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.).

The city of Catanzaro Lido has a pretty seawall but the town itself would benefit from a better cleaning....It is sad to see such a lovely place so unkempt. Cars will not stop for you on pedestrian crossing...so be careful when crossing streets. The locals are pretty friendly with a touch of human warmth.
Room was nice and comfortable. Spotless room and bathroom. The room was a little too tight but comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty with both sweet and salt offerings. The staff was for the most part very welcoming and friendly except an older gentleman with white hair wearing glasses on Sunday evening...He didn't even look at us when we said good evening...and he answered good evening without even acknowledging we were there.....But for the most it was a nice place for a couple of nights.

The hotel is well located on the sea front and is richly decorated and modern. Unfortunately, 1 lift of 2 was not operating, and it took some time for all tenants to manage their floor, especially breakfast time. I was in room 509, and it really suffers from lack of air-conditioning, and it was really hot. To be fair, I was offered another room in the non upgraded area, but I was too tired to pack up and move. The breakfast was to die for. The selection of Regio Calbria salami and meats and cheese, cakes, and Nutella, fresh fruit presentation was really 10 on 10. Guys, keep it up.

We weren't expecting much from the town and we were right. The hotel is quite a long walk from the station but it is flat along a lovely promenade, if the weather is good.
The hotel is clean, comfortable and we were given a room with a wonderful view over the sea. The room was really special, better than I was expecting. The staff were super friendly and the breakfast was the best value I have ever had. €5 for all you can eat fantastic buffet.

We love this hotel. Rooms have been refurbished. Though we had a suite we will get a bigger one next time. Good position, beach across the road. Great meals, wonderful staff ready to do anything to help make your stay comfortable.

Not a thing.
This place is a classic (but modern) seaside hotel, fully staffed, with a great restaurant and superb breakfast. And it has its own (free, it seems) parking lot. And many thanks to Marika for helping us deal with some critical transportation (flying) issues. (I wonder: How long can such a great place survive? Try it!)

Breakfast on day 1 was served by room service, but I had no idea what I was ordering, it was OK but needed more bread, I asked for 2 bread expecting rolls, got 3 tiny slices.
Room was an upgrade, Sky , they didn't know I don't watch TV. Location is another very Italian resort but I found good food both nights.

Hotel Palace is sort of misplaced jewel; a very decent hotel found in a city not so much worth visiting.
Satisfactory options in terms of breakfast. Rooms offerring luxury (more than expected). Polite and friendly staff with good command of the English language (which is rarely the case in southern Italy).
