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 States of AmericaPerfect stay, no complaints. Stairs could be challenging for some, especially if they have mobility issues.
Lovely, spacious room, with a beautiful view. Christina and her staff are professional, helpful and friendly. Breakfast on the terrace was a delight. Also, enjoyed dining at Pupetto's seaside restaurant. Excellent food & service! Hotel is conveniently located, just a short, walkable distance from town.

The staff, especially Francesco and Roberta, were extremely helpful. They were always willing to help. Francesco was extraordinary. We can see that he is passionate in his work and always with a smile. It’s a pleasure to see him in the morning in the restaurant during breakfast.

United States of AmericaThe bed was not really comfortable and the pillows were awful. The room was clean but not deep cleaned. The bed smelled a little like urine our first couple days there and there was a wad of black hair attached to the shower wall. Air conditioner was old and could hardly cool room enough to be comfortable.
This property has an excellent location, near the road with beautiful views. The room was beautiful with bright colorful tiles, high ceilings, and roomy spaces. Large updated bathroom. Our balcony had a great view and we enjoyed relaxing on it morning and night.

We felt close enough to city center to enjoy but far enough away to not feel overwhelmed by the crowds. I would love to visit again.

The location in Fornillo is perfect as it only a 10-15 minute walk to the centre of Positano, via Hotel Pupetto (down many stairs). The views from the terrace and balconies are exactly what you see in the photos. The staff are helpful, rooms are clean and a good choice for breakfast.

United KingdomLike all hotels in Positano, the stairs and walk is a lot. This hotel was in the second bay so did talk about half an hour walk to get into the centre and longer going back uphill. However, the views were stunning in the walk. Reception is quite confusing to find, if enter via the beach you need to follow the path round and you will reach the hotel rooms on first entering the hotel. You need to use the lift and go to the top floor to reach reception. A sign explaining this would have been useful. A shop in the hotel complex would have made it better as there were no local shops around.
The staff at the hotel were fantastic. The reception staff were so helpful and informative during the stay, the breakfast staff went above and beyond their service and the staff moving the luggage were fantastic. The hotel offers a luggage service to transport your luggage which was great as we could not have carried it all that way ourselves- make sure you arrange this with the hotel before arriving. They even dropped our luggage back off after storing it for the day at the port to save us from going back to the hotel and transporting it ourselves. The room was large with great balcony and the shower had a nice window looking out. The breakfasts was fantastic with a lovely view on the terrace and tasty cooked options.

RomaniaMight be a problem for you, even though it wasn’t for us: there are around 200 stair steps to go down to the beach and back to the hotel.
The stay was very pleasant: the room was clean, spacious, and had a great balcony view. The staff were accomodating and kind, while breakfast was well-organized and fresh. Bonus advice: request a room at a higher floor for better views.

BrazilJust be advised that there are a lot of stairs in and out of the Hotel.
Perfect stay. The hotel is well located, near the Fornillo beach, accessible by a private path, and near the bus stop to the city center (which is not far even by walking). The amenities are nice and clean, it has the true Amalfi coast vibes, and the views are really beautiful. It was wonderful waking up hearing the birds and looking at the sea. Breakfast was good, staff was friendly.
