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.).

NepalWe had such a wonderful time at Hotel Ravesi. The hotel is a peaceful oasis in the centre of Malfa. There are gardens, a rooftop terrace and a heated infinity pool and all with the most incredible view out to sea and of the neighbouring islands Stromboli and Panarea. Our room, which was recently refurbished, was beautiful and serene. The staff were lovely and went above and beyond to help us have the perfect stay, helping us organise activities and giving us advise on what to do on the island. Just amazing! We will be back for sure!

United StatesThis was one of our favorite hotels...ever. We were upgraded to a suite, but I suspect that every room here is superb. Ours had a small living area and a spacious bedroom. But the main reason to come to Ravesi is the sea. Our room had a large terrace with comfortable furniture and an incredible view over the Tyrrhenian Sea to Panarea and Stromboli. The pool is remarkable, an infinity pool with an ever broader view over the ocean. The hotel has lush gardens that spill far down the hillside toward the water and a beautiful terrace for aperitifs or a light lunch. The food is also excellent. Hard to imagine a better stay on an island in Europe.

United KingdomWhile the breakfast selection is very good, I would personally prefer a wider selection of cooked items (only scrambled eggs are available). That said, the breakfast is inexpensive compared to other hotels we stayed at in Sicily and cooked breakfast isn't really a 'thing' in Italy in quite the same way.
Above all the service provided by the staff is outstanding. The infinity pool and terrace with views of Panarea and Stromboli in the distance (after dark you can actually see Stromboli erupting from the terrace) is the standout feature of the hotel. The gardens are also beautiful. The bar is staffed by an excellent barman with a great selection of cocktails available. The beds are also especially comfy. The high review scores really are deserved.

Welcoming, relaxing, a special untouched place with charm and beauty. We had fresh homemade food from Mrs Ravesi and delicious cocktails. All made with love and the best ingredients. I loved the aeolian flatbread with fresh tomatoes, onion, olives, anchovies and the best capers I have ever tasted. The receptionists were so helpful with organisation taxis and ideas(boat ride, wine tasting and amazing sunset spot). A place to come back to. Please don’t change!

AustraliaNothing …perfection in all aspects.
The hotel is beautiful in all aspects. The rooms are authentically decorated, beautifully comfortable and immaculately clean. The pool area has an ambience of peace and tranquility as the gardens are so romantically created and maintained. Most of all the staff that run the hotel create a warm and family like atmosphere. At no time was anything too much to assist and support you with. This hotel should be rated five stars given the superior level of service. The food is delightful. Every time you turn around the corner, they have made the appearance of this hotel so charming. The ability to retain the original aspects of the architecture of the hotels history is a credit to them and makes this hotel quite unique to the island of Salina. It is located close to the village and allows you to walk to the local restaurants which are also lovely and gave wonderful local produce. They have a bar that you can sit in the garden and look out to the sea and the other Aeolian islands. This hotel is just heaven ..
