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 KingdomTo be honest - absolutely nothing. We enjoyed the week that we had there and this was the perfect base.
A beautiful property with stunning views over the bay. The staff were all so friendly and the food at breakfast and dinner was always fresh and delicious. We loved being slightly remote, despite not having a car. The hotel driving service was perfect for us and we used it regularly for trips in the local area.

MalaysiaHotel guests should be well informed of what to expect on the road situation leading up the hotel so as to be better prepared.
Was a rather challenging drive up to the hotel which is situated on top of the hill as the road is rather narrow. However, fortunately they do have a transfer available at a cost and overall, the experience is very pleasant. The view from the hotel is undoubtedly spectacular.

United KingdomPool was cold, as you'd expect in Spring! Only small improvement could have been more of a bar area - staff very kindly brought beers to the outside patio when we asked but we felt bad taking them out of their other tasks.
Beautiful, secluded hotel - gorgeous outside seating and the views are unparalleled. Every staff member was lovely but, as another review says, Valentino is really the 'heart' of the place. Windy road to get up to the hotel which I wouldn't love to tackle at night so we opted to eat at the restaurant all three nights and each meal was truly excellent, and reasonably priced! Breakfast was good too. Would definitely come again.

United StatesOur stay here was perfect. The hotel was so lovely, with updated accommodations. The hotel sits high above the Bay of La Spezia. The views of the Bay are spectacular! If you are accustomed to driving the roads of Italy, the drive up to the hotel is fine. The staff is very friendly. Book a room here, you will not regret it!

AustraliaThe rooms were lovely with everything you need. Just the bed was a little hard and lacked sound proofing between the rooms especially in the hallway. Otherwise it was fabulous.
Great location and our room had a beautiful view of the harbour. All the staff were friendly. We had a lovely dinner one night and enjoyed the breakfast every morning. We drove to La Spezia train station within 12 mins to visit Cinque Terre. The jacuzzi was fabulous after a big day of sight seeing.

GermanyWe loved absolutely everything! The rooms are spacious and impeccable in terms of cleanliness. The place is run by two people who have all the professionalism you can hope for and on top of that really care about Theo customers and accommodate every wish. - We could pick up a coffee prior to breakfast and have glasses from the bar for our “own” wine. The food in the restaurant is great and exceeds what you can expect from a hotel restaurant. Prices are more than reasonable They also have a vast selection of wine and again you can take the house wine, which is absolutely fine or chose from the local or international selection. The place is quiet and has a lovely pool and beautiful garden and terraces with lemon and clementine trees as well as many local plants. It feels like you are at the garden of Eden. Perfect for Lovers or old still-in-love couples like us. What you cannot do: walk into town. You need a car, as there are no boardwalks nor lights at night and it is a drive of around 10 minutes to go to town. However, you can always get a taxi for ca 25 Euros per trip.

United KingdomIt’s quite difficult to get to without a car and the local taxi drivers are a bit reluctant to drive up there which is a shame. There are steps down to a bus but they are not very well maintained.
The view across the city is amazing and our room was in a great position and very large.

Côte d'IvoireVery difficult access without a car, I wouldn't recommend to go there without a car. We travelled by train and you can only access the hotel by taxi that adds around 25€ per trip. This makes it difficult to explore the region during the stay.
The hotel is small and cosy, super nice staff brings a relaxing atmosphere. The view is stunning and every room has a balcony with sea view. The pool is a highlight. The room was small but comfortable. The restaurant was really good.
