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.).

AustraliaThe stairs to the aprtment are a bit hard to navigate especially with a heavy suitcase. I also didnt find the stairs light or work out how thye inside light to stairs worked until the day i left.
This place was Magical. The view from your apartment is spectacular. You can hear the boats rocking in the water at night time. You look out the window over the water and you feel like you are heaven. The aprtment is just gorgeous!! So cute and location is amazing.

The destination and accommodation was exactly as shown on line, this turned out better then expected, and was a great present for my partner for Christmas. We loved it. We both loved sitting in the window looking over the harbor first thing in the morning.

United KingdomShower is a bit small - anyone really tall or a bit larger than average might struggle. There aren't really any grocery stores in Portofino itself, so you have to go to one in Santa Margherita.
The location and view from the apartment are superb. You are right in the heart of everything, but can escape the crowds and just sit and watch the world go by should you wish to. The apartment is very clean and well equipped - it's possible to cook very simple meals in the compact kitchenette.

AustraliaThe treacherous staircase - steep, narrow with broken steps at the bottom. Very unsuitable for solo, older traveller with heavy luggage. It should be clearly stated there is no lift and staircase is very steep. No light switch - at least none I could find - going up - pitch dark at nighttime- had to use the torch on my phone. The storeroom for the restaurant downstairs is adjacent to the apartment and staff smoke while using it or in the bottom of the stairwell so could smell smoke while inside. The kitchen is really, really tiny. The fridge is the tiniest bar fridge and sits under a tiny bench so to put things in or out you are literally kneeling on the floor crawling under the bench.Plus all the door shelving was missing so very, very limited space for fresh food. Apart from a couple of steak knives there were no sharp knives for cutting bread or vegetables.
The location overlooking the harbour was really lovely particularly the all-day sound of water lapping.

AustraliaThe kitchen is too small. The fridge is tucked away under a bench that you can only reach if you crawl on your hands and knees. There was no adapter plug for the appliances, so we needed someone to come with one, so we could cook our dinner. The bus is efficient, but getting large bags down via many stairs and cobbles was a pain. Lots of stairs up to the apartment. The passage is dark, as the light does not come on unless you turn it on in the apartment to go down.
Beautiful view from our room, over looking the harbour. It was easy to catch the local bus to other places or you could choose to walk to the nearest town. The walk is lovely and is flat. Plenty of beaches to stop at along the way and is a great way to save money, as these towns are far cheaper. Walk out to the Faro Lighthouse bar in Portofino for a drink and great views.
