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):
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.
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.).

United StatesPositano was experiencing higher than normal heat and the AC struggled to keep the temperature in the apartment cool. It was fine in the living and kitchen space, but the bedrooms were warm even with the internal doors open.
The property was great for our vacation time in Positano. The outdoor balcony was amazing with views overlooking all of Positano. The property had AC, full kitchen and washing machine for convenience. The hosts were incredible and provided video directions on how to get to the property and a ton of other valuable resources and recommendations for our stay. The hosts communicated with us promptly and were the key to make this a great first visit to Positano!

AustraliaAll really good !- we like the welcome hamper but i was worried about using the Italian coffee espresso on the induction cook top. The Drip machine was all good, maybe just a simple Nespresso ?
Breathtaking ! - amazing local knowledge and assistance in meeting us with the porters to find the apartment and friendly tips about the Town were no trouble ! The WhatsApp videos from finding the property to local knowledge of where to where to shop dine and walk were first class. Don't hesitate to book.

AustraliaThe apartment could have been cleaner, just minor things, we think maybe the housekeeper ending up rushing as we arrived about an hour early to drop our bags and decided to sit on the balcony and wait rather than head back out into the Summer heat. We told her not to hurry but this is possibly why a few things were missed. There were two chests of drawers in the double single bed room but only 2 or 3 drawers were available to use - it would be great to have a bit more storage space so people can unpack their luggage for longer stays. The wifi was a bit patchy, but when it connected it worked well.
Manuela sent us very comprehensive instructions on how to get to the apartment from the ferry, which was really helpful and appreciated because the port area is mayhem. We walked up to the bus stop and caught the interno bus, then carried our bags down the stairs to the apartment. It was manageable for us but we are young and relatively fit, if you have any mobility issues I would recommend organising the porters. The host's son Andrea met us when we checked in, he was very helpful and friendly. Location is fab - you can walk down to Spiaggia Grande and Fornillo easily (walking back up is not so easy! I always took the road for a more enjoyable experience). You can also easily walk further up the main road to a great viewpoint of Positano (and a delicious limoncello spritz from the van!). There are quite a few nice restaurants and coffee spots nearby, also the bus stop is just up from the apartment (about 40 steps) which was very handy. I caught the bus from here to Nocelle to do the Path of the Gods walk, we also caught the bus to Sorrento from here at the end of our stay. We loved the balcony and spent a lot of time enjoying meals, a drink and relaxing on the sunloungers out there, even when it rained. The air conditioner worked well and if you open all the doors it will cool every room down. We didn't need to use it too much, at night it was better to open up the windows and let in the breeze. We cooked meals in the kitchen, we found everything we needed and the dishwasher was great as it meant we didn't have to waste vacation time washing dishes. The apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed, it was also great to be able to do some washing as this was the middle of our trip. We liked being a bit further out of the main part of town, it was always nice to come back to our quiet apartment at the end of a busy day fighting the crowds.

New ZealandOur stay was 100% perfect.
This property and host were amazing. Incredible views and once we got our head around the roading system in Positano it was easy. Manuela was quick with assistance, especially on our final day when the ferry was cancelled and she had us booked on a taxi immediately to Naples for a fraction over the cost of the ferry. The house was perfect for our family. Good seperation when needed and great mini mart and cafe less than a minute away. Easy walk down to the water and simple bus ride back up at the end of your day for only 1.3 euro.

United StatesThis was one of our favorite stays on the Amalfi Coast. The pictures do not do it justice. It is beautiful here and really spacious. The outdoor patio is huge. And the views are incredible. We have never stayed somewhere with such incredible views. There are a lot of steps to get around, but that is what Positano is known for! We were well prepared for it and honestly, it wasn't even bad. Everywhere you look is so pretty and interesting- it distracts you from how many steps you are actually taking! We were able to walk to the main downtown area easily as well as the main beach that we had reservation at. There are plenty of places to eat and drink at nearby as well. The hosts of this beautiful place are incredible. If you go during the touristy months (June-September) the crowds of people are unbelievable. There are so many people everywhere it's impossible to catch a bus anywhere because the buses are so small. That being said it delayed us significantly getting to the place (the hosts provide excellent directions to get there by the way- there's nothing you can do about it being busy/crowded!). The host's son waited for us at the place even with us being so late and walked us through everything once we arrived. He made it very welcoming and relaxing. They also booked our ferry and transporters for our luggage! I can't say enough great things about this place. Please book! You will not be disappointed :)

United StatesThe beds and bedding were not very comfortable. Americans are all about their sleep so when on vacation it is SO IMPORTANT to have a decent night’s sleep. My suggestion would be to consider investing some money in great quality softer mattresses, pillows and sheets! Also, the coffeemaker could use an update. Everything else was good. About the location: while gorgeous views from the property, the description states 950 ft. From beach is “as the crow flies.” Do not be misled, as it is quite a hike. There is a bus called Interno, but fills up quick (especially in summer) so we ended up walking back up the hills and stairs to the property a few times. That part is a bit daunting (especially in July!) but it was probably good for us since our diet consisted mainly of pizza and pasta! If you don’t mind the possibility of walking back and forth then you will probably be fine.
Our hosts, Manuela and Andre were fantastic and so so helpful throughout our stay. Had waters waiting for us in the fridge on arrival which was appreciated after our trek up to the property. Andre, Manuela’s son checked us in and helped us with any questions we had. Kitchen was well-equipped and it was so nice to have a washing machine to do some laundry. Loved the spacious deck and the gorgeous views! Decent size bedrooms and bathrooms. A/C was pretty powerful, but there was only one only in main kitchen/living area but since the house is fairly small, it does cool down the entire home if you keep the bedroom doors open. Quite a few good restaurants and mini markets within walking distance from the house which was great! Posides cafe for breakfast is a must-do as well as Saraceno d’Oro for delicious pizza. Also, the interno bus which goes around the city drops off and picks up very close by the property.

United Kingdomthe beds were a bit uncomfortable
The apartment was fully equipped with every thing we needed, it was lovely and spacious, and the terrace was really beautiful to watch the sunset every night! the apartment is located on the Fornillo side, but it only takes about 20 minutes to walk down to the main beach if following the main road (avoiding the steps !) or about 15 using the stairs down by Da Vincenzo. it was a beautiful stay and the host and her son was so lovely and helpful! would definitely return.
