How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

We enjoyed our stay a lot. The location was just perfect, a stone’s throw from the most stunning beach in Calabria. The pool area is really clean and convenient and the view is simply breathtaking. Couldn’t have imagined better staff as well :) Highly recommended!

We loved our stay! The toilet could do with an upgrade in the apartment that we stayed in and a bedside light either side of the double bed rather than just the one, would be much better.
Lovely apartment (with a sea view), nice balcony. Maria Theresa was a great host. Great facilities, nice pool, close to a beautiful beach if you don’t mind the steps up and down. Pousada’s bar and cafe were also very good and we loved the pizzas. I am so glad we stayed in Parghelia and Pousada, there were plenty of restaurants nearby, a couple of mini markets and a train station and which was one train stop from Tropea.

The kitchen would deserve a bit more equipment (but the italian coffee kettle is there, don't worry).
Nice location, very friendly host, easy to get to even by train from Lamezia airport. Rooms are rather basic but clean and comfortable, overall (including air conditioning). We appreciated a garden with pergola and there is a swimming pool available to the guests, which is great. Very nice public beach with clean sea is close but below a cliff so you need to take a walk down the 200 stairs - but it's doable even with kids. The village is small and calm but offers everything you need, bakery, cafe, grocery, pharmacy. If you are not too demanding, you will be happy.

It was expected that there would be no shower gel or shampoo in the apartment, but I would have liked to have at least some hand soap.
Great location, right next to beautiful Spiaggia Michelino, spacious apartments, ample free parking, very welcoming, helpful and attentive staff.

When we arrived the bed had a towelling bottom sheet and a coverlet on top. I realised that the floor was dirty, when I walked from the bedroom to the bathroom and my bare feet felt dirty. They were covered in grime. I took a photo. The garden had not been tended for a long time. The bar and pool facilities as well as the "garden",across the road bore NO relationship to the photos whatsoever. The bar was like a shack and again the garden was unkempt. The bed was made up by the manager and the cleaner was blamed for not making it up, by the manager. The bathroom was dirty.
You needed a car. The garden setting was OK, but the mosquitoes could enter everywhere except the bedroom, which had the only flyscreen. The covered parking across the road was good. We loved the photos, but they were very old and did NOT depict the apartment as it is in 2024.
