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...).

United Arab EmiratesThe apartment had everything thing we needed, including a crib for our 8mo old (upon request). Bed was so comfortable, shower pressure was great, and the balcony was a plus. The host was so nice and responsive too. Best of all the location was central to the corniche, shopping, old town, and dinning. We would definitely stay again!

The location was good: close to downtown and quiet. The property was much bigger than we expected from the pictures. The conditioner worked well. Overall, it was a great stay! And the host is super welcoming, nice, and responsive!!

Amazing location. City centre but slightly tucked away. Windows sound proof. Supermarkets and cafes nearby. Good location for tours to pick up and drop off. Clean and spacious. Even provided new clean towels half way through the trip and gave us free Madeira cake and wine as gifts. Provided shower gel, hair dryer , kettle , teabags and bottled water. Clean sheets. Good WiFi speed.

United KingdomVery good studio apartment , very spacious with everything we required provided in the property, the welcome gift of Madeira wine , biscuits and cake was a lovely touch and much appreciated. The studio was spotlessly clean and in a very central position for us to explore the old town with plenty of shops and eating places nearby. We were in easy walking distance of the cable car, the old fruit , vegetable and fish market and plentiful buses to travel around Funchal and the rest of the Island. One downside was that the taxi driver couldn’t drop us off / collect us at the property due to the narrow streets , also it wasn’t made clear what we could do with items that were recyclable and we didn’t see any nearby bins so we left them outside the room in a separate bag , there was only one channel in English on the TV and no English news channel which was disappointing as the weather was a bit mixed but this did not spoil our holiday and would definitely book the accommodation again.

IrelandRecommended Parking (Santa Luzia Rua 5 Outubro) is 10 mins walk up the hill..although it is €5 for 24hrs which is better value than the one closer by the supermarket €15 for 24hrs. The bed was too low and mattress was a little uncomfortable..not enough pillows were supplied..although in fairness we didn't ask..if we did Jaoa would have got some sent up. I reported one of the patio chairs snapped on the seat and he replaced the chairs the next day.
Jaoa couldn't be more helpful. From sending us the codes for gates, doors, where to go, clear instructions on accessing the keys, lovely welcome with the madeiran honey and nut cake, butter cookies and Madeiras famous wine..The studio was spotlessly clean, we had everything we needed but no toaster..kettle, Microwave, coffee machine and fridge..large size patio with wicker table and chairs.. Any problems were sorted very quickly when reported. Location was excellent, over a restaurant Armazém do sol on Rua do Alfandega..so very central to everything. 5 mins walk from the port where you get the whale watching tour, columbus ship tour, Cable cars, supermarkets, restaurants cafes, piaza, hotels,

NetherlandsWe had a wonderful stay at Tanoeiros Studios in Madeira! The studio was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring the island. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming—he went out of his way to help us by holding our luggage when we arrived early and even assisted us in arranging a rental car, which made our trip so much smoother. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Madeira!

Netherlands-The matrasses were quite hard, and in times uncomfortable. Tip for people who rent cars: parking in Funchal is a nightmare. But there is a good affordable parking garage 10 minutes walking from the apartment, called Parque Santa Luzia (max €4.50 per 24 hours), which had space for the whole week we were there.
The hospitality was amazing. We absolutely loved the welcoming package (with Madeira wine and some expensive local treats), and the host always responded very quickly if we had questions or requests. The apartment is very spacious, we loved having a couch also, and 2 different tables. The bathroom was nice and modern. The location was excellent. You can not get more central in Funchal. Wifi was excellent.

United KingdomThis particular studio (No.12) does not have a view, and like most apartments you can get noise transference from other residents typically when returning late or leaving early to catch early flights etc.
The key reason for choosing this property is without doubt the location, central position for restaurants bars market airport bus, no need for taxis or uphill walks after an evening out. The communication with the owner is excellent with clear instructions, good size studio with comfortable arm chairs to sit and relax with a glass of the complimentary madeira wine, shower is superb.
