How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewRita is the perect hostess - she met us at check in and ensured we were happy, and also served breakfast each morning. There is parking on the outer road of Orbetello and you can get a parking permit when you check in so you only need to pay for 30mins whilst you find Il Gabbiano, ask for permit and then go back to dispay it in your car. We had a generously sized room with a lovely shower room. The main square is 30 seconds from the front door, and there are lots of great restaurants and bars to choose from once you have completed your evening's passegiatta!
The apartment is very close to the main square so there was some noise late into the evening - but thats not a criticism of the accommodation, just for information!

Verified reviewI absolutely loved my stay! The property was spotless and a great size – really comfortable and spacious. The shower had amazing water pressure, which is always a bonus! The location was perfect – tucked away in a peaceful area but surrounded by beautiful restaurants and bars. It was just a short walk to the beach and had great transport links, making it easy to get around. The host was wonderful and made me feel so welcome. The breakfast in the morning was delicious – such a lovely touch. Overall, it was a calm, relaxing place to stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with everything close by. I wanted to extend my stay I loved it that much but was fully booked!

Verified reviewThis is a beautiful property in a lovely town. The entire property is in wonderful repair, very clean and beautifully decorated .The host is lovely and assisted with the luggage and provided a nice breakfast.
You must park blocks away and tote your luggage to the property. It’s located in a no drive zone and no instructions were given on how to access the property. If you follow a GPS you’ll be directed to a no drive zone. I’m afraid I’ll be getting a whopping fine so be aware. Also this is a 3rd floor walk up and would not be ideal if you have any physical impairment.
