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 KingdomThe use of spa facility is a little pricey considering the time allowed, only 90min. Also there was some building going to the side of apartment/pool which affected the view. I had a room with sea view.
Modern, comfortable, clean apartment and well located hotel.

United KingdomThe little beach is virtually inaccessible and not set up to sit on in anyway. The main beach is a very long walk away although wonderful when you get there. The pool is not heated. The bedroom storage is inadequate. Only 5 hangers and no drawers or shelves at all. We left most of our clothes in our cases. They charge for the sauna. Unheard of in any hotel I have ever stayed in. The breakfast was very basic. No hot food offered.
Cleanliness and very helpful staff. Walking distance to shops and restaurants.

GermanyThe pool was closed, even with nice sunny days and temperatures above 20°C. At least some beds and chairs and beds by the pool would be nice. Breakfast was poor… mainly sweets (as typical in Italy) and cakes…
The location is perfect and amazing views to the sea. The bedrooms are big and nice. The staff is very friendly.

NetherlandsThere's no beach. There's a little path (if you can call it that) that leads you to a rocky 'beach'. It smelled like urine and feces. It's very difficult to get in and out of the sea. Italy has a major problem with garbage. It really hurts to see how much garbage there is on the streets and in the sea. This sea was no exception. I like to snorkel, but sometimes it just feels you are snorkling in a garbage dump. The amount of plastic in the sea is shocking and mocks the fact that in the office and schools we are debating about the use of plastic straws and wooden stir sticks. Seriously. I find it shocking this is Europe. And it really is the same everywhere in Italy (I went to Sicily, Sardinia and South on the main land).
The girls at the check in were really nice. The hotel is good, the restaurant is good on the top floor overlooking the sea. We had a nice room with balcony and sea view.

United StatesWe didn't like that the hotel offered absolutely no housekeeping. 20€ charge for linen change and housekeeping is crazy considering we stayed a full week. I could understand charging for a few night stay, but I think it should have been offered at least twice considering how long we were there. We had to get our own toilet paper, take out our own trash, and get fresh towels as needed. I've stayed in many hotels and I've never had a place charge for housekeeping while staying an entire week. For this reason, it was more like an AirBnb stay which I didn't like. We chose a 4 star hotel for 4 star amenities, and this was a huge disappointment for me. Staff was accommodating with requests for fresh items, but I don't think a 4 star hotel should force you to take out your own trash. You also had to pay 50c for individual coffee pods. Again, just not 4 star hotel behavior. We enjoyed our stay, but little stuff like this really missed the mark.
Wonderful view and stay. Loved the breakfast- although not included, it had great variety and good coffees made to order. Pool was beautiful and had a great view- nice to have the bar on site although 10€ for a Spritz is high. Rooms were comfortable and clean, AC worked great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great massage down in the Spa.

GermanyWe stayed in the studio, which is not exactly as staying in the hotel. In our eight-day stay, the room was cleaned only one day, we had to ask and pick up toilet paper at the reception. Moreover, there’s no elevator to the third floor and we had to carry the luggage upstairs. Lastly, based on the photos, we thought this would be a two-room apartment, which was not.
The location couldn’t be better, right in the centre of the beautiful Castellammare del Golfo, with an breathtaking view to ocean. It was amazing to relax in the swimming pool with ocean view and very nice staff at the end of the day, after the beach
