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...).

ItalyWonderful apartment! The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s very large and spacious. Immaculately clean. Has everything you need for an extended stay. The wonderful hostess has a fresh baked breakfast loaf and a fruit bowl with local assortment of ripe fruit as well as orange juice, water and milk. Don’t hesitate to book here.

United KingdomThe hostess was in regular contact & even helped us with the location of where to park our car and was awaiting our arrival. The property is located in a beautiful part of the city and the views are amazing. The weather was incredibly hot when we arrived but we were well looked after with the AC. There is good amount of room at the property and the bathroom is lovely with good water pressure in the shower. There is not enough nice things I can say about our experience, would definitely recommend for both the property & the hostess!

United KingdomVilla and Host were fantastic couldnt have asked for more. Just be aware of the limitations of transport in the Amalfi/Ravello area.
Host - amazing. Helped us with arranging transportation to the Villa and was there waiting for our arrival to welcome us. Villa has beautiful views, is very clean and worth every penny. The host kindly had some chilled water and orange in the fridge, with cake and fruit ready in the kitchen area. The garden terrace provides lovely views and the opportunity to relax. Bedroom and bathroom perfect for what we needed. Slightly out of the hustle and bustle of Ravello which was perfect for us also.

CanadaRoad noise can be a bit loud at certain times of the day if the windows are open....but life is for the living, so in the grand scheme of things, nothing more than a mild nuisance.
Pride of ownership, care & well being of patrons in abundance with this villa suite. Sabrina is genuine & top! For the three nights we spent, it felt like home to us. You won't be disappointed.

Villa Gelsomina is a hidden gem! Away from all of the busy hotels downtown Ravello. The space is white, clean and minimalist which is exactly how we like our spaces. The walk to Ravello town square is around 10 minutes only and boasts some really amazing views. We loved walking to and from the town square each day. We stayed in the Iris suite which is on the second floor and has two balconies with French doors that open to a magnificent view of the sea and the mountains and down to Minori. Our host, Sabrina, was so warm and welcoming to us upon arrival and greeted us with a lemon cake! The kitchen has everything you need if you have an extended stay. Sabrina would check in with us via WhatsApp to make sure we had what we needed and offered recommendations for places to see and good restaurants. Our last night in town she even got us reservations at a sold out restaurant! If you are a light sleeper, I would recommend eat plus since the balconies sit right above the road into the city from Naples. But with ear plugs, we didn’t hear much noise at all. Each suite has a private garden area with views of the mountains, sea and the city of Minori, which is really beautiful during the day and night. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a private and quiet place to day trip out to the surrounding cities on the Amalfi coast. 10/10, amazing property! Thank you Sabrina!

United States of AmericaNothing it really was a fantastic stay.
Sabrina met us at the villa and had organized a cab ride for us from the airport. As we were arriving late in the evening she had kindly bought us groceries as requested and baked the most delicious lemon cake ive ever tasted! On top of that she let me see both villas so I could choose the one that served me best, which was so so kind. She really goes out of her way to make sure you have the loveliest of stays. The Villa has lovely touches in addition to being really tastefully decorated like the lit stairs to the garden and the additional optional blue light that adds a lovely hue in the bathroom which has a great roomy shower. The garden has a breathtaking view and you can take a lovely walk into Ravello or take the steep but rewarding steps down to Minori, or there are buses to Amalfi and the seaside towns and ferries to Portofino. All are lovely but I honestly loved Ravello the most. The beds were super comfortable too. I have wanted to go to the Amalfi coast for ages and it really was everything I hoped for, Thank you Sabrina for making us so welcome.

NorwayI cannot recommend staying here enough! We truly had the most amazing stay at Villa Gelsomina! The apartment had absolutely everything we needed. So clean and very beautifully decorated. Everything seems brand new. The view over Maiori from the terrasse is breathtaking! we spent many evenings enjoying a glass of wine on the sunbeds with enchanting lights hanging in the tree. But the best part of Villa Gelsomina is Sebrina! Sebrina is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met. My luggage was late from our airport at home and it took 6 days before it arrived at the airport in Napoli. She organized the transport of the luggage to the apartment and was in contact with people at the airport the entire week! She saved me from so much stress and made sure it would be picked up in Napoli by someone she knew. She will give you the best recommendations and her hospitality will make you want to return. There is no doubt in my mind; we will be back! 💗
