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 reviewThe pool area was very nice and relaxing. It's a close walk to Cea beach. Breakfast was included - really great croissants.
You had to pre-order dinner in the day, which can be difficult because most days we didn't know what time we would be back or if we even wanted dinner. Would have been nice to have lunch options too.

Verified reviewGood food and reasonably priced. Delicious fish dish. Credit to the kitchen staff who coped well with a missing dinner order. The owner, the quietest donkeys and the most placid dog will welcome you.
No glasses at all in the room. WiFi is only available close to reception, not in all public areas.

Verified reviewNot a hotel or resort, but an insanely overpriced “villaggio” (holiday village). It is not common to see dogs & donkeys wandering freely around hotel or resort premises. The “Facilities” section on the booking platform included “beachfront” and “free Wi-Fi,” among others. These are misleading. Not located on the beachfront. For the advertised Ivy Beach, guests must drive or walk 10–15 minutes. Beach parking is not complimentary, and sunbeds cost €20–30 per day (with a 20% discount for guests). Neither the receptionist nor the owner knew the actual beach prices, aside from the guest discount. Wi-Fi is available only in the reception and restaurant area—not in the rooms. This is relevant, as the property is designed like a campsite, with individual, semi-detached bungalows. Pool or beach towels were not provided; only after some discussion with the owner—following the receptionist’s “no towels” stance—were we given 2 extra white shower towels. The room itself was most basic, with a cheap and dirty appearance (e.g., shower curtains, toilet seats, beds and bedsheets, etc.). The walls are thin; you can hear your neighbor snoring and doing other things. Overall, it resembled a 2-star B&B—far below what the listing suggested. (While currently rated 3 stars, the presence of 4 stars on the key holders is a mystery.) There are better options nearby; unfortunately, they were fully booked. After realizing that we had been misled, we wanted to leave after the first night. The owner firmly refused any refund, stating that it was the online platform that processed the payment, not her. However, after I mentioned that I would contact the booking site, she offered to refund 2 nights—not 3. It was 9 AM, well before check-out time. This was rude. When I contacted the booking platform to file a complaint, they offered to reach out to the property—the fact that it would have 48 hours to respond was not exactly helpful in such a time-sensitive situation.

Verified reviewBeautiful setting, very peaceful. The staff were all lovely. The rooms were very clean & traditionally Sardinian. The pool area was great.
As the Hotel is in the middle of the countryside the only option for dining other than eating in is to drive somewhere. We ate at the hotel twice but it was better value & we had much more choice when eating out. The Hotel offers a 7 day set menu of two courses or a few a la carte dishes.
