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 KingdomNothing… the loo seats are not soft closing? That’s literally all I can think of!! Also would have loved the hot tub in February but it was clear in advert that seasonal.
Gorgeously equipped villa with fantastic view and all comforts provided. Lucilla the hostess is welcoming, generous with her welcome food and unobtrusive ( lives above). We had a lovely time cycling the hills nearby and walking to portofino and through the cinque terre villages. Trains are super easy to get around on but parking in the garage is fine. Suggest small car for Italy!

Singaporenot much. only the narrow drive up to the place
Villa Mares was definitely more than what we expected. Although the drive up was rather narrow, the views from the villa was amazing. We were greeted by the very friendly host, Lucilla, who welcomed us and gave us a tour of the estate. In addition, she welcomed us with some piping hot bread/pizza when we arrived. We loved the pleasant colour scheme of the rooms and the villa was fully furnished with practically everything. There are 2 bedrooms and 3 toilets/baths and very nicely designed. What we were impressed with was how every room had separate air conditioning and heaters too (very important especially since we went there in spring and it was cold). The mattress and pillows were so good, we had one of the best sleep in Italy in Villa Mares. We have to say that everything was very well-thought and designed and would highly recommend to book this place in Rapallo. Plus, it is only a 20 minutes drive to Portofino.

United KingdomJust be aware that there is a steep climb up and down between Villa and town. It is a short distance ( 10-15 minutes walk) but steep.
What an amazing place to stay! We loved it. Every detail was perfect, including the best view imaginable. The room and garden are beautiful. The breakfast is also delicious with lots of home made treats. I’d love to visit again.

SlovakiaWe had a perfect stay at Villa Mares. It is a beautiful villa located above Rapallo with a lush green garden perfect for sitting outside and drink good Italian wine. Our room was really nice decorated and equipped with everything you need and the cherry on the top was our outstanding bathroom. Lucilla is an amazing host with all her nice tips for places to visit not only in Rapallo/ forget Portofino, Camogli was highlit of our trip/. We also loved breakfast served on the upper terrace with a stunnig sea view. We would definitely reccomend this place to anyone. Daniela and Pavol G.
