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 KingdomThere were some ants inside the room astound balcony door end. The sound of doors slamming at early hours was awakening.
The view of the sea were breathtaking. The hotel was immaculately clean and tidy. Room was lovely and spacious with reasonably priced mini bar. Enjoyed having breakfast delivered to room to eat on balcony. Bed was very large and comfortable. Up to date electronic equipment and carving points. Amazingly powerful monsoon shower and large bathroom space for toiletries, etc. All staff were lovely and friendly throughout our stay.

United StatesThe shower is a bit small but that’s typical in Europe.
The property is beautiful. We stayed in the one bedroom apartment and loved the terrace with its own lemon tree. The view was incredible. One of our favorite things was having the breakfast delivered each morning and eating on the terrace. And the bed was comfortable. It was nice that you can order drinks delivered to your room or go up to the hotel lounge and order one and it has unbelievable views from there.

United StatesThey "upgraded" our room to a different room than the one we booked. The hot tub water temperature was cold. We contacted the staff, and they came up to check it. They agreed it was too cold, but said they couldn't get the temperature to go any higher.
The room size was great. The bed was comfortable, staff was friendly and helpful with answering questions.

United StatesPricey area, touristy and I bet jammed in the summer. Leave the car home.
Perfect sea view balconies in a relatively quiet town on Amafi coast. I was there pre season. For me it was a great place to just "be" and chill. Beautiful challenging hiking available, cute shops and great food of course.

Amazing stay! Everything is perfect. The hotel was absolutely gorgeous, we booked the double room and the view from the balcony was incredible. They delivered the breakfast to the room, we can enjoy it in the balcony. Staffs are very nice and friendly, location was great, easy reach to the beach by stairs or nice walk to the port. We will definitely book again if we come back.

United StatesThis really isn’t a negative, but there is price for that spectacular view. The town center and beaches are some 650 stairs below the hotel. If you think positively, consider it a workout do you can freely enjoy all the good food in Positano!
What a setting! Hotel Il Gabbiano sits on a cliffside high above the sea and cove below. The room is fairly simply appointed, but it has a light airy feel. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. But the best thing about the room is the terrace where you can soak in the view, sip a beverage, and enjoy the breakfast delivered to your room. Lucia at the front desk was wonderful!

United Arab EmiratesThe beds were small and was a tight fit for an averaged sized person.
Greta location and excellent views. Our room was spacious with a big balcony with amazing views. Breakfast was delivered fresh to the room and balcony every morning. Staff were very helpful. The hotel is also on the main road into town so was easy to get to without the need to carry bags up and down stairs. Also being on the road, if you didn’t want to climb 20 stories of stairs from the centre of town, you can stroll up the sloped road. There was also a great wine and cheese shop across the road for those afternoons of watching the sunset with a nice bottle of wine.
