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 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 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.).

AustraliaAs you are not in the town, the small shuttle bus runs once a hour each way which could be increased. No shuttle bus runs if you have an early departure which needs to be factored into your trip.
The hotel and breakfast was lovely with a fantastic view overlooking Monterosso.

From the room - the room and balcony the views of the sea and all 5 villages of the Cinque Terre were wonderful to wake up to - location is a little away from the center of Monterosso making for quiet mornings and evenings - perfect !

United KingdomThe only slightly annoying thing is the frequency of the shuttle bus. It's only a minor point though, because they do come promptly and reliably as per the hotels timetable, so no fault there. I would just make a small request to have it come more frequently. It only comes once per hour and has only 8 seats. If you are getting a shuttle at peak times e.g. for dinner, then you have to get there at least 20 minutes before it arrives to queue up and get a spot, otherwise you then have to wait an extra 20 minutes or so for it to do multiple trips before everyone fits.
Overall a wonderful hotel which I would definitely recommend. The staff were extremely helpful and polite. The view from the location is superb. The rooms have also had a renovation since the photographs on Booking.com - so they are even nicer than we expected. Also a really nice buffet breakfast and great to have free car parking on site.

United KingdomA proper queuing system for the bus would be ideal. People were rude just pushing past to catch the bus. There is no need as the bus is happy to do multiple trips and returns within 5 minutes. A pool would make this hotel even more amazing.
It was beautiful, clean and amazing views away from the hustle and bustle.

United KingdomWe would have liked to have been informed about the shuttle bus that goes from the beach to the hotel before we arrived. The walk up the steep hill with our case was intense and we spoke to other guests who had also not been told about the shuttle bus.
The views are incredible! You can see the other 4 villages of Cinque Terra from your balcony. There is a lovely outside area with lush plants and flowers. The breakfast was delicious and they serve good coffee. The beds were comfortable and the hotel is tastefully decorated.

FranceUnfortunately … I would have loved to have a Restaurant in the establishment . It is a hassle after the beach heat to go all the way up for a shower and then go all the way back down for food. And horrible guests that do not wait their turn on the mini-bus / shuttle. If you do not fight for your sit , you can wait even for 1 - 2 hours to get on the mini-buss . 😡😡😡
The rooms where super clean and the view was EXCELENT !!! ❤️

Breakfast was great and full for all tastes. our room had a fantastic little balcony with sea view. I liked the idea of the shuttle, so we didn't have to use our car, since in the centre of Monterosso it's quite difficult to find parking spaces. the staff is great, we were treated very nice and felt very welcomed.
