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.).

United StatesI booked this accommodate for a travel companion who had a heart attack. He needed a place to rest and recuperate after leaving the hospital in Cefalù. It worked out perfectly for him as they provided a room on the main floor (424). He had everything he needed and was close to the hospital should he need to return.

United StatesThe access to swimming in the ocean from this hotel is unique and wonderful. My room (Limone) was simple but clean and comfortable with a private walkout entrance. Breakfast and dinner on the veranda with view of the sea were especially lovely.

United StatesOur last night at dinner resulted in extremely poor service, which was unusual since each night we left a tip on top of the coperto. First, while the other diners already started eating, the dinner for one guest was mistakenly not immediately served. Second, after saying that we would have desert, a server never returned to our table. The maitre d' eventually came over and stated, "Well something went wrong." Great observation; that was fairly obvious.
Everything went well. The view, the beach, the room were all excellent. Bravo to the front desk staff who went out of their way to meet every request and answer every question. The three women in our group loved the pool. In fact, only one went to the beach.

AustraliaThe hotel was so good it stopped us from exploring Cefalu, we preferred to stay in the grounds the entire tome. We felt like we needed at least 1 week and did not want to leave after 3 days
The view from our room was beautiful, we saw the sun rise every morning. The property had a private beach which was so dreamy, alot of steps down but so worth it, plus helps with the cardio! The breakfast was on the terrace was a treat every morning, with traditional Italian breads etc . The property also had a huge pool, which we would use in the afternoon, our 5 year old loved the giant chess board as well as the ping pong table ! This hotel was surprisingly great for a family although we hardly saw any other children.

United StatesNot much to complain about..... if anything, one of the girls at the front desk was not overly friendly like our other experiences in Sicily. And lack of soaps/shampoos- easy fix.
We had a beautiful room with balcony overlooking the sea- spectacular views. Perfect way to end our time in Sicily. We had lunch and dinner on the patio which was also spectacular!

FranceGreat place! There is a magnificent view from the hotel restaurant on the sea. The hotel beach was great, possible to swim by the rocks and enjoy the sun on the sun lounge chairs and sofas in different terraces overlooking the sea. There is a nice offer of activities: massages, yoga class in high season, tennis. They organised a tennis class for me with the instructor and it was great.

Saudi ArabiaLooks a bit dated. The staff is not super friendly. Seems like it’s a place that is used to accommodating large bus groups. Breakfast was hectic too with everything placed in different corners of the hall.
Access to a a private beach downstairs was neat. The pool is also a nice addition. Not too far from the city. It’s an easy 20-30 min walk.
