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.).

FinlandI got a very reasonably priced offer for a room - but the price was explained by the room. It was quite small, right next to the elevator and with not much sound insulation. I could hear the elevator going up and down and people in the corridor very well to late at night and early in the morning. So although the hotel in general is great I slept very poorly if at all. I wish I had known this about the room beforehand. The other rooms in the hotel are presumably much better, and I would stay here again.
The hotel area is gorgeous with a reasonably-priced restaurant overlooking the sea and the most beautiful private beach. The breakfast was more than you could hope for - good options also if you have food intolerances. The restaurant staff were very friendly. The hotel seems to have a lot of activities and facilities available, which unfortunately I didn't have time to explore during my short stay. The hotel is a 40-min walk / €15 taxi away from the town centre, but you'll easily also spend a few days just enjoying what the hotel has to offer.

United KingdomThe lunch was very expensive for what is was - maybe it was just what I chose. The chicken salad was very disappointing - just some basic lettuce leaves and a few slices of chicken breast. Certainly not worth 16 euros.
The room was very nice and had everything we needed. I would have liked a couple of chairs on the balcony as the hammock, albeit very quirky, wasn't for us. It's a bit of a walk into the town but a short taxi ride which was fine or we caught the bus one evening which was also good and very cheap. Breakfast was very good with a huge selection and a real barista serving coffees.

AustraliaSmall things but considering the price you’d expect better - Beds were uncomfortable, shampoo needs improving, balcony wasn’t private (see through to each balcony along side of hotel) Decent walk into town - consider just eating at resort while you stay or be prepared for taxi costs each trip
Private beach & dining deck over looking water was the highlight!

United KingdomWe had terrible weather (which obviously the property can’t control!) so could not have the opportunity to enjoy the beach or the pool during our stay as we were only there for 1 night!
Location was great and it was nice to stay in a proper hotel as we had been at B&B’s for the rest of our stay in Sicily. The room had a beautiful sea view, bed was comfortable and bathroom was spacious as well as having a great shower. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant which was A La Carte and breakfast the next morning was buffet style but all the food choices were very good.

United KingdomThis hotel is quite isolated so there aren't many options nearby to go and eat. We ate at the hotel the first night which was expensive and not that impressive. The next night we walked through hotel La Calette and around to Cefalu (20-25 minutes) and ate at Da Sasa which did good pizza and pasta. This hotel is expensive for what it is, but we had an enjoyable stay. I would recommend taking the train to Cefalu if you are coming from Palermo. Quick, easy and cheap tickets. Take a taxi to the hotel. It will cost you about €12.
I'd read the reviews for Kalura and knew it would be pot luck with the room. Ours was dated, but not bad and was very clean. It suited our family for our 2 night stay. We loved the beach and pool and found the staff kind and attentive. My girls also enjoyed the breakfast buffet and the barista was doing good coffee (included in the buffet price), which was a plus.

United StatesNot much to complain about..... if anything, one of the girls at the front desk was not overly friendly like our other experiences in Sicily. And lack of soaps/shampoos- easy fix.
We had a beautiful room with balcony overlooking the sea- spectacular views. Perfect way to end our time in Sicily. We had lunch and dinner on the patio which was also spectacular!
