Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

ItalyVery nice place to stay in the very heart of the city of Funchal. Bars, coffee shops and restaurant 2 mins walking, first floor but still a lot of light. The small patio is very useful and charming. Few minutes walking from the ocean. The check in was very easy to organize and Guilherme is a very helpful and available person.

United KingdomOnly minor things. Some matching wine glasses would be nice and the shower room could do with a new shower tray.
Great apartment for two couples or a family in the perfect location in the old town. Restaurants on the doorstep and a short walk to the sea and tourist attractions. Loved the view over the square. Comfortable beds (two singles pushed together). Our host Sarah very helpful and friendly.

United KingdomThere was an ant infestation in the kitchen, we'd had similar in other locations we've stayed on this trip - but they included the black ant box catchers (I don't know their name) and also some ant spray - maybe include this too. We never really had enough hot water for three of us, not sure there is much you can do about this though. It was a bit chilly, so maybe some electric heaters for a cold evening.
Sarah met us at the apartment, also arranged for a taxi to collect us from the airport. As well as helping us up the stairs with our bags. The apartment was in a fantastic location right in the heart of the old town and a hop skip from some fantastic restaurants of which all were recommended by Sarah. Very comfy beds. Spacious apartment. All in all we loved it, the support staff, the location - just wonderful. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back.

Loved absolutely everything, Sara was extremely helpful she met us and showed us around the apartment which couldn’t have been in a better location plenty of bars and restaurants on the doorstep, the apartment was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, she even organised a driver to take us to the valley of the nuns, we had an issue waiting for the results of a covid test to travel home and she rang the hospital for us, nothing was too much trouble I would have no hesitation recommending this place and will definitely return.

United KingdomNot a problem for us - but it does get hot and a bit noisy at night. So best suited for adults or family with older teenagers rather than small children.
Loved being at the heart of the Old Town in an authentic and classy apartment.

SlovakiaI think my co-travellers would appreciated the aircondition, for me the temperature was ok. We used to stay during our travels in the apartments so if I can compare it to our previous stay, I would suggest for this apartment more decoration and personal touch, I personally didn´t like the "empty" walls. Our stay was for 8 days so I would add also more of basic essentials for guests (toilet paper for example).
The location in the city center in the Santa Maria Rua was superb. We like to be surrounded by restaurants, cafes, bars, etc. The live music was only to 10 pm, so there was no disturbment from outside. The flat was big and we appreciated 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We liked our balcony towards the small square. In the kitchen your have everything you may need.

TaiwanWe were there at February, although we had one portable heater but We were constantly cold in the apartment. The first shower was Unbearable because We couldn't finish one normal shower, the hot water keeps fading although we were told that the hot water tank can support 6 showers. Apparantly after checking, The hot water volume wasn't turned to its maximum, so mind this before you shower. After the first day our other showers we're great. Some sinks were clogged but not a huge problem. You just have a sense that everything was pretty worn in the apartment. Last but not least, All of their beds are single bed put together
Sarah was very easy to communicate,kind and helpful. Wifi was super fast. In the center close to everything.
