Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

FranceThe room was not clean when I entered. The fridge is very noisy. There are no easy parking solution around.
Location is very good, internet is good. It's big enough and have what you need for a short stay. However I highly recommend to not spend more than 5 days in the island Madeira, it's too small and pricy for what it is.

United States of AmericaThe room I booked showed 2 twin beds, but we arrived to one king bed instead. This made sleeping difficult for my travel partner. Also we suffered with a horrible septic/sewer odor in our bathroom that was not addressed during our stay after we reported it. That was the reason I gave low score for facility. The seating (wood couch, chairs) was uncomfortable also.
Loved the location! In the city center, very safe and easy walking distance to sights, buses, and grocery store. Apartment was very quiet and secure. The window faced the square, which was lovely and gave nice light to the room.

GermanyMany minor damages, wouldn’t have been a problem but with charging a deposit it felt a bit weird as a „good renter“ to be treated as renter who would leave the place a mess. Also you didn’t check the apartment in the end 🙈. So it made me a little uncomfortable to be honest cause it felt like the deposit may be only requested individually for there are no notifications about it ahead of booking and for it not being a luxurious apartment but a common one. I’m really thankful to have had this place for a very spontaneous and for me affordable booking but more than 90€/night is far too much, cause you can’t only charge for location. This is a friendly feedback! But for me the price needs to be in relation more, cause shower leaked, there was no shampoo, not oil/salt/pepper as a friendly basic for the kitchen, it wasn’t perfectly cleaned (still ok) and for the damages on the walls. I want to emphasise again that I mean no harm whatsoever and I appreciate all of your help but it hurts me a little cause for me 90+ € is a lot lot of money and compared to a whole Quinta with huge garden and private pool in Funchal it’s not in relation at all (still charged the same). It is a reality on Madeira but after all you are the people of Madeira who could change this „crazy housing or renting situation“, no offence whatsoever but it is all related, booking and renting, people making up numbers.. Long story short message. Thanks and please consider my feedback for further guests. ❤️
It is a large room, enough space, great view of largo do chafariz, very friendly, very quick replying staff, immediate help online and in person, nice interior/colour concept

The location was fantastic. In the centre of the historic old town. You could walk everywhere. Close to the sea front. Great shops, excellent cafes and restaurants. The apartment was roomy and very comfortable. Also extremely affordable. I highly recommend Esmeralda Holidays Apartments!

NorwayThere was only one wine glass. Also, the ventilation in the bathroom could be improved. Except from that, we were super happy about everything.
We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel in every single way! The location is perfect if you want to stay in the city centre of Funchal. The apartment was cozy, with nice furniture, a comfortable bed and a practical kitchenette.

PortugalThe street that the room was facing was loud at night
The main address I was supposed to stay was unavailable because of unexpected circumstances. However they immediately transferred me to a nearby hotel (Pier House) with a very similar room. Overall the staff was very kind and helpful, and the room was clean.

Austria- they want 100€ deposit from you but you dont get a receipt - you hear everything that happens outside of the door - even when window closed you can hear some noise from the plaza - slightly smelled like canal all the time - no possibility to put stuff in bathroom - no broom - old hotel hair dryer which heats up and turns off - one of the mattresses felt pretty "done"
+ location + fast reply time of owners + nice style of the apartment + coffee machine + the view

South KoreaWe struggled a bit finding parking because there were no parkings around apart from the street itself so I’d recommend the property to have an agreement with different parking around and make the stay smoother. They should replace the AC machine because it seemed a bit old and it kept switching off every 30mins aprox.
The location of the property is magnificent, walking distance everywhere and just 10 minutes from the beach. The facilities are very good, including a washing machine and a well supplied kitchen, the minimalist decoration makes the place modern yet cozy. It’s a good value for money
