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.).

Verified reviewThe view from the Rifugio was stunning. The people working at the Rifugion were super friendly and helpful with extra rides to the car park.
Although the food was delicious, it was a bit expensive. The beach access is not easy, and there were jellyfish in the small bay. I would recommend driving to a beach a bit further away.
Good morning, first of all, thank you for staying with us and taking the time to leave us your suggestions. The food may seem expensive, but we'd like to point out that we choose high-quality local suppliers and that all food must be transported to our property, creating a lot of extra work compared to a traditional hotel. As for jellyfish, they can be found anywhere; it simply depends on the unpredictable sea currents. Kind regards.

Verified reviewWhat an amazing experience! The Rifugio di Mare is absolutely unique- a historic building completely immersed in nature, with a friendly and attentive staff. When we stayed there at the beginning of April we were the only guests, but all of the services were available and the staff are ready for the high season to start.
Dear Charles, thank you so much for appreciating the experience. The beginning of spring is truly a magical time and we are happy that you were able to experience a little bit of it here. We hope to see you again on a future occasion

Verified reviewLocation in the middle of the park, spectacular views, Giulietta the fox, the terrace, food quality
Weird vibes with the staff; couple were pros/great and welcoming, some were distant and some (unclear if really staff or not) were hanging around observing with no clear purpose barely saying hello. As the place is a huis clos, it felt a bit awkward at times.
Dear Serge, thank you very much for your nice review. We apologize if we were not all equally welcoming, probably it was just a bit of tiredness at the end of a long season :-)

Verified reviewAn incredible find. Would highly recommended!
The only thing to be mindful of is that you cannot drive to the hotel. There are shuttle buses, however as long as you give them 30 minutes notice they were very accommodating
Dear Katie, thank you for your nice review. Being in such a special place requires some spirit of adaptation, but we're doing our best to satisfy guest. Looking forward to meet you again!

Verified reviewLocation, sightseeings, all the staff - specially the night ones that served us for dinner everyday. They accommodated our request for a very early shuttle as we booked a boat tour far away so needed a shuttle for 6am. My husband asked for wine and flowers in the room as it was my birthday and everything was carefully arranged. Breakfast is simple but tasty, dinners too. The little fox that comes by everyday is the cutest visitor ever. We had such a great time in there and we highly recommend this place.
Dear Julia, thank you so much for your kind review. It was a pleasure to host such a nice couple and we're looking forward to meet you again. Greetings from Giulietta The Fox & all the crew!

Verified reviewThe views are breathtaking, walking through the park and immersing yourself in everything it has to offer is a rare treat, whilst the shuttle provides a fun alternative. For those wanting a more considered pace, paired back accommodation that intentionally reflects and complements its surroundings, then this is for you. The staff are truly the most welcoming, friendly and accommodating, I felt at home as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the park. The food was varied and delicious, and the selection of drinks are definitely worth sampling too. There’s a real energy in the restaurant during the evening hours as the sun is setting, making the whole dining experience even more special. It’s very evident that a lot of love has gone in to this place, and that everyone working here is passionate about this project and the service they provide. Renting an e-bike as means to explore the area was great fun and I was able to discover the historic town, beaches and sites with ease. Thank you, I hope to return!!
Dear Emma, thank you for your kind words. It was a real pleasure having you here and we feel privileged to have hosted such a pleasant person, who from the first moment perfectly integrated into our little world apart.

Verified reviewThe location was absolutely amazing. A wonderful way to disconnect from the outside world.
Due to the materials used to build the refuge many years ago, the AC must be going 24/7 in order to be confortable in the room.
Dear Annalisa, thank you so much for your nice review, we're happy you could disconnect at the Rifugio ❤️ It's true that the building is ancient and in the summer period is necessary to use the AC, we would like to host you in spring or fall when temperatures are just perfect. Looking forward to meeting you again!
