Pros:

Соотношение цена- качество 10/10, виды из любого номера будут невероятны. Расположение в горах, откуда можно легко добраться в любой конец острова быстро.
Персонал дружелюбный и отзывчивый, если вам что-либо необходимо, просто спросите их. Сам номер был немного староват, но никаких проблем с этим не возникло. Размер комнаты достаточный, ванная комната большая. Кровати были удобные. Открытый балкон. Остались на 2 ночи и даже не догадывалась что после первой ночи будет уборка номера. Так же бесплатная парковка и завтра включён.

Cons:

Если кому то интересно в первые сутки телевизор работал, на вторые нет, так же как и Wi-Fi , вряд-ли в этом был виноват отель, но меня это не беспокоило

Pros:

Nádherné místo v horách. Dali jsme si bufetové večeři za 20 euro/ osoba a jídlo bylo moc dobré.

Cons:

Zápach cigaretového kouře z koupelny / ventilace. S otevřeným oknem celou noc to ale šlo a krásné výhledy byly podstatnější

Parfait pour des randonneurs
Pros:

L'hôtel est très sympa idéalement situé sur les randonnées notamment pour ceux qui traversent l'île tout près du col de Encumeada.
Ce qui est pratique c'est qu'il y a un buffet pour le dîner pour un prix raisonnable et un petit déjeuner buffet donc on peut repartir en étant bien restauré. à savoir pour les randonneurs l'hôtel propose des paniers pique-nique à emporter. Il y a un petit bar juste à côté avec plein de tables extérieures avec une vue sur la randonnée.

A peaceful stay in the mountains
Pros:

The view from the room over the valley and the feel of being totally in the nature

Cons:

The hotel is a bit outdated in its look. The rooms are clean and it has lots of potential but is in need of a touch of modernisation.
We went there hoping to find easy access on foot to some trekking routes - However only a few routes are at easy reach on foot and we could not get much advice from the staff. The first day there was a wedding - and we had to have dinner in the lower ground floor. The following day we were in the main hall and more hikers arrived which was great to exchange information about the routes.

Stopping there for one or two nights to hike the PR 17 is a good idea.
Pros:

The location was ideal. We hiked the PR 16, 17, 22, and PR 1 trails from this spot; the property is also close to Ribeira Brava beach, which is perfect for a swim after a day of hiking. The property is showing its age, but the room was very clean! The staff are also very helpful.

Cons:

There was no air conditioning, so we had to leave the door open to air out the room; the buffet was mediocre, and the dishes were overcooked and dry.

It was ok.
Pros:

Great view.

Cons:

Everything is a bit old.
We were there with kids, some toys or playground it could make big difference.
If you do not have car is difficult to get anywhere.

Comfortable stay
Pros:

Spacious and comfortable. We stayed here as part of our Madeira crossing. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Amazing view from our hotel room.

Cons:

The food quality and taste were average at best and overpriced for that. Limited vegetarian options at the dinner buffet.

Pros:

Das Frühstück war überraschend gut.
Das Hotelpersonal war im Vorfeld unserer Ankunft die einzigen Menschen (auch trotz weiterer Nachfragen an anderen Stellen), die uns auf den gesperrten Wanderweg PR1.3 hingewiesen haben.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war derbe in die Jahre gekommen.

Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Gostaria de manifestar o meu desagrado relativamente ao serviço prestado durante a festa de casamento no dia 08 de Agosto 2026, realizada no Hotel Valley View.
Infelizmente, a experiência ficou bastante prejudicada pela atitude da chefe de sala, que demonstrou, ao longo do evento, uma postura extremamente antipática, mal-educada, arrogante e pouco profissional.
Para além da forma desagradável como se dirigia aos convidados, foi particularmente desconfortável assistir à maneira como tratava os restantes empregados de mesa, falando com eles de forma ríspida, desrespeitosa e, em alguns momentos, de forma que considero absolutamente inadequada para um ambiente profissional.
Também foi evidente uma constante tentativa de apressar o serviço, transmitindo aos convidados a sensação de que era necessário terminar rapidamente cada momento da refeição. Num casamento, onde se espera que os convidados possam desfrutar tranquilamente da refeição e da celebração, esta postura acaba por retirar muito do prazer e da tranquilidade do evento.
Compreendo que a organização e o cumprimento dos horários sejam importantes, mas isso não justifica uma atitude arrogante, agressiva ou desrespeitosa, seja para com os clientes, seja para com os próprios funcionários.
Considero que um estabelecimento desta natureza deveria primar pelo profissionalismo, pela cordialidade e pelo respeito, especialmente num evento tão importante como um casamento.
Espero que esta situação seja devidamente analisada pela direção do Hotel Valley View e que sejam tomadas medidas para evitar que outros clientes tenham uma experiência semelhante.
Lamento ter de apresentar esta reclamação, mas considero importante dar conhecimento da situação, uma vez que o comportamento da chefe de sala acabou por marcar negativamente uma ocasião que deveria ser exclusivamente de celebração e felicidade.
