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.).

United KingdomVery little. There are some realities to living on a nature resort that you must accept - there's lots of birds and lots of (non-biting) insects for the birds to eat. There is no shop on the island so come prepared!
The location is remote and private. The staff are welcoming, accomodating and happy to chat. The rooms are modern, clean with excellent A/C (try to book a room with a balcony). The beds are comfortable and there is complimentary water in the mini-bar. We stayed 3 nights and wish it could have been more..I recommend more than 1 night to take advantage of the location. There is an east facing private beach with sun beds and umbrellas. The breakfast is very impressive, with lots of choice and unlimited coffee. The restaurant does excellent ravioli, chianina and pasta with chingiale with a lovely wine list.

MaltaThe fact that getting to and off the island can only be done from one point ie San Feliciano .
The peace and tranquility that you feel on this island is unique. Food was really good and staff were very helpful.

United KingdomEverything was great.
A super stylish hotel in an old villa by the waters edge. 50 metres from the cheap ferry, which ran frequently and offered free parking at the ferry pier. The room was beautifully stylish, the photos do it no justice, and facilities were first rate. The staff could not be faulted, they were engaging, helpful and could not have done more for us. The food looked and tasted appetising. Finally, the setting was tranquil. Super easy to park, to get the ferry and get to the hotel. Don't let the logistics put you off a magical stay.

AustriaThe Mosquitos in the evening... But thats nobodys fault.
Super friendly and helpful Staff. Very quiet place, even though the tourist arrive and leave right front of the Hotel. Food was good, and the feeling to sleep on that little island was special. We had a big terrace.

NetherlandsThe only downside of our stay was the high amount of mosquitoes and wasps, which made it difficult to enjoy our massive balcony. But obviously that's not the resort's fault, that's just nature. Make sure you bring long sleeves and repellent.
We had a great stay. I broke my ankle just before my trip so ended up coming in a wheelchair and the staff did everything to make us as comfortable as possible. They even offered to drive me around the island on the golf cart since I (obviously) couldn't hike or bike. Even the people from the ferry you need to take to get the island were super helpful (no cars on the ferry/island). Food was great, room was clean and comfortable. Had a great stay, would recommend!

MaltaThe restaurant’s food dishes and quality as well as the service leaves a lot to be desired, it can be improved A LOT. And at night, you need to travel out by boat to get dinner from somewhere else, so guests are very dependent on the restaurant for dinnertime.
The tranquil location, beautiful scenery and naturally beautiful island. And the reception staff and front desk service is top notch. Our room with balcony overlooking the island’s front was beautiful.

ItalyThe beach area could be improved
I really enjoyed to experience of taking a ferryboat to reach the property and their frequency was sufficient not to feel cut off from the rest of the world. The island was bigger than expected with things to see and do.

United KingdomNot as advertised. The whole island was pretty much desolate, felt like a ghost town. Pool wasn’t well kept, beach was hardly a beach and more a bit of gravel leading up to murky water. Bars felt unwelcoming too, all 2 of them…. If you’re looking for a nice walk in the sun / woods, do a day trip here, not worth staying the night at the resort. If you’re looking for a fun day out, I’d try another lake all together.
Hotel was clean.

GuernseyThe lack of staff let's the place down as the staff they have perform many tasks during a very long day, this staffing problem seems to be throughout Italy.
Fantastic peaceful location with helpful staff and very nice room. Great for nature with plenty of wild birds etc.

IrelandThe exterior of our room (Balcony) was filthy everything was covered in cobwebs and dead insects. Our main problem was the parking at the dock. We parked beside the ferry dock overnight only to find that our car had been broken into overnight while we were on the island. A more secure parking place for guests is obviously a must.
Location is beautiful. The island is a stunning place

GermanyWhile the place has a lot of potential, the quality of the service (especially at the reception) is highly unprofessional and unfriendly. In our case, the room booking clearly stated the room has a balcony. However, this was not the case for our room and the reception was not willing to deal with this issue. Indeed, they even reacted quite arrogant. Also during the breakfast, the service time was incredibly long and especially the head of staff preferred to chat with guests instead of supporting the overwhelmed service staff. In general, the whole building is in a bad shape and not in a welcoming condition.
The island is really beautiful.
