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...).

AustraliaWe knew that the building had no lift but the stairs were an issue with heavy suitcases. Just be prepared for this if you have trouble negotiating stairs.
Fantastic location overlooking the sea. Wonderful rooftop terrace for breakfast ( extra cost ) or just to sit in the afternoon with a drink. Great position in a busy street with lots of bars, restaurants. Lovely manager who was willing to meet all requests. A relatively easy walk from the station with suitcases although some uphill parts.

CanadaYes include breakfast and steps
Location and room was great the room was very big and is great for family with 2 kids. The steps to the room were a killer pack light as there are 40plus steps to the room. Location was amazing it was right in town. No parking which was a challenge as you can not park in the old part of town. You will need to walk a bit to accommodate the parking. As for the hotel it is no longer a B and B so you will need to pay for breakfast if you want at hotel! The Rooftop Sunsets from location were truly amazing!!

CanadaPictures of the suite I booked vs the room we got was very different but that didn’t matter to us much. We booked a king suite but the bed was queen size. Room itself was dated but we didn’t spend much time inside anyway. Shower didn’t drain properly. The TV didn’t work (remote didn’t work either). Some of the outlets were broken. They only give you new towels every 3 days. This is a beach town so we were showering a lot but they did make an exception and give us more which was really nice. The room was lacking basic necessities such as cups, an iron, bottle opener, garbage can (there was only a very small one inside the bathroom). There was a coffee maker and cups in the main lobby but it would be nice to have a few in the room considering we booked a private terrace and would have loved to enjoy some wine up there.
Location was amazing and view from up top the Terrance equally as beautiful. They let us check in early. Instructions to get to the property (where to park our car etc were good). They responded quickly to what’s app messages. The suite itself was dated, but it was clean. Overall, it was good value for the money, clean and the staff was lovely.

United KingdomThe room wasn't cleaned every day, only made the bed and gave fresh towels every other day. There were also signs to not unpack on the extra bed, we could have used the space as there were only a couple of hangers. There is also an extra charge if you bring any sand into the room, which is quite difficult for a seaside town.
The location is incredible. The terrace was also incredible, we watched the sunset every evening before going to dinner. The bed was very comfortable and large, and the bathroom was modern and well done. They also had a couple of things that you could take to the beach, so we took a couple of padels and a ball. We had slept in the first day which we ordered breakfast, they made sure to remind us and knock before breakfast was over.

United States of AmericaTruthfully, we don’t have one bad thing to say about our stay at this property. Our experience was delightful. One warning we would give to future travelers staying here is to be aware that there is no elevator, so you do have to climb up two sets of stairs. It was quite a process for us with our heavy luggage, but we managed.
My fiancé and I absolutely loved our stay at Dolce Vita B&B. The room exceeded our expectations and was very spacious, allowing us ample space to store our belongings and relax. Our room also had the most beautiful view overlooking the ocean. The outdoor terrace, with lots of chairs and a stunning view, was perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset, both of which we did. The location was more than ideal as all the local shops, restaurants, and the beach were right at our fingertips. We wish we had more time in this beautiful place and would highly recommend staying here.

United States of AmericaStreet noise was noticeable but not a deal breaker for us. Easy access to everything was a fair trade off. There are a few flights of stairs to enter the room level where we stayed. This was a bit challenging for my knees but the friendly staff helped with our luggage when we arrived.
We really loved the location of Dolce Vita B&B. Our room was spotless and had a very large comfortable bed, balcony overlooking the lovely streets below in the heart of town. We enjoyed the breakfasts served on the rooftop deck overlooking the water, also great for evening sunset views. Management was helpful and welcoming as well.

United States of AmericaRemember, their second floor is our third floor and there is no lift. The apartment is nothing special and the air-conditioner doesn't really quite make it to the bedroom, although at night, it's tolerable in the bedroom.
Without a doubt, the best location for being in the center of the city. Small private balcony literally hangs above the sea. Shared rooftop lounging area is spectacular. Nice staff, willing to help.
