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 reviewBeautiful view, great stay! A bit of a walk down hill to the beach and up hill to the house, but worth it. There is a pay parking lot by the beach. Had read it was difficult to get bags upstairs, so we left our bags downstairs in kitchen area

Verified reviewThe host was incredibly helpful throughout our stay! She gave clear instructions with pictures explaining directions to the apartment. She also helped set up a taxi driver for us when we had travel issues in a nearby village. Would definitely stay here again!

Verified reviewThe view was amazing and the apartment was clean, spacious and well-supplied. Gaia was a wonderful host - she checked in regularly, offered recommendations, and helped with transport.
Note to other travelers - it's a steep 15 min walk to the house from the beach area. This would likely be lovely in cool weather (pretty views, houses etc.), but in the hot weather it was pretty tiring. Definitely take Gaia's suggestion to take a cab when you arrive if you have any luggage.

Verified reviewNice view
Initially host was helpful, then became extremely rude and harassing shortly after. I had visitors during my stay and she insisted they were staying even though I told her they weren’t, her family lives in the property next door and will be keeping an eye on you the whole time - was very uncomfortable. Meant to be a house so no daily cleaning service, yet you don’t have a laundry, or access to basic things like more toilet paper or towels. Finally, the location is a nightmare - great views but so impractical for getting to the beach. It’s a 30-40 min walk up /down a very steep hill and that’s only to the beach, the old town / city centre is another 20 mins from there - taxi (if you’re lucky to get one) is 20 euro for a 2 min trips. Nowhere to hire cars in the city. On check out she tried to claim that a door knob which was loose to begin with was my fault and wanted to charge me for it. I would not recommend this place for the price they’re charging. In my opinion - book way in advance so you can get accom in the old town or one of the other cities - manorola and riomagiore are the best looking ones for sure.
Dear guest I am very sorry to read reviews of this type, I always specify everything in detail so that you can spend your vacation in the best way, in fact as you may have read in the description of the house when you booked it is well highlighted that it is located 800 meters from the center reachable with a walk of 10 minutes (40 minutes maybe if you take breaks of 30 minutes along the lost) and it is equally highlighted that being a house and not a B & B is not included daily cleaning unless requested by the guest. Towels, toilet paper and detergent are provided, evidently not enough for you...As for the neighbors, I find it absurd and offensive of you to say that you were spied on from the moment no one came to knock on your door. Finally, the door handle before your arrival was in good working order, as were other utensils in the house, which I had to replace at my own expense after your departure. My advice? Read up before booking so you can avoid future dissatisfaction.

Verified reviewHouse is stunning and the host is lovely. However my only negative would be the location. You do need a taxi or a car if you stay at this property. Taxi is 15 euros each way. We did get used to it and we did walk to the centre but it was an atlethic challenge to do so. The host very polite and helpful. All appliances in the house are new. Beds super comfy no noise at night so really good sleeps. Host left breakfast for us and some sweets in the rooms which was a really nice touch.
I loved the house and how welcomed we felt by the host. However again, i did not enjoy not being able to walk to the centre’. I can imagine that the pool next door that you can see from the terrace makes a lot of people jelous in summer.

Verified reviewGreat views, host organised transport on arrival and departure which was most appreciative as the hill would be a challenge with luggage. Very clean, welcoming home including a basket of snacks, tea and coffee, the beds were comfy. Host checked in to make sure all was good, which was appreciated, easy and quick to respond when communicating. There is a bus that will bring you part of the way from the village.
Mindful that the internal staircase is quite narrow, take care coming down.

Verified reviewThe location was beautiful though it was a climb. Gaia got us a taxi for the first ride from the train station with our packs, and when we left after our stay. That was much appreciated! The rest of the time we got our workout in hiking down and back up with a cocktail on the balcony as our incentive! Gaia was very helpful making dinner reservations and recommendations. We truly enjoyed the view and our stay!
We would have loved to have met Gaia but we completely understand she was busy with a her new baby😊
Thank you very much for the kind words, I am always glad to read that my guests had a good stay. See you soon!!!

Verified reviewThe property was clean and had a beautiful view. Gaia had coffee and snacks waiting for us. She also had a driver pick us up at the train station so that we did not have to walk up the hill with our luggage. She was very responsive throughout our stay there. I highly recommend this place and am thankful I got to stay there.

Verified reviewLocation was on a steep hill and if you have a car you would need to be a confident driver. Garage for parking was good but again not easy to access. Apartment was clean and spacious.
The steep walk back to the apartment but the view is worth it

Verified reviewGreat view for a morning coffee. Everything you need for a self directed stay. We were very thankful for the Taxi when we arrived as the walk with luggage would be tough, but every other trip to and from the accommodation was done on foot even taking the luggage back down the hill. Clear communication throughout our stay and before and helpful leaflets when we arrived to orientate us. Thank you. C&N
Thank you so much!!! It was a pleasure, see you soon😀

Nothing to complain about. The location itself is at the top of a hill so you have to do a bit of walking from the beach, but the view is worth it

Verified reviewThe Sunrise apartment offers comfort, privacy, and beautiful views. Live like a local, away from the crowds and enjoy birds chirping and relaxing on the private patio overlooking the sea. This lodging provides a variety of outdoor lounging areas and all the amenities for longer term stay like full kitchen, comfy TV den, large modern bathroom and two bedrooms. The owner is easy to contact and has done a great job making this place warm and welcoming.
The apartment is split two levels so you need to be comfortable going up and down a spiral staircase. Contact the owner for the initial check in on arrival at the train station. She will help you get a taxi to get you and your luggage up to the lodging way up on the beautiful hillside above town. After you get all checked in, it is easier to walk to and from town after you've gotten your bearings.

Verified reviewLovely home with very beautiful views of the sea and hills in a nice and quiet location that is less than 10 minutes walk from Monterosso train station. The house with its very good amenities and setup made for a very warm welcome. All the rooms are spacious and well kept. Gaia is a very caring, attentive and responsive host who graciously answered to all the questions I had. Thanks Gaia! I would love to go back and stay at this place sometime in the future.
I am very pleased to read these reviews. I want my guests to feel at home and have a good holiday. Thanks again for the nice words and hope to see you again soon. Gaia
