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 KingdomRoom was very small, very dated; could hardly move in the shower; breakfast was poor - expected at least fresh fruit in Italy in August, but there was nothing (tinned peaches) freshly prepared - and bread was not fresh; for the cost of the room (over €200 a night) this was not good value for money. The hotel is surrounded by empty, unfinished properties, and felt a bit neglected
The views, and pleasant, hardworking staff; the poolside/garden

LatviaThe hotel exceeded my expectations! The location is fantastic – just ten steps from the hotel and you're in the sea, with a breathtaking view. The staff were incredibly helpful, kind, and friendly. I felt genuinely sad to leave – I just wanted to stay longer and keep enjoying the relaxation.

United StatesCan't criticize much. If there was a fee for beach chairs, would be great if included..
Excellent value. Quaint old style Italian hotel with private resort like pool (free) and pebble beach (fee for chairs/umbrella, I believe. We arrived late and were not charged) Gorgeous crystal clear water. Small bar/patio and restaurant with stunning ocean views. (We did not eat at the restaurant but instead walked 10 mins uphill for a casual pizza meal) Quad room offered plenty of space for family with two teens, comfy beds and blackout shutters. Very clean. Free parking on site. Perfect spot for a stop on our drive south.

We arrived at 2am due to a delayed flight and the night reception person was the nicest, kindest. He even got us a bottle of water and let us know they had given us a room upgrade for free, to a room with a view. It was spectacular to wake up to the sound of the sea crashing against the shore and to see the run rise above the horizon. It has access to a private beach, loungers and a swimming pool. Breakfast was traditional but god and the staff were very, very nice. The property also has gated parking which was a relief when arriving so late.

The location was amazing. Straight on the beach, with everything there - pool, beach, bar, restaurant. We had a budget room but it still had a balcony and sea view which I thought was good value. The staff were attentive. Breakfast was excellent as was the restaurant and the staff. We only ate there one evening and one lunchtime but the food was good and, considering there is no competition nearby, the price was reasonable. I had read that the hotel was perhaps a bit shabby, had maybe seen better days and that the bathroom was tiny and whilst all that is true I would say that for the price we paid, this was an excellent hotel and none of it mattered. With Booking.com we got an amazing deal and we were more than happy with everything. We would definitely recommend this hotel for a completely carefree break in one of the most beautiful places you could wish to stay in.

CanadaThe drive through the mountains and down to the property is not for the faint of heart. Room was small with tiny bathroom. Could pee and brush your teeth at the same time. Convenient, but squishy.
The location on the sea 🌊 was beautiful! The beach was clean and serviced with chairs and tables with umbrellas. The patio is a wonderful spot to sip on a cocktail from the lobby bar and watch the sunset. Dinner was good and the service matched!

The location is great, right on the beach, there is also a great pool. The beach is a typical Italian beach, which means rocks and pebbles. Water shoes are highly recommend. Restaurant served breakfast, which had many items to choose from and lots of cappuccino!
