How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The breakfast - ok, we agree that no eggs or any kind of hot dishes for a 3 star hotel is cheap. Still, if you need just some calories to get you going for the first half of day, you can make decent cheese and ham sandwiches that will do the job, Admittedly, we are not too enthusiastic about any type of hotel breakfasts (unless moving in an upper 4 star range) - so tried them just once, when had no time for better arrangements. What, of course, one could wish, would be a booking option without the included breakfast, and, accordingly, for a reduced price.
Excellent central location and very reasonable comfort for 3* property - so, a bit of surprised about clearly lacklustre reviews from many of the visitors. The location - can hardly be any better than what it is, unless you want to rely on rental car. Ok, the most of the reviewers seem to well agree on this point. Still, a warning for non-initiated - have never before seen something so challenging as Funchal's terrain, 1.5+km uphill is likely to be a nightmare (and being comfortable with somewhat hilly Greek islands does not give a right idea about the expectations here). The level of comfort (size of room, bed, pillows, bathroom) - very consistent with what could be expected fro 3 star hotel. The room was larger than we actually expected, the beds were quite comfy (the pillows included) - and we are picky about this, well equipped and spacey bathroom. The price/value - ok, not really a bargain here. Initially we assumed that this is due to exorbitant New Year's Eve prices (stayed there for three nights, the New Year's Eve included), but, just out of curiosity, when rechecking their "low season prices", realised that the high season extra has been quite sensible - around 30% or so, so nothing really to complain about. Funchal simply seems to be exorbitantly overpriced in any season - ok, in quieter times there might be better availability to choose from. So generally we are quite satisfied with the location, overall comfort and price value ratio, and would consider staying there again.

I like where the hotel is situated a lot good surroundings, quick access to shops and area is very easy to navigate around and close to walk tourist's visiting areas, sea close by.
I was informed about the hotel and information was very useful, a folder on bed side and no mixed messages.

The pillows were VERY bad. Literally little pieces of foam in a case, we both slept badly. The air conditioner did not work. There are no plugs sockets in the room except for the bathroom?! And the breakfast provided was extremely poor, nothing except cereal and toast.
Location was good, very central.

The cleanliness of the rooms was poor. Our room had an ant infestation. After asking to move rooms, the second room had food in the bed and food on the floor. The bathroom hadn’t been cleaned properly. Basic requirements for a satisfactory stay not met.
The location of the hotel was good.
