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.).

AustraliaLocation was fabulous, right in front of the harbour, night life and great restaurants. The room was huge and the bed was very comfortable. Having the air-con on before we arrived was wonderful. Allowed the room to be nice and cool on our arrival. Staff were very accommodating and helpful. Breakfast was great too, lots of variety. Would definitely recommend staying here.

United KingdomA Perfect Honeymoon Stay – Exceptional in Every Way We had the absolute pleasure of staying at La Vecchia Fonti hotel in the Presidential Suite for two nights as part of our 14-night honeymoon in Sardinia — and it was, without doubt, one of the standout highlights of our entire trip. The hotel is ideally located right on the Palau harbour, offering the perfect base for exploring the stunning La Maddalena archipelago. But beyond the prime location, what truly set this stay apart was the impeccable service and attention to detail from the moment we arrived. Check-in was warm and seamless, and we were made to feel welcome from the first moment. The staff were outstanding — consistently friendly, helpful, and genuinely thoughtful throughout our stay. They are a real credit to the hotel. A beautiful touch awaited us in our suite: a bottle of sparkling wine, a handwritten welcome note, and a delicious platter of fresh fruit — all of which made us feel truly celebrated and cared for as honeymooners. The Presidential Suite itself was simply stunning — stylish, spacious, and immaculately maintained. It had everything we could have possibly needed and more, including a private gym! But the true showstopper was the private terrace with breathtaking panoramic views over the harbour. Complete with sun loungers, a dining table and chairs, and our own private hot tub, it was the ultimate spot to relax in privacy and comfort. The view was so spectacular we chose to dine on our terrace in the evening, as nowhere else could have compared to that setting. In every aspect — from the luxury of the suite to the professionalism and warmth of the team — this hotel exceeded our expectations. It was romantic, peaceful, and effortlessly elegant. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, and we would return in a heartbeat. A truly unforgettable stay.

United KingdomThe breakfast option was basic but okay. It didn't worry us during our stay but just to note there is a live music stage nearby that plays music past midnight at the weekend.
Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was great, we had a balcony with a view on to the harbour. The location was central and easy to find. Parking was €12 per night in the car park opposite the hotel. We would definitely return to this hotel.
