Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

This hotel sold us a dream. An escape. A dream of a beautifully situated hotel overlooking the Ligurian sea, birds singing in the trees and the most beautiful landscaped gardens. The staff were always cheerful and went above and beyond to meet our needs. This dream delivers delicious food in a restaurant with an ambience that provides all the escapism you could ask for. I truely loved the Hotel Villa Belvedere and dream about going back some day! Thank you Thank you Thank you 😊

This stay exceeded all our expectations—it was exactly what I had hoped Italy would be like. Located just one village over from Monterosso (a quick 6-minute train ride), this spot offered a much quieter, more authentic experience away from the heavy crowds. The village is absolutely beautiful and a perfect place to relax. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the train station if you want to explore the other villages, and while the steps on the way back are a bit of a climb, the views at the top make it completely worth it! We were greeted at the station by the property’s shuttle bus, which was incredibly helpful. The staff couldn't have been kinder. But the true highlight was the view—sitting on the terrace at sunset with a drink in hand was simply priceless. The on-site restaurant was exceptional; we loved it so much we ended up dining there all four nights of our stay. I honestly can't recommend this place enough. We absolutely loved it!

CanadaThe bathroom in our room, though clean, could use a bit of TLC. Be forewarned that the drive to the property can be a bit daunting for a nervous driver. The last 10 minute stretch has some narrow roads and tight corners. Thankfully, given this is a less touristy area, you are likely to meet locals on the road who are much more skilled at navigating the road. The parking however was very easy.
We had a really lovely stay at the Hotel Villa Belvedere. Nestled in the hills of the small seaside town of Bonasolla, our room offered a lovely view onto the water. A quick (but steep) 5 minute walk is all it took to reach the pebble stone beach as well as the village shops and restaurants. We were also near some pretty hiking trails offering beautiful views of the coastline. Unfortunately, on the day we were visiting we had a downpour of rain all day so we weren’t able to venture out beyond Bonasolla so we can’t say how easy it was to visit Cinque Terre but we were told it was a quick train ride from the station right in Bonasolla. Instead, we stayed in and enjoyed the views from our little balcony and had a wonderful dinner in the hotel’s restaurant. The service all around was super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic (I am dreaming of their pistachio croissants). Would highly recommend if you are looking for a really relaxing, less touristy option on the Italian Riviera.

The best thing of the location is the view. The sea view is everywhere, as the hotel is well positioned. The restaurant of the hotel is very nice, and as the weather was good, we had dinner outside. The inside of the hotel is also very nice, traditional and a bit quirky. Our room was simple and had a balcony facing the sea. The beach and town are a 5-10 minute walk. We had a very relaxing stay.

Really lovely, friendly hotel in a perfect location over-looking the sea and an oasis of calm. The staff made us and our dog feel so welcome and this was a welcome retreat from the tourist packed Cinque Terre nearby. Short walk to the beach and also to the train station with trains down the coast to the Cinque Terre. The food was excellent particularly the dinners

CanadaA full length mirror and larger bathroom next time would ask for the balcony rooms they have larger bathrooms. The beds are firm not soft.
This is our second stay here. The location is close to the train station and they will pick you up if you ask. It is absolutely fabulous excellent breakfast with so much choice in their buffet. They also have an excellent restaurant where if you choose you can reserve a table outside where the view is outstanding. The staff are all friendly and helpful . The town Bonasola is quieter than the next town of Levanto but the beach is nicer and the vibe less hectic. This location is excellent as a base for visiting the Chique Terre towns. Great value for money.

Beautiful hotel, tastefully decorated, the views from the terrace were gorgeous. Lovely restaurant, beautiful decor, excellent freshly cooked food. Wonderful staff, friendly, welcoming, helpful. The girl from reception, went over and above to be helpful with train times and helping us to book a taxi to Levanto, to catch an express train to Pisa airport for our plane home. The same receptionist gave us advice on a trip to Portofino which include a boat trip to a monastery. Her local knowledge was extensive.
