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.).

AustraliaYou need to be fit. It can be tough getting back up the hill.
Fabulous view and close to Corso Umberto. Our room was a bit noisy with traffic noise from the road below. Staff moved us to a quieter room. Excellent. The the hotel is 1960's retro and that is part of the charm..

AustraliaThe staff couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. We had an ocean view room and the views and patio size was fantastic. Facilities at the hotel including the pool were great also. Breakfast had ample choice. The location was good but be aware that to get to the main street for shopping and restaurants there is a hill and stairs.

United KingdomThe hotel is very dated and really needs updating. The room and bathroom were functional and very clean but could really benefit from updating. Our terrace was roomy but two extremely large and tall conifers blocked half of the lovely view.
The location was very good. The rooms were very clean and the staff were helpful and respectful. The swimming pool was lovely. Breakfast was very good.

AustraliaBathrooms are dated, but everything was very clean.
Fantastic location (5 mins to the main shopping and restaurant areas) with beautiful views. The pool is set up high with amazing views over the water. Yes it’s a faded jewel - but it’s still very beautiful! Don’t stay here if you want to stay in the latest, modern (soulless?) hotel. This is a family run hotel with lots of charm and character - we loved it! The onsite parking at a reasonable rate was an added bonus. Breakfast on the terrace was a lovely start to the day.

Location, location, location! The hotel is perfect walking distance to all the restaurants and shops but away from the noise. The fact you can also take advantage of the sister hotel with beach is such a bonus to get the best of both worlds. The views from our room and the pool are top notch. This is such a gem and we will absolutely be back.

United KingdomThe toilet was too close to the bidet and no tea making facilities, but that was about it.
Fantastic location at the top of the town, just a few minutes walk down the steps on to the main road. Beautiful pool with the best views. We had a room with a huge balcony, although there was no real barrier between neighbours but we didn't see anyone else either side until last night. We had amazing view from our balcony, comfortable room. Breakfast was delicious choice of fresh salad, cakes, fruit, ham and cheese. Staff couldn't do enough for you and were so polite.
