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.).

South KoreaAfter confirming the reservation, we received a detailed e-mail from the accommodation. These information were delicate services that no hotel had The accommodation has a terrace with a burst ocean view, so we can see Panarea and Stromboli. Our room is very clean as a suit room, and furniture and bedding are arranged making the most of the space. As soon as we arrived, the owner was served a self baked cake and coffee, and we received meticulous service. With her help, we were able to use a rental car to visit the nearby Pollara. We were also able to enjoy a wealth of breakfast, including homemade bread and fresh juice. I want to rate it as the best accommodation for this trip. Once again, we would like to thank Giuliana, the owner of the accommodation.

IrelandStunning view,beautiful bedroom and great breakfast. Salina is like heaven on earth. We came from Taormina which is over populated and oppressive. Malfa was such a contrast. The restaurants are great in Malfa. I think a Alera has the best views around. The staff were super nice. I loved it all!!!

United KingdomNothing - it was great
The property is beautiful, very clean and the room is very modern but with a wonderful traditional touch. We stayed in a room which opened onto the shared terrance which has absolutely stunning views, where you can sit and enjoy the sunset. There is also a lower terrace next to the breakfast area with lots of seating and can be enjoyed by all. The room has many windows and was great to wake up to stunning views in the morning. The room has a mini bar which is restocked daily which was great also. Breakfast was very nice and served on the lower terrance which was a fantastic way to start your day. Location wise, the property is within 5 minutes walk to the Spaiggia cello Scario beach and around 10 to the town centre of Malfa. You can also easily walk to the small port, which is handy is you are doing a day boat trip to the other other islands as some of the tour companies do stop her. Overall I would highly recommend.

Everything! the host - super easy to communicate with, organized a taxi for us for our ferries and gave us a discount on her family-run restaurant in Malfa which was delicious! The rooms were a great size, cleaned every day (including topping up the minibar). The location - 2 mins to Malfa square and 4 mins to closest beach (all walking). We were also recommended by the host a Salina boat trip which was 30 euro per person for a 3 hour trip around the island including stop offs for beautiful swims. Breakfast was also fabulous. Will hopefully be back again!!

United StatesA Alera is a very modern and clean facility which is located in the beautiful town of Malfa and has an incredible views from both the public spaces and, in our case, our room. Breakfasts are excellent. Staff bent over backwards to not only make our stay excellent, but to share personal stories and thoughts that really made us feel at home. Whenever we asked about activities, car rentals, details about traveling on the island they were really helpful. Additionally there are some really fun restaurants within walking distance (including one which featured the very best meal we got in our two weeks in Sicily). If you have a chance, a visit to the local vineyard (which was arranged by A Alera), is a blast! Thanks to all for the great time we had!

United StatesWe stayed in the Junior Suite at A Alera which gave us some nice extra space and a beautiful view. We loved this small property and Giuliana, the owner, went above and beyond helping us with ferry and taxi transportation, and information about the island. The rooms were created out of their family home and such thoughtful touches: mini bar, robes, great shower, welcome gift, great hair dryer, drying rack for beach clothes, towels, etc. The place was immaculate and our daily room housekeeping lovely. It's a short walk to our favorite Salina beach, Scario, and a nice walk to town for dinner, catching the bus, etc. The uphill helped us work off all the pizza and pasta we ate. :-) They had some nice outdoor seating areas for guests, the breakfast was good with lots of fruit, pastries and typical Italian morning food and cappuccinos. Highly recommend, especially the Junior Suite.
