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.).

The breakfast was perfect. Amazing scrambled eggs and bacon and then the classic Italian breakfast of cold meats and cheeses etc. The views from the terrace are stunning.

United KingdomThe menu was all fish based. No meat dishes at all.. The breakfast was not as good as I have had in similar priced places. For example, you had to ask for milk, non on display for breakfast. Nevertheless it was a nice breakfast, just limited choice.

CanadaLunch food wasn’t the best. So we opted to have dinner elsewhere. The beach is not private, you do see the public coming and going often.
Incredible breakfast, very friendly staff, walking distance to many restaurants. Very easy access to the ocean, we loved having the sun chairs to read listening to the waves. The pool is also incredible.

United KingdomWe had a slight issue with the air conditioning but it was quickly resolved. There really isn’t anything to dislike here.
The property is beautiful and still retains many of its original features as a sea defence fortification. The views across to the Ancona coastline are wonderful and not to be missed as the sun begins to set. Also, don’t miss the opportunity to eat in the beautifully dining hall while enjoying someone caress the grand piano.

United StatesThis property has an interesting history and a fabulous location. The hotel, restaurant and grounds are well-maintained. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed and the beds are comfortable. The shower was large and there was plenty of hot water and water pressure. The patio is a lovely place to sip coffee in the morning or an aperitivo in the afternoon. The grounds are peaceful. There’s a lovely beach nearby.

AustraliaWe loved the location, facilities and ambience. Just sorry we could only stay one day as it was a short stop over on our travel to the north of Italy. The access to the electric car charger was another reason we booked the place as it made it very convenient not to have to hunt around for a charging place outside the hotel. An amazing room, excellent breakfast and the breathtaking location made this stay memorable . We will tell our friends about this place for sure
