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 reviewExcellent location. Directly across from seafront and beach. Five minute stroll to old town and 10/15 mins walk from train station. Surrounded by restaurants and cafes. Large balcony from bedroom overlooking the promenade and second balcony from living room also. Both balconies getting sun/shade at different times of the day, which is ideal. Apartment is comfortable and clean and kitchen has plenty of crockery etc. Air con in living room and fan in bedroom, both welcome in Summer season. Comfy bed and sofa bed. Debora was a warm and welcoming host. Communication with her pre arrival was excellent and her clear directions made journey from train station flawless. Water and snacks in apartment on arrival were appreciated. She advised re local eateries etc and was easily contactable via WhatsApp if needed. Would recommend for its wonderful location and would definitely stay here if in Cefalu again.
Nothing. But a sunbed for the balcony would be an added bonus!

Verified reviewFirst thing is that the host, Deborah, is an absolute gem. She was so helpful and accommodating to any requests. She gave us the very best of service and made us so welcome. The apartment is very comfortable with all the home comforts you need, including a washing machine.The rooms are all a reasonable size as are both balconies with the bedroom balcony overlooking the beach. The coffee and gelato shop downstairs is great for a carry out breakfast. There's also a small food store just around the corner. The best part though is that the beach is across the pedestrianised road. The situation cannot be beaten as the old town is a short stroll along the coast.

Verified reviewDebora was very friendly, welcoming and very, very helpful. She is the nicest person we have ever met on any holiday. The apartment was very clean and well stocked with snacks and a nice little gift on arrival. The apartment is in a great location with two balconies, perfect for watching the sunset. The washing machine was very useful, we could have packed less clothes.

Verified reviewThe host Debora met us on arrival the place was so nice clean and had such a nice feel. The balcony overlooking the beach was a perfect place to have an aperitivo and watch the sun go down. It had everything we needed and Debora had provided multiple snacks and water and was available to answer any local questions we had with also some great suggestions for dinner options. We had a great time there it really felt like “home”.

Verified reviewFanastic place! 10/10 would recommend! It's the perfect location with stunning views! Debora was incredibly sweet and made the check in & check out process efficient and easy. Super close to the train and was quiet at night yet you could hear the soothing waves if you kept the windows open. Easily one of my favorite place I’ve stayed at. It was cozy yet spacious and had a very homie feel.

Verified reviewThe view and location are spectacular. We were so close to the beach and could hear the waves all night long. Amazing! Most importantly, the hostess, Debora, was as kind to us as could possibly have been. My husband ended up with COVID, and then I got it, and she took such good care of us. She went grocery shopping for us and wouldn't let us pay her back. Each day she checked in on us to see how we were feeling. She called her doctor to ask how to help us, and she went out of her way to try to help us find a way to get to the hospital which was the only place that would administer Paxlovid. Having COVID in a foreign country is a little bit scary, but knowing that we could get advice from her was reassuring. If you gotta have COVID, sitting out on the deck with a view of the water as well as the old town can't be beat! The beach is amazing, and the water is very shallow for quite a ways out. The apartment was comfortable and well-equipped with items we needed, and the little grocery store is right around the corner. Restaurants are feet away, and the old town is about 5 minutes walk. We would come back!
