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.).

AustraliaNothing! There are steep stairs to the apartment, as one would expect from a building this old and in the historical centre of town, but Dario insists on carrying all luggage up for guests,
Everything! Fabulous central location right in the old town, and 2” walk to the beach, surrounded by cafes and restaurants, but very quiet in the apartment. Very comfortable room and bed, so clean and tidy and access to the common kitchen area too. There are only 2 rooms for guests so it is very private and homely. But the best thing is the host Dario, he is truly committed to ensuring that his guests love Cefalu as much as he does, and goes out of his way at every step to ensure an exceptional stay for us. It is also very secure with 3 locked doors (front door, apartment door and room door). Also windows to fresh air which are also very secure when closed.

AustraliaWe thought there would be a balcony but it was a terrace to other apartments. It did have a clothesline which was helpful. Mild smell in the shower but that is pretty common in Sicily.
Dario and his mum were lovely. The breakfast was amazing and really thoughtful. Dario went out of his way to get fresh and locally sourced products. Room was exceptionally clean and well decorated. Bed was comfy and the shared kitchen and dining facilities were a nice touch, only one or 2 other rooms in the property so it felt like a private guest house. Location is fantastic.

AustriaI recently had the pleasure of staying at this delightful hotel in Cefalu, and it was an experience that exceeded all my expectations. The host, Dario, truly made this stay unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, his warm welcome and genuine hospitality set the tone for an incredible vacation. Dario’s attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction were evident in every aspect of the hotel. He was always available to answer any questions, provide local recommendations, and ensured that all our needs were promptly taken care of. His passion for his property and the region was infectious, and it made us feel like we were staying with a dear friend rather than at a hotel. The hotel itself was a hidden gem. The rooms were spacious, elegantly decorated, and impeccably clean, providing the perfect blend of comfort and luxury. Furthermore, the hotel’s location in the town center was ideal, with access to the beach in walking distance, and authentic Italian restaurants, as well as charming local shops all around us. In conclusion, I cannot recommend this property enough to anyone seeking a truly memorable and rejuvenating vacation. I’m already looking forward to returning to this little slice of paradise for another unforgettable stay!
