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 location and views are outstanding from both the terrace we had and the breakfast room alike. In winter this place should be magical!
Bathroom is outside the room (as specified when you book but still not ideal). Mattresses aren’t that comfy but OK for the price range. The hotel is very noisy as dividing walls are thin and stairs are in wood and steel. When someone walks or talk in the room next door you can hear/feel everything.

Verified reviewThe Dagli Elfi was nestled in between all of the beautiful stone buildings and Antoni our host was terrific. It is a very small town but quite beautiful. April is just too early to have all restaurants open so that was a bit disappointing but the we were really impressed and I’ll be back at some point in August. The wildlife and snow capped mountains were spectacular

Verified reviewView of the lake, kindness of the lady at breakfast.
The room lacks several little things which would facilitate a lot the stay, such as a mirror, a little fridge (like a minibar), a bigger bin and removable shower hose.

Verified reviewThe little village of Barea is beautiful. The host made us feel so welcome and whatsapped us to let us know he was on hand if we needed anything. The views from the hotel are stunning. They also served great coffee and croissants in the morning.
No complaints at all.

Verified reviewThe view is amazing, the room big and comfortable, everything is clean and tidy.
It's a bit difficult to find a place to eat open in the Barrea area in the evening. We had to go to another village.

Verified reviewGreat location with a gorgeous view from the dining room (or the room with the balcony). Very clean. Daniella is spectacular.
Contrary to description, the breakfast is very limited. Choice of cereal, prepackaged toast, cold pancakes/waffles, and glazed/filled croissant wears thin very quickly. No fruit, nothing fresh/hot. The dining room is only open for said limited breakfast for two hours, again, contrary to reviews/description, there is no dinner served. Lastly, check in was very impersonal. Never met the owners, was told to download Whatsapp to communicate while we were waiting to get in at the front door as we never received the door code ahead of time. Keys to the rooms are really difficult to use, believe it or not. English is not well spoken, and while not a problem, should not be listed on this listing.

Verified reviewThis hostel/B&B was in the centro storico. The breakfast was really good Italian style breakfast. The lady serving breakfast gave us great info for a walk we wanted to do the next day. They are teamed up with a really nice restaurant in the Centro storico.
Some fruit for breakfast would have been appreciated.

Verified reviewThe position in the center of Barrea and the size of the room. The staff at breakfast was very kind and friendly and the self check-in was very easy.
The bathroom..the sink was cracked and the water came out with very low pressure. There wasn't a shower mat. I found the cost for one night a little too expensive (but I get that it's high season).
