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.).

Minor cosmetic issues in my bathroom, but nothing so major it would prompt me not to return. Bed was hard, but that, of course, is personal preference driven
Great proximity to the ruins. Restaurants very close by. VERY secure measures for safety in and out of property. (I actually locked myself out & had immediate response from Dario...much appreciated!)

Bit tricky to find - Map on my phone took me down a few dead-end v narrow side-streets trying to find it. Is at the end of a one-way system. Are some metered parking spaces opposite to unload but parking is a short approx 5 min walk away. Bathroom was v small and door wouldn't close properly but not a major problem.
Lovely B&B, secure, short walk to Pompeii ruins. Room v pleasant, air-con worked nicely & beds comfortable. Friendly accommodating owners, nice breakfast & coffee. Good map provided & owner marked on where the good restaurants & ice-cream shops were which was helpful.

Immediately on arrival we were welcomed like we were home! The family that run B&B Elena could not have been more helpful and friendly which made our stay so lovely! The room was perfect, comfortable, clean and had a lovely terrace - its peaceful, welcoming and in a great location! Thank you so much to Dario and family for helping us before we arrived and during our stay. Your B&B is lovely and we would recommend you 100%. Thank you for making our trip perfect :)

Nothing to report.
Fast and easy check in process The location was perfect because you can easily walk there from the train station: Pompei Scavi. When it comes time for your visit to the Pompei ruins, the BnB is located nearby lesser crowded access gates to the ruins (just look it up on maps and you will see) Your restaurant ptions for food and drink are incredible, about 10 minutes away, so many options. Visit the main church, it is INCREDIBLE!!! Incredible value for your money. Included breakfast is just fine. (From the reviews, Some people expect more, then they should pay more and stay elsewhere) I really, really enjoy the opportunity to stay here and support a local business, run by a family, that is not much different from you or from me: support local small business.

Not a dislike but a recomendation: better variety of breakfast (due to space - maybe something different every day would help). Noise as you can hear everything. But you can take earplugs and you will be fine.
Family is very nice and Dario welcomed us at 2am (due to flights being delayed 2 hours due to Microsoft problems). It's also very close to everything (station scavi, ruins and main centre). They also have a lovely breakfast. I would stay here again and I can recommend it, as everything was very clean too.

After I had booked accommodation then was I only advised of €10 charge for parking car overnight inside courtyard premises. . Still it was better than parking on road outside were I would've been charged €24 but would still like to warned of additional charges before booking.
Location near bars, restaurants and places of interest excellent and within walking distance Good size family room, basic but had what we needed as a family. Continental Breakfast was OK.
