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.).

UkraineWhen we entered the Albatroz we were immediately captivated by the breathtaking view of the sea from the lobby. The natural pool is truly stunning and has direct access to the sea. Every dip was a moment of relaxation, adding to the hotel's overall sense of tranquillity. The restaurant exceeded our expectations with its delicious cuisine. Every meal was a culinary delight, complemented by impeccable service from the friendly staff who anticipated our every need. Here we found the perfect blend of natural beauty and luxury, creating memories that will stay with us long after we leave. We'll be back! :))

United KingdomDue to the location nearing the airport, it smells gasoline quite often, which is a bit worrying. Access to public transportation is difficult, hence renting a car is a good way to go about. Room decor is quite dated.
The hotel is in a quiet location, not too many guests made the stay very comfortable. The sea swimming pool is great, and also access to sea swim as well. Rooms are big albeit decor is somewhat dated. Breakfast and dinner in front of the sea is unique. Everything is very good.

PortugalMy stay was absolutely incredible, but what truly stood out was their breakfast. Each morning, I was greeted with a feast for the senses. The breakfast spread was not only delicious but also exquisitely presented, featuring a diverse array of fresh fruits, pastries, and hot dishes. The oceanfront dining experience made it even more unforgettable, allowing me to savor my meal while taking in the breathtaking views. It was the perfect way to start each day of my stay.

PortugalEveything was as expected. Nothing bad to declare.
The first thing that struck me about the Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club was its breathtaking location. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the views from the hotel are nothing short of spectacular. Whether I was sipping my morning coffee on the terrace, lounging by the pool, or enjoying a meal at one of the on-site restaurants, I was constantly in awe of the stunning vistas that surrounded me. My stay at the Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club in Madeira was an extraordinary experience. The combination of the stunning location, luxurious accommodations, outstanding dining, and exceptional staff made it a trip to remember. If you're looking for a place to unwind, rejuvenate, and soak in the beauty of Madeira, I can wholeheartedly recommend this gem of a hotel. I can't wait to return to the Albatroz and create more wonderful memories in this paradise by the sea.
