Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room with Sea View
- • Stayed 1 night
The main drawback is that the property is cramped with limited outdoor space and its beachfront is tiny. Moreover, most rooms have no view of interest, many of the rooms are even in another building across the street and some of the amenities are reserved for the suite guests only. We stay one night before catching a flight, I am glad we did plan for a longer stay.
The general area is nice, close to the beach, close enough but not too close to the town, and not far from Olbia's airport. It is also quiet and has a very nice beach restaurant.

The surrounding are is not so crowded. There are some restaurants in walking distance, but no gelateria or other locations to have a night out.
We received an upgrade on request. The staff were very friendly (reception, beach, breakfast). Private beach with a nice view to the mountains. The room had a good size (superior room) and was pretty equipped. The hotel was clean as well as the beach.

Rude staff who speak over you and don’t let you explain your point. Our flight was cancelled by easyJet, this was explained to the team on the morning of the cancellation in a written message, I received a response stating an voucher would be issued for the stay until October 8th 2022. They have now rejected these claims even with screenshots of the conversation, truly shocking as they’ve taken £1500 of my money with no refund, voucher to use as first promised.
Sadly nothing as after being offered a voucher from someone in the team, they’ve just changed their tune and now said they will not honour it.

check in staff weren’t very informative about options for areas to explore over the island. only info was about restaurants. We picked the hotel because we had access to the beach, but the beach was small plus we had to pay for beds which we were not informed before booking.
cleanliness, staff were kind and helpful.

- • Couple
- • Junior Suite
- • Stayed 7 nights
The hotel location is remote, Pittilongu is a residential backwater, a taxi to for an evening out in Olbia, costs 30 euro each way Our junior suite did not have a private balcony, for a view of the sea you had to stand and the rooms dedicated outdoor seating and sun-beds were located on a corridor leading to an adjoining room. No form of shade from the afternoon sun was provided We have grandchildren and would enjoy hearing them make screaming and shouting when enjoying the the sea and the beach. We booked this hotel for the peace and quiet we thought the Adult Only theme and private beach would provide. The private beach is a roped off section of the very, very busy public beach which at times sounded like a bedlam The hotel concierge service when asked to book a day trip in a shared coach persisted in trying to sell an exclusive day tour (by his friend) at 1,000.00 euro, we did not feel that this was an hotel service but a tourist trap.
Very little

- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
The whole "resort" is trying to be upmarket when really it isn't and charging accordingly so food and drink expensive for hotel quality. It's soulless. The restaurant (where really you need to go the full 3 Italian courses to get a total of 1 full plate of food at 20-30 Euros per course) is in a tired conservatory where everyone sits shoulder to shoulder like a canteen. The pool area is just a bit odd being wedged between the rooms across the road and away from the beach. While the area around the hotel is pleasant and the beaches are nice, it's nearly impossible to eat a typical Italian meal at a normal price unless you head into Olbia (also a bit uninspiring!).
Staff welcome was good.
