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 StatesWe had a water leak in our room twice with condensation coming from the air conditioning above. They had it fixed quickly, but that would’ve been my only observation. I would’ve taken something off the bill for that or done something else for us, but beyond that it was absolutely fantastic.
Reid’s Palace is perched on the side of the hill in Funchal. It has beautiful gardens, multiple pools and wonderful dining experiences.its older and well maintained.

United KingdomThe hotel runs a talk on the history of the hotel which we would have loved to attend unfortunately they only run the talk once a week which is restricting if one has other tours already booked etc. People who have done it said how informative it was. Apparently there was only one person who gives the talk which really is bonkers when there is such a high demand with many people wanting to also learn about the hotel.Shouldn't rely solely on just the one person, suggestion train up more staff members so no guest leaves disappointed on missing out.
Loved all the attention to detail. Decor was quality creating charming and comfortable atmosphere.The gardens were lush and interesting. The staff were excellent. Felt very well looked after. Nothing was too much. Reids Hotel still has all the old fashioned charm with high standards where the guest is treasured and well cared for but with all the modern luxuries.

The hotel is very elegant in an understated way. The staff were delightful and our room met our expectations in terms of its location, aspect and facilities.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing to dislike
We were overwhelmed at the unexpected extras provided with the room, free soft drinks in the mini bar, snacks, Tea and coffee (nespresso) welcome decanter of Madeira wine on arrival. Birthday gift of flowers and champagne for my partner from the hotel. Excellent view over the harbour. Breakfast by the pool was the best buffet I have had, so much choice from the hot cooked section, fresh fruit, cured meats & smoked fish, cheese, cakes, also choice from the "to order" section and champagne if wanted. The location was at the top of the hill and not particularly suitable for anyone with walking difficulties however the hotel provide free courtesy ride into the centre of Funchal. We also took afternoon tea on the terrace and for $45 worth every cent
