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.).

SwedenThere is work being done on the road, for those coming from the south (Sicily, Tropea…), which means that the access to the hotel is modified. Adding at least an extra hour to your trip due to the detour. Of course it's not the hotel's fault, just a warning!
Great view! Good structure, accessible for wheelchair and people with low mobility, they have elevator. Also offer a heated pool. Really nice breakfast.

United KingdomRoom was smaller than we'd anticipated - our fault for not checking the details before booking.
Hotel is beautifully located, with views west to watch the sunset into the sea. Tasteful public areas and the on-site standalone restaurant was one of the best meals we had on our trip. For what we paid, the room was comfortable with big bed, good bathroom, good wi-fi and very clean. However, we only had a juliet balcony and the room was very small - if you can afford it, it would be worth paying for a room with a balcony to make the most of those views! But there are lots of public areas with seating if not. Staff were friendly and helpful.

ItalyThe sauna and jacuzzi were not in use and shouldn’t be in the description. I think the lido is misleading as it’s a service that is added to your bill rather than a service at your disposal.
The sea views were lovely and it was secluded and peaceful.

United KingdomIn the restaurant there was a very morose waiter.
It was very easy to find and had a restaurant so ideal for a stopover. It also had an indoor swimming pool which was really welcome on a really hot day. Outside was really nicely landscaped, you forgot you were just off a main road. And we had a view of the sea. The room was very spacious.

United StatesWe didn't know that they charge you for the water bottles you take from the mini fridge in the room until we paid our bill at the end, and they charged about €27 for the 15 or so small bottles we took. Since there's no store nearby, you don't have an option but to buy their water unless you're ok with drinking the tap water. I don't have a problem with them charging for the water, but I think they should let you know that it's not included with the room rate and they shouldn't charge that much. Also, when we were trying to find the hotel, Google Maps by mistake took us down a steep, narrow road that became a muddy dirt road at one point. It thought the hotel entrance was down closer to the coast when in fact it's right on the main road. This could be easily fixed if the hotel corrects the location of the Google Maps pin.
Very beautiful grounds and views of the sea. It's right on the road the runs along the coast, so it's easy to get to, and it's surrounded by gorgeous mountains and pretty beaches. It's a beautiful place to vacation if you want somewhere that's not very touristy, is calm, and has charm. The only downside to the location is that it's not close to any stores and not many restaurants, and the hotel doesn't have supplies like aloe vera or sunscreen. The hotel's restaurant is fantastic but a bit pricey, and there's a great restaurant called The White Horse very close by. The hotel parking lot is a bit small but we were always able to find parking. If not, we could have just parked in front of their restaurant I'm sure. The restaurant staff were all great. The breakfast, which was included, was really nice. It's not a buffet, you have to tell the waiters want you want and they bring it out to you. They make several different types of coffee drinks to order for you. You can also ask for juice, yogurt, fruit, sweet bakery items, savory items (all cold), and cereal.

United StatesThe hotel is situated south of Maratea in an isolated area that has no shops or grocery stores nearby. If you are traveling by train, you need to carefully plan your train trips. Maratea train station is an hour and a half walk from the hotel but there is a tiny train station called Marina di Maratea which is an 11 minute walk from the hotel. However, most trains bypass this station. There are only about 3 trains that stop at the station - one very early at 7:44am and then again around 1pm and 3:30pm. There are no buses that serve Maratea and surrounds. So be very careful when booking your train tickets to ensure you stop at the right station.
What a gem of a hotel. It has wonderful facilities, a gorgeous indoor rim pool and lovely patios that look out at stunning views of the Maratea coast. Our room was very spacious, had wonderful air conditioning, a nice sized bathroom, and a small fridge. The beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. The hotel is literally in the middle of nowhere so we had our dinners at the on-site restaurant, which is reasonably priced and serves great food. There’s not much to do in the area except relax at the pool or the beach, so we did the James Bond Kayaking tour with Enrico, which was fantastic and such fun and very good value for money. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

ItalyThe only 2 small criticisms I could make - and they’re more of doable suggestions to be honest - are: 1. to add a few more tables and chairs to the beautiful terrace they have. It’s a wonderful place to watch one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world and it’s also a great place to sit and have an after dinner drink before going to bed - would be good to just have even 2 or 3 more tables and sets of chairs…then it would be really perfect! 2. Some mosquito nets on the windows in the room would really help guests enjoy that incredible view as they get ready to go out or come back..!
This hotel has a simply wonderful location with amazing views of the beautiful coast of Maratea. It’s also situated close to a range of wonderful beaches with fantastic lidos. The staff are friendly and helpful and always welcoming and they serve a wonderful Italian breakfast as you gaze at the beautiful sea and mountains in the distance. The restaurant attached is also fantastic, with delicious dishes. Ok it’s only 3 stars, but honestly, with a location like this, friendly staff and a nice breakfast, who cares! It’s lovely!
