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 reviewLovely owner Lovely location Parking available at bottom of about 20 steps Beautiful view Basic but has everything you need Breakfast was toast and cereal
The bed and the noise The bed made so much noise just laying on it And there is no sound proofing between the rooms so you can hear the room next door every word and every bed roll which wasn’t ideal

Verified reviewRoom was clean and tidy. Owner was easy to communicate with and made everything so easy.
Only small issue is that the property is slightly loud with other guests.

Verified reviewThe hosts were extremely helpful. Most of the restaurants were closed because of the season, the host found one that was open and drove me there. Above and beyond expectations.
The location is on the edge of the historic center and the link that was sent to get there routed me through the historic center. That got me stuck because of the very narrow streets and one way system. The host had to rescue me. Clearer arrival instructions would be better.

Verified reviewThe hosts are very nice people and friendly. They greeted us and handed us a parking permit for a spot right in front of the property (on the street, we could see the car right under our room's window). The property is very clean and well organized. There are three units in this property sharing a common area designated as the breakfast space. Each room has its own bathroom, a fridge, and a bistro type table with two chairs. At least that's what we had in our room, the "Oscar Wilde" room. Milk, water, butter, yogurt were placed in the fridge in our room. We found lots of bathroom supplies. The property is very close to Maratea's downtown. Loved the fact that there are no city taxes after October 1!
There are lots of stairs from the street level to the entrance in the house.

Verified reviewI had a great stay! Everything is tidy and well organised. Breakfast prepared per room, coffee and tea machine. They had a parking for my bicycle. The location is fantastic, with nice views and walking distance to the historical centre of Maratea (without many climbs).
The croissants were a bit dry but, that's a detail.

Verified reviewWe enjoyed a warm welcome by the host who made sure we felt comfortable throughout our stay. The whole property was spotless clean and our room was comfortable with everything we needed for a short stay plus the amazing views. Unlike many BnBs we experienced in Italy there was an actual breakfast room with humble but nice variety and fresh croissants on top of that. Maratea is a little gem and La Giancarla BnB made our stay there perfect.
Grazie mille

Verified reviewIt was a very nice facility with a great view. The host was very friendly and responsible. There were espresso machines and a lot of snacks provided in the public area. The room is comfortable and the bathroom is very clean.
The breakfast only provided a croissant per person, everything else were prepackaged snacks on the shelf.

Verified reviewThe room and bathroom were very clean. The bed was comfortable and there was a good shower. The shared breakfast room was well equipped. The B&B was a short walk from the centre of the old town of Maratea. Giuseppe was very helpful with advice and recommendations.
There was nothing I didn't like. Just to note for anyone who hasn't previously visited Maratea, the old town is up the hill from the port and you need to drive to get there.

Verified reviewThis is a great property, spotless and well run! Giuseppe was very helpful with directions to the property and with steering us to the few restaurants that were still open during the low season. The breakfast was typical Italian with a croissant and fixings, with coffee, tee, and small snacks always available. I would definitely stay at this property again.
