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 KingdomThe reception area is a little underwhelming and smells of food from the kitchen. The food wasn’t as good as elsewhere, so we didn’t bother with it after the first day. Don’t be put off by the childish decor - this hotel has bags of charm and everything else is really excellent.
The location is incredible- set on a cliff overlooking the sea. Our room was also looking out over the sea and I’d highly recommend the suites for this reason. It’s only a short walk into town, but the tranquility of the location makes up for the distance. We were able to hire excellent quality mountain bikes from the extremely knowledgable guy who’s workshop was attached to the hotel. Fab cocktails from our lovely barman (sorry can’t remember his name) and a professional pool table in the bar kept us entertained. Add in a huge pool, brand new sup boards, yoga available 3 times a day and we left feeling like we’d more than worked off all the amazing food we ate in cefalu.

AustraliaUnfortunately the hotel itself is a bit dated. The rooms are full of dated furniture. Lunch was one of the worst meals we have eaten in Italy, not to mention the prices were ridiculous for lunch, it cost us $54 euro. A lot of additional charges for facilities/activities within the hotel. It’s such a shame because this hotel could be so good!
The views from the property are beautiful and breakfast is great. Only a 15 to 20 minute walk to the city centre.

GermanySome room furniture can be a bit old style, but it depends on the rooms as they are all different. depending on where you are in the hotel, you can hear the doors clapping in the morning… if you have a light sleep it could wake you up.
The location on a cliff is great and the terrasse is really nice! most of the staff is nice and helpful. We asked to change rooms during the stay and the staff was accommodating.

United StatesThere was NOTHING that was not amazing.
Hotel Kalura is absolutely beautiful! Be prepared to do steps if you are staying with an Oceanview room. Our room was literally carved into the side of the cliff and just steps from the ocean/beach below. The bathroom was a nice size and the bed was very comfortable.

AustraliaThe dinner restaurant food was ordinary. Fine for families but. head to town for a quality romantic meal. Michelin Star place took us in without a reservation. Breakfast on the terrace was very good and the ambience unbeatable.
the location was stunning. We had a large balcony in front of our room which wasn’t entirely private and if someone lit up a cigarette (which happens far too often in Sicily), we scurried inside. The view was breathtaking.
