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.).

FranceThis place was perfect - no complaints!
Amazing location, apartment and host. I’d recommend for anyone to stay here. Carlos is exceptionally professional and answer all of our questions quickly. The apartment itself was perfect. located right in the heart of Funchal with the most stunning view of the Madeira mountains while still being quiet and safe at night.

PolandEverything was great
Super cozy and lovely apartment in the city center. You can find everything that you need, and even more - for example such a small things like phone holder (useful to take with you for hike in the mountains to record beautiful videos;)). Great location - big supermarket nearby, city center with all restaurants and attractions. Parking place in garage saved us a lot of time, as it is quite difficult to find free space in surroundings. Kudos for host, he provided very detailed instructions and recommendations. Lovely compliment for check in (local vine and cake) cheered us up after late arrival

Amazing property. Very clean, stylish, spacious, and INCREDIBLE location. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Carlos was very responsive and assisted with everything. There was even a bottle of wine upon my arrival!

AustraliaThere is nothing that we didn't like. Everything was perfect. Carlos could not have done more to make our stay comfortable. Carlos is an exceptional host.
Our entire experience was fantastic. Carlos (the host) was in touch well in advance to organise everything and was extremely punctual and efficient at all times. The apartment is moden (true to the pictures) - comfortable, cool, stylish, clean and well equipped with so many little extra touches! Whist everything was amazing the ultra comfortable bed and huge television and dream kitchen to cook in, are standouts. In addition, Carlos (and Delia) went truly out of their way to give us local knowledge etc. and was always just a phone call away. As a host, apart from his efficiency Carlos is incredibly sincere, warm and generous as a person. We have travelled a lot through so many different countries and cities and can truly say our experience was 10/10!

The place is perfect! Great location. Comfortable. Private. Spacious. Has everything you need. The veranda is huge. Oh, and the host.....wonderful person who could not have been more helpful! The place is as advertised....and maybe a bit better. You are right in the heart of oldtown Funchal. ...walk out your door to restaurants and shops if you want to pick up some food and drink for back at the apartment.

A very nice studio within a block or two from many main areas in Funchal. The apartment was nicely furnished and had everything we needed and then some. The host, Carlos, was absolutely wonderful: super friendly, communicative, accommodating, helpful, and went above and beyond to make our short stay great. He also let us use a dedicated parking garage spot, which was a bit terrifying to use (need a small car) but very helpful not to have to search for parking. Would highly recommend this place and host!

IrelandTip: if you take the stairs up or down, just remember to turn the lights on, as the first floor lobby area receives no daylight at all. By the time you reach it, it's too dark to find a light switch.
First, the host Carlos is the best. I arrived late at night, Carlos greeted me and had left beers and wine in the fridge, and a frozen pizza in the freezer in case I was too late to get food out. He even gave tips on how to cover the light from the microwave and cooker, in case they disturbed. During the week Carlos checked in to ask if I needed anything and invited me for a drink, which as a solo traveller I greatly appreciated. The location could not be better, right in the centre of the city. The main shopping streets, old town, farmer's market, bus station, cable car, port area are all within 5 minutes walk. The apartment is very modern and well equipped. I barely used the cooking facilities, but the kitchen had just about everything you could need to cook up a feast. The terrace is huge, and has great views up the hills. Having said all that, don't book this place; I need it to be available the next time I visit Madeira, because it will be hard to find anywhere else like it for such amazing value! Muito obrigado por tudo Carlos!

Its also just a few minutes walk from the no. 4 Mercado bus stop (for Aerobus). Carlos was a great host helping me with questions about vegetarian /vegan places to eat etc. The apartment had everything i needed and i would highly recommend it as a great base for your stay in Funchal.

United KingdomThe only problem we had was that there was building work going on in the building during our stay, which was quite noisy between 8am and 6pm.
We had a great stay at Carlos' apartment. Carlos was a great host, and was very friendly and helpful. We stayed during the World Cup, and he even paid for access to the games on the TV in the apartment (which are not available for free in Portugal) for us. The terrace is a great place to spend time and enjoy the drinks kindly provided by Carlos. The apartment is fitted to an excellent standard, the facilities are great, and it is well stocked. The shower, two basins, and TV are especially nice, and there is air conditioning. It feels bigger than it looks. The location is great - an easy walk to everything in central Funchal including the bay area, supermarket and the old town. We did not use the garage access. Thank you, Carlos! We look forward to returning and going for a poncha with you.

United StatesThe check out process proved to be a little tricky. We had to get out of the parking garage first then one of us run up to the room to drop off the keys. Perhaps a drop box in the parking garage may be a better option. I had to drive around the block a few times waiting for my spouse to get back down as cars would come up behind me in the alley way so I was forced to move. The price is higher than other places but the facilities and host were great and in the end I was okay paying a higher dollar amount.
Carlos was an awesome host and communicated with us throughout our stay to ensure we were enjoying our stay, providing us recommendations. The parking garage is in a close by, separate location and a little bit of a pain to get in/out (sorry, in North America everything is spacious), but it worked well enough. The apartment was clean and modern and facilities were fantastic. Location is great and lots of restaurants, shopping, oceanfront nearby and walking distance away.
