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.).

United StatesThis property has an interesting history and a fabulous location. The hotel, restaurant and grounds are well-maintained. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed and the beds are comfortable. The shower was large and there was plenty of hot water and water pressure. The patio is a lovely place to sip coffee in the morning or an aperitivo in the afternoon. The grounds are peaceful. There’s a lovely beach nearby.

United KingdomAn absolutely fabulous building steeped in history just far enough from the main track to be secluded (I visited off season); with easy parking, a fantastic rocky beach and great running / walking on the door step. Amazing staff with a great restaurant too.

AustraliaWe loved the location, facilities and ambience. Just sorry we could only stay one day as it was a short stop over on our travel to the north of Italy. The access to the electric car charger was another reason we booked the place as it made it very convenient not to have to hunt around for a charging place outside the hotel. An amazing room, excellent breakfast and the breathtaking location made this stay memorable . We will tell our friends about this place for sure

ItalyIt would be great if stuff take more time to show the property and explain how everything works. They just showed us the room. In the evening the access to the hotel (that was open during the day) from the sea side was closed. And no one from the stuff mentioned before how to get back there or told us about opening hour of the sea side gate. It took time to find a closed door and small bell in the darkness. Same way no explanation about changing rooms at the pool. No place to dry your swimsuits
The location is very beautiful and nicely maintained, breakfast and bistro/bar food is delicious

IcelandGreat in every way for relaxation in the garden or the pool or if you want to swim in the ocean, just 50 m away. The fortress itself is amazing. Good breakfast and for those who want to experience what Italy has to offer in food from the ocean, I highly recommend dinner at the restaurant on the terrace overlooking the sea. Perfect resipe for beautiful and romantic date.

United KingdomRoom (classic) slightly small. Exit routes toward public beach with its restaurants are not clear. Staff said only remote (and dark) access gate was open for residents via an entry-phone at night, whereas a much closer gate actually left open all the time but signed not available to residents. No-one stopped us, or other guests, using it but management should get messages right. Alternative (asphalt) route good for cars but too long for casual stroll.
Great location with oasis of green around charming eco-pool, plus of course right on sea front with direct access. great views and reasonably quiet. Good room decor, good breakfast, very helpful staff. Restaurant on terrace had splendid view and interesting, slightly fussy but fairly priced, food.

United KingdomHotel restaurant only offered expensive cordon bleu food, a 2 course meal with one glass of wine for 2 people was circa 100 euros. Early May is very quiet. This hotel would be at its best in June to September when its extensive outside space would be great for eating/drinking resting
Location was great, perfect for access to both beaches and best local restaurants.
