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.).

SwitzerlandThis is the most wonderful hotel you could wish for, when you're staying on Salina! The staff is exceptionally friendly and helps you with everything you need or want. Every day they prepare a nice breakfeast and in the evening a great aperitifo experience. The terrace on which you drink and eat has a wonderful view over the nearby islands and the piazza, which is situated right next to it. When staying here, you can feel the life on Salina and the wonderful people living on the island. The beach is just a minute away from your hotel room, as well as a plethora of great restaurants. After a few days staying here, you will meet familiar faces who greet you with a smile and make your holiday experience a one of a kind. What a wonderful place we definitely will return to.

The staff was the best part of our stay. everyone was so friendly and helpful. the rooms were lovely- the beds comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. the breakfast was great and the aperitivo on the terrace was heaven- great drink options are available served with a wonderful selection of snacks to enjoy while you gaze at the sea. the location is perfection. it’s so close to the port- just a quick walk from the ferry. the bus stops right in front of the hotel if you want to explore the island. and there is a beach directly in front for a swim. the back of the hotel leads directly to the main street full of restaurants and shops.

My girlfriend and I had an incredible stay. The stuff was kind and helpful. The breakfast buffet was amazing and the beach is right in front of the reception. We’ll be back. As written in older reviews, it is worth it to book an apartment with balcony.

United StatesThe hotel has no parking, so if you rent a car during your stay on the island finding a place to park can be a question of luck. If you rely on island transport or you use the port to visit other islands, the location is great.
The location was within easy walking distance from where the hydrofoil docks and adjacent to the main shopping street. Nice view from the terrace where you have breakfast. The room was a nice size, the air conditioner worked well, and the bathroom and shower were more than adequate. But what made the stay memorable was the helpful, kind, and joyful staff. Contact before our arrival was excellent and that same level of attention to detail was consistent through our stay and our departure.
