Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaWe arrived very late because out flight from Terceira island was delayed 3 hours. We were able to communicate with the staff at Almo do Pico via WhatsApp and email (we didn't have SIM cards that supported cell service on the island). They were very helpful and understanding. They just left the door key in the door lock for us. We completed the official check in the next morning. We asked if there was a store nearby where we could buy some hiking poles for our trek up Pico Mountain. They loaned us two sets of poles for free that had been left by prior guests. Excellent service. Nice private cabins. Beautiful setting. Great breakfast.

United States of AmericaAt night the room got a ton of bugs in it on the floor (not flying or biting, just...eeech). I eventually found some bug spreay by the door and that helped take them out but I wish they'd prepared me for that (it was never mentioned). The wifi wasn't working well for me. And the location is challenging, you're way out away from restaurants and such.
This is kind of a "get out in nature" kind of place, a bit minimalist but with lots of nice public seating areas (indoor & out), a pool, and it has a restaurant on-site that's open a few nights a week. My room was fairly sparse but roomy and had a kitchenette in it which would be great for self-catering. They do offer a cocktail bar, which is nice. It's a few minutes' walk from a supermarket, which was convenient. There is breakfast, nothing super special but handy to have.

Portugalcheck-in and check-out schedules. check-out is at 10h30, which is a bit soon, I would say. But again Inês tried to make it as comfortable for us as possible.
The peace and quiet and the fact that Inês was super nice and always trying to find solutions to our issues.

GermanyWe had a wonderful stay at Alma do Pico. The residence is just amazing, ist's perfectly located a bit outside of Madalena center, but not too far away. We found it perfect for starting our trips around the island. The residence itself is also so beautiful and the view to Faial ist just gorgeous! But what was even better was the friendliness and helpfulness of the people there. We felt very welcome and everyone was so considerate to make our stay as good as possible. The breakfast every day was so delicious and generous and they prepared a special vegan dish for me every morning! We also had dinner in the Atmosfera restaurant which is a part of the residence and can highly recommend it. Don't miss it! :-) Furthermore, we were helped with getting a rental car and we also booked a massage per the service, which was also amazing. In short, we cannot think of anything that would have made our stay more pleasant! A big thank you to the whole Alma do Pico Team 🥰

GermanyAll good, nothing to complain.
Cute little houses in the middle of the woods. Especially cosy when the rain comes. Supermarket nearby so you can use the kitchenette. Best about the accommodation is the Staff, though. Fluent English and very hearty people that can help you with everything (lots of information about the island, helping to plan day trips, grabbing you a rental car etc.). Can only recommend, very enjoyable stay. :)
