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 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.).

LithuaniaI can't express how much I enjoyed staying in Stella Della Marina. Gabriele is an absolutely extraordinary person and he is taking care of the guests with so much love. I felt like home! First of all my plane was late and despite the fact that check in is till 9pm. Gabriele kindly agreed to wait and even met me with an umbrella half way (it was pouring when I arrived!) The rooms are very cosy, extremely clean and bed was so comfortable, I haven't slept so well for ages! The breakfast (especially Cappuccino) was amazing, with the beautiful historical view and the outside terrace. Gabriele was so kind and gave me recommendations on where to go and what to see, explained how to get to places and even gave me his umbrella for the day when it was raining ❤️ can't wait to come back someday to this wonderful place. Thank you so much Gabriele for loving what you do and for all your kindness and warmth.

United StatesI loved everything! Gabriele is a wonderful and caring host. I'm a 25-year-old female who was traveling to Cinque Terre alone. This was my second time to Cinque Terre and it was immensely improved because of Gabriele. I had an 18-hour travel day due to train delays. I didn't arrive in Monterosso until 23:30, but Gabriele was extremely understanding. He was waiting for me by the main square on the old side of Monterosso to help carry my bags. He carried my 22.7 kg (50 lb) bag up 3 flights of stairs to my room. He also carried them down the stairs once I checked out. He provided me with a notated map of Monterosso and told me to come to breakfast the following morning where he would give me more information/tips. The room was impeccably clean and comfortable, especially since there was adjustable AC. He also provided towels for the beach. Breakfast was one of the best I've had in Italy. There's an expansive selection of meats, cheeses, cereals, pastries, yogurts, breads, coffees, fruits, and small snacks. He has a fancy coffee/espresso machine and makes cappuccinos/coffees to order. The view for breakfast is breathtaking. You have a clear view of the ocean/beach/clocktower from both the inside and outside portion of the terrace. I spent multiple mornings sitting on the terrace, reading, and enjoying breakfast pastries and a fresh cappuccino. It's a wonderful start to the day and better than any breakfast you'd get in town. Gabriele is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to traveling around Cinque Terre and things to do. He has wonderful restaurant recommendations close to the hotel and authentic to Monterosso cuisine. Whether you want to go hiking, relax on the beach, or explore Cinque Terre, Gabriele is a great comprehensive resource. As a single female traveler, I felt extremely safe and would recommend this hotel to anyone.

This might be our favourite holiday destination to date. The property was great, very clean and comfortable. But the host, Gabriele, is amazing. We’d seen a lot of great reviews about the property and host but this still exceeded expectations. As good as hospitality gets. Close to all the great restaurants and the beach in the old town. Breakfast each day at the accommodation was the cherry on top. Thank you again!

RussiaIncredible location next to the main street and very close to the best public beach. Gabrielle is a wonderful host, he told me everything about the hikes and recommended how to split them between the two full days that I spent in Cinque Terre, while also allowing some time to swim. He also got me breakfast to go when I told him that I was going to miss breakfast because of the early time I started the hike. Will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Monterosso (which is also the perfect town choice if you want to swim as well as explore the hikes) and will stay here if (or hopefully when) I go back to Cinque Terre.

He carried my luggage up the stairs, made me coffee every morning and gave me advice on the best places to eat and visit. The hotel was in a wonderful location, close to everything. It was spotlessly clean and had good bathrooms.

This is probably the nicest hotel I’ve stayed at on this trip. Really a beautiful boutique hotel just metres from the beach and the centre of town. Of course it’s a small town. I wish I had stayed here my whole time on the Cinque Terra. Beautiful rooms, super clean and comfortable and a great breakfast. Really if you see this come up in your search grab it. It will make your trip perfect. Also the manager just was so helpful and went out of his way to make everything perfect. This place is a gem. 10/10

United StatesWell, what we loved most about our stay was Gabriele, the owner. He was so kind and gave us great suggestions on places to eat and things to do in the area. The location is superb! It is located in the older part of Monteroso, which in our opinion is much more authentic and quainter. There are many fantastic restaurants with several shops located within steps from the hotel. Our room had a nice view of the Ligurian Sea with a very short walk to the marina which was very convenient for meeting our boat for our sunset cruise. It was also a great location to begin our hike along the coast. Loved the breakfast as well. Very memorable stay with a fantastic host! Highly recommend Stella Della Marina!
