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 KingdomFoods are inconsistent. There are days food are decent and other days foods are either over-cooked or tasteless. Despite many people comment on great breakfast, I found it rather disappointing. The fry eggs are so over-cooked and heated, they become leathery. And how could anyone get watermelon so wrong? During my 10 night stay, the watermelon was never fresh, there is no crunch to it and obviously they have been left in the fridge for too long. In addition, my friend who is vegetarian and often the foods don't have name/ingrediant tags to them, it's like guessing game to see which one is vegetarian dish.
Great location, clean hotel, friendly staff, amazing view and comfortable room.

JordanThey provide you with the pool towels once, and you need to bring them to the checkout. One more thing the elevator was a bit old and slow can handle max of 4 people at a time, which lead to spend 15 min on average from/to the reception during breakfast and dinner..
The view from the room (for the sea view) is breath taking. The room was nice and clean. Highly recommended.

IrelandSome people may find the walk uphill from the town centre a bit tough in the heat however we didn't mind this and taxis are not too expensive so that would be an alternative option.
The hotel had stunning views and the room was amazing! Breakfast was buffet style with a good variety of options. Dinner in the restaurant was very nice too .The pool also is in a beautiful setting , really feels like paradise! Staff very very friendly and helpful. I would go back in a heartbeat!

BelgiumThe room was dusty and there were no nice amenities. Just soap and nothing else. Not what you would expect from a 4 star hotel.
The hotel has indeed amazing views. We stayed in a studio and the room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Wi-Fi worked great. Breakfast buffet had a lot of variety and food was delicious. There is a spa with and interior swimming pool and also and outdoor swimming pool. Both are biggish and very well done

GermanyOur room was relatively noisy, the street sounds were too clearly audible. The balcony door was not well sealed. Also, we weren’t informed that reservations for the breakfast (and dinner) are possible and it turned out that all nice spots with a view were reserved for extra money with individual service though there’s a buffet. This made us feel treated like 2nd class customers without being even informed, which is not nice at this rate. We wanted to order room service food at 9pm (it is until 9) because we went for the sunset which is at 8:30, but we were denied after 8:45, as the kitchen closes earlier. So, the flexibility for customers was limited. Also, the indoor pool and spa area isn’t included in the price if you stay less than 5 nights.
The views are amazing. Nice lobby and pool as well as restaurant.

IrelandIf I could give any advice to improve it would be to update the rooms showers (they’re fine just not the most modern), and to give shampoo and conditioner instead of just the standard shampoo/body wash (although more expensive rooms may come with this, we just had a standard). You also have to pay extra to use the indoor pool and gym, which we didn’t know before coming, so be aware of that. If you’re coming with older/ less physically able people also be aware it’s on top of a hill so walking around is a bit tough but all of Funchal is hilly which the hotel can’t help.
The pool was absolutely amazing. The staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful. The pool was really nice, with great views, and really clean. The pool bar food and drinks were really nice and cheap enough considering its in a hotel. They also have a happy hour which makes them very cheap! The breakfast was the best we’ve had at any hotel anywhere. The selection is absolutely huge and everything really tasty. There was even complimentary champagne. Hotel was very clean and modern. The evening indoor bar has a great selection of drinks and does live music which was really nice. The views of course are amazing. Even our standard room came with a balcony! It’s been one of our favorite stays ever. If anyone was coming to Funchal I would reccomend this hotel.
