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.).

GermanyThe Hotel does not really justify a 5 star rating. It is more a 4 star in our opinion.
The helpfulness and friendliness of the Hotel staff. The Hotel policy of not having plastic bottles was also appreciated.

United StatesThe indoor heated pool was only heated to 27 degrees C so it was really cold, especially for a child. This was a big disappointment as the outdoor pools were also too cold to use. The beds are also incredibly hard, and old pipes make a loud screeching sound each time toilets are flushed. The Kids Club Schedule that was posted wasn’t really followed.
The staff was very attentive, helpful and kind. The views are beautiful.

United KingdomThere was no door to the toilet in our room - it was open plan so no proper privacy. The decor in the room was not good in places. The a la carte restaurants had limited menus and the decor was very tatty. The gluten free options were very limited and I got tired of just eating fish all the time.
The gardens are very pretty. The main public rooms are attractive. The staff are efficient. The pool area is nice. As it was all inclusive there were always plenty of snacks and drinks available.

LatviaThe room was a bit worn out and no one really informs you about the possibilities in the hotel so it is kinda hard to navigate and plan your stay.
A wide choice for cocktails and foods that are included in the price. Many things to keep you entertained.

FranceToo hot in the restaurant and other shared places. There is no AC there so it’s hard to stay in there. You end up sweating during the lunch/dinner.
Everything is clean, the restaurant is awesome with a lot of choice and quality. The bar is very well equipped. Staff very friendly.

PortugalDinner buffet was not so great,not much variety for 5* hotel. Mopping of floors with lots of water by pool done at 9h30 to 10h00, when pools open at 9h00, could not sit, had to wait till it was done, while we were waiting,my child starting playing around and slipped on soap and water,hence why this should be done before pool opens! The hotel rooms need attention, lots of maintenance needed, toliet leaking & toliet seat sliding off the floor (changed rooms). The carpets are so dirty in rooms & entertainment area! The single beds made up for kids, avoid at all costs, kids could feel the springs of the bed,had to get extra matresses in order for kids to sleep after 24h00 as they could not fall asleep on the beds! The single fold up beds used for kids are ancient!
The pool was amazing, kids loved it!! Breakfast was also very nice, huge variety to choose from! Location is good! The outside area is superb & the bar! A special thank you to Faria who assisted us to making sure we were happy even after midnight. And the one reception lady that ensured we changed rooms due to toliet not functioning. Thank you!

United KingdomThe bed had a very firm mattress which was too hard for me unfortunately. Helping yourself to tea and coffee at breakfast was not ideal. There was always a long queue and people would ignore the queue and go straight to the front causing queuing guests to get annoyed. Breakfast needs to be a calm time and it wasn't.
The food, entertainment, pool and seating areas were all very nice. The room was clean with a lovely sea view. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

NetherlandsThe hotel seems to be very old, and in some rooms, it isn't very pleasant for you. The toilets and beds and shower need a renovation.
It was, in a real word, an all-inclusive hotel. I really enjoyed how they wanted to give the service to the guests. The location was great. The staff was all great, everything was great,

BelgiumService a little bit slow at check-in and had to wait for confirmation for 2nd day room, but understandable with the heavy demand on the top of planned customers.
Had an urgency due to cancelled flight; even with heavy demand - hotel was able to accommodate us stranded for some days. Good quality of food and drinks.

Great location near the airport, ocean and walkable distance to Funchal. Food was nice. Waiters and reception staff were really helpful. Pools was nice. Easy parking.
