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...).

IrelandThere is some traffic noise (though this dies down at night).
The property is located within easy walking distance from the old town and the sea-front. The old town has numerous restaurants and bars.

United KingdomThe only thing we wished for was a front-facing balcony view for the Saturday night marina fireworks – though you can still catch a glimpse from the side. 😀
We had an overwhelming and truly memorable experience staying at Blue Sky in Funchal. The property is private, spacious, and very well maintained, with all the kitchen equipment you could need – even some basic ingredients and toiletries provided, which was a nice touch. Looks exactly like in the booking.com pictures as we know some property pictures are misleading. The location is excellent – just a 10–15 minute walk to Funchal’s main attractions like the city centre, marina, cable car, and Santa Maria Street’s lively restaurants (with disclaimer of returning is uphill, not for lazy legs). Despite being so central, the property still feels secluded and peaceful. A special mention to our host, “Marcos” – incredibly kind, polite, and helpful. When we couldn’t find a tour online, he personally helped us book a private car tour of West Madeira with 25 years of experienced legend, friendly, and wealth of general knowledge guide “Terry” and it ended up being one of the best experiences of our trip. Highly recommended for families, couples, or solo travellers. Would absolutely stay again!

Very comfortable , well equipped apartment, close to all amenities. The.liaison before and during our trip was excellent. The option of being picked up from and returned to the airport at a small additional cost was very useful. The balcony and side seaviews were a bonus. The bed was very comfortable.

SwitzerlandThe apartment is really very well maintained in general, but has few tiny inconveniences (i.e. if you turn the water in the kitchen while someone is in the shower, the shower water runs cold, etc.), which did not really spoil the good overall impression for us.
The location is great, close to the city center, but away from the busy streets, shops/restaurants are all nearby. The apartment is very nice (even better than we expected from the pictures) and comfortable, clean, has good shower, enough space to relax (a terrace on a sunny side, a sofa, a comfortable bed and a dining table), the kitchen is fully equipped. AC works both for cooling and for warming up. We had a cleaning arranged on the day 4 of our stay here, which we appreciated a lot. We also read in other reviews about the noise from the street, which didn't really bother us much, the apartment turned out much quieter than we were prepared for. Marcos is a great host, helpful and available, the communication was him was very smooth, even during the busy holiday days.

NetherlandsThe elevator was broken during our stay but this was a minor inconvenience for us.
We loved our stay! The apartment has a very homey feeling. You have everything you need, a beautiful balcony and it’s very close to the city center. The parking spot is definitely a plus (but I need to say it required some maneuvering to reach the garage area). Highly recommend, thanks Marcos!

CroatiaThe only downside is traffic noise that can be heard in the bedroom (but only if the windows are open).
The apartment is incredibly cosy, with a lot of natural light, location is amazing (just a few minutes from all the restaurants, bars, markets...). The kitchen is fully equipped, and the balcony is great - sunny since morning till the sunset almost. It is a really spacious apartment that comes with a garage parking space. Marcos is probably the friendliest host you'll find! From the first message, once we booked, to our arrival, stay and departure. He was always at disposal, and we really appreciated it. I would definitely recommend this apartment when staying in beautiful Funchal!

Perfect apartment to explore Funchal - really well equipped and had everything we needed. Really nice to have a little terrace. Very clean & comfy, and brilliant communication from Marcos up to & during our stay. Very useful to have a parking space. Easy walk to the Old Town, bus stops & cable car. We arranged for Marcos to collect us from the airport which was really handy - & great to hear more about the island from our host.

United KingdomThe only thing we struggled with was the noise of the traffic each morning which woke us early.
We loved the apartment with a well equipped kitchen and lovely terrace we enjoyed most mornings for breakfast. It was nice to be met by Marco and shown around, he was very helpful in suggesting places to eat and when the cruise ships were in so aware that the cable car would be busy. The location close to the old town was ideal and easy to walk to bars, shops and restaurants.

CanadaThe property was on a busy street so you can hear the road noise. It gets quieter later in the evening. If you are a light sleeper, it may bother you. We got used to it after a couple of nights. There are some hills to deal with when coming back to the property but that’s part of the for the course in Funchal.
Liked having a full balcony with a view of the surrounding hills and partial ocean view. Property was very clean and well equipped. It’s well located to Centro Funchal. Restaurants are 10 to 15 minute walk away.

Czech RepublicThe portable AC is very loud (as they all are), but what surprised us the most was the constant need to drain the condensed water, as it is very humid in Funchal. Having to do it every two hours gets tiring.
Well equipped kitchen, a balcony with a nice view, great location, tourist guides, smart TV and a very helpful host make for a truly great place to stay when you are in Funchal.
