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...).

FranceA very subtle quiet sound that the electricity box made in the room.. but I might be very sensitive to such sounds so it's not something to worry about or could be improved instantly.
This was the best place in the whole of Madeira. And probably the best hotel ever. The place is exceptional, cosy, homey, clean, well designed, not crowded with guests. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful. The room was perfect, great shower, great details and extras. Make you feel really welcomed. We swam in the pool. Good temperature for swimming, perfect area to chill,read, enjoy the view. We booked sports massage and it was really good and worth the money. They also gave us bathrobes.The breakfast was exceptional, smoothies, freshly squeezed juice, garden veggies etc. Outside area is also very comfy for chilling. You need to have a car for this place. Some good restaurants around.

United States of AmericaThe heater stayed hot for so long that it was uncomfortable for sleeping at the recommended setting. We had two rooms and the electricity in one stopped working the morning of check out. We could not figure out what was wrong. Construction on the street during our stay - not their fault, just frustrating. Parking was best for a small vehicle.
Nice little place. I couldn't decide if it was a small hotel or a big BnB but it worked. The view was very nice. We could see all the stars at night from our balcony. Breakfast was pretty good.

The atmosphere, the self made “products”, the calmness that the place has

CanadaThe road getting up there isn't ideal, but you get used to it once you've been there a couple days. It just happened to be under construction when we were there, but nothing they can do about that.
We had an incredible time at this gorgeous family-run property. They really go above and beyond to make you feel taken care of. Homemade cake at breakfast, fresh flowers from the garden in the bathroom, and a fresh bag of dried herbs for tea upon arrival. They are really just lovely people. They are inspiring an incredibly sustainable lifestyle we should all learn from. No plastic bags in the garbages, fresh eggs at breakfast from their chickens, homemade jam and yoghurt, and they only do the towels when needed. I will miss seeing them, and the views :)

Loved Solar da Bica. The staff there are wonderful, the room was great. The breakfast was excellent, and I liked that they changed things up a little every morning. The sauna and pool was a real treat after a long day hiking. We also loved the little tuck shop in the reception where you could buy beers!

Czech RepublicThe offer for buying food and water from a "bar" could have more options. Chips and cookies are not particularly good after long day of travel, when you arrive and don't wanna go anywhere else and rest as I traveled by motorcycle.
The place is absolutely beautiful, even it is far from everything (you have to drive to get somewhere). It is like a rural area of small village so not many stuff around but the view in the morning from windows was just spectacular. Staff was helpful and really nice. The breakfast was good enough to get your day started. I really enjoyed the bed, I could sleep in there all day. if you like calm spot with a amazing view, this is your place.

PortugalWe looooved this little family run, boutique hotel nestled above São Vincente. It is a lovely little oasis geared towards relaxation. The staff all very helpful & so kind. We enjoyed a wonderful & much needed massage (we had done the Pico to Pico hike prior to our stay), the pool, the gardens--from which we enjoyed much of the produce at our breakfasts which were fantastic with delicious veg and fruits, homemade jams and yogurt. We stayed 4 nights & from here easily traveled to Santana, Ponta do Sol, Levada walks, the incredible scenic drive from São Vincente to Seixal to Porto Moniz, the Laurisilva Forest (Fanal Forest) and much more! We definitely will definitely stay here again when revisiting Madeira
