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 Arab EmiratesEverything was perfect. All details were considered to make my trip memorable and unique. It’s about making a relationship more than serving customers. I would like to mention the quality of the breakfast which was amazing food, nice staff, and breathtaking atmosphere. All my thanks to everyone who’s working there and I can’t wait to have my next visit in the future.

IrelandI do not really wish to be too negative bit I feel the hotel is not 5 star in certain aspects such as The hotel entrance/driveway need to be enhanced,it gives a bad 1st impression of a very impressive building,the wifi did not work for 3 days we stayed,the outside swimming pool was not open.A 5star hotel should have a heated pool. Balcony is tiny with no furniture The breakfast was only ok. The location of the hotel is a 15 min walk from town centre,thankfully there is bus stop outside.
Beautifully decorated hotel.Very nice bedrooms with great bathroom and very comfortable beds.Staff very nice and genuine,warm and enthusiastic,well trained and eager to please guests,deffo 5 star staff,.Spa staff especially nice. The Spa was the best I have ever used in any hotel and will be hard to find a better one.Also no charge to use which is a great feature.There is a bus stop outside the hotel,taxis are dear in Rapallo. We didnt use restaurants in the hotel.

SwitzerlandRain, but that’s not your fault. Rooms were elegant and clean and well appointed but somewhat dated. A tad out of town, but the amenities more than made up for it
Lovely common areas, classic and elegant feel, wonderful vibe, attentive and friendly staff, amazing view, somewhat easy walk into town, easy parking, top notch spa facilities. Room balcony had a panoramic view of town and the ocean. Wonderful breakfast offering with an amazing sea view. Such a nice touch to offer dog beds, food and water bowls and food treats. They felt like pampered pooches. The welcome drinks, Prosecco and sweet treats and complementary mini bar along with a hand written note made us feel very welcomed.

Switzerlandall in all, we are not sure if the price/performance ratio is really right. Compared to other hotels in the same category, we had the impression that the price here is at the upper end of the scale.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The view of the sea from the terrace and the pool area is exciting and the spa is realy great. Also the parking/the garage for cars is realy good and save. The food in the two restaurants did not quite meet our expectations. The fassade of the hotel needs maybe a light refreshment.
