Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

HungaryWe had a wonderful week at Ca’amae! Best located, really clean, cosy accomodation with a great view. Gianluca and the whole staff is super frendly! Ca’amae has the best cafe and the best pizza in the town. Portovenere is so cute and sleepy in March. We loved it.

We loved everything in Portovenere.. Our mini apart was lovely with perfect view. Breakfast with lots of cafe latte & croissants & foccacios.. As expected in Italy.. Although it was out of season and several restaurants were closed we had perfect diners and lunch.. Promenade on the sea side was wonderful... Foccaceria something to come back.. Fresh fish seller, woman, was noted..

United StatesI rate this property a 10. There’s nothing we didn’t like.
Perfect location with direct access to ferries to 5 Terre. Breakfast was “whatever you wanted”, eggs, focaccia sandwiches, fruit, brioche-all freshly prepared and delivered with super friendly staff led by Luca, the owner. They went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. They treated us like family. Upon leaving, Luca carted our luggage straight to our parking garage. Who does this? They do. Highly recommend stay here and ask for a balcony that overlooks the northern end of the gulf of poets.

United StatesLocation…we took the boat to reach Cinque Terre. Coming back it was too late for the boat so we had to take the train to La Spezia. Once there, all taxis were on strike and there is no Uber. It was extremely difficult and expensive finding a solution to get back to Porto Venere.

SingaporeLocation of Ca Amae is stellar. Right in front of the marina in Portovenere, exactly in the direction where the terrace of our room was looking to, enjoying a drink from the terrace with the view was a must. The staff at this hotel were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We wanted to explore some dining options in town, and we actually decided to always have dinner with them in the restaurant downstairs because how nice they were with us during all our stay. We did enjoy late evenings watching Euro Cup games, enjoying great wine from different Ligure wine makers, talking with the hotel staff, enjoying their food, etc. Also, having Portovenere as base to go around Cinque Terre was a great idea, not to crowded (specially evenings), you are able to take the boat just 2min walk from the Hotel!, In summary, a fantastic experience, one of the most welcoming staff I've ever met, for sure we'll try to come back again!

United StatesThere was absolutely nothing we didn't like.
We spent 3 nights in the Al Gabbiano Suite. We wished we could have stayed longer. It was the perfect location for visiting CT. The ferry boat left within a very short walk. We enjoyed Portovenere so much that we decided to skip the crowds at CT for a day and spend it swimming, exploring the quaint town with it's many shops, and visiting the church at the end of town with it's incredible views. There is a swimming area right outside the suit. The suite was extremely well thought out with everything we needed. We enjoyed evenings sitting on the small balcony overlooking the port while sipping wine. The included breakfast was incredible. We enjoyed dinners in the restaurant below. The staff was extremely friendly and a special thank you to Gianlva and Joanna. They were always happy to help along with everyone else. Awesome shower, comfy bed, great Wi-Fi, great closet space, very clean. We arrived by car and parked in the recommended hotel lot which was a short walk away. We never moved our car while we were there. Gianiva was so helpful in transporting our luggage. We highly recommend staying here and hope to one day visit again. Thank you to the wonderful staff.
