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 reviewHotel was brilliant, staff go out of their way to help despite language barriers, they would use translate apps to speak and get to a solution. Breakfast buffet was great Location is very remote however, 45 mins via taxi (€120 for a return) to other cities with tourist areas such as Gallipoli

Verified reviewA gem of a discovery in Torre Lapillo. Literally on the beach. Beautiful terrace to enjoy beach view anytime of day or night. Breakfast quiet good. The staff Lucia and Daniella were amazing, 2 wonderful ladies couldn't have asked for a better staff. Beach chair and sun umbrella for rent directly with hotel at reasonable prices. Paid parking was very convenient and just up the street.
Nothing, all was good!

Verified reviewLocation is right on the sandy beach . Water is nice and in the area you can find many places to eat well , grocery stores , cafe-bars . Staff is friendly and willing to help , and although is doesn't speak English , we managed to communicate.
Room is a bit overpriced for what is offering . Parking on the street is a big challenge , remote pay parking is offered by the host at 10 Euro per day

It wasn’t like we expected

Verified reviewLocation was great
I was not given the room I paid for, it was much smaller than the description on the booking. It said king suite with sea view and can sleep 6 people. There was no window leave alone Sea view. If I paid for a room with no view, I would not have an objection. But when you pay for something and you get much less than expected is very disappointing.

Very noisy area. Also, the sea view is a window, next to an outdoor area with plexiglass.

Verified reviewIt was on the beach.
The picture for the king rooms show that you have an outdoor area open to the glass portion when in fact they have place a barricade, to set up a little area but it is not private as it is shared with others accessing their rooms and breakfast dinning. There was a staff member in this area on the phone and I felt that I saw was being watched for the afternoon. After making the booking I sent a message which I still have not received a reply a day later. When I arrived I was advised there was no booking and I had not sent any messages to which I could prove differently. One staff member was, brilliant the other made me feel uncomfortable.
