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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Where do I start. I read a lot of reviews and this property delivered. From there moment I booked. The team were very helpful. I had to i had change the dates and add another bed. Nothing was a problem. We were met at the station and assisted with the luggage. More help when we arrived at the apartment to help us settle in. The view was amazing. The owners were on constant contact to make sure we had everyone we needed. Thank you so much for a memorable holiday. Definitely stay here. 10/10

United Statesnothing! Loved it all!
The photos of this rental do not do it justice as it is so much more than what you can see in the pictures. It is absolutely delightful, amazing, surprising and WONDERFUL. Just the views from the front balcony (20 ft x 15 ft) were great. You can look slightly to the right and see all the hikers climbing up the first hill (660 steps and I counted every one!) and you can look slightly to the left and directly at the Mediterranean. The bed was amazingly comfortable, the shower perfect, the kitchen was well-stocked and we were able to access Netflix with the TV. What more could you want??? It was sparkling clean - beyond clean really with not a speck of dust or anything else. I would recommend this to anyone at any time. The cleaner met us at the 'gate' and drove ahead of us. The free parking is right by the door! Amazing rental. One of our top 5 in the past 20 years. There is also a large, quiet terrazo at the back with chaise lounges. It's simply got everything.

United StatesWe loved everything. The only improvement would be to have a drying rack. We washed clothes and had to hang them over chairs to dry. This wasn't a problem for us, but beware that it's a steep climb up a hill to the building and then a lot of steps to the apartment with no elevator. With luggage, it's a challenge.
The two women who met us and took us to the apartment were awesome! The views were incredible with a spacious balcony looking out to the sea!! The apartment was lovely and very comfortable. We had plenty of room with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a wonderful living area. The location for us was great. It wasn't right in the middle of town, so it was quiet, but it was only a 10-minute walk into town. We highly recommend this place!

United KingdomCan't think of anything. It's a bit of a walk to get there, but then look at where you are.
Perfect accommodation for two couples, very well appointed apartment, big bed with crisp white sheets & fluffy white towels. Large balcony with a great view towards the sea & able to watch walkers tackle the steep climb opposite to Maranola. Would recommend this apartment without hesitation.

New ZealandThe upstairs bathroom was a challenge for tall people to shower without hitting their head on the ceiling. It would have been good to have 2 keys for the apartment as we were two couples who weren't always together.
Location was excellent, close to all town amenities. There was a hill to climb which could be challenging for older people or those without good mobility. The view was amazing from the balcony.

United KingdomNone of these comments are what i dont like, these are just comments of things to take note of. The ensuite upstairs is an actual shower now, not a bath over the shower as seen in the current pictures. Which was much better than expected. It still has a low ceiling but I am 5ft6 and it was perfectly fine. There is an ensuite downstairs too which has high ceilings so if you are tall then use the downstairs one. It really isn't an issue. The kitchen is new and modern and has been updated since the current pictures on booking.com. Also the downstairs bedroom has been updated to what we saw in the pictures.
This apartment is absolutely amazing, with the most incredible views from the balcony. The whole apartment is very spacious. There was 4 of us, 2 in each room but you could easily have 6 of you as there is a huge sofa bed in the upstairs bedroom. Even with the sofa bed open you would still have loads of space. There is also a huge build in wardrobe upstairs. The beds had plenty of room amd were so comfy. Plenty of facilities in the kitchen. The courtyard area has plenty of space and is off the downstairs bedroom. The place was very clean and the host was so lovely. Air con in every room was a dream. If you are there to hike then the walk from Riomaggiore to Manarola starts opposite the house. This hike takes about 45 minutes. I've added a picture of the view of the start of the walk from the balcony. I would definitely stay here again and Riomaggiore is my favourite of the 5 villages.

United StatesThis is a beautiful and large apartment with a fantastic balcony to sit out on and enjoy meals and drinks. The apartment is well equipped with everything including Prosecco and Nespresso as welcome gifts. The hosts met us at the train station and helped us with our luggage up the hill to the apartment. They are very responsive to any issues that arise and they are really just a quick text away. They really take pride in the cleanliness of the apartment and it shows. Claudia said that she cleans each apartment as if it were her own. John and his wife are excellent hosts. Only caution is at the apartment is at the top of the hill, but that gets you to the incredible views.

United StatesThe apartment was in a great location for us. It was not in the middle of the tourist section but close enough to the tourist section to be extremely convenient; a quick walk through a pedestrian tunnel. It was also very close to the train station; a short but steep walk. The apartment was very clean and cozy. We loved both the balcony and the patio. The pictures represented the accurately. Chiara met us at the train station and walked us to the apartment. There was a language barrier as we don't speak Italian nor Spanish and she doesn't speak English. Communication was great through WhatsApp. A small suggestion is to have some instructions regarding the air conditioning as we didn't realize you had to turn on the switch to get the air conditioner to work in the bedroom on the main floor. We would stay there again.

United StatesThere is nothing not to like.
We loved this home! It has the most beautiful view. It was clean and spacious. We were met at the train station and got help with our luggage as walked to the home. The hosts are attentive and caring. We would absolutely recommend it and would stay there again! The only thing that I would say to future visitors is that the shutters in the main downstairs bedroom DO shut to block the street light outside. We didn’t realize that at first and wish we had.

The large balcony gave us the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular view. The apartment totally met our expectations. Very well equipped, but a coffee pot would have been nice (for us Canadians). Expect to walk a very steep incline and steps to the apartment, but it is definitely worth it.

The location was spectacular - it was high above the town but surprisingly quick to get to. The space was perfect for a family of four; my husband and I slept in the room on the first floor and the upstairs bedroom and bathroom had a bit of a slope to the ceiling, which made it feel cozy for our 11-year-old boys.
