How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Could have done with an electric kettle and also a way to control the heating ourselves, had to keep texting to ask for the heating to be turned on.
Perfect base for a trip to Cinque Terra ..the view was excellent, right on the waters edge . Many restaurants and a little shop nearby. Train station was a stones throw away. The hosts were so friendly and quick to reply!

Eight internal half spiral steps from the front door. A handrail addition would be safer getting luggage in and out.
Exceptional view from living areas. Convenience to all in Rio, and train station. Homely feel to a compact apartment. Comfortable queen mattress. TV actually had an English channel. And coffee machine with Lavazza pods.

It's a little noisy in the evenings till about 1am due to the restuarant below but we didn't really find this an issue. And it's worth it for the location!
This apartment is all about the view! I don't think you could find better, the perfect thing to wake up to. It's really close to the train station so very easy to get to and also great for getting to the other villages. The host was also super helpful and responsive. The flat itself is small but comfortable and clean.

A kettle would have been handy as we had to boil water in a saucepan to make tea. The showerhead should probably be replaced as water was only coming out of the holes in the centre.
Grandma Nuccia met us and showed us to our apartment. Location and view was brilliant. Would recommend to stay there, and we would stay there again. The ability to hand wash clothes after hiking and hang them out to dry was great,

Shower takes ages to heat up and the shower head needs fixing. No heating that we could find but I'm sure in the summer it'll be fine.
The lady who met us was delightful. The view is spectacular and location is great (the town is small anyhow).

Everything …so central and sea breeze keeps heat under control. Also recommendation to eat in Rio Bistro downstairs was so good. We did not realise this was Michelin Star restaurant and the tasting menu was such an experience You are in the town centre and walk at nighttime through village is beautiful.
