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 views, and pleasant, hardworking staff; the poolside/garden
Room 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

Verified reviewThe location is amazing, sandy beach is right next to hotel. The view is amazing. Also from corner rooms, see view is available. The breakfast was very good: various options (mostly sweet) with exceptional view.
The hotel rooms are not so fresh

Verified reviewThe location was amazing - driving down the long winding narrow switchback roads felt treacherous, but then you pull in to this fantastic view and secluded beach location and it all felt worth it. The view from our balcony was amazing.

Verified reviewPretty tranquil area, one could hear the sound of the waves from their room. I fell asleep listening to the sound of the waves.
The hotel is pretty old and stuffy. The staff were not friendly, which has become an unfortunate sad trend at most places we have visited in Italy (west and southern Italy). The beach was pretty disorganized and did not feel clean at all (was smelly). The restaurant offered mediocre food.

Verified reviewThe 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.

For three beds I would expect more than one room, but it was okay

Verified reviewExcellent 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.
Can't criticize much. If there was a fee for beach chairs, would be great if included..

Verified reviewWe 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.
Nothing
