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.).

Perched on a lovely hilltop with incredible views of Funchal and the North Atlantic Ocean. The villa had everything we needed for a week long stay and Lino was a great host who helped us with everything.

United KingdomI asked for some needed kitchen items, which were delivered right away. So, there was nothing to dislike.
The host was very welcoming and kind and helpful throughout my stay. Location was very good for me as I did not have a car and there was a very inexpensive and reliable bus service into Funchal center. My TV gave up the ghost after 2 days but was replaced within 24 hours.

Czech RepublicThe air and apartement was quite wet, but there has been a machine to help with that and I think it`s caused by the humid weather in the January. So nothing else Lino could do with that:)
Lino is a great host. He picked us in the airport and drove us to the accomodation. He was on time everywhere we agreed and gave us some advice what to see in Madeira. Everything was nice and clean and we even got a typical Madeira cake as a welcome gift. Apartment has a great view and is located near Botanic gardens and you can easily take a bus to the city or a cable car to Monte. It`s in the steep hills so for persons with limited mobility it might be a challenge. There is a convenient parking next to the accommodation though and I managed to drive here even though I am not that much experienced driver.

NetherlandsNothing to highlight.
Everything. Well equipped and comfortable beds both for us and our 6 months old. Everything is just like on the pictures and the view from the apartment is phenomenal. The botanical garden and one of the cable cars is literally in front of the apartment and I highly recommend to anyone who’d prefer to be away of the touristy and crowded, noisy center and be closer to the nature. There’s a mountain pathway nearby and a waterfall:)

United KingdomNo issues.
The room was clean, comfortable and cool which allowed for a great sleep. The other guests staying in the rooms were lovely. We had a quiet and powerful fan which helped us keep cool in the night, but the room was generally pretty cool already. Lino was nice and picked us up from the airport which allowed for a hassle free journey.

United StatesThe noise! My gosh, the amount of dogs barking, chickens squawking, and cats fighting was insane and virtually non stop. We had to keep the windows open to keep the apartment cool at night and the noise from the animals in town was very loud at all hours. The location worked well for us because we rented a car, however if you do not rent a car it is not really within walking distance of much.
A beautiful little apartment with excellent views! Our studio was well equipped and clean. The washer was very handy and we loved the private balcony that overlooked Funchal. The location was decent, easy access to the bus stop that comes regularly and free parking for the rental car offered by the property. Lino was very kind, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay.

LuxembourgMy only complaint is the noise (which we were quite surprised by, since we had read so many reviews saying this was a quiet place). There is of course no blame on the owner, as it's out of his control, but there seems to be an issue with dog owners in this neighborhood. A close neighbor leaves their dog outside - and the dog barks ALL NIGHT. - also riling up other neighborhood dogs. We are not sensitive sleepers, but the bass of this bark was too much. After a sleepless night, we turned the fan on in the room, and that did provide enough white noise to drown the bark. Otherwise it's a lovely place, so I hope this can be resolved with the neighbor!
Nice location and view. Lovely garden to hang out in (loved the hammock!).The condo is comfortable and spacious. Easy free parking!

SwitzerlandA very nice apartment with all the utilities you need. The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, oven, microwave, toaster, coffe machine etc. The outside area is perfect to make a charcoal bbq and to relax in the sun while enjoying the stunning view. You can directly rent a car from the very nice host family. If you don't drive, the bus stop is just in front of the house. The grocery- and fruit store and the local bakery are located just around the corner.
