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.).

United KingdomNothing could have been better than it already was.
Stunning location with fabulous access to the ocean for swimming and a lovely pool and sun terrace. Food was absolutely stunning. The breakfast was exceptional in every way and the poolside and terrace bars are refined. There's a lot more to this hotel than meets the eye - we feel that both the signature photo and the description on booking.com doesn't do the hotel justice.

Czech RepublicWe made a reservation for dinner that didn't get communicated from the reception to the restaurant, so we were turned away when we arrived as they were full.
We had a sea view suite at the top of the hotel. Incredible view. Very comfortable and clean. The location was perfect.

United KingdomNot much to add here but the coffee needs improvement. `
The room was excellent - very clean, spacious, and well-kept modern. When we checked in we got upgraded to a better room with views directly over the ocean - absolutely fantastic! The staff were very helpful, always hands-on with anything we needed; they even prepared a cake with a lovely message for my fiancee's birthday. The breakfast was very good and well diversified to suit all tastes.

SloveniaThe staff was really friendly, location is great, as hotel is right by the ocean. In the evening the sound od waves is the only thin one hears. Self service buffet breakfast was great, there is a lot of choises. When weather was good, you can eat on the terrace. And semi circular room gives beautiful views of the ocean and cliffs near Funchal. Would come again!

United KingdomThe hotel was ideal for us, we enjoyed the walk into Funchal - it took about 20 minutes. The views from our hotel and the room were stunning, absolutely wonderful. It is easy to get cabs from the outside of the hotel, and a bus tour from the top of the road. The cocktails in the hotel bar were lovely, and all of the facilities were great. The room was a great size, no noise (apart from the ocean which was beautiful!) Would highly recommend this hotel.

United KingdomNothing to complain about . Excellent throughout
The best part of this place is its location. Booking a sea view . Nothing beats going to sleep and waking up to the sound of waves. The beautiful sunsets that you can watch from the comfort of the balcony. The staff at this hotel are the warmest I have met in my travels. Super chilled vibe and nothing is too much trouble for them . Thank you all for making our stay very relaxing and comfortable. Hope to visit again soon!

United KingdomGreat location right on the seafront, with good swimming pool. Spacious room with plenty of storage and a lovely sea view. Very good buffet breakfast. Quality restaurant for evening meal, but also close to other excellent restaurants. Relaxed ambience in this slightly older style hotel with modern facilities suited us very well, we would happily go back there (and hope to next year!)
