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):
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.
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.).

Great place , can’t believe it’s only 3* It’s one of those hotels high up and overlooking everything that makes you wonder what it’s like to stay there , and I can tell you it was great ! Free shuttle bus to deal with the hill down to town and back up ! I’d read somewhere that breakfast was only a croissant/cake affair , well it’s not , it’s a comprehensive hot and cold buffet that is most enjoyable .

IrelandThe location was excellent. From our balcony we could see the entire Cinque Terra. While it was approx 1 km above the town, the shuttle bus travelled up and down every hour, until 12.30 at night. There was a beautiful garden in the hotel to wait for the bus and chat with other guests. The staff were exceptional, going above beyond, whenever we had an issue. They took great pride in the work. I loved this hotel and would return there in a heartbeat.

MexicoThe shuttle option is great; the only downside is that it runs every hour, which can be very inconvenient since it's not easy to walk to the hotel. The view was nice even though I didn’t get a full view of the sea I still was able to see some, the room itself was pleasant. The AC wasn’t what I expected. It was 90-degree weather, and the lowest the AC would go was 21°C. I think being able to lower it to 17–18°C would have made a big difference. Another issue was that if the room key wasn’t physically in the slot, the AC would turn off. So after being out all day, you'd come back to a hot room.
They were really nice and always made sure our accommodation was great. The cocktails were reasonably priced and tasted good. We couldn't get a late check-out, but we were able to store our luggage, which was helpful. The bed was comfortable, and the shower pressure was amazing. We had a nice sea view, even if it was from the side. I liked that it was quiet, which allowed us to truly relax. One night, we had a salami pizza, and it was so good. I really do recommend staying here.

United KingdomThe hotel is one of the highest in the village and the road leading up to it is very steep, however an hourly shuttle bus is provided free of charge from the village to the hotel and visa versa.
We had a room with a balcony and sea view, the hotel is perched on top of a hill which provides a fantastic vista during the day and the evening

UkraineIt’s wonderful that the hotel provides a small shuttle to take guests up and down. However, it would be very helpful if the shuttle timetable were shared with guests in advance - perhaps via email. When we arrived, we didn’t know how to get to the hotel and tried walking up with our luggage, which was quite difficult. Fortunately, the shuttle happened to be passing by, and the driver kindly picked us up.
Breathtaking view, great breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, and clean rooms. Highly recommended!

United StatesLocation on the mountain requires use of a shuttle to get to town and restaurants. We liked the separation from crowded town but shuttle was busy with other hotels so waiting 1 hour during peak travel was not ideal.
Clean modern and well appointed hotel. Located away from town up in the mountains. Quiet with cool mountain breezes were wonderful. Staff were very helpful offering assistance and hospitality.
