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 KingdomThe room was very dated and looks like they don't really keep on top of their maintenance which seemed strange because the rest of the hotel seemed OK The balcony had rust on it which made me not really want to lean on it. The wardrobe sliding door didn't open fully so the drawers inside couldn't open. The room door had to be opened by a key which was difficult at night trying to do it in the dark. Not really a big choice of food at breakfast.
Location was a good base for getting around Funchal. Fresh towels were left in room every day. Safe in room. The roof top pool area is good for catching the sun albeit the pool isn't heated. Reception staff all very helpful and they allow you to leave your luggage there after checking out The 12pm check out time is also good The price was good compared to other hotels in Funchal.

United StatesIt would be nice to have a mini fridge in the room.
The hotel is very central, within walking distance of the old town, cable car, city, waterfront and lots of restaurants. The staff is friendly and helpful, even when you arrive in the middle of the night. The breakfast is extensive, with one of the most generous fresh fruit arrays I have seen on a breakfast buffet. The rooftop pool was wonderful, even in early April. Try to get a room with a balcony, so you will be able to dry your swimwear outside. The room was a decent size, versus the hotel rooms I had in Lisbon.

United KingdomThe rooms were very tired and, while generally clean and a nice big clean comfortable bed there were some details that made it feel less comfortable: a funny smell in the room on the day I arrived probably due to the mop that was used. There was a hair in the sink and the menu literature on the table had dirty oily finger prints all over it. But other than this, the quality of cleaning was better on the following days.
The staff were all excellent and went out of their way to be helpful.

United KingdomPool is not heated on the top floor, I did not have wetsuit with me :) We did try but couldn't stay longer than few teeth-shattering minutes.
The location was superb, the staff helpful. The parking started weird, but that was an issue with the booking app not refreshing messages. On arrival I planned to quickly stop and pay for the parking, but this blew the fuse of the gentleman taking care of parking. He did not speak English and did not let me park anywhere, until the super helpful hotel staff helped out.

SlovakiaMy only objections are the bathroom - the window could not be opened and the old door should be replaced, otherwise everything was fine
Good price, location within a 10-minute walk from the total center of the city, friendly staff, welcome drink, clean room, tasty and rich breakfast included in the price of accommodation, swimming pool on the roof of the hotel with a nice view. I will recommend the hotel to friends who are going to Madeira.

PortugalOverall this was a very good experience, so nothing to point out on this.
The staff and their service were really nice. They really tried to please us and always greeted us with a smile. The location was perfect, very close to the city center and the beach whilst being quiet and reserved. The bedroom is really simple, so don't expect luxury (but the price is really adjusted). The breakfast is good: a lot of fresh fruit, different types of bread and so on. Also, a good positive point was the rooftop and the swimming pool on there.

SwedenRefrigerators were available for rent, but that they were not in every room may make me think twice about booking again for a longer stay. I'd be nice if one could order drinks or snacks from the pool area. It seems set-up for that, but it was closed the entire time I was there. Breakfast was a bit meh. Could use a bit more variety.
The hotel is overall very good value for money. The location is central Funchal, and the rooms have a little balcony. I found the staff exceptionally friendly.

CanadaThe plug in air freshener in lobby seating area gave off a strong ‘artificial’ odour. Was unpleasant when sitting there.
Location, breakfast offerings, staff, cleanliness, pool. Felt safe. My room was at back so it was quiet. I understand from others that rooms in front were noisier.

PortugalNot the cleanest ever! Could be a little bit more clean. The bathrooms need a makeover
This is a super nicely located hotel, it’s not the nicest I’ve been to but for what we needed and just a couple nights it was more than enough. The best is incredibly comfortable and the breakfast is great, but the 60s styled hotel and not the cleanest ever does pull out rating down a little. Staff is wonderfully nice and this is right in the heart of Funchal.
