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 reviewGreat location with a sea view, very spacious rooms, breakfast in the yard, very warm and friendly host. Great location if you want to do kitesurfing in a less crowded beach. Bicycles for guests - nice to take ride to nearby bars and restaurants.
The place was great but you do need a car to get there. Wifi was not the best but with a view like that who needs internet anyway :)
Thank you! ❤️ see you soon

Verified reviewThis villa is a gem by the sea. When we arrived from the airport,it was windy and the kite surfers were having a ball. Giovanni our host sent us a video for self check-in and the place was easy to find. The room was spotless. We had some exploring to do and came back late in the evening. The car parking on the premises was a blessing. The next morning we woke up early and I opened the balcony onto the most peaceful sight ever... The sea shone like a mirror and the pier , little boats tied up, it was so serene! We took a walk towards the salt mills and the salt pans, met some lovely people on the way. ....and then the greatest surprise of all.... Giovanni presented us with the freshest breakfast ever, fresh from the bakery, calzone and panini con panelle, and fresh watermelon and goodies from the pasticceria. A breakfast served with love from the heart. After a relaxing night in the most comfy bed and pillows with fresh linen, this breakfast was the cherry on the cake! Giovanni made contact ahead of our arrival and asked for allergies. That was very thoughtful from the host. We will definitely return when we will need to unwind. It felt like paradise and an easy 17 minute trip by car from Trapani airport! Well done Giovanni and thank you for hosting us!
Everything was super, even the gardens!

Verified reviewThe guesthouse is the perfect place to take some rest from the city life and enjoy some quite days by the sea and in nature. From the room you have a beautiful view towards the Bay Area with some fishing boats and kite surfers enjoying the water. The breakfast was delicious. Internet works great, and you can even sit in the big garden by the olive trees to get some work done. The kitchen and appliances is accessible even if the hosts are not there. All in all a perfect spot I would love to return to.
I wish I would have had more time to stay longer and actually try out one of the kite schools around the guesthouse!

Verified reviewVery kind hosts who gave us useful tips about the surroundings. The location is spectacular, right next to Stagnone Nature Reserve and Marsala sunset. There is also secured parking in the yard. Breakfast was average.
The rooms are old, especially the bathroom, which smelled of sewage.

Verified reviewThis b&b is a little rough around the edges, perhaps even rustic, but the beds are comfortable, the shower is hot and the host is magnificent. The breakfast is generous and filling. We stayed here as a family and would absolutely come back. Grazie, Giovanni, for the hospitality (and the language lessons 😜). 🫶 Do not miss a sunset bike ride past the salt pans and windmills. Go north to the waterside restaurant with overpriced drinks (worth it for the view, we went twice).
Thank you so much for your honest and detailed review! We are happy to know that you found the beds comfortable, the shower hot and the rustic atmosphere of our welcoming B&B. It is a pleasure to know that you appreciated the hearty breakfast and the warmth of hospitality offered by our team, especially Giovanni. We are happy that you also found the time spent with the language lessons useful! We are happy that you had a nice family stay with us and that you would definitely come back. Thank you for also mentioning the local activities not to be missed, such as the sunset bike ride and the restaurant with the breathtaking view, despite the somewhat expensive prices. tall. We truly hope to welcome you again in the near future for another memorable experience!

Verified reviewWe really enjoyed our stay at Giovanni's property. The property exceeded our expectations and we regret that we planned only one night stay there. The building is secure and gated, the location is simply amazing- just across the quiet road from Marsala Laguna with the most stunning sunset views. The property is surrounded by beautiful gardens, our breakfast was served outside by the beautiful olive trees. The building itself is full of character and interesting details. Our room was good, furnishing is basic but adequate, the room was large with access to the shared balcony and a corridor leading to the bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioner worked well, which was important considering the temperature outside and inside. The breakfast was nice, fresh sweet and savoury bakes from the local bakery, fruit, coffee and juice. Jovanni's very hospitable, communication with him was easy and quick. Overall we are very pleased with our stay, would recommend it to everyone and would definitely come to stay again.
everything was fine
