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.).

Czech RepublicI had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Positano! The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The views from the hotel were absolutely breathtaking - waking up to the sight of the sea and the colorful town was unforgettable. The location was perfect, and everything was clean and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back again. Thank you for making our stay so special!

United KingdomWe had a wonderful time, but be aware that you will comfortably reach the medically advised step count!
View from picture window was glorious, overlooking mountains and sea. Hotel is in the nicest quietest part of Positano. The hotel was very comfortable, we had a large room with a sofa and a private section of balcony with loungers. Breakfast was served in the garden. The staff were cheerful, friendly and helpful and even voluntarily carried our bags up hundreds of steps. Hotel is gated both from road and beach. Beach is reached by steps.

AustraliaThe facilities were excellent and the view amazing. The staff all had a pleasant and friendly manner. They took care to find out how we were arriving. For us this was by car. We parked where they suggested and strong young men carried them down the hill on arrival. Then up the hill on departure. When it rained we could stay in our spacious room and watch the view. Great location for us too,

AustraliaNothing not to like . Stay was comfortable. The property is a little bit outdated and basic. Could do with some modernisation . Lots of stairs to and fro. But really that’s all of Positano.
Spacious , clean, basic rooms with a nice balcony offering tremendous view, gracious host.

United StatesDimora Fornillo was everything we were hoping for in Positano, which was our favorite place in the Amalfi Coast! We got a room with a balcony looking over their lovely garden and it was worth every euro! The garden where we had very good breakfast and sat out in the evening was absolutely beautiful. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming and provided great advice on various matters: ferry, porters - see below for details - and a dinner at a lovely restaurant nearby ; "Il Saraceno d'Oro" . FERRY: keep in mind that Positano has a smaller harbor and that means that even when the weather turns a only little, there is a chance that ferries will be cancelled. The staff was very helpful in keeping us posted on what was going on with the ferries and assisting us with alternate taxi reservations in case of cancellation. At the end, we were very lucky and got on schedule to Amalfi. LUGGAGE/PORTERS: like most places in Positano, there is a lot and I mean A LOT - as in hundreds - of stairs to get to the hotel. We thought we were travelling light until then he, he so TRAVEL LIGHT! :-) . We did not know but you can contact them shortly before your arrival time and they will try to help you with luggage. On the way out they also recommended that we engage porters to get our luggage to the harbor and - while not cheap (15 euros per luggage) is also worth every bit!!! Grazie Dimora Fornillo per 2 meravigliose giornate a Positano!

United StatesFornillo beach was noted on the website to be 200 steps away. Be advised that it is more like over 300 steps/stairs. The beach is very rocky so I would suggest bringing flip-flops or water shoes.
The room was a good size. The balcony has lovely views of the town and the beach/water. Breakfast in the garden was very pleasant, The hostess was very helpful with travel arrangements, ect.

United StatesThere were a lot of stairs, but this is Amalfi Coast! It would have been nice to have a screen door since there were mosquitos. There's nothing really I didn't like.
The location is between the beach and the town, so it is accessible and a good price. I really enjoyed the breakfast and the beach views! The staff is family and very respectful, plus friendly.

The views were stellar, the staff was so friendly and helpful to make our stay comfortable, the room was spacious for three adults. The breakfast was excellent with a perfect view.
