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...).

United KingdomUnfortunately the cleanliness of the rooms we felt let the hotel down. Our parents kept finding rubbish items that had been left from previous guests that hadn't been cleaned away. Furthermore, although cleaners went in daily, dirty glassware etc wasn't replaced and toiletries weren't replenished. In addition, although we had requested sheets to be changed, our daughter's cot sheet hadn't been changed which was soiled however it was eventually changed upon informing reception.
Staff were very friendly and really interactive with our 11 month old daughter. Facilities were good although could do with a slight freshen up. Food choices were good and a range of restaurants to choose from.

United KingdomNo-one seemed to dance to the disco except for a couple and us ! Took a while to manage the air con. in our room. Dinner was not as good as the breakfast, although there was a variety of foods to choose from.
We loved the swimming pools, the ocean view, a large room, and the garden. Outside the hotel there was a lovely walk along the cliffs with sea views. Good breakfast with a huge variety to choose from.

United KingdomThe set up of the buffet area, the hot service was a bottle neck and the coffee machine at the exit door is a safety issue. New towels would add a touch of luxury
The location was scenic and easy to walk or bus into Funchal.

United KingdomOur room on the first floor did not have a decent view facing the hotel opposite. Also, the hotel room amenities although good were slightly dated. There was no body lotion or creams provided in the bathroom. The flush was not great and needed to be flushed twice everytime.
The service was exceptional and the staff were always helpful. Location of the property was perfect - right by tye seashore with good access to the promenade.

United KingdomDidn’t like the rooms at the side of the hotel. Didn’t get the sun until late afternoon. The buffet dinner was like a school canteen and we didn’t like the atmosphere in there.
Buffet breakfast was good. We walked into Funchal but may be too far for non walkers. Buses available just outside hotel.

big buffet at breakfast with lots of food to choose from, the room was a good size but the bed was not the best, the pool to be honest in 2 weeks of been there i did not use it once, i didn't get the chance.
