Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

JordanOn the foto we see people sitting on that special “ Balkon” just above the sea. But it was closed for some construction, even nobody was working there. I would have liked to sit there, like on the pic.
It was clean, very nice room with a relatively big bathroom, very quiet.

AustraliaTv would come on randomly but we unplugged it because we were from overseas and did not speak Italian! Aircon issue but staff rectified this quickly. Bed was firm and pillows low but had the best nights sleep on both nights so no complaints!
Fantastic location right on the water just at the edge of the main strip. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Older property but well maintained. Lift access with no stairs so we’re able to get our heavy suitcases to our room without any lifting which was great. We had a room at the front overlooking the water with a little balcony and the view was stunning.

United States of AmericaWith no fault of the hotel, the private beach was inaccessible due to a local water problem. Parking is very difficult and time consuming to find spaces close to the hotel....or anywhere for that matter. Again, not an issue unique to this hotel.
Waldo and Iris were available at the front desk, throughout the day, to help with all of our questions and concerns. They are both very friendly and professional. The location in Rapallo is excellent for easy access to ferries, restaurants and shopping. I appreciated that, after our first day, I was asked via email what my first impressions were. Given the opportunity, I communicated issues with the pillows and bed firmness They immediately made corrective efforts to fix the issues and our 6 night stay was much more comfortable as a result. I also learned that it was more efficient to go to them at the front desk for any questions/concerns, as they were able to communicate clearly in many languages (for tourists like myself that don't speak or understand Italian), providing a much less frustrating experience for all parties involved.

IrelandThe open large hole opposite the hotel and the smell of sewage and stagnant water from same. In the photos on booking.com it showed a lovely roundabout not a big hole in the ground.The works should be done much quicker with added resources and personnel and equipment, seemingly it wont be completed until 2026, it was not mentioned on booking.com.The rest of the town is very nice. We were given an upgrade we were told, but was probably to keep us quite and keep us away from the roadworks and smell of sewage from the big hole. You could not swim in the water beside hotel because the water was gray and horrible looking. Smell of sewage on first floor landing in hotel also. Ants in room but was sorted. Mosquitoes in room when you opened door to veranda, probably from the stagnant water hole across the road. Otherwise it was a lovely stay and would probably go back again, if they have the big hole across from the hotel fixed, as it runs the atmosphere for both visitors and local buisness. All staff were very helpful. Lovely part of Italy and enjoyed our time there.
The central location for exploring the coast.

GermanyBut the room smells really bad (smells like a public toilette). Maybe the bad smell is due to the current construction near the hotel. Besides, the beds were the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept on. It was like sleeping on a hard rock. There is a beach which is NOT private and the area where you can lay next to the water costs extra (15 euro per person, per day) and you must reserve one day in advance. That was really disappointing considering that I have booked this hotel in order to rest next to the water and I did not expect to pay extra for that .
Staff was really lovely. That was the best. Room is spacious enough. The bathroom was clean and modern. Beautiful view of you have a balcony . There is a small fridge in the room and a decent closet.
