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.).

PolandThere is no cleaning during weekends. The sink in the upper bathroom was a bit damaged and water was drained slowly. The kitchen could be equipped with a couple of bags of tea, coffee, and sugar - at least some starting set for guests.
Nice stay with a fireplace - location is a bit remote, getting there by other way than Taxi or rented car can be difficult. Apartment is clean, cosy. Neighborhood green and calm. You can walk to "town city" to but or eat something (5 minutes walk). Remember that temperature there can be 4-5 degrees lower than in Funchal. Very nice lady in the reception.

SlovakiaWe absolutely enjoyed staying here. Warm welcome, nicely decorated and comfortably furnished house with a private patio and sun beds. It’s great location, too! Sunday market is a must and Levada to Riberio Frio starting at the end of the village is truly beautiful. Comfortable beds, soft pillows and linens, bath and working fire place - can’t go wrong. The garden itself was very nice and well maintained.

SloveniaThere is not much to do around there and the town itself looks a bit forgotten.
The most comfortable and huge bed on our entire travel. The receptionist was extremely friendly and everything was clean. Kitchen is a bit dated but the style of the house is really nice. The most silent night we had in the middle of the nature. Would recommend if you want to get a good rest away of everything.

This place is a oasis of peace and silence in the heart of Madeira. Full of flowers and blooming trees. The only sound is the sound of the lovely birds! We had an 2 floored apartment with a fireplace and everything you need for a longer stay. We loved our stay and can recommend it

United KingdomIt's only a small thing, important if staying with young children, is consideration for a central clothes washing facility in future, would be handy. That's it really, no other negatives for us.
The location, with its quiet and green surroundings (perfect for a family break) and the friendliness/helpfulness of the staff.

Czech RepublicWe were here in March and the place was bit humid.
Very nice accommodation with an easy access to several interesting places. House is spacious and you have there everything you need. It is higher so be ready it is more cold than seaside. There is nice fireplace. We used it every day during our stay. Plan your stay for Sunday so you dont miss village´s Sunday market. It is worthwhile and much better than the one in Funchal.

NetherlandsNothing- it was all as expected and lovely!
This was such a charming apartment! The grounds were beautiful, the beds were very comfortable, and having both a huge bathtub and a fireplace was super on a cold and misty night. The owners were wonderful and gave us a great recommendation for dinner in the village. The village is tiny but there is a stall not far from the hotel gates where you can get fresh bolo da coca bread every day - the man who makes it there is a lovely gent. We really loved our stay here and would come again. It was also great that within 15 minutes we were down the mountainside and at the airport checking in. Bonus!

Czech RepublicThe shower was a bit obsolete, it was a bit hard to control the temperature of the water.
The room was very spacious, the bed was huge and comfortable. In our experience, sometimes there is an issue with non-hotel accommodations being quite cold but here they turned on the hearing every afternoon and there was a fireplace in our room which made it bearable. Staff was very kind. The location is very peaceful and quiet.

GermanyThe Kitchen was a bit small and dated. But all was working, so just a minor point.
The large bed was very comfortable. The central heating was working very good, we always had it warm. And in addition to that there was also a fireplace. This all together was perfect, because it compensated for the weather ;) Location is also perfect for visiting both mountains and Coast. To Pico arieiro its less than 30 minutes, to Ponta de Sao lourenco even less.
