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 StatesHeard noises all night long, maybe doors closing near our room and someone knocking on the walls. Probably because we were next door to people that don't sleep? also the hair dryer was annoying in that you had to keep a button depressed with your hand or else the dryer didn't work. But those are minor details.
Loved the location, the size of the room and the amazing staff. the Breakfast was very nice. The bed was extremely comfortable and large! so close to walk to Portofino What a beautiful place! I would recommend to stay here!

United KingdomThere's no real bar or public areas. We returned back to the hotel at 4.45pm and the beachside bar was closed and there was no other bar or lounge to get a beer or coffee. Disappointing. The restaurant area is low in the building, next to the road with no view. Room size was good but the bathroom was tiny.
Great location and easy walk into Portofino. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The greeting when we turned up with our car was excellent. Bags were dealt with and the car parked for us.

United KingdomHotel Piccolo is stunningly stylish in an understated, elegant, perhaps glamorous kind of way. The personnel are exceptionally attentive and continuously available to assist with enquiries and requests. I accessed Portofino by bus and tried to walk back from the bus station to the hotel - one of the customer service staff then picked me up and drove me to the hotel which made it easier for me. Another member of staff advised me of a short tranquil walk into the city centre so that I could explore Portofino and later, another served me a glass of wine and suggested I might enjoy it by the private beach whilst the sun set. My hotel room was beautiful with minimalistic white decor and a very comfortable bed, a good hot shower and an excellent large balcony with two reclining loungers and a spectacular view of the sea and sailing boats. I also enjoyed a delicious meal on the terrace of the hotel's restaurant where the waiters were equally friendly, kind and attentive with great suggestions on the menu and wine choices. The hotel also has a private beach with beautiful views where I enjoyed an afternoon swim.

IcelandRestaurant was really good except for the lack of gluten-free food and vegan-courses. The prices are in general a little to high with regards to the rooms and the property as a whole.
The location is superb, room was fine, view magnificent, both from the room and the restaurant, private beach good, breakfast was fine and the staff was excellent, really friendly and helpful. Food was good and staff knowledgeable about both food and wine. Service at the beach was good.

United KingdomThe indoor restaurant was a little dated in the decor but great service and convenience makes you over look this.
great location, large spacious rooms, clean and comfortable. There is one entrance from below and a better pedestrian walkway from above, around a 5 minute walk to the centre of town. Lovely private terrace and bar over a small pebble public beach, not busy even on cruise ship days and very quiet at night and in the morning. Great service and good breakfast buffet.

FranceUnfortunately for us the hotel was full so I got about the worst room in the hotel without a view. Hotel is spread between several floors as can be expected given its location on a cliff edge.
Great location ... near the gorgeous town of Portofino and yet with access to sea with lovely calm water.

United Kingdomour room was grubby, the decoration was appalling and the wall had damp patches on it. the bathroom was grubby and quite unpleasant. the lighting was full and so dated. our room faced a wall which did not allow any brightness in the room. our room definitely needs a total upgrade. the common areas also need sprucing up, maybe black and red looked smart many years ago but it now looks dark and tired and again outdated.

United KingdomBathroom was very compact, floor in the room seemed to be sticky might have been because it was made out of plastic, im not quite sure what it was. The restaurant staff could be a bit more attentive to people that walk in, guide them to a table and ask if they want tea, coffe or hot food rather than have us come up to ask for things. We had a room with a sea view which was beautiful, problem was it was also on the road, so lots of noise at night with cars, buses and bikes. No wifi for our stay.
Location was beautiful. The staff at the reception were really friendly and helpful. Bed was comfy, room was cool.
