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):
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.).

The host was super friendly offering a coffee upon our arrival, and proving me with soy milk for breakfast. The room and the B&B is really well kept.

FranceNothing not to like!
Everything! The scenery was magnificent, we have the best view on the islands in the garden and we get to enjoy our breakfast there too. Amazing! The breakfast was also really good ; everything you would need and of good quality. The staff could not have been more perfect. We felt safe, cared for with warmth and availability. Really, thanks again to everyone we encountered there! The walk down the main area is not that long and safe. You can also rent cars/scooter or take taxis pretty easily. Would 100% recommend to take a day trip to the surrounding island (including Stromboli). It was a great value for money and a great addition to our stay!

GermanyThe bed in our originally booked room wasn't very comfortable. However, when I asked about some extra blankets or matress covers to make it more comfortable, we were offered a fifferent room with a new bed immediately. I slept really well in the new bed and the service oriented behavior was a big plus for me.
The location is great as it is in a very quiet environment and it offers a great view. Especially the breakfast staff was very sweet and service oriented. We were lucky enough to be there with only a few other guests. Communication was flawless and the pickup upon arrival was a very welcome treat. Yes, you should rent a car or scooter but that is true for almost all places on the islands. We walked down to Lipari once which took about 20 minutes and was maybe 2 km ( there is a direct way, don't walk on the main road). I personally enjoyed the breakfast they offered as you got freshly baked bread buns and cake every day, among other things. That's more than you get at some other hotels in Italy.

NetherlandsNothing really. Communication was a bit challenging at times due to the language barrier but thank heaven for translation software.
Very good accommodation, good breakfast (the breakfast lady is so nice), a stunning location and a helpful and polite host. We had no transport ourselves and this seemed a bit of a problem at first because the nearest village is a while away and public transport is very limited. Then, Angelo helped us out and brought us to the nearest village multiple times. For this we are really grateful. As budget travelers we were also happy to be allowed to use the kitchen.

The view is unique, you can see the Vulcano island from the garden. The owner and staff were super supportive: they picked us from the port, took the luggage and helped us to rent a scooter. One of the best experiences we have ever had. We will definitely come back.

AustraliaBe prepared for a long walk to/from town - but the hosts were happy to give us a lift on a couple of occasions.
This property is a little far from town but it's definitely worth it. The views are spectacular, and the hosts are some of the most generous I've ever encountered.

The room and balcony was spacious, clean and at a very good standard. The breakfast was really tasteful served by smiling lady in the glazed gazebo with a magic view.

NetherlandsIf you don't have a car and go out at night, make sure to bring a flashlight because the route partly runs through unlit, uninhabited area. And for solo travelers (particularly female) without a car, keep in mind that you'll probably want to take a taxi back late at night as part of the route is very dark and deserted (no doubt it's safe but I got 'Blair Witch Project-vibes nonetheless when I walked up there one night on my own).
Good room with fridge and private terrace situated in a luxury villa with friendly owners. I especially enjoyed the magnificent view in the morning (and the starry sky in the evening). It is a steep climb from the center, but the owner offers to take you from the ferry and bring you back there after check-out. I personally didn't make use of this offer because I love to walk/hike anyway.

United KingdomIt is a steep walk into the town centre but we were very kindly offered a lift to and from the port with our luggage so this was no problem.
Angelo went above and beyond throughout our stay! The villa is beautiful with large rooms and a gorgeous terrace. Angelo was very fast at responding to any questions that we had with many helpful tips. Breakfast was delicious (the pistachio croissants were our favourite!) and Simona was very helpful as well, a huge thank you to all.

Incredible stay at Villa Maristella! Our host really went above and beyond to make our stay as memorable and comfortable as possible. Angelo was fantastic! The view from the room and terrace was honestly breathtaking, surrounded by flowers, mountains, and the other aeolian islands. The B&B was high up so we needed to rent some electric bikes to get around lipari and into town but what an amazing way to explore the island if you’re not scared of heights! Room comfortable and all round expectations far exceeded. Would stay here again 100%.

GermanyThe only "issue" is about the location which really depends of you have a car, lots of stuff or able to hike. We knew about the issue by other comment but decided not to bring our car to the island as it wasn't worth for only one day . If you are staying longer consider it more seriously. There is no grocery in reasonable distance and it is 30min uphill from the town. In return you will enjoy lovely scenes of hotel.😍
The place is run by a lovely family, absolutely nice and helpful. They offered to pick us up from the port and take us back. The location has magnificent view over the volcano and the ocean, and very quiet and calm. I cannot expect better than this
