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...).

First, it’s in a great location, with a very beautiful view and close to the main shopping and restaurant street, without being noisy. Second, the host is very welcoming and helpful. And third, the property itself is so pretty - simple, but spotlessly clean and very comfortable - and exactly right for a sunny island holiday.

United States of AmericaHot water ran out, but we take long showers.
The location is perfect, away from town but right at the end of the main street, with a little mart close by. Very quiet and clean and beautiful with its white walls and blue trim and lovely garden. Nice, firm beds. Air conditioning if you need it. There is a terrace to sun bathe or watch the stars at night. Angela was so helpful and extremely kind and patient with us as we tried to figure things out with transfers. She makes a wonderful cappucino in the morning. We loved this place and found it hard to leave. Thank you, for everything, Angela and all the staff! We love your place.

AustraliaThat five days passed so quickly!
We loved our five nights at Hotel Punta Barone. The hotel is definitely in one of the best locations on the island. We hope to go back! The host, Angela was superb - charming, informative and will give you all the information on trips and tours to make your stay perfect. The rooms are well equipped and the laundry facilities were much appreciated. Everything has been considered to ensure guests have a wonderful time. The deck looking out to Stromboli and the ocean was a sensational spot for evening drinks. A beautiful pebble beach is just below. Just paradise in every way.

Lovely simple room with a great view close to the pedestrian street in Santa Maria de Salina. Easy parking on the street for our scooter and stone beach nearby. The best part was the host Angela, such a lovely woman. She had a way of explaining things in Italian so I could understand even though I don’t speak the language:)

IrelandAngela is an amazing host - she greeted us on arrival, offered coffee, fresh juices and gave us recommendations on what to do in Salina, including renting a scooter (delivered at the hotel itself). The hotel is a gem, overlooking the sea and the islands of Vulcano, Panarea and Stromboli - if visibility is clear, you can also see the volcano of Stromboli steaming & bursting at night. The room was impeccably clean and the window overlooking the sea and the other islands made it so dreamy! Breakfast was freshly made every morning with home baked cakes, fresh croissants, bread and fruits. We will definitely be back & can’t recommend this place enough!

GermanyLovely hotel situated above the beach. The premises are tastefully furnished with beautiful places to sit and overlook the sea. The location of the hotel is excellent - not too far from the ferry and near the pedestrian area with shops an restaurants. The owner Angela was very friendly and helpful and gave us a lot of information about Salina, for example very good hiking maps. We had a great time and hope to come back one day.

United States of AmericaEverything was great!
It was a relaxing hotel to stay at! The owner greeted and offered us juice and coffee upon arrival. The view was fabulous and our room faced the ocean! We could leave the window open and hear the waves of the ocean as we slept. The beach is in front of hotel. Also the AC worked great on those extra hot days! And the location is perfect, just 7 minutes by foot from the port. We were able to even rent a scooter right from the hotel with ease. Next to us on the beach, was this really cool limoncello shaped kiosk bar that opened from happy hour until the wee hours of the night playing all sorts of tunes from jazz to late night lounge. We loved it all! My only suggestion would be faster WiFi, but other then that, this place was awesome and we would go back in a heartbeat!

AustraliaThe manager/owner Angela went out of her way to make us welcome, completely unfazed by our early arrival (and our very poor Italian), and gave us detailed and excellent local information, and very kindly organised breakfast for us despite our very early ferry on the day of departure. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious, particularly the bathroom (unlike many European hotels!). Salina is a beautiful place, and this hotel is extremely charming- it is what small Italian hotels used to be like. If you come to Salina (and you should) Hotel Punta Barone should be your destination of choice.

United KingdomNothing at all.
The hotel has a fabulous situation on the shore, separated from the pebble beach only by a low-rise little house, and planned on multiple levels so all face the sea. It’s conveniently situated at the quiet end of the main street, so restaurants and bars are nearby. It’s a pleasant walk from the ferry (700 m along the seaside promenade). Our room was perfectly clean and comfortable and spacious. It looked out across the sea over roofs of those below which were being scrubbed and whitewashed for the summer. (In May, we were almost the only guests). The view was idyllic, taking in Lipari with Panarea and Stromboli in the distance, very quiet in the evening. We made ourselves wake up early each morning to watch the dawn coming and sunrise reflecting in the sea. The hotel is very much the personal establishment of the wonderful proprietor Angela, who ensures that it’s all excellent. She was very welcoming and hospitable, going out of her way to be helpful. And she provided an excellent buffet breakfast every morning, in an airy dining room with view over the sea. As long as one of the party can speak some Italian, this is the perfect place to stay.

United States of AmericaThis was a wonderful place. We had a very nice room with a little balcony and a panoramic view of the sea, Stromboli and Panarea. It was immaculate. There are several terraces. You can always find sun or shade. The delicious breakfast was served in a room with a view in all directions. The hotel has a great location on the edge of town. Completely quiet except for the sounds of the sea but an easy 10 minute walk along the water from the ferry. The host was very friendly and helpful. We wish we could have stayed longer.
