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...).

PortugalWifi was non existent and not working at all Both doors in room are very tight and struck and need some woodwork attention A coffee machine in the kitchen would be a real winner instead of instant coffee Bed is very obveously a double bed and needs an extra cover as well as better pillows (too soft)
Location is absolutely stunning and magical if you like a mountain location feel Staff are super nice and helpful. Room was absolutely amazing and although the room can do with some improvements I will definitely keep this in mind the next time....

NetherlandsWifi could be updated to meet with other standards in this hotel. Driving access to the hotel is an issue I've read about, but we have stayed here for 6 days and every day we went out and in without problems. Just drive carefully and nothing bad happens.
A very pleasant welcome, a good kitchen, very good cleaning service, a great location. Nothing to complain about. We felt like kings on a throne!

Czech RepublicOur apartment was bigger than we expected, nicely furbished with what looked like a really new furniture and high quality facilities. Room was sparkling clean every day. We were very greateful also for free gifts we were given upon our arrival. Breakfast was the highlight of the day, everything was super tasty! We also tried the restaurant for dinner for 2-3 times, which was good, but not the best we had in Funchal. Staff was very friendly, mainly Mr. Hugo :). There is a parking inside the hotel area, where we never had a problem to park our car. Maybe one note - we received and email upon arrival about directions how to get to the hotel, where it was recommend to use exit 11 when arriving to hotel from airport. I don´t understand, but this exit is further away, and the road is more tortuous. We just used exit 12, which was much easier and faster. The hotel is located at the top of the hill, right next to the botanical garden and cabin that can take you down to Funchal, or you can use the bus to Funchal, which stops right next to the hotel. Since it´s at the top, you have a beautiful view from the room and restaurant, but the weather is much colder here, then in downtown, which is good to think about. I don´t really have anything negative to say about this place, it had everything we needed, was spacious, clean, modernly furbished with great breakfast and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!

The superior room was lovely and the biggest one we stayed in in Europe, so comfortable with a great balcony to watch the moon and see the cruise ships in the distance. If you plan on leaving early for a hike the hotel will prepare you a very nice picnic the night before and I can’t tell you how perfect this was! Sonja, our host, was so helpful with recommendations and made us feel right at home.

United StatesA Wonderful Stay with Breathtaking Views Our stay at this hotel was truly memorable. The room was spacious, clean, and offered everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were incredibly polite, professional, and always ready to help with a smile, making us feel genuinely welcome. The hotel is perched on top of a hill, offering absolutely stunning panoramic views – especially during sunrise and sunset. Getting there can be a bit of a challenge due to the road, but once you arrive, the scenery is well worth the effort. Breakfast was generous and delicious every morning, with a variety of options to start the day off right. While the main dish remained the same each day, the quality and taste never disappointed. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with amazing views and warm hospitality, this place is definitely worth a visit.

The location between the two cable cars and near one of the great gardens, perched above Funchal, a farm with a few sheep and chickens visible from the deck. Helpful, warm staff. Top-notch breakfast. Clean, pretty, comfy room. It looks old, but everything is up to date.

UkraineOur stay at this hotel was absolutely fantastic. I had read many reviews about the service, but I never expected it to be this exceptional. From the very first moments of our arrival and check-in, we were truly impressed. The location is excellent—right next to the cable car, just steps away from the botanical garden, with its own parking and an on-site restaurant. The room was very cozy, and the bed was so comfortable that we didn’t want to get up in the morning. Now I want to have the same pillows at home! Housekeeping was done daily, and everything was impeccably clean. The room had everything needed for cooking, and the breakfast at the hotel was absolutely delicious. The staff constantly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. An amazing place to relax—we were completely satisfied and would love to return!
