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.).

Norway-
Very attentive wonderful people! Our stay was like a piece of heaven on Earth. The breakfast was nice and the place clean and comfortable. We had sunbeds on our balcony/terrace. The beach really close, and some wonderful restaurants nearby! The garden had amazing views, flowers and kitties. Going up and down the stairs its worth it but there are shortcuts with less stairs too, just ask the hosts. ♡ Thank you so much, we're looking forward to stay with you some other time soon!

GermanyThe view from our balcony and the garden every morning for breakfast was incredible. The staff were all excellent and made us feel right at home. Watching the two cats play around in the sun with the ocean view and a coffee really made our visit special.

United KingdomThe ONLY thing we didn't like so much was the rather out-dated hairdryer in the bathroom, but this is a tiny thing amongst a wonderful trip!
We absolutely loved our time in Positano and at Hotel Dormora Fornillo! It's hard to decide what was the best part! Firstly, it has to be the super friendly and helpful staff. Tiziana was so attentive with our breakfast and remembering the things we liked over the 4 days, whilst also suggesting things we could try. Franko was so sweet from start to finish, suggesting the best ways to walk around and the best restaurants in Positano - and we can vouch for these as we tried every single one! He also carried our bags up to the road on the last day and we found him very very kind. Secondly, it has to be the view from our room - this was spectacular and I am so glad we opted for the sea view! :) There were plenty of steps but we actually found it very manageable given we could always choose to take the slightly longer but windy road back up to our hotel rather than the steep steps. Overall, a wonderful experience and we'd love to return! Thanks Hotel Dimora Fornillo!

United KingdomObviously there are steps.....many, many steps. It's just part of the adventure but needs to be taken into account. There is a short walk from the drop off point to the hotel so it would be sensible not to go overloaded with bags. However, the hotel did bring our bags back up to the pick up point for us. I personally would have liked coffee making facilities in the room. The hair dryer isn't very powerful.
The view from our room (57) was absolutely amazing. The room was spacious with a large terrace which had two sun loungers & an elegant table and chairs. The room also has a mini fridge. Breakfast was offered in the garden overlooking the bay and we were offered a good selection. There is a part private pathway and gate down to the beach, which cuts out a little of the 'hike'.

United StatesThe narrow stairway near the hotel made it difficult to get our bags up and down to the street. Luckily they have a bellboy who helps with this!

United StatesWe found the facilities to be a bit outdated. The bed was quite uncomfortable and firm with thin blankets and pillows. The shower was good enough, but could probably use a good deep clean. The walls appeared to have old peeling paint. Another thing to consider- but we knew this before we booked- is the number of steps it takes to get to the hotel- just something to consider as it was quite tiring!
We mostly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Dimora Fornillo. We were grateful to have found a spot in Positano that was more reasonably priced compared to other nearby hotels. We loved the charming decor and the staff were very sweet and accommodating. The staff were great with their communication before our arrival, offering to help arrange excursions, restaurant reservations, and porter services for our luggage. Our room was quite spacious and had a door to the back terrace that had an amazing view of the coast- one of the mornings we had breakfast outside and it was gorgeous!

United KingdomThis hotel was beautiful and our favourite on the Amalfi Coast. The location means there is beautiful views in every direction and there is a beautiful garden to sit and enjoy them. The staff were so friendly and helpful and made a beautiful breakfast too! The hotel is close enough to enjoy a swim at Fornillo beach which we did every morning before breakfast. We will definitely be back!

AustraliaThe stairs!! But… if you’re coming to Positano… start stair training now. 150 steps down from the road and 450 steps down the beach from the hotel…not for the faint hearted!!
The Service! Especially Tiziana, was outstanding, from organising porters to directions, reservations etc. Get in touch with these guys before booking Capri Tours and more. The View is sensational and the room is authentic!
