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.).

SwitzerlandInstead of a 4, 6 or 8 course dinner we chose a starter and a main from the menu. The main was very minimal (50gr of fish or so) and seems like this was one of the courses of the 6 or 8 course menu, in terms of size.
From the first moment the personell and the building gave us a very homely feeling. Great athmosphere, very relaxed. And ofcourse the building, garden and views are gorgeous

United KingdomThis hotel is absolutely incredible! The moment you step inside, you are greeted with breathtaking views and a warm welcome from the entire staff. The gorgeous gardens and hidden pathways only enhance the beauty of this stunning establishment. The infinity pool, strategically positioned on the hillside, offers a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement with its built-in jacuzzi. And one of the most outstanding aspects of this hotel is the abundance of inviting spaces where you can sit and truly embrace the serene views and peacefulness of rural life.

BrazilDuring my recent stay at Hotel Villa Paola, I was thoroughly impressed by the delightful experience it offered. The hotel's ambiance was both beautiful and comfortable, complemented by its excellent location and convenient parking facilities. From the moment we arrived until the day of our departure, the exceptional level of service we received made our stay truly unforgettable. The staff at Hotel Villa Paola deserves special praise for their incredible hospitality and kindness. They went above and beyond to cater to our every need, assisting us with tour reservations and activities. Their genuine care and attentiveness added a special touch to our honeymoon, making it even more memorable. We were truly impressed by their attention to detail and personalized approach to guest service. Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Villa Paola. With its stunning ambiance, convenient location, and outstanding service, it surpassed our expectations and left a lasting impression. I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to return to Tropea and stay at this hotel once again.

United KingdomThis was a one-night stop for us as part of a trip around Southern Italy - we would have wanted to have stayed longer!
This is a real gem - highly recommended. From the moment we arrived the service from Francesco and all the members of staff was top-notch. They went out of their way to ensure we were having an enjoyable stay, without ever being intrusive. Personal touches (chocolates, notes, etc.) were discrete and very tasteful. The property itself is quirky and has been refurbished to a good standard. There are also very pleasant grounds to stroll around, with exceptional views out over the sea and towards Tropea. I would also highly recommend dinner here: Luca was a knowledgeable host with an infectious enthusiam for local produce and the food heritage of Calabria. Our meal was another highlight of our stay, with some memorable courses and rounded off with an intriguing Calabrian digestif (Joachim). The only downside was not having as much room as we might have liked for the generous breakfast spread in the morning! Overall, a wonderul stay, and we would very happily return for longer.

SwedenThey didn't have things like small bottles of body lotion, makeup sticks, makeup pads etc. in the hotel room. But shower gel and shampoo.
When we booked the accommodation, I thought it looked too good for be true. But the hotel exceeded all our expectations! We stayed there one week in end of May. The garden was blossoming at the time we were there, which made the garden incredibly beautiful, like a fairy tale. However, the thing that made this hotel to be the best hotel I have stayed at was the staff! Everyone was super friendly and polite, they made us feel welcomed and they didn't hesitate to help us with booking wine tasting or answer any question we made had. Our experience would not have been the same if it wasn't for the staff and their excellent level of service.

Beautiful grounds and renovated historic building. Wherever you went on the property you felt like you were in a 5 star facility. The best breakfast I’ve ever had in a hotel. What put it over the top for me was the quality attention paid to guests by the staff. They were professional, courteous and very skilled in providing a top-drawer experience for guests. A great team!
