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 KingdomI was disappointed by the lack of a balcony. Also the walled-in patio was uninviting with inadequate furniture. The lighting was cold and sterile, and our bedroom shutters had to stay closed because of the busy snack bar terrace next to us.
The property's location, situated on the corner of a square in the heart of town, couldn't have been better. It was just a 5-minute taxi to the airport, and everything was within walking distance, including nature trails. The bed and bedroom were excellent, and despite being in a busy part of town, the noise insulation was top-notch, ensuring a great sleep. The kitchen was good, and we especially loved the Nespresso machine. The addition of Tupperware was a nice touch for lunch on the go. The host was accommodating and flexible.

AustriaThere was a construction side near by, so it was a little noisy and the concert near by one evening was quite loud. But no issue with the appartment itself.
In the center of Machico, very nice place to stay. We parked the car at the gas station near by, just a short walk (uphill) but well, you‘re in Madeira. The kitchen had all the stuff you need and more (boxes to store and take food with you on a trip, our coffee got filled up…). Really nice and uncomplicated stay - we enjoyed it very much!

GermanyThe property was very nice, with comfortable furniture and a lot of space. In reality it looks much better than on the pictures. The are is very silent and its just surrounded with a lot of restaurants. And the sea is just a 5 minutes walk. We loved to stay there and the staff were super friendly.

United StatesPerhaps some towel racks could be added in the bathroom. As it is, with just a couple of hooks, the towels can’t really dry.
We had a great time at Fort Bay Apartments. The building has been renovated recently and everything is modern and perfectly clean. The location could not be more convenient: in the heart of Machico, one block from the sea, and a few minutes from the bus station. Our apartment on the top floor was well appointed and organized. In the lovely sunny bedroom there was a quirky corner balcony with a sea view beyond the fort. Machico is a charming town and an excellent base to explore the north coast of Madeira and Ponta de São Lourenço. And after a hike you can relax on the golden sand of Machico beach!

The location is perfect, right in the centre, with great restaurants literally opposite the front door. The views are lovely. It’s very modern and clean. It was a perfect base for hiking and trail running in the area and also great in a rainy day to stay in town or in the apartment, cook for ourselves and watch films…

GermanyNothing! Everything was great.
This is the best place we have stayed at during our trip to Madeira. The apartment was all modern, clean and in the very centre of cute Machico - only a few steps from good restaurants, the boardwalk and the beach. The quiet terrace was great for breakfast (which you can grab at one of the bakeries around the apartment). We cannot recommend this enough!
