Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomWe had terrible weather (which obviously the property can’t control!) so could not have the opportunity to enjoy the beach or the pool during our stay as we were only there for 1 night!
Location was great and it was nice to stay in a proper hotel as we had been at B&B’s for the rest of our stay in Sicily. The room had a beautiful sea view, bed was comfortable and bathroom was spacious as well as having a great shower. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant which was A La Carte and breakfast the next morning was buffet style but all the food choices were very good.

United KingdomThis hotel is quite isolated so there aren't many options nearby to go and eat. We ate at the hotel the first night which was expensive and not that impressive. The next night we walked through hotel La Calette and around to Cefalu (20-25 minutes) and ate at Da Sasa which did good pizza and pasta. This hotel is expensive for what it is, but we had an enjoyable stay. I would recommend taking the train to Cefalu if you are coming from Palermo. Quick, easy and cheap tickets. Take a taxi to the hotel. It will cost you about €12.
I'd read the reviews for Kalura and knew it would be pot luck with the room. Ours was dated, but not bad and was very clean. It suited our family for our 2 night stay. We loved the beach and pool and found the staff kind and attentive. My girls also enjoyed the breakfast buffet and the barista was doing good coffee (included in the buffet price), which was a plus.

United States of AmericaNot much to complain about..... if anything, one of the girls at the front desk was not overly friendly like our other experiences in Sicily. And lack of soaps/shampoos- easy fix.
We had a beautiful room with balcony overlooking the sea- spectacular views. Perfect way to end our time in Sicily. We had lunch and dinner on the patio which was also spectacular!

FranceGreat place! There is a magnificent view from the hotel restaurant on the sea. The hotel beach was great, possible to swim by the rocks and enjoy the sun on the sun lounge chairs and sofas in different terraces overlooking the sea. There is a nice offer of activities: massages, yoga class in high season, tennis. They organised a tennis class for me with the instructor and it was great.

Saudi ArabiaLooks a bit dated. The staff is not super friendly. Seems like it’s a place that is used to accommodating large bus groups. Breakfast was hectic too with everything placed in different corners of the hall.
Access to a a private beach downstairs was neat. The pool is also a nice addition. Not too far from the city. It’s an easy 20-30 min walk.
