Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomBeautiful converted Liberty villa. I stayed in the gorgeous corner room with two balconies, which was truly a memorable experience. Glorious breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, lovely garden and pool. A great base for seafood restaurants (Ittiturismo Chiosco di Ponente for example) and early boat trips from Santa Maria Navarrese out to see the beaches around Gulf of Orosei.

NetherlandsNothing. Everything was perfect
A former stately mansion in the center of Arbatax has been transformed into Hotel Raphael. The hotel is family run by Julia, Pier Paulo and Oxana. Those three are wonderful people who do their utmost to please their guests. The hotel itself is modern and designed with taste and care. The rooftop terrace is a wonderful place to relax and to enjoy the views. Our room was spacious as well as the bathroom. Julia is a joyful person who with her pleasant enthusiasm gives you in the morning the good vibes for the new day while preparing eggs in any style at your wishes. We had a wonderful time and find the hotel absolutely recommendable.

United StatesNo fault of the hotel's but I wish I had been in a hotel that had a view of the sea. This property is spectacular and it just seems a shame that it doesn't also have views. The front courtyard, where the pool and a ping pong table are located, could also use some landscaping. The area looks somewhat wild and doesn't reflect the style of the rest of the property.
The hotel is an exceptionally renovated building with a style and attention to detail that you would expect from a 5-star hotel. The staff is also exceptional, taking great care of both the guests and facilities with what feel and look like genuine love. The breakfasts were incredibly delicious--a huge spread of sweet and savory foods (including made-to-order items) and excellent coffees.

AustraliaWe had two rooms between the 4 of us. One of the rooms was very geared towards couples, with lack of privacy around the bathroom area. Might be ok for some but it was a little tricky for our group.
Great location, close to good restaurants, clean, new, good amenities. Breakfast was great!! The team really tried their hardest to make sure we were happy with our meals, especially Julia with her delicious cheese boards!

Everything as expected. A beautiful room with a view. Loved the sound of the church bells. A lovely way to be welcomed to the day.... but not too early! Amazing breakfast and lovely staff. Arbatax is a port town, so not pretty. But has a good selection of really, good, well priced restaurants within walking distance. Lots of beaches close. And central for touring the area. Helios boat trip, recommended by the hotel, was very special. The most beautiful scenery and delicious food. Would definitely recommend

United KingdomArbatax is a little rundown but has its charm and there are some splendid other places to visit in the area. Would have preferred the parking to be private rather than on the pavement outside.
The staff were exceptionally cheerful and efficient and we particularly liked the roof terraces both for breakfast and an aperitif.
