How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewFrom initially booking the accommodation Marco couldn't do enough to make sure we had all the information needed from us arriving in town a few hours early we were able to drop our bag and leave them safely at the main office.
Everything was as described, so there is nothing we didn't like.

Verified reviewOur experience was amazing from arrival. Short walk from the train station and Marco who checked us in told us all about the area, weather forecasts and even gave us a map with local recommendations. Room was perfect and up to date. Modern Tv and bathroom. It’s the little things that make the big differences and after a few bookings fell short of the mark, lo Scoglio was perfect for us. Beach towels, coffee machine, ice machine, local advice… other properties could definitely learn from them. We were here celebrating our honeymoon and they even provided a celebratory drink. Would definitely return in the future.

My room was right next to communal area, so you could hear people in the morning, making coffee and on call’s very early in the morning, it would’ve helped if the door was closed to that area, but it never seem to be.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay! The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and extremely clean. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and we had everything we needed. Marco was incredibly attentive upon our arrival, taking the time to explain everything and share great tips for tours and local restaurants. The common areas are charming and cozy, and there’s even a lovely spot with a sea view! The location is fantastic—just a short walk from shops, the train station, and the beach. Highly recommend!

Verified reviewWould 100% recommend this stay! First, Marco, the host, was exceptional. He met us by the property for check in, gave us a map of the towns, explained everything with the most detail. Extremely helpful and friendly. We saw him pass by the following days of our stay and he always made a point to ask how the trip was going, give us recommendations, etc. The location was perfect, close to everything. Room was super spacious, bed comfortable, clean and great bathroom. Loved that they gave us beach towels too. Lastly, the terraza space made our trip so much better. We would sit outside after dinner with a bottle of wine and beautiful view — just the perfect spot to unwind away from the crowds but not in your room.

Verified reviewLocation was brilliant as was the communication with Marco. He was willingly to help and share his knowledge of the cinque Terre and its restaurants. The views amazing and the bed and pillows were comfortable.
It was tricky the last night with a group of girls being loud until 1.30am. The first two nights were perfect.

Verified reviewWe loved everything about our stay-- the weather was a little too hot to enjoy the outside spaces, but they were so lovely, that we were sad to not be able to use them. We had the room with the upstairs space which offered just the right amount of privacy, and the AC was awesome. Marco was amazing greeting us and showing us around, and the location, for us, was unparalleled with a FABULOUS view.
I loved everything.

Verified reviewWhat a great location! Marco was the most helpful, gracious host!! (Thanks for carrying our bags up the stairs!!) Perfect setup for our two mother/daughter couples. Each couple had their own room but we then could meet on the amazing balcony to plan our day or relax and unwind at the end of the day with some limoncello The view was spectacular. The ice-maker was a welcome delight! Close proximity to the beach clubs, the train station, and many restaurants and bars.

Verified reviewThe location, next to the beach, was fantastic. We paid for a room with an ocean view and that's exactly what we got. The host, Marco, was exceptional in giving us tips and recommendations not just for Monterosso al Mare but for all of Cinque Terre.

Verified reviewGreat spot, tidy rooms with everything needed. Excellent staff.
A little bit of confusion about check in. We have travelled a lot and incorrectly assumed that when we arrived at 10pm we would be able to self-check in. That was not the case and a staff member had to stay to meet us. We appreciate him doing so and accept it was our mistake but would suggest making this explicitly clear on the website.
Hi Ella, thank you very much for your review:) I would like to point out that on our main page of booking.com it is clearly written that check-in is between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM and that all guests must provide an estimated time of arrival in the city. I copy and paste what you can easily find written online: " Check-in From 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM You must inform the property of your arrival time in advance. " Apart from this information that you may not have paid attention to , we have a picture with the checkin times also in our photo gallery and we start the booking confirmation message with ‘ checkin between 14:00 and 18:00 ’ . Since each property has different house rules and we value human contact and believe in hospitality, we do not offer self check-in, as we try to offer a great service by doing all the checkin in person, so we can better help our guests during their stay, I open the office at 9am and I am available all day until 6pm. since we are not a 4 star hotel with receptions 24/7, but a simple landlord we think we offer a more than adequate time to satisfy our customers Regards Marco
