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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

CanadaLuis was an absolutely amazing host! Before we even had a chance to unload the car, he greeted us warmly and took us to a local pub down the road for a drink - his treat - where we had the chance to get to know him. He’s incredibly friendly, welcoming, and full of great recommendations for exploring Madeira. Having grown up on the island, he knows it inside and out. Luis has beautifully transformed his basement into two stunning guest suites. Ours was tastefully decorated and included thoughtful touches like wine and fresh fruit to welcome us. The location on the west side of the island is ideal—central enough to make traveling to all parts of Madeira easy. In our experience, the west side offers a more convenient base for exploring. Throughout our stay, Luis checked in every couple of days, always with a kind gesture, bringing fruit from his garden and even leaving us a lovely parting gift. The suite also boasts breathtaking views, and we were lucky enough to witness a double rainbow after the rain. Our stay was truly magical, and we can’t recommend Luis and his beautiful suite highly enough!

CroatiaAbsolutely nothing, everything was amazing.
If I could give more than five stars, I would! My stay was truly exceptional, thanks to the incredible hospitality of Luis. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warm smile and a genuine eagerness to ensure my stay was perfect in every way. Luis went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, providing thoughtful touches that made me feel at home immediately. Every detail was carefully attended to, from the spotless cleanliness of the space to the thoughtful amenities provided. Whenever I had a question or needed assistance, Luis was incredibly responsive and helpful, offering not just answers but also excellent recommendations that made my trip even more memorable. What really stood out to me was Luis's genuine kindness and attentiveness. He truly cared about my experience and was always available to ensure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find someone who is not only professional and efficient but also so warm and welcoming. Staying here was more than just a place to rest—it felt like visiting a friend. I can't recommend Luis highly enough and will definitely be returning in the future. If you're looking for a place where you'll be treated like family, this is it!

SloveniaWe chose this place to explore the west part of the island and it was a perfect starting point for all the places we wanted to visit. Multiple famous Levadas are only 20 min away by car. Parking was available right in front of the apartment. The place was nice and tidy, everything is practically new. A big plus was the balcony with a lovely view where we enjoyed our dinners during sunset. Special thanks goes to the lovely Luis (owner), who is a really great guy!

RomaniaThis is a good property with a great value. Maybe you find others, but having someone like Luis is hard to find. You feel welcomed and like a close guest that comes in visit. Regarding parking, is on the road like most of the parking in Madeira Rooms are bigger than they look in the photos, usually it’s the other way around. There is a bar nearby and if you want to eat around, either a small hike or 5 min by car.

United KingdomNothing
The studio/apartment was spacious comfortable well equipped and felt brand new. The views were lovely and the area peaceful and quiet. We had visited Madeira last year, hired a car and visited most sights and walks that are difficult to reach and stay by bus.This year we spent the first half of our trip in Funchal and this was our beachy part of the holiday travelling only by bus. Initially we were going to stay very close to the beach but we felt this accommodation was more suited to us despite being up in the hills. We are so glad we did. We would walk down to the beach in the morning which even for our sixty year old legs was an enjoyable if steep walk (45 minutes) and get a taxi back in the evening which only cost 6-7 euros. We would shop in our favourite supermarket (Pingo Dolche) in Calheta and bring our groceries back in the taxi. We self catered most evenings but the Poncha bar around the corner did great food for odd evenings. On the way there we used the number 80 bus which dropped us at the beach and we got a taxi from there We then discovered that bus 142 stopped opposite the Poncha bar and we returned by a beautiful route to Funchal. This bus could also take you to various points on the west of the Island. Everything you read in other reviews about how wonderful and kind Louis and his family are if anything are understated. Highly Recommended
