Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

NetherlandsNot much to complain considering what is promised by this hotel. Maybe the beds are a bit too hard.
Helpful staff. Very central location, close to supermarket and marina. Parking is very tricky in Rapallo but hotel provides temporary permits for the guests which is very helpful in crowded Rapallo streets.

Great location, short walk to the waterfront, restaurants, and close to the supermarket. The room had a nice big cupboard for storage, a mini fridge, tv, and the bathroom was a good size. Every day the bed gets made, and new towels are provided which is lovely. The staff were very helpful and provided information about the town.

Stayed 2 nights in this hotel - very well located, 5 min walk to the pier. Has a terrace overlooking the town, the room was a decent size with a good bathroom. The hotel staff were very nice and friendly! The big supermarket is right across the street, 10 min walk to the train station! It’s a small modest hotel.

RomaniaLoud outside, and the staff not very friendly. I was in the room and they rang the doorbell, I didn't answer and then when I asked why they called, they answered that they thought we weren't in the room and wanted to water the flowers. Strange

United KingdomWe were surprised and disappointed to find that the private terrace we thought we had booked was actually a rooftop solarium that was available to all hotel guests. Our room actually opened onto this. We felt quite awkward about it. The management did offer to move us after the first night but it chucked it down for the remainder of the time we were there so we didn't bother moving. I would always check in future whether terraces were 'private' or not.
It was in a good location, just a short walk from the centre and the seafront. Also that it had secure parking which is difficult to find in towns.

ItalyHotel Stella in Rapallo is a fantastic 3-star spot in a charming, historic building. The rooms are clean, spacious, and come with free Wi-Fi and satellite TV. You’ll love the rooftop terrace with stunning views and the cozy 24-hour bar downstairs. The location is perfect—close to the beach, harbor, and just a short walk from the train station. Guests rave about the friendly and helpful staff who make your stay extra special. Whether you’re here for leisure or business, Hotel Stella is a solid choice for a comfortable and convenient stay!!

United KingdomWe loved the terrace but... whilst we had it mostly to ourselves during our stay, if more guests had used it it may have been slightly offputting having them sit directly outside our patio doors and would have felt the need to shut the curtains more.
Very helpful friendly staff. Clean room with access to large shared terrace, which we had to ourselves most days. Excellent for enjoying the late afternoon sun and relaxing with a drink and a good book 😊 Small elevator up to the 4th floor with only a few steps up to the 5th floor for our room and access to the terrace.
