Very good communication prior to arrival, clear instructions. The hotel is well located in Monte area, next to the cable car and Monte Tropical Garden. Room was spacious, comfy, well maintained. Breakfast was excellent with repeating but wide choice of good quality food. The restaurant itself is excellent, we dined a few times, perfect seafood, big portions at fair prices. The staff was more than friendly and accommodating - to mention just a few - Sonia, Hugo. Strongly recommended, would definitely go back again

Wait staff and housekeeping were attentive/kind & the room was generally clean & nice, however it had a distinctly unpleasant smell. (My son thought it smelled like cat pee; I thought it was mildew.) While staff we met face-to-face were nice, the management company was oddly antagonistic; almost passive aggressive. Also, for a few days of our stay, the hotel was in a cloud/deep fog, whereas down in Funchal, it was generally sunny. A waiter said this was common. TBH - not great value for money.

A lovely small hotel situated above Funchal near the main cable car station. The views over Funchal to the sea are very special. Exceptionally friendly, kind and helpful staff. The breakfast is generous and varied. We had a comfortable and well equipped suite which had its own small balcony and a patio shared with a neighbouring suite. There is a useful inexpensive bus #22 that runs from outside the hotel into Funchal. There are a couple of things to be aware of. 1. The hotel is up on the hillside - if the cloud is low, you may be in it. 2. Madeiran roads can be narrow and winding with steep gradients. This includes the route to the hotel. The property sends helpful directions but take it slowly when you approach for the first time. It becomes much easier when you get used to it. I would happily stay at Babosas Village again.

This is a 5 star unique property. Rooms are perfect with nice view. The staff is awesome and make you feel at home. The restaurant of the hotel is the best we found in Madeira.

The hotel is very clean, & the apartment was spacious with everything we needed. The view was lovely, we enjoyed watching the cable cars going up & down. The maid even put away our washing up that we had left to dry! Unfortunately we could only have the amazing breakfast once, as it didnt start until 8.30am, when we had trips booked for the day. Our only negative comments are the bed was firmer than we are used to, & there was a slight smell in the room, which an air freshener was doing it's best to hide.

This hotel is a breath of fresh air... One of the best I have stayed in.. everyone is sooo helpful and the place is spotless. It's calm it's chilled and it's completely ideal for a relaxing break. The breakfast is beautiful.

My wife and I stayed for 7 evenings at Babosas and we could not have been more pleased. Of note was the excellent staff, all of whom were exceptionally friendly and made every effort to meet our expectations. The room was very clean and the bedding was extremely comfortable along with luxurious bathroom linens not found in many hotels. We are already planning our dates for our 2024 Madeira holiday and will be returning to Babosas. Thank you to all the staff and management there!

There were ants found in our accommodation due the weather. The room was really nice and all facilities are available in the room & hotel. We've had a really good breakfast and the staff was very kind.

We had the suite which was huge and very well equipped. The whole place was spotless and cleaned daily and all the staff we met were so helpful and friendly. The breakfast is huge and delicious and the restaurant is great for dinner too. The cable car is less than a minute walk and goes right to the seafront and the hotel is on a little square just across from a kiosk selling beer, coffee and cakes with awesome views over the valley. For the money I doubt you'd find better in all of Madeira. 2.5 days was not enough time on this beautiful island and at such a lovely hotel. Book it now, book the suite. You definitely will not regret it. I can't wait to go back. Thank you Babosas Village for such a lovely stay :)

Excellent property great location staff friendly and helpful. Food superb.

Veey pleasant stay. Staff were marvelous. Scenery was breath-taking. Located up the mountains. So, driving was at first hard esp when one is used to driving in wide roads. There are many hairpin curves. If u don't rent a car there is a bus, number 22; last trip going up is at 11:30 pm

The staff was so very kind and I really enjoyed my stay. The food was amazing, I wish I had dined in more!

Food, hospitality and service was outstanding, and even if you are unable to stay here it is worth the ride on busses 20, 21 or 22 from Funchal just for the amazing food. If you are staying overnight then you are in for a treat with a wonderful breakfast that will last you the full day. The only downside which the hotel can not avoid are the barking dogs and noisy cockerals.
