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.).

PolandOur staying in Raphael Hotel in Arbatax was wonderful! Very nice staff, wonderful breakfasts, many restaurants nearby with very tasty Italian food. The place is outstanding, the view from the terrace is magnificent! The beds were very comfortable and the neighborhood was very calm and with great landscapes.

United KingdomArbatax is a little rundown but has its charm and there are some splendid other places to visit in the area. Would have preferred the parking to be private rather than on the pavement outside.
The staff were exceptionally cheerful and efficient and we particularly liked the roof terraces both for breakfast and an aperitif.

United KingdomThe hotel is a boutique hotel and has a very intimate feel. The staff are all really friendly and they are happy to help with day trip recommendations. Breakfast is fantastic and Julia will go above and beyond to make what you like. The hotel is in easy walking distance of 5 - 10 good restaurants.

SwedenOur stay at Hotel Raphael was truly exceptional, surpassing all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with delightful welcome drinks, setting the tone for a personalized and unforgettable experience. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction, treating us like cherished family members. Every detail was thoughtfully attended to, and the personal touches from the staff made us feel truly valued. They remembered our preferences, provided insightful recommendations, and accommodated our every request with a genuine sense of care. The exceptional service extended to the breakfast experience, where the staff catered to our needs, creating a memorable start to each day. Not only did Hotel Raphael offer exceptional service, but it also provided breathtaking views from the terrace. We were captivated by the panoramic scenery, offering a serene backdrop to relax and take in the beauty of our surroundings. The meticulously maintained grounds added to the overall charm, providing a tranquil and enchanting environment. We wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Raphael for an extraordinary stay where you'll be treated to welcome drinks, personalized service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like a cherished guest. Thank you, Hotel Raphael, for the unforgettable memories. We eagerly anticipate our return to this haven of hospitality.

GermanyThe room was very nice with a stunning bathroom and a quiet terrace. The location is very nice. Directly in the centre of Arbatax near the harbour and just a short walk away from the best restaurants in town. Breakfast was also very nice. Fresh scrambled eggs and ham upon demand. Also a nice selection of cheese is available as well as ham and sausages. WiFi worked well.

GermanyThe hotel is impeccable and comfortable at the same time. Is a family run hotel where you will get a personalised experience. It is very well located walking distance to two small rock beaches and the tourist port, but also close enough to drive to beautiful sand beaches. Has a small pool and a nice garden if you just want to stay in and relax, and a rooftop terrace to enjoy the sunset. Breakfast is very good with fresh cheese and ham from the region. Very much recommended if you are looking for quiet vacation days.

Polandthe only but small drawback - the owner was pushing us to let the cleaning in while we’d rather stay at our room… he literally said that we MUST let them in even if we didn’t want that… well, when I rent a room at the hotel, I’d rather stay there whenever I want for how long I want…
