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 air conditioning in our bedroom did not work and nothing was done to get it fixed. On the second day at least we were given a very noisy fan

Verified reviewThe area and accomodation are beautiful. Vasiliki and her husband are really lovely, generous and accommodating. Breakfast is superb, pool beautiful and enjoyed the tennis, darts and table tennis and spa amenities. It was a lovely experience. Thank you and well done!
Ac system is not the best. Does not switch on as automatically stated so then you again have to open as it was too hot in the summer months. But nothing bad as reviews at all!

Verified reviewThe 2 people running the hotel on their own Facilities and accommodation excellent
Completely disabled unfriendly How can a beautiful 4 year old German designed hotel on 5 floors down to car park level NOT HAVE A LIFT? ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A WHEELCHAIR USER TO STAY HERE Rooms not cleaned and towels not changed in a week as is standard We're sure the delightful young couple coping with a 15 bed hotel on their own would have done this if asked. But we felt sorry for them as they are already very overworked. The hotel was much too quiet Since we were almost the only guests there was no opportunity to have any social contact with other guests .There is no entertainment or a bar. TV only shows live Italian programmes

Verified reviewThe location and villa itself are amazing with ample secure, free, parking. The pool and spa are very nice too. The kids particularly liked the tennis court, ping pong table and balls to play football. Location is quiet and relaxing with great views and sounds of nature. Rooms are modern, spacious and comfortable. Our room had an amazing view of Etna too!
Breakfast could be a bit more varied

Verified reviewEverything is very new and well maintained. In the front, you can see the ocean with an infinity pool, and in the back you can see Etna volcano. After using a swimming pool, you can put yourself to sauna and jacuzzi. Also there is a tennis court and table tennis with equipment, we enjoyed it so much!! The owner and workers are super kind and nice, always wanted to make us feel like at home. We only spent 2nights there but if we could, we would have loved to extend our stay 🫶🏻

Verified reviewEverything was perfect. Extremely high quality of materials when this building was made. Sound proof rooms, great mattress, good blinds. Lots of facilities, including a jacuzzi and sauna (€9 per person extra). Breakfast was small but lots of variety. Excellent people running the place, very helpful and full of useful information. The view is nice too, we had a see view room. Would come again.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the exceptionally great review. We would be delighted to see you again. We wish you all the best for your future. Your Villa Rita Pool & Spa Team

Verified reviewVictoria did an amazing job catering to our needs. We were welcomed with open arms and were given a tour of the property. We were impressed with her timely communication and the efforts to provide breakfast and maintain the property. We will absolutely stay here again. You would never have to leave this property while on vacation. If a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life is what you’re seeking, Villa Rita is a great place to escape the world.
The sauna were great but it was off putting to find out on arrival that it would be an extra charge per person to use them. The price to use them wasn’t bad but it would have been nice to know about that before booking; it doesn’t mention it on the website. We are avid sauna users, so if we were to have stayed at the property for a longer time, the price to use the sauna would have been pricey. But at the same time we can understand that it take Victoria time and effort to prep and clean the saunas before and after use. The electrical outlets in the room were not secured to the wall. It looks like the electricians just placed them into the drywall. Plugging in a device will push the outlet into the wall and pulling your device out will also pull the outlet out of the wall. This is minor, and did not take away from our experience, but the owners should know about it to fix it.
