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.).

PolandLoud bathroom, no AC what can be difficult in warmer days, uncomfortable and strange smelling pillow, I had to use my neck pillow. Minus for no fridge in the room.
Very good location, close to everything, still in centrum, but far away from loudness, only the gate door from outside may be annoying by night, they are really loud. Cozy room, clean bathroom, nice staff. Everyday cleaning.

IrelandThe bed in the hotel room is quite creaky and noisy, making it challenging to get in or out of bed without disturbing your partner, especially when preparing to sleep or getting up in the morning.
The location is pretty good, the two streets crossing right below the hotel are full of restaurants and there's a shopping mall with a supermarket. Everything you need on a trip can be easily found in the surrounding area. If you don't mind to walk for 15 min you can easily reach touristic points such as Sé Cathedral, cablecar to get to the Toboggans Sledges or gardens, CR7 museum, Mercado dos Lavradores, Rua Santa Maria. And it close to the checkpoint to GetYourGuide tours(a must to do).

I for one as a traveller am always on the move, I need myself a shelter that is private, comfortable and very well accessible, and the was pretty much Hotel Gordon for me, plus it was incredibly cozy. Let alone the incredibly friendly host, she gave me very helpful tips to help me with my stay in Madeira as well! I'd pretty much visit again.

AustriaThe tubes in the bathroom tend to make seriously scary and loud noises when the air pressure chance. horror movie stuff, when in the middle of the night. Can be fixed with turning on the water or flush the toilet (they do get away anyway, but you might want to get rid of them faster). Happend repeatedly.
Staff is really nice! (You might to bring a translator oder already able to communicate in Portuguese) The location! Unbeatable for the price. I don't need much of luxury, so it was quite fine for me. It was clean und comfy. The bathroom may be a bit to old-fashioned, but everything worked just fine.

PolandI missed en electric kettle and fridge in the room, we stayed there for a few days, so it was a disadvantage, especially that staff was not very happy when I asked for the accession to the fridge in the breakfast room - If I wanted to take sth form the fridge I had to ring the bell at the entrance to call the staff, sometimes I had to wait for a few minutes for someone to come - a fridge and an electric kettle with full time accession would be very helpful for everybody - and the last thing, we were terribly beaten by same insects, I do not know what is was (maybe ants), but after a few days we still suffer from these bites
very good localisation, which is quite important in Funchal - for a very reasonable price - it is an old building needing a little investment and refreshment, our room was gloomy but it was cleaned everyday, and the cleaning person was very friendly, private parking is a big adventage in this city, the hotel is within a walking distance to many nice pubs and restaurants and many different attractions, a big mall is in the nearest street, marina and the boulevard is very close

GermanyOne night there was a heavy storm and the water was leaking from the roof next to window, it was pretty loud sometimes so you couldn’t sleep well. But it just only one day and my bad luck, other rooms in hotel were just fine.
Very nice and ready for help stuff of the hotel, good location. a lot of activities around your location and everything is next to you, car rentals, restaurants, shopping centre, hop on hop off busses. But the most important is discover island buy your own, so car rentals is more important then other stuff.

United Kingdomwhen I arrived around 9pm on Friday eve it did look closed, I rang the bell a couple of times and somewhere came but I did try phoning also. a man met me with a very brief explanation of the property, and I never saw him again. no one seemed to be around much- reception empty with a phone number to call. floor of room was not clean- was covered in small grains of sand or something. I did find it hard to sleep as a street lamp right outside my room and curtains very thin. also quite a lot of noise from nearby bars and people in street. bed a bit uncomfortable and pillow very lumpy.
very central location - easy to walk everywhere, close to shops cafes and bars. nice little garden out the back to have breakfast in but only seemed to be open in the morning. breakfast looked decent - although I didn’t get breakfast as they said it’s not included with booking.com but was for other guests. I went out for coffee instead/ plenty of places around.

Slovakiathere were old water pipes and sometimes due to changing pressure - you could hear noise also during night. also in the morning was weak pressure since we were in top floor, but this we knew in advance. we were in attic room and the ceiling window brought lots of light during sunrise - no curtains. We used eye blinds. We stayied in end of april and it was already hot enough for us to stay in room without aircon. Sleeping with open window only. Bear in mined its old building with nice atmosphere tho. middle floor or 1st floor would be more cold.
Excelent old lady - owner. breakfast were simple but very nice- especially the homemade coffe:) very nice location walking distance to old town, bit harder to come by car - due to narrow streets but we managed, on side its private parking - you get the key to gate. very cheap price day parking and breakfast only 3-4euros/day.

Don’t expect luxury, the rooms are simple but comfortable and clean. The owner is really nice and would go the extra mile to help when she can. I was out all day for activities so this hotel was the perfect choice, pretty cheap and calm to be able to rest at night. 100% recommend ! thank you very much
