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.).

SpainPerfect location right by the cathedral, including a beautiful view from the roof. We had a lovely room, very comfortable including a working A/C, a balcony, and clean facilities. Staff was also great, as they met us for early check in and let us keep our bags in the hotel for a few hours after check out. They were very accommodating. Overall, our favourite stay in Sicily! If we come back to Cefalù, I will look into returning to the same hotel.

Location was amazing - views straight into the square. A lovely roof terrace. My son left his AirPods on the bed and the lovely staff ran all the way down the street to our taxi to give them to him before we left to board a train - we were all so grateful!

United KingdomThe only downside was that there is no toilet on the property apart from those in the rooms, but there are public bathrooms available around the corner.
The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect - right in the centre of town! It's a little noisy in the morning due to the rubbish collection, but the room and location are so beautiful, we didn't mind! The host was absolutely lovely and gave us lots of recommendations, and stored our bags while we explored after checking out on our last day, and made herself very available throughout the trip. The room is also beautiful, very classic!

AustraliaWas a bit hard to sleep in due to the motions of the morning outside but this is totally out of the hands of the accommodation. Who wants to sleep in in this town anyway!!!
This place was seriously the BEST place I have stayed while travelling. Everything was totally bellisimo!! The kindness and helpfulness of the hosts was exceptional and the location was like a picture perfect fairytale. My room looked out over the most beautiful square I have ever seen. In the heart of all the action. Romance abounds in this town and the accomodation only compliments the romance. I could not fault this place at any level. If I could give higher then 10 I would. Totally perfect. Comes with the highest of recommendations. Thankyou for what I believe, will be the highlight of my 4 weeks in Italy.

SwedenIt was quit noise early in the morning and also because of old doors which meant bad sound insulation. The breakfast-Savory was ok. Sweet option was better.
The location was spot on ! At the heart of Cefalu. The hosts were very friendly and helpful-specially thanks for them! Beautiful old architecture inside the room. Amazing roof top view with table and chairs!

The property is right in the centre of Cefalu steps away from the cathedral square. My single room was perfect. The bed was a good size and so comfy. It has everything you need. The extra toiletries and even a tooth brush were an added bonus. There was a small fridge with cold drinks to purchase. I have visited Cefalu many times, and I would definatly stay here again. The hosts were welcoming.

PolandAmong the many advantages of the place, the location, the wonderfully furnished rooms and the wonderful staff, always willing to help, were particularly noteworthy. The windows facing directly onto the main town square in front of the Duomo di Cefalù and the public terrace made just being in the grounds of Palazzo Villelmi a unique experience. The room was equipped with a small fridge and air conditioning, and the bathroom with the necessary toiletries. The breakfast served in the common area was very tasty. Thanks to the courtesy of the staff, I was able to leave my luggage after checking out. I will certainly not forget this wonderful stay!
