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 KingdomSadly the reason we chose this place was because there is a small beach to the front. However there were diggers and dumpers as we were told work was being done to make it ready for June. We thought we could use the pool but that too was under repair. Quite a disappointment as this was our last few days after a week of travelling and we were looking forward to relaxing there. The apartments were functional and clean but not comfortable under the circumstances. It would have been ideal if the work men had finished.
Lovely location on the edge of Porto Venere with a pleasant walk along the coast to the town centre. Functional apartment with breakfast a little underwhelming but adequate.

Location is great. 15-20 mins promenade walk along the sea to the main touristic point. Was not expecting that hotel is so close to the beach. Also, we had a fantastic terrace, so entire family enjoyed it, especially our dog :)

UkraineThe hotel restaurant is closed during the low season. If you do not want to regularly walk to the center for lunch and dinner, it makes sense for you to look at rooms with a kitchen, this hotel also has such (they are about 25% more expensive. A room without a kitchen cost us about 100 euros per day). It is not an option to go to the center by car - parking is difficult, there is a bus, but it runs at fairly large intervals. The mattress on the double bed consists of two different ones, so in the morning a gap forms between them. It would be nice to order a whole mattress when upgrading to a double bed. In the low season, when the restaurant is closed, a kettle in the room (or at least a vending machine at the reception) would be nice.
We planned a visit to Portovenere in transit, but the dramatic beauty of this village made us stay here for 6 days (October 25-30, 2022). A cozy bay, the spirit of antiquity, which brings an ancient fortress, and colorful fishermen's houses - a place like from a picture. Despite the end of October, it was warm - + 23 C, both air and water. There are few tourists in the village in autumn, especially on weekdays. The hotel is located at the end of the bay, about 15 minutes walk to the center of the village and the fortress. The reception staff with excellent English and was exceptionally friendly (especially the girl expecting a baby). Most of the rooms have an extended balcony (that's why the hotel's name is Terrace). Therefore, you can comfortably sunbathe right in front of your room if you don’t want to go down to the sandy beach. The hotel has its own parking (for an additional 10 euros per day, as everywhere in Italy). Good internet. Regular housekeeping and nice clean rooms. A very convenient road along the sea is conducive to a leisurely walk. A big plus of the hotel's location in the low season is that when the sun sets, there is already shade on other beaches, and the sun is the last to leave the beach in front of La Terazze

Italyno shower stall holder for soap. no bathroom hooks for towels. no sponge for cleaning kitchen. can use a microwave oven and an electric water kettle, if the owner can provide them, it would be even more perfect.
check in reception was efficient and very helpful. view, location, and ambience are perfect. good for someone wanting a quiet place to write and read and have a promenade along the bay in the late afternoon. it is an ideal distance from the center of town as well.

IsraelSeveral pointa for improvement - We haven't tried the pool due to the weather conditions, but we didn't like the fact you should pay for renting a sunbed and sun-umbrella at the hotel you already sleep in. A cutting board attached to marble is no less than a disaster in terms of the amount of bacteria that remains on it. We did not use it and preferred to cut in the air. We didn't like to see so many signs mention the extra prices for washing the dishes or for a too-dirty towel and so. But we haven't charged for any. However, this is affecting the experience.
The balcony with an amazing view of the island and the Italian Rivera. There is a lock, which is always important for your safety. The parking is really convenient. We enjoyed our stay!
