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 reviewStaff was super helpful, they stored our bikes securely for our stay and was ready to help anytime with everything. The hotel is right on the beach which is perfect if you want to go for a swim There is a few choice of restaurants nearby for drinks and aperitivo. The breakfast was very good with a lot of choice to pick from. The view is incredible
The place is a little remote, so every restaurant is a bit more expensive.

Verified reviewNothing.
Dirty. Dated. Rude staff. Overpriced. Smelly rooms. Awful breakfast.
Dear Guest, we don't agree with your review and we would like to provide our version of the events: you damaged both the entrance and the bathroom doors, the bedside table, the telephone and the curtain. and you also stained the walls with the ink. Furthermore, when our staff addressed these issues, your reaction was aggressive and defamatory towards them, despite their efforts to protect the integrity of the property in the most peaceful way possible. In addition to this behavior, you chose to leave at dawn without paying the outstanding balance and the cost of the damages. Best regards

Verified reviewView is beautiful
The beach is right in front of the hotel, but it’s open to the public, and sunbeds cost extra – even for hotel guests. Parking isn’t included and costs €25 per day, which feels excessive for anyone already staying at the property… We were charged a €100 (!!) fine for alleged damage to a wardrobe caused by a hair styling device. At that same moment, they also tried to charge us again for parking – even though it had already been prepaid! And of course, just after we paid… the staff offered us a “compensation”: a cheap bottle of wine… For three whole days, no one bothered to replace the shampoo and conditioner in the room and the water costs extra.
Dear Mr. Dor, thank you for your message but, we would like to clarify the situation. The extra charges (like the parking) were clarly listed during the booking process and are also repeated at check-in for full transparency. Regarding the damage, we found that the table where the mini bar is, had been seriously burned by hair straightener. The cost of the replacing the new furniture was actually higher than € 100,00 but, as a gesture of goodwill (we know you didn't do on purpose), we decided to apply a discount. Additionally, we kindly gave to you the bottle of wine as a complimentary gift , offered because we were informed it was your birthday. We appreciate your understanding, Best Regards

Verified reviewThe location was amazing, great value for the money and beautiful view. The room was nothing too special but was perfectly comfortable and very large.
There were some extra expenses like the parking.

Be prepared to pay extra costs ( car parking, sun loungers, beach shower ) which I would think would be included for guests of hotel, considering price of the stay , breakfast was basic

Verified reviewWe had a First-Class Experience at Alfonso a Mare from the moment we arrived. Our stay was nothing short of amazing – first-class in every regard. It's clear that some reviews must be describing an entirely different hotel, as our experience was overwhelmingly positive. The location is simply paradise, an idyllic setting that instantly transports you to a state of relaxation. From the welcoming reception to every member of the hotel staff, attentiveness was a consistent theme. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and genuinely couldn't do enough for us throughout our three-night stay. Our room was a beautiful, clean, spacious, and impeccably well-maintained, complete with a large bathroom. The daily towel changes were a thoughtful touch that further enhanced our comfort. Dining at the hotel restaurant was a highlight. As it is a prime beachfront location and has a predominantly fish-based menu, my dislike for fish presented absolutely no problem. On both evenings, the incredibly accommodating waiter collaborated with the chef to create custom first and second courses specifically for me. The result was delicious, high-quality meals, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. We were so impressed that we made a point of personally thanking and complimenting the chef at the end of our stay. This willingness to go above and beyond, coupled with very reasonable prices, truly made our dining experiences unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend Alfonso a Mare most highly and will definitely return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!
Perfect in every way
