Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

RomaniaThe experience in this accommodation was extraordinary. We took the room with amalfi view, the room was very clean and had all the facilities presented in Booking. I had breakfast included, made by Katia, which was very delicious. Katia was very kind and gave us very useful tips on how to spend our time on the coast.

Katia is the nicest person I have ever met. She did everything to make me feel as good as possible. She lives in Amalfi and gave detailed and practical advice every day. The room was very clean with mesmerizing view in a historical place. I went to the Ravello on foot although I am not a sportman. The breakfast was varieted, delicious with perfect cappuccino. I think it was the best vacation of my life. Grazie :)

MexicoL'Antico Episcopio was one of my stays that I was most looking forward to, and it met all my expectations and more!! It is a beautiful place to spend your days on the Amalfi Coast. The location is incredible and the facilities are quality, very nice and clean!! But what made my stay so good was the attention we received from Katia. From days before we arrived she made sure our stay was good, and it was!! She is a very kind, open and happy person. Everything was beautiful, a very highly recommended place. Thank you very much Katia!!

CanadaBe warned that the bus doesn't come to Pontone as frequently as it does to Scala or Revello. If you want to avoid the stairs at the end of a long day, just be sure to double-check the bus schedules and plan accordingly. The last bus to Pontone can be crowded, but we didn't see anyone not able to get on (in September) from the initial stop. Also, just a heads up that Google Maps can get a bit confused about where you are up in the mountains, so sometimes it's difficult to tell if you're on the right road. A kind local helped us find the place on the first night after we wandered by his balcony looking lost a couple times. :) (Katia did provide excellent instructions for how to find the place from the bus stop, but our plans to arrive via the bus got thwarted, so we were coming from a different direction than expected!)
Our room had a beautiful view and the place as a whole was lovely. The AC didn't quite reach up to the loft, but there was a fan provided with a wonderfully long power chord, so that was sufficient for us. Shampoo, q-tips, a mini toothpaste, towels and washcloths were all provided. Breakfast was good (especially the fresh orange juice). We ordered primarily from the items included with the cost of the room (juice, coffee, cheese/cold cut plates, yogurt, pastries -- there was a good variety for the 3 days we were there) since the a la carte options (like omelettes) were a bit pricey for us. Katia provided instructions for how to find the property from the bus stop, kindly confirmed and re-confirmed the bus schedules for us (after we misread them upon arrival and didn't trust ourselves ever after), and pointed us to some convenient restaurants in Pontone only a couple minutes from the L'Antico Episcopio. Wandering around Pontone, you're well away from the crowds in Amalfi, so it's a much quieter vibe and you get a chance to really absorb some wonderful views. (Just wear comfortable shoes and be ready for stairs!)

United StatesKatia went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and almost like one of the locals. She was quick to give us helpful tips and to listen to what we had planned, letting us know what would and would not work. The property felt historic and like we were in a movie, with the views of the Mediterranean from our church-like hotel room. The breakfast in the morning was a huge help, and the suggestions for dinner at night were delicious as well. There is plenty to do in Pontone to experience the Amalfi Coast while avoiding tourists and crowds, but also close enough to dive into the chaos and fun that is Amalfi.

United StatesNo issues - it’s the best. Highly recommend!
Old charming building converted to a modern hotel. Killer view from the room! I got exactly the room pictured, and it was amazing! The room is clean, shower is modern and great, there is a fridge and a safe in the room, AC and extra fan do the job I keeping it comfortable. Breakfast is great, the best home-made croissant I’ve ever had! I felt very welcomed, and really enjoyed my visit! Highly recommended! Location is great, I could explore Pontone, walked down to Amalfi (about 45 minutes of a beautiful hike, but don’t do it at mid-day, do it before 10am), could walk to Scala and Ravello, but rented a scooter instead. Scooter parking is free in Pontone. There is also a direct bus to Amalfi if you have a luggage.
