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.).

Maike
United Kingdomthe only thing I didn’t like is that you get a sheet over over a blanket which means the blanket probably is not washed between guests and I personally don’t think that’s hygienic. Since it was very warm I only slept with the sheet anyways, so it wasn’t a problem for me.
I liked the proximity to restaurants, cafes and the seaside. The apartment was very spacious and provided everything you need, especially the kitchen, you could cook a proper meal there. When I was there it was super quiet at night, no music at all, not sure if that was due to a new law or off season but I had the best sleep. The bed was also very comfortable for my taste. Communication was also very excellent and I appreciated all the information received before and during my stay.

United KingdomBeing above the restaurants there was quite a bit of general noise, it didn't bother us and we had a couple of evenings with free live music from one of the bars. Nice. There was also night club that's only open Friday and Saturday but that was noisy
The apartment was spacious, clean and well appointed. the location was excellent, in the centre of the old town, it was close to all amenities and sea front. Not that we needed it but the restaurant below us was owned by the same people and the manager/staff were on hand to assist. beautiful island, lovely people

United KingdomLOUD! Many of the reviews said the accommodation was noisy but one of the nights felt like we were sleeping in a night club. The bar opposite plays ridiculously loud music, if you are going to be out drinking late then this probably won’t cause you much of a problem but if you want early nights to do hikes the next day or a 5am start for the sunrise hike then it’s a problem ! The bed is also not the comfiest, very firm
Very good location right in the centre of the old town, very close to lots of restaurants and the harbour front, also right outside the cable car start (can see them from your window)

AustraliaNoisey at night, but the price you pay sometimes for being in the midst of the hustle and bustle! Only has pedestal fans and apartment heats up quite a lot in the day - given the nightly noise outside you need to sleep with windows closed so ends up hotter than what I like. Would be a great addition to have proper ac unit.
Really nice stay, plenty of space and everything you need. Clean and they let us check in early which is always appreciated. Good central location, we hired a car and the parking was only a 2 min walk away from apartment.

South AfricaThere was a smell coming from the drain.
Right in the middle of the old town, on the oldest street in Funchal. The steps to our apartment right on top was very, very steep. Not advisable for elderly patrons. The property is well kept, and fully furnished with all the cooking implements needed for a longer stay as a family. Lovely stay!

South AfricaNo elevator, so if you have large suitcases... it may be a challenge climbing those stairs. Exceptionally loud, annoying music coming from one of the establishments downstairs which carried on throughout the night until early hours of the morning. We could not sleep despite closing the windows and bedroom door. With a heavy heart, we left after one night. If you're a light sleeper or have children, this might not be the place for you.
Great location. Apartment was clean and had everything needed for a stay. Friendly and helpful staff who were available any time I needed to get hold of them.

SerbiaExcellent location, the owners are completely correct. The description of the apartment states that it has 98 square meters, but there are no more than 60. The extra bed is uncomfortable and at night too noisy from the disco that is under the window. There is no terrace. Nicely equipped with everything you need. Recommendation

Very nice and big apartment, kitchen with all you need! 🙂 Very good location Close to restaurants, supermarket and bakery 🧁 Close to téléphérique 🚠 to go to Monte (18 euros) Close to the cathedral and the ocean walk Taberna Ruel restaurant under the apartment makes you a 10% discount, it is a good restaurant quality. I recommend the lapa, the tuna fish 🐟, choice one for two so you have place for dessert after. Advice : go early! visit the East of the island for 34 euros all day, buy ticket in a kiosk like Madeira excursions by the oceans’walk. Very interesting excursion 9:15 am to 5 pm 🤩🤩🤩
