Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

BelgiumExcellent apartment, perfect for two. Its location is ideal, in the city center and walking distance from major attractions of Funchal. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious. There were basic utensils in the kitchen, and there was also a laundry machine and a drying rack. The staff was also super friendly.

AustraliaCheck in was terrible. We contacted the property from the airport to advise we were hopping into a taxi and on our way. Told to call back on arrival at the property. We did so and then calls went to a voicemail in Portuguese. We stood waiting with our luggage outside the front door for 30 minutes and calling with no response from agent wondering if we were even going to get inside. Somebody eventually turned up to let us in and take the bond. No explanation or apology. Also, there was a lack of kitchen accessories, not even a tea towel to dry a dish. Not good enough for a 5 night stay. The leopard print bed cover was filthy. Bathroom has mould on ceiling. I would not stay again.
Spacious location, elevator, large bed

NetherlandsSmall thing missing a fan.
Most appreciated that André came to us and helped us with the smooth check-in and finding the private garage. We were very glad he arranged a reserved parking place at the Madeira Plaza. Saved us time looking for a free parking spot. Couldn’t be a better host. Thanks again André. The apartment incl a big balcony is located in an alley a few steps away from the Do Se Cathedral, coffee bars, restaurants, shops, and center of Madeira. Furthermore nearby touristic hotspots, promenade, and shopping mall incl a super mercado. Only a small thing missing was a fan. During the nights we slept with the inner doors open. Cools down the apartment. And some noise from the garbage truck in the very early morning. But I am a light sleeper. Some earplugs would helped. Surely would recommend this location. Maybe until a next time.

United KingdomCould definitely do with more mugs and wine glasses. Only one decent sized mug for tea/coffee. The shower door in apartment D doesn’t close properly and you end up with a puddle on the floor. There is a piece of paper rammed in at the top of the door to stop it sliding off. A shelf in the shower would be useful to put shampoo/shower gel on. Some mould on the bathroom ceiling too.
Central location. Very good sized studio apartment with separate kitchen/dining area. Very clean.

PortugalThough it's clean and in good condition, the decoration is very drab: gray photos on gray walls, gray curtains, gray bed cover, gray bedside lamps. A little bit of color and some simple, tasteful interior design would make this place cheerful and inviting. Also, they should replace the bathroom extractor fan, which is as loud as a motorcycle.
Great location in Funchal old town. The apartment is spacious and clean, in excellent condition, with a fully functional kitchen. The staff is friendly and helpful when you need them. Though the restaurant outside can be noisy, they open late and close early. And since the apartment faces pedestrian-only lanes on both sides, there's no traffic noise, so it's quiet and peaceful at night.

United KingdomI would have liked to have a couple of bowls to have my yoghurt for breakfast and sharper knife. The hairdryer was not fixed to the wall properly. A hook for the hand towel in the bathroom would be useful. But just minor things.
Perfect location, close to everything and quiet in the evening. The apartment was clean. Nice touch offering chocolates, bananas and wine as a welcome gift. The staff were easy to contact and very responsive. The hand blender was very handy to make smoothies. Good choice of pillows. Plenty of storage space. Security door made me feel safe. Would definitely recommend 👌

United KingdomPillows quite hard memory foam so would be nice to also have a choice of softer pillows. The hairdryer would overheat and lose power after 5 minutes use.
The property is in an excellent central location with cafes and restaurants nearby and lots to explore. Only 20min drive from the airport. The kitchen is very well equipped and has everything you would need. We were kindly left some chocs and wine. Great tv and able to relax and watch Prime tv after a day out day exploring.

GermanyLiterally everything is in walking distance. We couldn't have hoped for a better location in Funchal! We were a group of friends, who booked several apartments. Our studio apartment had everything we needed and was super clean. The 2-BR apartment of our friends was huge and also very tastefully furnished. The Madeira wine and delicious chocolates which welcomed us were an extremely lovely touch! The communication with the staff was friendly, helpful and uncomplicated. We can definitely recommend this place!

United KingdomThe bathroom could do with updating. The high table was difficult to eat at. There was a lack of access to an outside space.
It was decorated nicely. The bed was very comfortable. The position was right in the middle of town but down a nice quiet street. The staff were perfectly lovely and very helpful.

NetherlandsWe're quite used to hard mattresses, but these mattresses were really hard and difficult to sleep on.
Apartment was located in a perfect location in the city center. Very clean space, apartment got everything you need! There is a parking spot available for 10 euros per day in a private parking garage. Would recommend this apartment to friends and family. It's located in a street that's not too busy, so we didn't experience any noise during the night.

United KingdomNo problems. Everything was as we would want.
Perfect location near the Cathederal. We were met by Ana, who was very helpful and introduced us to all the facilities. We sat in the sun on the balcony when we arrived and drank the small bottle of Madeira Wine that was kindly left for us. We would certainly stay again when we need a place in Funchal. The apartment was very clean and the kitchen well equiped, although we didnt use this as we were only there for one night.

United Kingdom- Check in was a nightmare, we arrived around 9pm (after a very long day of travelling) and were stuck outside on the street for over an hour as nobody could let us in and the host was busy at a sports game. Why they don’t just opt for a combination box with keys is beyond me. - Wouldn’t recommend if you have a car, parking is a nightmare (but if you do, I’d suggest going to amarante reis car park - it’s a 24/7 multi story about 5 minutes away) - No air conditioning so would get quite sticky in the summer months. Good fan provided however.
- Location is exceptional - Apartment is good for the price, so a good pick if you’re on a budget - Host seemed nice and aiming to please

Czech RepublicThe instructions said to call when we arrived at the airport, so once we were out of the customs area, I called the number - they asked 'Are you at the door?' and when I said 'No, I'm at the airport and calling, as you said' they went 'So call us when you're at the door' and hung up. I *love it* when I'm given incorrect instructions in advance... The cleaning service was supposed to come in the middle of our 8-night stay. When they didn't turn up, I called up their number and asked when they would come. I was told they would come the next day. Nobody turned up for the rest of the stay. We had no fresh towels, no toilet paper, no cleaning. When asked at the end of the stay, the lady said no cleaning staff came because 'they were busy'. The restaurant under our windows was thankfully quite quiet in the evenings, but every morning before 6am there were either garbage trucks or trucks unloading produce and being quite noisy, people shouting...
Good central location in Funchal. Restaurants, shops and public transport within easy reach. Complimentary small bottle of madeira and bananas when we checked in. The apartment was quite spacious.

NetherlandsIf you like silence, it will not be a place for you. But we were aware it would be noisy since we are in the downtown. There is a washing machine in the apartment. It's a shame that there was no washing powder or liquid on sight. And the most problem was to hang our washed clothes as there is no drying rack or anything like this. We also missed some hooks to hang the clothes and towels in the bathroom. It was quite inconvenient. But these are all small things.
Central, comfortable beds, equipped kitchen with espresso machine. We were grateful for coffee and tea amenities. It was a nice gesture to find a bottle of Madeira wine, some fruit and chocolate bonbons. The communication via booking was very smooth. On our request we got a transfer to the apartment. The driver was very friendly and welcoming. We loved Funchal very much. We were happy we chose to stay in the apartment for the whole week. The island is not very big, so with a rented car you can explore it during the day and in the evening come back to your cozy apartment and go out to one of many restaurants situated just on the same street.
