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.).

IrelandThe prices in the hotel itself are significantly higher than elsewhere, the food is just OK. Better to go elsewhere for dinner for a better experience and save money.
Great amenities. The hotel staff are great. There's a few good restaurants nearby as well as a pub. Great breakfast!

This place was so much better than we expected. Stayed one week in April, with small child. It was fantastic. Everyone went out of their way to help, provide info, helped us with great reservations to fabulous restaurants (recommended by friends who have/do live in Madeira, and the hotel made the same recommendations, all excellent), as well as helped us book babysitting services so we could have adults only evenings (the company they work with was wonderful and sent over a kindergarten teacher who has two kids herself - our boy was smitten!). Not to mention that one night when we had to stay in because of our kid having a high fever, the restaurant agreed to deliver an absolutely gourmet, three course meal off their menu to our room, which we had on the fabulous balcony. The way the hotel is divided, with the pools at different levels and with different amenities in different places was really nice. it meant no area ever got overcrowded. Breakfast was beyond plentiful and with a large variety of everything you could want. Food and drinks on location were generally very good. Even the poolside bar and resto on the top floor was more than decent even if only limited selections. Great drinks for the adults! And fun animation for the kids. Yes some small things here and there could use an upgrade (carpet in a couple of the elevators kind of thing though). But overall, very well kept. The rooms were extremely spacious, always superbly clean, bed was hyper comfortable; and that view from the seaside facing rooms is just to die for. Would be nice if they could ensure that heating for the pools that should be heated can be up and running (was broken for one of the four pools that was supposed to be the warmest while we were there). but the overall temperature of the pools seems to be standard across the hotels so just be prepared that the water is no more than 21/22/23 degrees in spring (maybe warmer in summer months due to stronger sun).

JerseyCheck in could be improved. My room wasn't ready when I arrived and I was offered another room which was occupied. So I was offered a third room eventually.
Breakfast was quite nice. It was sometimes difficult to sleep when the nightclub opposite the hotel was open as it was noisy and could be heard from the room.

PortugalThe room was dated, furniture was ripped, sheets and towels were overused for a 5-star hotel. The parking availability is a nightmare, long periods of time waiting for a space in the free parking (over 1h) even though the hotel has free spaces in the paid parking they could offer instead while the free parking is full - that is not a good service, particularly when guests have toddlers in the car. And the interior pools were not really that heated. The one on floor 0 was as cold as the one outside.
The location is great, right on top of the ocean and walking distance to the marina, room was incredibly spacious, good for families, the personnel was really friendly and helpful.
