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.).

The location was just perfect for us: very quiet but still in the old center of Funchal, with the seafront and plenty of restaurants and bars just footsteps away. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent!

United KingdomImpeccable location for walkability of Funchal and the building has a lot of charm and character. Ended up staying in both the balcony suite and the top floor room as there were a couple of hiccups with plumbing renovations, which were handled quickly and made up for. Special thanks to Andy who is lovely. Definitely worth going for that top floor if you can as it's gorgeous, the views and the enclosed balcony are dreamy. Very comfy beds in each, the other rooms are fairly no frills but arguably good value for a comfy bed in such a convenient picturesque location.

United KingdomThere was nothing we disliked - Vitorina Corte Guest House suited us perfectly.
We loved the feel and location of this lovely historic house and former family home of the owner. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and we really enjoyed the company of the guest house's lovely owner Grace, who really engaged with us. It felt like home from home. Convenient parking in a garage one block up from the property.

United StatesKeys were a nuisance to use, hard to open entrance door which was unlit at night so even more challenging. Budget rooms were small and cramped. Next time will spend more money for en suite bath and easier access.
Location was ideal for dining and sightseeing. Club next door was a bit loud on the weekend but very convivial and handy for sundowner drinks. Guesthouse owner is American so communicating was super easy v

Absolutely charming place and wonderful hosts! I spent a week at the guesthouse and had a great time, meeting lovely people to chat with over delicious breakfast that catered to all my dietary needs. I received plenty of tips on sightseeing, driving, and things worth trying. Daniel kindly assisted me with language while organizing whale watching. My room was clean, equipped with all necessary amenities (fridge, TV), with a view of the charming church and, of course, the ocean. I happily recommend it and can't wait to return :)

IrelandThe guesthouse is in a 300yr old building, which makes for creaking floor boards there is no lift, which might be an issue for some.Our room was at the back of the guesthouse, and it didn't have much natural light coming through. we had to have the light on quite a bit.😞
The location in the heart of the old town is excellent. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Optional breakfast is very reasonably priced.

United KingdomNothing can be done about it but be warned - the room has one set of doors and right outside it the reception with all the guests talking to staff, starting early in the morning. We've been woken up by loud conversations every single morning.
Beautiful location, ocean view from the little balcony, remote enough not to bee too crowded but super close to everything we needed. Friendly staff.

United KingdomThe room was lovely and very spacious, with everything we needed for a few nights in Funchal. We had a balcony overlooking the sea and the cobbled street (all lit up for Christmas when we were there!) which I would recommend. The location is ideal for walking to plenty of restaurants and bars in Funchal. We had a hire car and although the streets are very narrow we managed to navigate a Jeep to the front door of the property where there was enough street parking. Fabiano And the team were really warm, enthusiastic and welcoming including emailing us a list of their local recommendations. Above and beyond hosting! Would absolutely stay here again for visiting Funchal.
