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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. 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.).

United KingdomBar closes at 11pm. For a 24/7 serviced property this wasn't expected or welcomed. Visited a couple of other hotels for a nightcap & The Vine wins as best overall hotel.... but did have to seek a late night drink elsewhere
Best chocolates at turn down service I've ever had! The tech in the room was very clever The lighting was perfect

United KingdomRoom was a little small but good value. Spa was small and quite limited. Rooftop pool was too cold to sit still in- not sure if this was because it was out of season. Roof top jacuzzi too cold to go in at all.
Overall ambience, comfortable bed, excellent shower, good customer service. Any negatives completely outweighed by INCREDIBLE breakfast- full English, continental, pancakes, fruit and help yourself to sparkling wine. Also great happy on the roof too bar

United KingdomLighting. Gloomy corridors, and ridiculous lighting controls in the room. Bed-surround lighting illuminated randomly during the night and despite my best efforts, I couldn't disable it, so sleep was poor. Occasionally there was street noise late at night - not traffic, people shouting. Not a big problem. I thought it was rather petty to charge €1 for extra tea/coffee.
Everything else was fine. Staff and facilities were appropriate for this level of hotel. The rooftop pool was very nice. (Not great on windy days.) Shower room and excellent bath. Spa facilities good. Steam room very good. Large hot (warm) tub. Decent gym (not used)

United KingdomNeeded hooks in the shower for your towels and the lighting system was slightly annoying at times, sometimes it can be too clever! Nothing wrong with a few switches around, especially in the middle of the night!
Good location close to the restaurants and bars. The Terrace bar was a great place in early evening for a Happy Hour cocktail. Fantastic breakfast served in the hotel. The staff were all excellent and very helpful.

Austriano privacy : open bathroom & toilet ( glass door ), switches for lights... just small electronic buttons, very confusing, hard to see (especially in the dark) ... too modern design! Floors (gravels) very nice but very noisy with the suitcases and very hard to keep clean - especially in bathrooms and toilets. Although, a gem... regarding cool architecture...
a really hip place, but too stylish... lacking comfort. Great roof top infinity pool, very centrally located.

The location in the heart of Funchal is extraordinary. Best place to watch the amazing and stunning fireworks. Roof top bar and -pool, breakfast and service quality in all areas of the hotel are the highlights. A must stay. The Silvester Gala Menu was outstanding.
