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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

RussiaVery charismatic and beautiful place with amazingly helpful staff. The room was very cozy and clean, the view to the city and the port is nice. They cleaned the room every day. The breakfast is common for Italy, they had lots of sweets but not so much savory options. But the pastries were amazing and the breakfast overall was enjoyable.

Great, quiet location tucked away from the Main Street but very easy to walk to the seafront and restaurants. Our room was fantastic and very comfortable - the shower was amazing! Exceptional team of staff who couldn’t do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The roof terrace and breakfast were highlights! Would definitely recommend :)

The hotel is in a perfect position tucked away up a quiet street but only a 5 minute walk to the port. There is a small supermarket and pharmacy nearby. The hotel staff are so very helpful and informative. Nothing was too much trouble. Our bedroom had a small balcony overlooking the bay and the Tuscan hillside and we were on Level 4 which is where the rooftop terrace is available to use. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very well appointed. Good shower. The Jacuzzi and sun terrace are amazing. You need to book a slot at reception as only a limited number of people can use at any one time which is understandable. We stayed here 5 nights. Breakfast was excellent every day with plenty of choice and the option to sit outside in the garden.

United KingdomThe hotel itself is set back from the main street so you have to turn off and walk up a slight hill to it and at night it was very quiet and dark-ish walking up there which as a woman on my own, wasn't my favourite, although I am sure it is totally safe! The decor of the hotel I found pretty dated, it could do with a refresh, although I didn't mind some of it in my room as it was quite traditional Italian, but the more common spaces looked very dated. The hairdryer in my room wasn't great and provided not much heat or power and the shower cubicle was extremely small. There was also no air conditioning. Having said all this though, if you want a great basic hotel with amazing staff is it perfect for you. I still had a very comfortable stay and I would definitely stay there again!
I booked this hotel at the last minute when I decided to extend my holiday by two nights, and I chose it as it was the best value for money, however I was perfectly happy with it. I was really just using it as a base, so I didn't use the facilities much/at all. My room was great, a really nice size, traditionally decorated (slightly dated) and super clean, good size bathroom and the room came with a safe and a fridge which was useful. It was also very quiet and felt very safe, which is important for a solo traveler. The bed and pillows were very comfy, I slept really well there. The staff at the hotel were really friendly and welcoming and they went out of their way to help me on my check-out when I had to get to the train station for 5am and they personally drove me as I had left it too late to book a taxi, which I really appreciated! Very kind of them.

IrelandNo cons - only thing to note is that we had to reserve the pool area in advance. No doubt this is for everyone’s enjoyment and fairness, and may have just been for peak season.
Dreamy property, perfect clean rooms and bathrooms, great value, ideal location and the most helpful, attentive staff. Couldn’t have been better. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit the area.
