We booked a holiday home for a 3 night stay in Porto Santo in April
The place was absolutely unfit for habitation.
It was infested with COCKROACHES, Completely disgusting, We had to leave!!
Please do not book through BOOKING.COM.

Better advice might be to check with trip advisor (or similar) for actual customer reviews before booking anywhere with anyone?

Post was from 2019 (since when the poster hasn't returned)!  Your advice still stands for others though, i.e. blaming the booking agent for that type of hotel problem misses the point....

No, the post that revived the thread today was on a different subject about alleged data breaches, but the above quotes are in response to a post from five years ago about cockroaches.

But yes, reopening old threads does lead to such confusion, and some other forums do automatically lock down old ones after inactivity....

Obviously this thread keeps popping up in google, so hopefully at least someone will find the suggestion useful
