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.).

United KingdomThe en suite toilet in the room was not very private-glass door that didn’t extend fully from floor to ceiling. This did not make for the most romantic situation!
Large room, great location, fantastic breakfast and great rooftop pool.

CanadaMaybe I'm old but I prefer regular light switches in hotels to you don't need to figure out how they work when visiting for 1 or 2 days.
Great hotel, Breakfast was great in a beautiful room with outside terrace as well. Close to everything but still at least 1 block away from the noise.

Sloveniano funcional closet to put your clothes. shower, the water drainage is poor so you have standing water inside which starts to smell funy after night. hanger for the towel in the shower it’s placed in such a way that towel gets wet. sink sprinkles the water all around it. the entire bathroom/shower looks nice but it’s funcionality is different story.

United KingdomSome parts of the hotel were showing their age; bed creaking, USB ports not working. But very minor as we had a great week and slept well. Our room sadly didn’t face the sea, but given the very hot weather this wasn’t an issue.
Property is very well located near the centre of Funchal, much nearer than most of the other 4/5 star hotels in the hotel zone which are both further away and typical up a few steep hills. It had excellent amenities such as great restaurant, pool, spa treatments and attentive staff. Breakfast buffet was top notch. We were also upgraded to a Junior Suite. The hotel itself backs onto a shopping centre, which proved extremely useful for picking up last minute holiday bits (sun cream, socks, pharmacy etc)

The hotel is really interesting. It's also in the heart of Funchal.

United KingdomThere were a couple of snags in our room - the door stop came out, the hand-held shower was not well fitted and our empty tissues and bathroom accessories were not replaced when they were empty until we made it obvious. Our view was poor. These did not detract much from our overall positive impression.
The ambience and 'feel' of the hotel was very good. All the staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was generally very good and the UVA restaurant was excellent. The room we were given was very comfortable. The roof terrace and pool were lovely.

United KingdomThe vine was a lovely stay for a week!! We booked in advance on Booking.com and so got for a reasonable price. Location, staff and facilities were all amazing. They couldn’t have done enough for us. We were told on arrival that unfortunately the top pool wasn’t working so we would need to go to another hotel to use the pool facilities, at first I was really dissapointed however the hotel upgraded us to a junior suite to compensate, and ran taxis for free to and from the vine to the neighbouring hotel and the hotel with the pool was amazing and just as good if not better than the vines so we had no issue with doing this on sunny days. Honestly would stay again, has a great city vibe and lovely lovely staff that go above and beyond. It was the first holiday I have been on in years that was smooth and comfortable from start to finish. No complaints!
