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.).

SwitzerlandThe breakfast is home-cooked, and really delicious. The overnight price is not high, considering the area, which is a high-demand area. Up on the hill, you're away from the crowds when you want to be. We took the room without a balcony, but there is still lots of outdoor space available, so we didn't miss the balcony. There are three communal terraces to chose from, with chairs, sun lounges, and umbrellas. You can follow the sun or sit in the shade.The chairs are situated so you can look with out the window at the sea. It takes about ten to fifteen minutes to walk down the slope to the town. There are no sidewalks, but traffic was not heavy, since cars are forbidden in the town. The pickup service the hotel offers works just fine. Be aware there is no pickup between 19:30 and 21:30.

Views were outstanding, breakfasts were fabulous and set us up for whole day sightseeing and it was so quiet that we could hear the voices of the tour guides on the boats passing below. Don’t worry about the distance from the town as the regular transport provided by the hosts was more than sufficient to get around. We walked down and used the transport to come back up. The hosts could not be any more friendly.

United StatesIt was up a very significant hill, not walkable for us so we took cabs three times. Thus, we couldn’t just walk around the town and to our hotel. The room was cramped with little room for open suitcases. Hauling our luggage up to our room was daunting on our first night.
A gorgeous view over the sea. Staff were very accommodating and went out of their way to provide transportation. Breakfasts were quite good though almost too much. They worked to provide gluten free options. We felt very safe and secure.

CanadaThe property is farther out of town than we realized, a 15-20 min walk uphill. This makes going out for dinner, or just going in for a swim, more awkward. They provide a helpful shuttle service every 2 hours. One of the four room doesn’t have an ocean facing balcony—be sure to ask.
Kind, wonderful hosts, amazing breakfasts, great views. Quiet and peaceful location.

The shuttle service is really great; fantastic bonus service and the room was comfortable and clean.

La Serra Sul Mare was absolutely perfect. Even the glowing reviews of the included breakfast didn’t do it justice, it was a luxury to wake up to a talented, private chefs every morning just steps from our suite. Having a private balcony with sea views also set this stay apart, it gave us so much space to relax compared to smaller rooms that in the bigger cities. The stocked fridge was another excellent touch, it really helped not having to go into town for wine and water after a long day of traveling. There were many easy transportation options, though we opted to walk in and out of town except when arriving and leaving with our luggage. It’s a steeper climb back but very doable, which was kind of nice after finishing a big dinner.

IrelandQuite a steep walk from village to La Serra, however hosts run a shuttle service at specific times.
The friendly atmosphere, the stunning views, and general ambience of relaxation were second to none! Sabrina, Cardo ( excuse spelling!) and Francesca helped make our stay memorable. Breakfast each morning, overlooking the sea, was delicious, varied and one of the highlights of our stay.

This was a gorgeous place with an amazing view. The staff were so caring and friendly. They made a delicious breakfast for us and took great care of us. This facility is very clean and comfortable. The location is a little out of the way. The hosts accommodate for that by offering shuttle service and helping to get a taxi. If you want a quiet place to stay out of the main area, this is the place for you!

United StatesLa Serra Sul Mare was the highlight of our two week trip. We were greeted with prosecco and a snack, and we loved how spacious and comfortable our room was. Although set a little outside of the main part of town, the shuttle was incredibly convenient and we were able to use the bus included in the Cinque Terre treno card for part of our stay as well as there is a stop right outside. We loved the quiet and beautiful view of the water from our little patio. The breakfast was huge, delicious and served by a lovely woman. All of the staff was wonderful and hope to come back for another stay sometime in the future!
