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 really. There had been a leak in the roof which caused some inconvenience but they quickly sorted it out.
Breakfast was excellent and with plentiful choice. The location in the centre of Funchal by the cathedral suited us perfectly. The staff of the front desk always greeted us with a smile. The guys serving on the rooftop bar did an excellent job.

United KingdomWe could not get the coffee machine in our room to work. The en suite had transparent walls!
We loved the location of this hotel. It is very central and was easy to walk to everywhere we wanted to see. The rooftop bar is ideal for sunbathing and the breakfasts are amazing, served in a quirky old- fashioned green room! We were upgraded to a superior room and given a complimentary bottle of Prosecco

United KingdomBreakfast not great, particularly the hot selection & fruit choice. Personally we didn't like the cubed glass panelled loo & shower - I believe however there are rooms available that offer an enclosed bathroom (of which to be fair we could have changed to but we were unpacked & our room had one of the only sea views)
A very centrally located friendly hotel. Staff were amazing, decor funky & fun. Beds very comfortable.

Everything was excellent. The staff looked after us very well. We checked in early and was upgraded. The room was spotless with chocolates for valentine day and also a bottle of sparkling wine. We were also given a late check out free of charge. Very nice buffer breakfast with plenty of choice. All in all an excellent stay and would certainly recommend. The terrace bar. On the roof is certainly worth a visit.

United KingdomThe bed was a bit springy for me but I wouldn't have complained after all the great things! The main annoyance was the glass bathroom had a curtain on one side for privacy but not the other. If we were only one night it may have got annoying - bear in mind i did book a different room and was upgraded and on looking after, my original room didnt look like it had a glass bathroom.. Also the breakfast wasn't so great sadly - 100% would have gone out to town instead if we're staying more than a night.
The staff were amazing. We were upgraded to a junior suite and for no clear reason, given a bottle of bubbly to enjoy! (It was the day before valentines, so it may have been this, but I was clear in my booking that we were not a couple and trying to escape all the couples by getting away!) The room was lovely and amazing view. The rooftop and location just perfect . Really would highly recommend it! Next door restaurant too if feeling too lazy to venture far like we did on the last day of a week long holiday!

PortugalThe coffee could've been better, but there are places very nearby that make excellent flat whites. Other than the coffee, the breakfast was plentiful, and offered a huge variety of choices. I especially enjoyed being introduced to local fruits.
The staff work really hard to make clients feel comfortable and go out of their way to be helpful with suggestions on hiking and parking and other things. The rooftop bar is amazing, even in winter. The lounge is inviting and I met some really nice people there which as a solo traveler, I appreciated! I had an excellent experience staying here; I even came back and stayed a second time on this trip!
