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.).

United KingdomThree small suggestions ... 1) There only seemed to be one 'sharp' knife in the kitchenette, but it wasn't sharp. A new knife would be useful. 2) Some written information in the studio would be useful e.g. where to shop, places of local interest, restaurant recommendations, what to do with rubbish. 3) We arrived at night-time and drove up the narrow, very steep hill to locate the property. Abel told us it would be better to approach the accommodation from the other end of the road. It would be a good idea to communicate this information to guests before their arrival.
Comfortable accomodation. Good location for exploring the north-east of Madeira during our 4 night stay. Close to village amenities, such as restaurants and a small supermarket. The studio was very clean. The kitchenette enabled us to cook meals. The bed was very firm, but OK for me! We enjoyed the use of the sun loungers. The shower temperature was just about OK, but hotter would be better! Many thanks to Abel for his friendliness and waiting for our arrival at 23.10

NetherlandsIt wasn't too clear on the photos that the green area with sun beds belonged to the studio and not the house. The green area is very appealing! The bed could also be comfier!
We very much enjoyed our stay. The owner was very sweet and helpful. The accommodation was quiet. There was a little outside space to sit with nice views. The great restaurants and village centre were within a short walk away. The house had all we needed including a secure parking area. We adored Madeira.

FranceIt would be good to provide foodstuffs such as olive oil if we want to prepare our meals, and coffee/tea
The view is incredible, the owner is so kind. If you have a car, we do not recommend to go to Funchal since it is very complicated to park. This location was perfect, it’s a village with some restaurants and markets with very few tourists. That’s makes the experience even more real.

Czech RepublicWe were very happy with everything. The owner Abel was waiting for us in the middle of the night because our flight was late. The view from the apartment was breathtaking just like the bananas from the garden. To eat fresh bananas for breakfes every day is something you never forger. I definitely recommend the place, there was nothing we missed.

United KingdomSliding doors didn't lock so anyone could enter through them. On top of that anyone could enter from the street too. There were more accommodations next to me and people were walking around the sliding door, with a view of the entire room. So unless I had the curtains shut, it wasn't private.
Amazing view, sliding door right to a garden. Well equipped.

United KingdomWe liked everything.
We liked everything, great small apartment. Great garden to sit and enjoy your meals. Even has a small banana plantation which the proprietor said we could use. Kitchen well equipped, beds comfy, good selection of TV channels if needed. Proprietor was always upbeat and chatty. Not far from anything in the town. Porto do Cruz has some of the most amazing cliff views anywhere. Walk around the point and look up to Penha do Ãguia, 500m tall cliff face, below surfers crusing the waves. Being on the north coast there is more swell so sea are more spectacular when crashing into the rocks. Just a fab place. 😁😁
