“Unforgettable holiday in Funchal”
Our holiday at the Hotel Escola Funchal in November was amazing in every way. Staff were amazing, housekeeping looked after us every day, the reception staff were full of information and extremely helpful. Dinner was limited choice but was excellent quality so much that we ate most nights. The res… more

“Cancelled flight”
Late cancelled flight, booked last minute so wasn't sure what to expect. Friendly greeting by the night manager, helpful and chatty. Room was tired and past its best with chipped paintwork but clean and the bathroom was fine. Breakfast was good and again really friendly welcoming staff. Lovely vie… more

“Ok for our 3 night stay.”
Friendly helpful staff and a good breakfast selection help make up for the fact that the hotel is past its prime. Spacious clean bedroom with balcony had lovely sea view and although functional/adequate, it was a little worn/tired ( eg mattress no longer comfortable). Bathroom again dated but like… more

“Not good value for money. ”
We had a ten day holiday in Madeira and booked on the strength of the good reviews on here. However, the only really standout thing about this hotel are the room cleaners who do a very good job. The rest of it is average at best. Food was adequate, but choices severely limited with no vegetarian… 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There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published.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.
