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.).

United KingdomThis didn't bother us, but there a lot of stairs to negotiate in Pensione Maria Luisa and no lift. Positano has a lot of stairs and uphill/downhill walks so if you struggle with either be warned.
Pensione Maria Luisa was fairly easy to find along a path and down some steps. We were met by the very friendly owner and shown oir room. This was spacious and airy with an en suite shower room. Everything was comfortable, we had air conditioning and a small refridgerator. We just about had a sea view as well. There is a great sun terrace on the roof with panoramic views over Positano. The walk into the town centre is about 20 minutes. There was no breakfast available but there were places to eat 5 to 10 minutes walk away.

United KingdomNot a single thing we didn’t like. Would be nice to have the option to pay for breakfast but there’s a bakery nearby so it’s not an issue.
Great value for money! My family and I loved this place. We stayed in rooms with sea views. The rooms are comfortable and clean and we loved the terrace. There are plenty of restaurants 5 minutes walking away from the hotel. Like anywhere in Positano, there are lots of stairs to go down to the beach. The stairs to the main beach and to Fornillo beach are different (Fornillo is slightly closer). There is also a common terrace with a beautiful view in case your room doesn’t have a terrace. The staff is helpful and super lovely. Thank you, Carmen!

United KingdomI wish there was some kind of breakfast offering (even paid) - simple tea/coffee and fruit or pastries would be sufficient. We did struggle a bit to find breakfast nearby which slowed down our day. The shower was also quite small and there was no shelf to put toiletries on (personal pet peeve)
They really need to advertise the VIEW from this place better. It's really beautiful. The room itself was spacious and clean. The staff was super helpful in helping us figure out the aircon, offering recommendations and helping us deal with some ants (they're all over the town, it wasn't a lack of cleanliness on their behalf). We had a really nice stay. It was also very reasonably priced compare to many other hotels in Positano.

ItalyI booked a room at Pensione Maria Luisa last minute in the middle of summer and got tremendous value. Great price, the room was very clean. It is small but perfect for a couple. You have to walk a short distance with luggage but overall for the price, location, and cleanliness its perfect. You can walk to the beach and you can walk to town. You are close to a motorcyle rental shop as well. Loved it!
