major highlights of our trip to Madeira. Large shopping mall is just 5 minutes away on foot, with several nice dining places and promenade nearby. Free parking in the garage below the house was an additional bonus. Appartment had everything necessary for a comfortable stay and the host was very nice and even left us some welcome treats. Thank you!

United KingdomWe throughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful apartment with lovely views of the the ocean & cliffs. The balcony faces the sea with doors out from the living room and bedroom The apartment has recently been completely refurbished with the inclusion of a Dolce Gusto coffee machine! Salomé was at the apartment to hand over the keys, to show us around and to answer any questions we might have. Another plus for us, was that tours pick up from this location. The Forum shopping centre, which is only a ten minute walk away, has a large Pingo Doce supermarket for all your needs. We enjoyed using the lido swimming pools, three all within a 20 minute walk away. Entrance fee to the lido for 2 adults, including sun beds and parasol was €12. We highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Madeira.
