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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesThere wasn't an elevator so we had to lug our heavy suitcases up the stairs, so plan appropriately. Start lifting now.
Well located, friendly staff, comfy beds, and large bathroom. Breakfast spread was great too. The best parts were the little pool in the courtyard for a refreshing dip at the end of the day as well as the welcome drinks on the rooftop. Parking on the street was a breeze as well.

CanadaThe town was tiny facing a not so cute port. However, the staff and the hotel and its amenities made up for all that.
The staff and hotel were amazing. The rooms were comfortable well appointed. It was a beautiful boutique hotel, full of charm and character with a tasty breakfast spread.

United KingdomNothing
The hotel was close to Restaurants & parking was easy. A very personal vibe about this small family run, Boutique Hotel. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Auxanne gave advice & guidance on the best beaches & attractions plus arranged bookings for Restaurants, Wine tasting & Olive Oil experience. The room was spotless with bespoke cotton bed linen, air conditioning, fridge, safe, toiletries, exceptional quality bed and room cleaned every day as an option. The roof top lounge area was a must for relaxation with great views across the port & Island. There is a small plunge pool with a decking area & shaded sun beds. Although breakfast only, it was sumptuous with cooked & fresh continental alternatives. Julia & Pierre Paolo's breakfast is genuinely a real feast with, homemade cakes, fresh fruit yoghurt pots, pastries, continental choice & cereal plus Delicious Omelettes will satisfy any hunger pangs. Raphael is the most beautiful Hotel to match this stunning Island. 9.5/10

United KingdomBeautiful converted Liberty villa. I stayed in the gorgeous corner room with two balconies, which was truly a memorable experience. Glorious breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, lovely garden and pool. A great base for seafood restaurants (Ittiturismo Chiosco di Ponente for example) and early boat trips from Santa Maria Navarrese out to see the beaches around Gulf of Orosei.

NetherlandsNothing. Everything was perfect
A former stately mansion in the center of Arbatax has been transformed into Hotel Raphael. The hotel is family run by Julia, Pier Paulo and Oxana. Those three are wonderful people who do their utmost to please their guests. The hotel itself is modern and designed with taste and care. The rooftop terrace is a wonderful place to relax and to enjoy the views. Our room was spacious as well as the bathroom. Julia is a joyful person who with her pleasant enthusiasm gives you in the morning the good vibes for the new day while preparing eggs in any style at your wishes. We had a wonderful time and find the hotel absolutely recommendable.

United StatesNo fault of the hotel's but I wish I had been in a hotel that had a view of the sea. This property is spectacular and it just seems a shame that it doesn't also have views. The front courtyard, where the pool and a ping pong table are located, could also use some landscaping. The area looks somewhat wild and doesn't reflect the style of the rest of the property.
The hotel is an exceptionally renovated building with a style and attention to detail that you would expect from a 5-star hotel. The staff is also exceptional, taking great care of both the guests and facilities with what feel and look like genuine love. The breakfasts were incredibly delicious--a huge spread of sweet and savory foods (including made-to-order items) and excellent coffees.
