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 StatesOutdoor dining was sometimes uncomfortable as there were a lot of wasps around the property. They are certainly trying to mitigate the wasps but we had to go back inside to eat because they were a nuisance.
Very friendly and helpful staff, stunning views, and very comfortable rooms!

AustraliaNothing.
Put simply everything. Warm friendly staff that went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Special acknowledgment to Giovanni and Antonio who served us with a smile every day. The chef made sure he had special courses for two vegans in the family and apparently their food was delicious. The hotel is perched up on a hill overlooking the town with magnificent sea views. The pool area is spacious and quiet with plenty of sun lounges. The sea view room was perfect. It is a ten minute walk into town downhill and a very strenuous walk back. The hotel recommended a boat company for a private tour of the beaches along the coast which was heaven. Villa Gustui Maris is a wonderful small hotel I would highly recommend it to families and couples.

United KingdomWe had an issue with the bath in our room which we couldn’t sort out, but it was time for our check-out.
The property is in a lovely location on the top of a hill. The surroundings are beautiful and the staff very accommodating and welcoming. After a 2:30hs drive in a very mountainous location I asked if we could check-in early and it was no problem. We really appreciated this as I was dizzy from all the turns of the drive. Just what we needed!

DenmarkLike other people have mentioned, its a steep walk back up from town, but the view makes it worth it! The breakfast buffet was nice, but not self-service, so sometimes there would be a bit of a wait, because there was only one person to serve everyone. Might be because of corona-restrictions, but we stayed at other hotels in Italy where this wasn't the case.
We spent 5 amazing days at Villa Gustui Maris, enjoying the amazing view of the Gulf of Orosei, going on hikes and a boat tour, relaxing by the pool and enjoying some really good local food in the restaurant! The staff were super friendly and very eager to help!

ItalyThe premium room is a little on the small side: limited space for luggage. The breakfast, while of good quality, could have been more abundant.
The location is great, away from the main noisy sea front but only a 10-minute was away. The staff are helpful and friendly.

GermanyOn arrival we got a room with almost no sea panorama view and we must change for a better room with extra costs but we were grateful to be able to change. A lot of products in restaurant can be frozen that's why we never ate there.

IrelandRestaurant wasnt taking bookings for dinner because the head chef was sick. This didnt inconvenience us too much because we wanted to see the town anyway but would have been difficult for any physically impaired or older people because it is a steep 20 minute walk back up to the hotel from the town. There is no bus service and only one taxi for the whole town too. Room was also very basic for the price, and breakfast was a bit chaotic with only one member of staff serving everyone. Not exactly good value for money.
Breathtaking views, we didn't get a chance to use the pool but it looked lovely. Rooms were clean and receptionist was very friendly.

NetherlandsFruit juices served during breakfast are horrible. Please serve fresh orange juice.
Wonderfully located high above the village of Cala Gonone. Hotel and grounds are well presented. Well kept pool, with (weather permitting) plenty of shade (umbrellas), but when windy hardly any shade at all. Restaurant has a nice outdoor dining area, but is (during our stay at least) very quiet indeed. Most guests seem to dine elsewhere, probably because there is only a (pricy) a-la-carte menu available. Perhaps the owners could consider introducing a fixed-price 3 or 4-course menu. Also maybe consider offering a shuttle service to town and back in the evening, for those that have had dinner in the restaurant and want to have a drink in town during the evening. Doing so may liven up things during dinner time. Very courteous staff and wonderful service. When we complained about the rather unforgiving beds, we were immediately upgraded to a bigger room with (somewhat) softer beds. Beautiful view over the bay of Orosei (rooms with sea-view).

GermanyThe internet was not good to put it mildly, didn´t work at all in our bedroom. Food/drink service was slow. The breakfast was good, but you couldn´t help yourself (perhaps due to Covid restrictions) and sometimes you had to wait a while until there was someone there to give you a breakfast roll.
Beautiful setting above the town (although a strenuous climb if without your own transport). Lovely pool and patio areas.
