Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Italy- The bathroom is ok but you have to pass along the outside common zone to come from the room to it, so it isn't so useful if it is cold; furthermore, it is very low so it isn't kind for me that be tall (but it is only my problem).
- The house is located in the periferic area of the small village of Sao Vicente: there is a free parking nearby where you can find easily a car park. - The beach side is 2km far (15min by foot), where you can find restaurants (my favourite is "La Caravela", i recommend it a lot!!), bars and a market. - The room is ok: there are private dishes inside and in the common zone you can find a kettle, a fridge and a microwave, but you can't cook. - In the common zone you can wash your clothes and put them to dry. - Rate quality/price is very high!! - The comunication with the host is very good: he answers very quickly to all our request.

PolandIf many guests come here, maybe Federico will save up enough money to build a separate toilet and bathroom. We sincerely wish him the same, because it would make it much easier for guests to stay there
We chose this room because of the very good price. Anyone who wants a five-star hotel should not come here. We wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone else. Frederico and his mother are very, very nice and helpful. The modest bathroom is cleaned several times a day. A bus stop, two cafes, pub and a restaurant are practically under the window. Ten other restaurants, a pastry shop, pizzeria and market open 7 days a week, and the ocean are a 15-minute walk away. When we return to Madeira, we will definitely stay here.

United KingdomWe visited in a rainy January, so the open air kitchen terrace and outside bathroom were cold but we think this would be a wonderful place to stay in warmer, drier weather!
Our host was lovely, friendly and helpful. It was great that he was looking out for us to arrive as the character house was located in a narrow, cobbled street and the entrance was at the back. There was a big car park very close.

UkraineI think that in summer it can be less comfortable to rest in the room because the window faces a noisy road and if you sleep with the window open, it will be loud. It is also a dark room (the window faces the mountain), which gets little natural light. But for a short stay, it's a nice place anyway.
It was a very comfortable stay. Despite the winter time, the room had a comfortable temperature (there is a radiator), a comfortable bed with a warm blanket. I like that the house is quiet - you can't hear the housemates. There is a necessary minimum for a comfortable stay (towels, dishes, hair dryer, microwave) and a nice bonus is a guidebook about trekking in the mountains. Federic is very pleasant - he answered my questions quickly and in detail

PolandThe only minus is the smell of the damp in the room but it is rather a feature of such a building.
The Holidays Madeira is in the old building and it is the part of tiny old town. You can easily observe local live and enjoy the nature around you. I love São Vicente and levadas there. I recommend this part of the island more than the South. Frederic is so nice, he is really helpful and he is eager to tell you a lot about Madeira. And he takes cleaning seriously :) You can eat on the terrace, you have microwave & fridge. It is simple but I love it. There are only two rooms so it is intimately. It is radiator which is a big plus when you are there during the autumn/winter.
