| Where is the apartment? |
| Google knows! You are sent directions the day before arrival. See also the main property descriptions and look at the photos. Do NOT use postcodes because they refer to a delivery area not a street. |
| I cant find directions and the lock box code in my email or booking.com |
| This information is also sent by SMS and WhatsApp or you can access it under Guest Information on our website. |
| How do we check-in? |
| Check-in is online - we recommend at least 48 hours before arrival. |
| Why do we check-in online? |
| You booked contactless arrival and are NOT met in person. |
| Why do we need to provide our identification details, date of birth etc? |
| All guests staying in licenced tourist accommodation in Madeira must provide these details by law. |
| Can we provide our identification details by email or booking.com messages? |
| Booking.com do not recommend sharing personal information on their platform because it is not secure (unlike our website). |
| How much is tourist tax? |
| Up to €2 per guest per night in Machico and Funchal only. |
| When is tourist tax paid? |
| After check-in and before arrival. Booking.com sometimes collects it earlier. |
| How is tourist tax paid? |
| You are provided with a link to pay the tax by card on our website. We do not accept cash. Booking.com collects it for some guests. |
| Is tourist tax paid everywhere I stay? |
| At present tourist tax is paid only in Funchal and Machico. |
| I have an early flight. Can I drop my bags off before 15:00? |
| We are sorry, but we dont have secure/monitored luggage storage. |
| I have a late flight. Can I leave my bags after 10:00? |
| We are sorry, but we dont have secure/monitored luggage storage. |
| Do you provide a shuttle service to/from the airport? |
| We can book at taxi for you but you can probably do so cheaper using booking.com or Bolt! |
| Are towels provided? |
| Yes, for use in the apartment (not on the beach). |
| Are bed sheets provided? |
| Yes. Extra bedding is also available. |
| How soft are the mattresses? |
| All double beds have expensive firm orthopedic mattresses to prevent back injuries. The single beds usually have slightly less firm mattresses. I am sorry but we cannot provide cheap soft foam mattresses but we do provide mattress toppers. |
| How comfortable are the sofa beds? |
| Obviously sofas and sofa beds are not as comfortable and are narrower than the corresponding single and double beds. All our sofa beds are adequate to 1 person to sleep but only some are suitable for 2 people (see details on properties below). |

| Yes in small pieces only. Never flush condoms, sanitary towels, baby wipes or similar. |

| Yes - and an ironing board! |
| Does the apartment have a hair dryer? |
| Yes. |
| Is there heating? |
| Yes. Some apartments room thermostats in the bedrooms and heaters with remote controls in the living room. Use the +/- button to increase/decrease the temperature. Click here for more information. |
| Does the apartment have a dehumidifer? |
| Yes but in some cases this is part of the air conditioning rather than a separate unit. |
| How do I cancel? |
| Contact us if you booked directly, otherwise contact the website you booked with. |
| Will I get a refund if I cancel? |
| If you cancel more than 7 days before arrival you will normally get a full refund. |
| Where can I park? |
| Most apartments have parking nearby - see main property descriptions. |
| What should I do if there is an electrical or plumbing problem? |
| Report any problems as soon as possible by WhatsApp (+44 7879 495105) or Email (admin@madeiracomfort.pt). Text messages in your native language are always better than phone calls. Please include a photo if you think that might be helpful. Please do NOT attempt any repairs as you are not insured! |
| What happens if I lock myself out? |
| Please contact us by WhatsApp (+44 7879 495105), SMS or Phone (+351 961 307 054). Text messages in your native language are always better than phone calls. We keep spare keys nearby! |
| What restaurants do you recommend? |
| There is a yellow information booklet in the apartment (also available online). |
| What is the best way to get around? |
| There are cheap and frequent bus services in Funchal and Machico but not around the North Coast.
Taxis, Bolt and private tours for a half or full day are good value. Most guest staying on the North Coast hire cars. |
| Where are the best nightclubs? Best sports bars? |
| Madeira is not known for it's night life. There are some clubs in Funchal. |
| Where are the best beaches? |
| There are yellow sandy beaches in Machico and Calheta as well as a black sandy beach in Seixal. If you want to sunbathe then especially in the Winter months, Madeira is probably the wrong destination for you! |
| Which weather forecasts are best? |
| We find this website quite accurate https://ipma.pt |
| How do we find out which trails and levadas are open or closed? |
| This is the best site we have seen. |
