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 StatesHotel is old, so about what you would expect in facilities. The one thing that could easily be upgraded is towels and bedding. Towels were especially rough.
Staff is wonderful, as is the location.

United StatesBreakfast was "ok". Wasn't the best, wasn't the worst. Could use some scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage.
The location is good being away a bit from the down town area but close enough to walk. It was quiet. The room was nice, clean and a decent size bathroom. The court yard and grounds are nice and comfortable for just hanging out. Having parking near by was a big plus.

All the staff, even Mario the cat were fabulous. Helpful, polite and efficient. It felt like a happy family-run business. It was clean and comfortable with easy access to the village.

IrelandNo restaurant in the hotel. Only breakfast. Could do brilliantly. I needed food for a toddler and nowhere would cook a takeaway portion of food. So hotel food would be brilliant. Didn't like the smell of smoking in the halls, obviously people were smoking in their rooms. That's a personal pet hate. Language barrier between owners and myself..I have no Italian.
Location was brilliant. Lady owner is an absolutely beautiful lady, very kind. Balcony area was beautiful in the morning with a coffee. Birds and family cat entertained the toddler. Fabulous bar and area to relax after a long day

United KingdomThe hotel doesn’t take card payments at all which meant that I had to scrabble about for change to pay my city tax and bar bill upon check out as I didn’t have time to go all the way to the nearest ATM and then back before my train. It would be very helpful if there was a sign in reception explaining that no card payments are accepted or else that you are informed when checking in.
Location, in the newer part of Monterosso only 5 min walk from the train station and beach. Nice quiet outdoor area to relax with a drink before bed

United StatesThe shower was tight; had to turn water off and on during our showers to avoid flooding, beds were hard. AC would not cool room off at night.
The daily breakfast was good, several tour groups where there during our stay which made it crowded but doable. The room was clean, breakfast choices were typical European options.

United StatesTv signal wasn’t steady. They said it was due to rain. Moved fruit, wasn’t fresh but the hey did supply whole oranges. Breakfast was good otherwise. To have a better restaurant selection you needed to walk to the old town.
The location was close to the new town, beaches, & trains. Breakfast was 7-10. We could easily swim and walk back. Staff worked hard, especially 2 women that cleaned 50 tables.

United StatesThe towels
The owner and her staff were delightful and very helpful. The room was pretty tight but we expect to be cramped in Italy hotels. The towels were very scratchy. All in All a charming, if not elegant, hotel located in the heart of Monterosso. And it is the only town in Cinque Terra that you can drive to.

BelgiumThe hotel is a cosy, homey family hotel, perfectly located on a quiet street just off the beach promenade. The rooms and bathrooms may be smaller compared to chain hotels or hotels in other popular areas but the hotel is pristine and well maintained. What made our stay unforgettable was the incredibly friendly and accommodating staff who were there to greet us (and see us off) like we were family. If I find myself in the region again I would repeat.

AustraliaVery expensive comparison to other hotels in Italy. We chose this hotel for the parking which was advertised and included in the price. On departure we were charged 20 euro extra per day! Bit of a rude shock. When we arrived no one advised of this additional charge and the booking. Com website advertised as parking included.
Nice big room with good air conditioning. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Great location.

IrelandThe room was poorly cleaned on the Checking day. But we requested to clean and the problem was sorted. Everything was really old and the covers didn’t seem to be changed regularly. The AC was really loud and the toilet didn’t have leg space at all, we had to sit sideways to be able to use it.
The location was wonderful.

United StatesI killed a couple of large sized mosquitoes while in my bed and both were oozing with my blood. It was pretty obvious and I even made sure that housekeeping saw it. The stained sheets were not changed/replaced.
Breakfast was wonderful, with variety of breads, pastries, cheeses, salmon, etc.. I appreciated very much that the pot of coffee at my table was replaced promptly, upon request. Lovely gentleman who checked me in, is an asset to your establishment.
