We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomOnce you have orientation of paths and buses the Villa is very accessible. Make the effort to do so because it pays off.

IrelandThe walk to and from the bus stop could be challenging when we were very tired - no fault of the villas location, but to be aware that you need to climb steps for 15 mins to get between the square and villa. Because we weren't too pushed on doing lots of sightseeing, we were happy to spend more time relaxing in the villa and exploring the immediate area - however if you plan to sightsee, taking the local buses to make connecting ferries/buses could be challenging (we missed a kayak tour because our bus was late, though we were at the bus stop 30mins early - buses run once an hour), or are concerned about expensive taxi prices, or if you are not renting a car/scooter, this may not be the best base for you! We loved it, but it may not be for everyone!
The apartment was much bigger than I expected, which was a nice surprise! It was so peaceful and relaxing, with an incredible view. I'm sure many people visiting the Amalfi coast don't get a view quiet like it. We were looking for a place that was away from the crowds, and we got just that! For a small town, there are some absolutely fantastic restaurants nearby - try them all! The pistachio gelato from Caffeteria Mansi is delicious. The villa was very comfortable during one very stormy and rainy day. We were able to make food in the kitchen and chill out watching Netflix for the day! We are avid walkers, so this was a great base for us. We ended up getting buses to Ravello and Amalfi, and walking back to avoid the madness at the bus stops, haha! The pool was always a welcome treat when we got back after this. Giovanna was very helpful with any questions we had. I would recommend organizing the airport transfer as this will save any hassle (and money!) getting too and from the airport. There were 2 very sweet cats at the villa who greeted us every day too - as a cat lover this was a bonus! We also very much appreciated the small gift when we were leaving. :)

NetherlandsThe property has no negatives! It was superb to be able to park on site. For the area, one should know that parking in the different towns is limited, but it is manageable if you plan your visits well.
Arriving at Villa Laura was like entering a dream. After an hour drive from Napoli through the winding mountainroads to the cute historic town of Scala, we parked the car in the shaded area of the Villa, with magnificent view on Ravello and the Almalfi coast. We were kindly welcomed “home” to our wonderful and spacious apartment Anna by Giovanna. Seeing the view from our terrace and windows was simply jaw-dropping, every single day! The apt had everything we needed, the bedroom was comfortable and cool, the kitchen was well-equipped and we loved drinking our moka-made coffee and enjoying breakfast on the terrace. The swimming pool area with relaxing lounge chairs was marvelous. Visting the nearby towns and sights Ravello, Amalfi, Positano, Pompeii, and enjoying the delicious meals altogether made for a wonderful mother-daughter vacation and memories. But MOST of all we loved and will remember the incredible hospitality of Aurelio, the most gracious and kind owner/host one could imagine! We felt like family in his Villa Laura, and recommend his unique place to everyone who loves to experience the best of the Italian life and people. Grazie mille per tutti!

United StatesNo room service during our stay but overall everything was good!
The host was very nice and helpful with any questions or restaurant recommendations we had during our stay. In the end, they even gave us a small souvenir which was very sweet.

United KingdomThere were too many noisy people staying there. The villa is divided into 4 mini villas and each can take at least 4-6 guests, given the very small size of the pool, this is just too many - we didn’t feel we could swim once during our 5 day stay. There were lots of barking dogs in the area and they seemed to bark incessantly at night. The most difficult aspect to our stay however, was the diabolical journey to and from the villa - the map suggests that it’s 52 minutes to travel from the villa to Pompei for instance (34km) but what it doesn’t tell you is that the first 25km is travelling down endless hairpin bends and narrow roads, which made travelling anywhere from the villa very challenging and most definitely not convenient!
The view was beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. The parking was very convenient.
