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...).

CanadaSome of the amenities are a bit misleading (e.g. "spa" is just a sauna/steam room).
Great location just outside the main harbour. Very comfortable beds and rooms, and a fantastic breakfast.

United KingdomThe room we stayed in ( Suite) was recently refitted, the shower location is unusual and some distance from the bathroom, this has a clear window overlooking nearby apartments that should be frosted. There is no hotel bar, it would have been good to have a bar / coffee facility for guests.
The welcome and staff hospitality is excellent, the hotel is well presented and very new following a recent refit. Location to Portofino centre excellent, we also used the shuttle service to visit the sister hotel and private beach, well worth a visit. The breakfast is superb and staff service outstanding.

United KingdomThere was no view from the room at all, we had a small balcony area with a wall covered in greenery in front of the window, so the view was just that!
We had a lovely stay here, just 1 night. The staff were very pleasant, the hotel was clean and the breakfast was lovely. A little strange that scrambled eggs were included in the breakfast but any other type of cooked eggs, ie poached required a supplement! The parking at the hotel was free but very limited, however there is a large public car park nearby which we decided to use as we had found a parking space there ( of which there were few available ) and the hotel advised we would have to vacate any parking at the hotel the following day when we checked out. We planned to spend the day in Portofino after check out so this seemed to be a better option. This was our second trip to Portofino and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

United States of AmericaI wish they had told us more about the other location, on the beach, before arrival or when we arrived. We learned about it but I would have liked to factor that in to our itinerary.
The staff was exceptional. The decor and design are stunning. Access to the beach club was amazing! The breakfast was perfect. We had our 7-year old son with us and it was perfect! We had a fabulous dinner at a local restaurant as recommended by the concierge - Gemeli was a wonderful experience. I would recommend coming back.

United States of AmericaIt was tiny, the staff were extremely unhelpful especially considering it was a five star hotel -- for example when we arrived the man at the front desk didn't even help open the door or help with our bags even though we were the only ones there and had a baby. That night the alarm went off twice once at 1 am and at 2 am and no one even apologized the next morning. The room was so tiny it was laughable. We truly do not understand how this hotel is five stars -- it is an incorrect rating by any standard, and so terribly overpriced. If we had better understood the geography of the area, we would have just stayed in a less expensive place in town and received the same service (namely, no service). Do not recommend.
Honestly, do not recommend, overpriced, over-rated (should not be five stars) and no service.
