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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

IcelandNothing that comes to mind, except that the wifi didn't work that well upstairs where the rooms are however it did work alright in the common living area and the kitchen.
Great view, parking close by, cleanliness, there was a kitchen available, laundry service, great hosts, quiet place, close to the calheta beach. Bonus points that the Artists House is a sponsor of a local animal shelter!

GermanyAn exceptionally good choice of hotel! Starting with the Caleta area—very picturesque in the southwestern part of the island, but quiet and cozy (we didn't consider Funchal right away, as we wanted to be away from parties and the city in general)—to the house itself and its owner. The owner deserves a special mention, as he donates the profits from renting out the house to an animal and bird shelter! Thank you for meeting us (due to some issues with car rental in Funchal, we arrived much later) and for being so open to conversation! By the way, the house has a name for a reason, but I won't reveal it here)) The house has clear rules of residence, which makes the stay there comfortable and environmentally friendly for all cohabitants, with whom, by the way, we also had a great time over dinner. As for our room, it had a bathroom with an ocean view. That's all I need))) I love having a bath in the bathroom! It's incredibly cool, especially after German apartments)) This vacation in Madeira will forever be something special and warm in our lives! We are very grateful for the hospitality and will definitely come back with friends!

Czech RepublicBetween seasons, it's cold, and there are no heaters (but we got a great additional blanket). Hot water sometimes stops, and you need to wait 5-10 minutes for it to return. If you fill in the bath - it might end up dead cold if you're not monitoring it. Everything else is minor: Parking is on the street - everybody does it, but there is no rain cover or protection from passing cars. There are no pant/skirt hangers with clips (but plenty of usual ones). Pay attention that some rooms DO NOT have private bathrooms. It would be perfect if heaters, hot water, and hangers could be fixed.
The location is excellent. The host is friendly and welcoming. The rooms are big and well-decorated. It's very comfortable.

PolandI am pleased to share my opinion about this unique place! The building impresses at first glance - its exterior architecture is beautifully maintained and eye-catching. The interiors are equally impressive - every detail is carefully thought out, and the atmosphere combines elegance and coziness. There is an impeccable order everywhere, which testifies to the great commitment of the owner. He is an extremely hospitable and caring person, always ready to help and take care of every detail so that guests feel their best. Staying in this facility is a pure pleasure - I heartily recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place for a truly unique holiday!

Perfect stay in a well-kept house. Very clean room as well as shared areas, such as kitchen & bathroom. The view from my room towards the sea was breathtaking. Furthermore, I was grateful having had the opportunity to use the washing machine. Ludgero has a very welcoming personality. I certainly would stay again here.
