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.).

BelgiumIn the gym you are obliged to use towels (which make total sense) but there are no towels available. These should be available for free at the gym. At the parking lot there is no traffic light for entrance/exit of the cars - with the low visibility from the sun and the inclination of the exit/entrance, it is dangerous. There is a fee to enter the spa of 5 Eur/person per day. This should be free for the guests.
The best of the best.... The VIEW! Eating breakfast at the window looking at the views of the mountains, pool and ocean all in once it is absolutely amazing! Very nice hotel, very friendly personal, delicious breakfast with a lot of variety and local products, great area at the pool, live music almost every night! Perfect! One thing I found outstanding is the possibility of having breakfast before the breakfast time! This makes this hotel completely standing out from others - very well done! We've booked breakfast once at 4.30am to go hiking and another day at 6am to leave to the airport. The location is good if you like to walk - but let the high heels at home :). It is abut 20 min walking to Avenida do Mar and to the center. But within 10/15 min walking on the opposite direction, you find very nice local restaurants.

RomaniaSmall problem with cleaning/refund policy, I stayed 8 nights, and the first 3 days didn't get the room cleaned once even the second day I informed the reception that I want my room to be cleaned daily. In the end we fixed this problem.
One of the best views in Funchal. Friendly staff and the food and drink I had was all of a very high standard, fresh and always varied. I had breakfast included but I ate some lunches at the pool bar which is fabulous. The room was fantastic with a beautiful view, I booked massages and enjoyed the spa facilities and the pool. Cocktail bar was great. I'll see you in December!

RomaniaReception was chaos, there were always 3-4 guests talking over the others at the same time; reception staff didn't seem to be able to maintain order and some of them didn't speak English very well, which we found strange for this hotel. Bed was springy, any move you made would shake the whole bed; mattress was too soft for us. We also had a hard leather couch in the room, more for decor I assume, because it's very uncomfortable to actually relax on it. After breakfast (~11:00), when the cleaning started, there was a lot of noise on the entire floor. Hotel is at around 1km walking from central area and restaurants, when you return you have to walk some steep streets which is not really pleasant in heat and sun; but you can also get a taxi.
Nice, large room (we had the deluxe double room), nice view from 10th floor; nice bathroom with awesome large walk-in shower; we even had a small balcony. Large parking (there is outdoor one and 2 covered ones), we always found a space. Nice restaurant, plenty of options at buffet, nice views from the tables - with deluxe room you have some reserved, better positioned tables at breakfast; you also have included a breakfast menu, but we found the options too small and simple. Restaurant staff were very helpful to find us vegan options, even adapted some dishes and suggested some other ideas - we really appreciated that!

ItalyThe lady who cleans the room does not do it properly: floors were dirty after cleaning, towels were not always changed. We were staying 6 days and just once the room was cleaned. We asked 2 times as the hotel is ecological, but they forgot and no one came to clean, just after a call to reception. Things were given to laundry for cleaning, but white shirts became yellowish. Juices and coffee the ones that are suggested for breakfast were quite bad: no taste and juices are mixed with water too much.
The hotel is new and the rooms are quite big. Spa is included and breakfast was quite good. Location is perfect, 10 minutes from the waterfront.

United KingdomParking is a nightmare in the evening as the car park is always full, so we had to park creatively on the hotel front quite a few times. Some of the front desk staff could be friendlier as well.
This hotel was absolutely lovely and I am not sure one can't find a better view elsewhere in Funchal in such a central location. We really enjoyed our stay there and having the breakfast included is a bonus.

United KingdomIt took ages for us to check in despite the online link.
This is a fantastic hotel. Very spacious and well maintained. Obviously the views are amazing but the staff are also lovely and friendly and the food and drink we had was all of a very high standard, fresh and always varied. We only had breakfast included in our stay but we ate some lunches at the pool bar which is fabulous and also ate a buffet dinner one evening. We were quite a large group in 3 studio rooms which were all perfect for our needs. Some used the spa and the reports were good. It was close enough to walk into Funchal. Very much enjoyed.
