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...).

United KingdomThe location was disappointing, set off a busy road with no nearby shops or restaurants - the closest nice place to visit to eat and drink is Castello Normanno, a 30 min walk away along the busy road. Also disappointing that the pool was closed - on checking, I realised this was mentioned - though not very prominently - in the booking confirmation but I don't remember if being mentioned on the site when I booked, and the photo of the pool area was a major factor in my choice
Very comfortable rooms with lovely views out to sea. Good breakfast, (mostly) friendly staff, secure car park - albeit accessed by a very steep and narrow ramp!

SloveniaThe hotel is a bit older, especially the bathroom needs renovation. Dinner very limited and in a dark dining room, a bit scary. The problem is that there is no alternative nearby. Breakfast ok on the beautiful terrace above the sea. It is completely illogical that they do not allow swimming in the sea on the hotel beach when it is 28 degrees outside and the sea is 24 degrees Celsius.

NetherlandsManagement / owner of this hotel has a clear blind spot with regards to the state of furniture, paint status, and maintenance : - beds are really to old. We had a electricity problem in the room, Loud buzz all night. Bath edges has black mold. Safe was broken, 3 numbers did not function . Bankbed was really old wand broke when we sat on it. Lampshades we’re damaged . Matrassen are really really hard. - hire an external party and renew your furniture eg in the lobby : this has rotan furniture , which is painted white, and then is became dirty and the handles are now black with dirt from people s hands. I can honor an make a very long list but don’t want to as it is too cumbersome. Very obviously the owner of this hotel is milking revenu until things break down completely ; )
Great Location and friendly staff. Parking is easily available. TV has a lot of channels. Hotel is nicely airconditioned . Big hotel, full of guests but still quiet . Italians are friendly people. Nice lava rock formations at the sea side. Good place to relax at the pool bar and enjoy the sea . Great view on terras en restaurants are available with friendly staff. Poolbar restaurant has extremely friendly and professional staff during our stay. Staff at the counter is also very friendly . I liked them.

SwitzerlandThe "catch" of the peanuts and crackers disposed on the desk. No reference as to being free or charged! We assumed it would be free but to our surprise were charged as part of frigobar! Usually in a 4 star facility there is free water at disposal, especially in warm hemispheres like Sicily.
Hotel is well located and surrounded by a nice well entertained garden. Parking facility is well appreciated

AustraliaI ate a pasta marinara on the first night (14th September) at the main restaurant and the next day got food poisoning. The hotel staff were informed and did nothing to assist or offer compensation.
Breakfast was ok - a bit too consumer/crown plaza like. most things were prepacked. repetative. Stayed in IHG Milano for 1/2 the price and the breakfasts were superb. Allmost homemade and very very fresh.

United KingdomLittle way out of town which was great for us as quiet, but might be a problem for those without transport.
This is a beautiful, traditional Italian hotel that has been kept in that style. Amazing views across the sea. Brilliant breakfast with a huge variety. High quality food in the evening with great service from all team members. Very large, comfortable bed. Special mention to Sergio the barman. There were around 100 cocktails on the menu and he appeared to be able to make them all from memory, with a super cool, chilled demeanour.

SwitzerlandSome of the employees was really unfriendly and make you not comfortable at this beautiful place the breakfast was also not really good not fresh fruit juice everyday the same thing and hard to order a coffee and cutlery’s :/ at the table (because some table was not ready for new people coming for breakfast and there is no reception for the breakfast) Also it was our honeymoon and I write them a message to notice this I was expected something nice for our arrival at the room the only things we get is a bucket of fruit (so we didn’t know if it was a thing for every customer arrived or not ) We was surprised they didn’t do any effort for this I think the minimum and it’s not a lot it’s to put some roses to make us feeling welcoming for our new capter in our life
The hotel the pool and some of the employees was really good ! Also we ask to change the room and they did so really nice from them The bar next to the pool is nice to have this
