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.).

IrelandIt was quite noisy - traffic and noise from outside. From inside - people walking on the wooden floors above our apartment. Also people coming in and out the apartment block door. We were on the first floor and unfortunately I'm a light sleeper.
Excellent location. Very clean and spacious.

United KingdomNo complaints at all but would advise that there is no lift and if you cannot climb stairs easily then not probably not for you.
This apartment was large, comfortable, well resourced and in the most wonderful location for flower festival, music festival and a short walk to reach the old town and other cultural areas. Close to wonderful restaurants and easy access to busses, taxis and cable cars to view the island. Overlooks a beautiful municipal garden. Would highly recommend.

PortugalThe floor needs to be substitute with a brand new - it gets very noisy during the night whatever someone walks through. Watch out with the floor after taking a shower, since it gets very splippery.
Location is absolutely incredible. You have a huge house with a lot of amenities.

SlovakiaThat we didn’t stay longer :-(.
The place is enormous. 3 floors, literally. So it was an amazing suprise, it is an old building with unique atmosphere. Very very well equiped kitchen, it looked truly cosy and clean. Beds were comfortable and the views from bedrooms and terrace were stunning. And the location is great too, we walked from the building straight to the Carneval on the main Street. One of my best accomodations ever.

IrelandThis is NOT about the property itself but it was frustrating to be getting mixed messages and communication. The description of property facilities in relation to parking it says - Private Parking is possible at a location nearby (reservation Needed) and costs €5 per day. However when I contacted the property I was told this property doesn’t have a parking place. When I questioned again stating what is on the site I was given the name of two car parks near by but I would have to reserve myself. When we arrived at the Lodges I read in the Welcome/ information folder in regards to Parking- “in case you need a  place in the car park. You must ask us directly so we can provide you with an access card and location plan. This service has a daily cost of €4.50 is also stated that the parking card should always be left in the mailbox of your apartment at the time of checkout.” I called the person responsible for Our check in and she asked me was it already booked. When I say no she told me she would contact the reservations team and they would call me. I heard nothing else further. We did get ourselves sorted with a 24 hour car park 10 minutes walk away for €4 per day. We could have paid €9 per day at the one 2 doors down but it opens 8am to 8pm and we were leaving at 4am on the last day.
Spacious apartment that is very nicely furnished and up to date. The photos are very accurate. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. Good pressure in the shower and plenty of hot water. The location is excellent. The Lodges are in the heart of the town facing a beautiful park and within easy walking distance to the supermarket and many wonderful restaurants. It was very quiet at night.

GeorgiaThe location is perfect, in front of big Garden in Funchal and is basically in the heart of the city. The house has an amazing, cozy vibe and has everything you need to have a great stay. Loved the high ceiling and the well lit rooms with windows everywhere. Definitely will stay here again if end up in Madeira. Highly recommended

NetherlandsCould have a bit more kitchen supplies for cooking and the rug could be cleaned.
The location is in a nice part of town, with lots of great restaurants nearby. For us it was the perfect spot to explore from. The apartment is more spacious then we expected it to be from the photos. We didn't meet the staff, but they were very responsive on whatsapp and I when we wanted to get the private parking last minute they arranged it quickly.

AustraliaThe main issue we had were the extremely creaky floor boards throughout the apartment. It was so bad that it gets on your nerves. Every step you take makes a very loud creak. If you need to go to bathroom in the middle of the night you can’t do this without waking your partner . I understand the owners want to keep the integrity of the original building by keeping the original floors but I feel that I wouldn’t stay again unless the issue were fixed .
The property is in a perfect location. It is very large , with original features of the building . Bathroom is huge with good shower and water pressure, has his and hers sink. Bedroom has aircon
