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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United StatesRustic would be the description for the room we received which was not as described via the ad on bookings, which described an extra bed (only one). Of the kitchen appliance we besides refrigerator the one thing we would want is a coffee pot, but not not supplied and first morning when got to breakfast they were already out of coffee…even though we got there at starting time.
Beautiful property and location. Away from the noise of the town. Employees were friendly but there was some failure to communicate as we are not fluent in Italian.

United StatesIf there was any downside it would be the steep walk back up to the property from Monterosso. I am 75 and managed it ok but it was a bit of a workout
The outside area was really beautiful and relaxing. The staff was excellent and very friendly and accommodating.

United StatesWe stayed in the studio cottage above the restaurant and the wifi was non-existent up there. We had to sit down by the office to connect to wifi. We did not realize September and October are fly season! They are relentless all day but disappear between sunset and sunrise, so eating dinner on the terrace is not a problem. The 5 minute walk down a steep path into town and back is doable but a taxi is needed when arriving to bring luggage up from the station. We needed a couple of things fixed in the cottage and staff were quick to try and resolve them.
Good opportunity to see a working wine/olive/fruit estate. Very pretty setting

United KingdomThe only thing was the bathroom was small and tired and could do with updating.
On arrival by car, after following Meri's clear pre-sent instructions, we parked in an allocated space just off a road above the property and straight away were picked up with our luggage and taken down to Buranco. Our accommodation was located a very short stroll from the main building, on the ground floor, with outside seating area. Lovely and clean, with a comfy bed, well equipped kitchenette, table and chairs, wardrobe and air-con. We were aware the Wi-Fi did not reach the rooms, however it was perfectly fine in the outer communal/eating areas, so no problem whatsoever. Breakfast is buffet style; a fabulous variety of fresh fruit, sweet and savoury items (including different freshly cooked egg dishes on both days) set up in the indoor/outdoor area. We opted to eat dinner on the terrace both nights. Although quite pricey, it was 100% well worth it - excellent food and service, with a fabulous view over the vines, olive and lemon groves, beehives and garden. I know it is quite a steep, but short walk down, but it's hard to believe just how close you are to Monterosso itself! Everyone were informative when we asked about their own produce etc...we purchased their oil and limoncello. Overall, a wonderful family-run agriturismo, with friendly, helpful staff.

United StatesThe walk up the hill from town was steep, but it wasn’t that much of a problem for us. The interiors were basic, but it was fine for us.
The property is gorgeous and a nice reprieve from all of the tourists in the center of town. It was only a 5 minute walk from town. It was the perfect location for our family. The staff was super friendly and brought us from the car park with our luggage directly to our door.

CanadaThe room is basic and a bit dated, but clean. If you are looking for more luxury, this is not it. But if you just need a clean room, then it's not an issue.
Location is beautiful. It is a very long hike up hill so you must be fit to stay there. Having said that, the surrounding os gorgeous among the lemon and olive trees.

United StatesThe mattress was extremely firm. The walk from town to the property was steep, but short, so a minor issue for us. Not for those with mobility issues, though.
The property was gorgeous, the staff were friendly, the room was clean, and the air conditioner worked well. The breakfast was very good too, especially the homemade pastry, which was different each day. We also ate dinner here one night, and it was one of the best meals we had in Italy, even better than one of the Michelin starred restaurants. Plus, there is an adorable oversized puppy. Keep in mind that this is an agriturismo, a working farm, not a modern urban hotel. It was everything we expected and more but may not be for everyone. We wished we had stayed longer in this little corner of paradise.

United Statesthe air & fans in the rooms did not work . we opened the windows ,which was fine for the beautiful May weather, except there was no way to secure the shutters. the shutters banged against the building off and on all night and the wind kept slamming the doors shut so there was no cross breeze . it woke us up several times but can be easily repaired. Mattresses might need replacing soon.
we loved just about everything! the view, our warm welcome, the assistance arranging transportation from the train, helpful suggestions from our wonderful hostess, delicious breakfast, and a fabulous dinner which were all amazing. We felt like we had walked into a movie lol. the walk to the town, train ,and beach was about 5 minutes if we hadn’t been so distracted by all the shoppes, food , and the beauty of the walk. We hope to visit again and have already recommended it to several people.
