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 breakfast didn't have much option, you'd think for a 5 star hotel you'd have a variety of different food. Was not bad, but could be better. Also for the price you're paying per night, the guests should have free parking, but you don't. It's 15€ a day, so you have to find a place to park your car and for such busy roads It's not easy.

IrelandThe hotel was lovely, great facilities the pools were beautiful and usually very quiet a lovely place to relax. The location was perfect once we were there we always walked around Funchal everything was in walking distance except for when doing day trips we just got picked up from the hotel! Breakfast was also great so much choice and available until 11am was lovely for the relaxed mornings!

United KingdomDinners! Unfortunately the food was often lukewarm/cold, there were no clear signs on what it contains (not ideal for a vegetarian) and there were few options or uninspired meals. I wish we ate outside instead. There were a couple of evenings when food was tasty but I mostly felt disappointed. Pool water temperature - way too cold for my taste. At least the spa indoor pool could be warmer but even this one is freezing cold. Some facilities could be renovated/updated - like the spa area.
The location is great, the hotel is situated very close to the centre of the city - works well for walks and next to the sea with amazing views. However, for those who are light sleepers staying in a room facing marina might be difficult at times. On Fridays a ferry comes in around 1 am and there is a super loud engine sound on for quite a bit - it woke me up. But for anyone who is not a light sleeper, I imagine that will not be an issue. Casino-facing rooms could also be challenging as those leaving the casino in the early morning tend to be loud - my parents were woken in the middle of several nights.

United KingdomBoth washbasins in bathroom (room 511) would NOT retain water to wash, or shave. Both basins emptied as fast as the tap was running - with plug in down position!
Superb location. Great sense of space and airiness. Wonderful decor , beautiful flooring throughout with no high steps. Choice of places to relax as there were lots of comfortable chairs and sunloungers . Great variety of food and beverages available for breakfast.

Great location and port view. Breakfast restaurant has excellent view. Nice for business visit or long weekend but not for resort/pool type of holiday. Front desk people were very nice and professional.

SwedenThe interior of the hotel room was a bit worn down and needs replacing. The bed was too hard for our liking and the AC was rather old and difficult to adjust.
The hotel has a great location with an amazing view over the city and the sea. The pool area is great and the hotel have a nicely designed reception and restaurant area. Great breakfast selection.

United KingdomThe hotel although good now needs a complete refurbishment of the bathroom facilities. The shower is old and dated and requires you to step in to a bath. It needs a modern walk in shower. This current situation is dangerous as you can easily slip on the floor whilst stepping out. Please attend to as soon as possible.
Lovely location have been for several years now and enjoy this hotel set in beautiful surroundings.
