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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

“An ideal place to get away from daily routine”
• Leisure trip
• Family with young children
• Triple Room
• Stayed 2 nights
The only thing was that wifi connection was very limited from our room but Giovanni informed us beforehand about it and he said that he was looking into the issue. For us it did not matter much.
Amazing location; very quiet place; ideal to get away from the daily routine; Giovanni, the host, is very knowledgable about the area and also he is an amazing chef. The food is to die for and for a very good price.
Stayed in January 2023

“Calm paradise with extraordinary food.”

Hand basin needs a plug.
There was a strange smell in the room. Turned out to be furniture polish, but it was unpleasant.
From the first welcome to the last arividerci everything was perfect.
We were the only guests and had the room with the bed diagonally in the corner. It was large, basic and spotless. The view from the terrace outside was breathtaking. Fields, trees, mountains, farms and the town of Rotonda. Great lsunsets, too.
The bathroom was of good size, with a great shower and plenty of hot water.
Be aware of the ants running around the outside of the building upstairs, don't give them any temptations to come inside. We had a couple of mosquitoes, too. Our fault, as there are mosquito screens on the large window.
Food is not included, but be sure not to miss it! Breakfast is varied and of excellent quality. But the real jewel in the crown are the dinners! Giuseppe is such an excellent cook, giving you the complete Italian 4 course experience which leaves you in awe of his creations.
In general, his gentle and calm nature made us feel very welcome and relaxed. He does not speak English, so we had to dig deep for some school French, yet managed to have some inspiring conversations with him when we felt like it. At other times he respected our privacy very gracefully.
Bring a car that can manage the steep, windy, loose drive up to the house. It's worth it!
We went out to Pollino National Park every day for walks, Paolo at the Park Office by the Eco Museum in Rotonda is very helpful with good advice.
We came away very rested and feeling content and utterly spoilt.
We have more than 70 million property reviews, and they're all from real, verified guests.
