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...).

The balcony view was amazing you look down the city & partial view of ocean. It’s a Vintage hotel. Breakfast was outdoor with a breathtaking view & wide variety of food. It is a walk downhill to get to city center but then going back to hotel was a bit of struggle.

United States of AmericaWe paid extra for a large, premium room in order to have a balcony. However, the AC system in the room turns off if you use the balcony at all. So your choice is to forego the balcony and be comfortable, or use the balcony and roast in the heat. I would not recommend paying up for the top tier rooms during season for this reason, but would recommend staying at this hotel in one of the junior rooms.
Excellent view, service, and location.

United KingdomArriving by boat with a suitcase is tricky as taxis are so far away , although there are ‘Portas’ who can at (€10 per suitcase) take your luggage to your hotel. Arriving from the mainland (airport) shouldn’t be an issue as taxis can drop you off at the hotel entrance.
A beautiful authentic hotel perched on the side on the hill, the views over Positano are stunning. The breakfast offering was adequate, the quality of pastries very good. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, they couldn’t do enough for you.

The owner and her staff are something to admire - probably the best hospitality we have ever had. Nothing was too much to ask of them, very willing to go the extra mile and very friendly/polite. The location is close to many shops, restaurants, and bars, yet high enough on the hill to be away from very bustling streets. We actually ended up loving the II Tridente restaurant/bar and the amenities of our suite that we spent most of our time relaxing at the hotel.

United States of AmericaOnly that we couldn’t stay longer!
Everything! Immediate first class treatment from first step on property. We were early, room wasn’t ready so they upgraded us to a bigger suite with a terrace bigger than the room and overlooked all of Positano. Staff was attentive and always there for you from housekeeping to bartenders to waiters to the front desk. Buffet breakfast with mimosa and Bloody Mary bar was delicious. Manager, Firenza(?sorry?) answered every question and had our backs the entire stay.

IrelandNo major dislikes.
I was bamboozled by the choice of hotels in Positano. it was a special holiday and I was hoping to have the best experience possible for our 2 day visit. I looked at all the high & mid range options. I had, in fact, booked a more expensive hotel when I came across a review for this hotel independently. I’m delighted I chose The Poseidon. This is a no fuss, authentically delightful vintage hotel. It’s not hung up on being overly cool or luxurious, which is refreshing and relaxing. The view from the balcony is amazing. Our room ( we luckily got a last minute upgrade to the Wow room) was gorgeous. The food was delicious, the pool and Tridente restaurant were faultless. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. it’s a short stroll down to the water. A winning hotel in my humble opinion.

BahrainNothing . Everyone and everything was perfect.
The hotel is absolutely the best choice in Positano! Built in 1955, it retains the classic feel while being in perfect condition. The ocean view room is the best in the area , a view of the cliffs and ocean is stunning day and night. The staff are some of the nicest and most professional people you'll see in the hospitality sector. I can't thank them enough. The rooms are large and beautiful. The restaurant and poolside lounge is one of the best views in the area ....I would recommend it for people not staying in the hotel as well. Food and service was absolutely amazing! If you plan to visit the area, then Positano is the best spot and Poseidon is definitely the best hotel. I'm booking the same hotel and room in my next visit without even thinking.
