“Fantastic place to stay!”
My fiancé and I have just returned from staying at Golden Residence for 7 days, would absolutely stay here again! We stayed in building C, the room was lovely and clean, maybe slightly outdated but not terrible. The balcony was nice looking out to the sea. The reception team were always lovely and… more

“Great hotel experience”
Hotel has 3 buildings, A,B,C. A is the closest to the main road Estran Monumental, across the street there's a building under construction what might cause (more) noise. B is in the middle and holds the reception. You can get a towel for the pool and exchange it ones a day, so you don't have to b… more

“Great hotel with amazing views”
The Golden Residence was really a great choice for our days in Funchal. The location is great, on the edge of a cliff near the waterfront with some great sea views up and down the coast. There are plenty of good restaurants and shops within 5 minutes’ walk of the hotel, and about 15 minutes’ drive … more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
