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.).

HungaryUnfortunately, there were a lot of ants, but they are probably trying to solve it. It is understandable that it does not go quickly, but there were ant traps. In any case, it is worth making sure that there is only food in the fridge or that everything is wrapped.
It was comfortable and cozy. They were cleaning everyday and it wasn't extra charge. The host was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean. They were so attentive: on the first morning they realized that we didn't have washing up liquid (I forgot to buy), but they prepared one for us! It was lovely! They also had a heater which was nice on the colder days.

SloveniaVery bad wifi. Basically non existent as nothing loads. We didn’t contact the property about this so might have been only our experience. You can hear your neighbors as the apartments have very poor sound insulation.
Very nice staff and very friendly. Very well thought out apartments with everything you need We appreciated fresh towels and cleaning every day. It was a nice touch. The lovais perfect in a quiet street easy parking and just a walk from the city center. A lot of bars and shops all around. However Madeira is full of hils so you have to walk up hill to get from the city center to the apartment. But not a problem for us. We enjoyed it. Very good price!

CanadaThere's nothing that we we're disappointed about the Vila Highly recommended!
It was a home away from home . It is cute, very clean and quiet. We called it home for 4 days. Helen was extremely kind and available to us when needed. If we ever visit Madeira again, we will definitely reserve our stay at Vilas Maria.

Czech RepublicMostly, we had problems with Wifi connection. There was no connection at all in some of the time. And the bed was quite hard for my back but it is just my subjective opinion.
We were amazed by the cleaning service we got in days of Mo-Fri. It was like hotel service - new towels everyday and everything as new as it was on first day here. Just best-quality ratio.

Very spacious and quiet place. Not too close to the center but the localization is good. Beautiful view of the city from the nearby street. The apartment was very clean, had everything you need and the staff was super nice. We even experienced everyday visits by a cute furry supervisor although they demanded some pets from time to time ;)

CanadaWe expected it to be a little bit easier to get into town. It is only a 20 minuet walk but there is a very big hill to climb on the way back to the Vila which was a bit difficult.
It was very clean, the facilities where great and the staff was very nice. Overall had a great stay!

CanadaEverything was perfect. It was quite the walk up the hill, so good shoes are essential.
The apartment was spotlessly clean and had all the required items for a self-catering holiday. The beds were extremely comfortable and it was really lovely and quiet. The staff cleaned on Monday - Friday which was a real bonus. It was tucked away in a residential area up the hill with a fantastic bakery a short walk away, and within a walking distance of the Lido swimming area.

United StatesThere was a very steep incline to get to the Vilas by foot. I am in good health so it was okay for me but it wasn't something I say on the posting anywhere.
The Vilas were large with two twin beds, plenty of storage for clothes, a kitchenette and living area. Helena was nice to meet me at my time of arrival to show me the room. There was also a friendly neighborhood cat that greeted me every time I returned back to the Vilas. There was daily cleaning every day which was a great bonus.
