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.).

CanadaI can't think of anything.
We really liked staying at Cecilia's place. She was a fantastic host who gave us all sorts of information about Madeira and good suggestions. She was always willing to be of help. She gifted us with a bottle of wine and a lovely cake!

NetherlandsThe appartment is very small; the sofa is uncomfortable; the dining table is too small; the stairs to the bedroom are a bit awkward.
From the terrace you have a magnificent view over the ocean at sunset. It has good access to Paul da Serra with its splendid walks along levadas to waterfalls.

LithuaniaWonderfull ocean and valley view. Cute and well equiped appartment, with sleeping room upstairs. Nice and helpfull host Cecilia. Quite, just some village noise. Good connection to all island and levadas. Close to Rabacal tunnel, very recomended. Close beaches and shops. Of course, you need a car, it is usual in Madeira.

PolandIn our apartment, doors to the bathroom were thin and harmonica type - you should consider this if you go there as couple or more people, to feel comfortable.
Miss Cecília is exceptionally kind, she welcomed us with bottle of wine and cake, and made us another cake during our stay. The view from the terrace is beautiful. I loved to stay there and would stay again if ever could. It has great value to the price ratio.

FinlandThe host Cecilia was so helpful and nice. When I arrived to the house there was small Madeira wine and homemade cake waiting for me. I felt very welcome. The apartment was clean, had a fully equipped kitchen and a balcony with gorgeous sea view! big plus was that I was able to check-in little bit earlier due to my bus schedule. If traveling without a car like I did, the place is easy to reach as the Rodoeste ( E.R 222) bus stop is right next to the house👍🏻 The best part was that the house wasn't too close to the Calheta tourist area (Sandy beach) where more larger hotels are located, but still had restaurants and good hiking routes nearby.😊

United KingdomI think (because of consistently bad weather) the towels smelled very odd (mildewy), likely because they hadn’t dried fully after washing (because of the intense humidity). I also wouldn’t recommend the apartment to older people with lots of baggage as there is a steep hill to where you park your car and narrow pathways and stairs to reach the apartment. That said, we really loved this place and the host is excellent. We hope to stay there again, during better weather!
The host was absolutely lovely and very attentive, the apartment was well appointed, spotlessly clean, with all one could need. The view would be excellent, unfortunately the weather was atrocious (consistent rain and gales), so we didn’t get to make the most of it.
