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):
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 StatesWe loved our stay at this B&B. Everything from the location, to the room and service. What made our stay even more fabulous is Giuseppe, who made sure we had a really great time in Abruzzo. He gave great recommendations for the restaurants and gelateria in town, same for our day trips to S. stefano and Rocca Calascio. I was a little nervous about parking at Sulmona and driving in Abruzzo but with Giuseppe’s help everything turned out smoothly. The location of this B&B was so awesome. I would recommend this B&B to everyone.

United StatesI can't say enough good things about Stella CasaBono. The location is beautiful in the historic center of Sulmona directly across from the Chiesa di San Francesco della Scarpa. Our suite had a bedroom and a living room. Both had large windows that opened onto balconies where we could see the church and view the beautiful street that the hotel is located on. Despite our very limited ability to speak Italian, our hosts communicated with ease, were extremely warm and friendly, and took incredible care of us. Breakfast in their cafe was outstanding, fresh, delicious, and they were able to easily accommodate a vegan in our party. The rooms are beautiful. The location is outstanding. The breakfast is incredible. The hosts are wonderful. We honestly hope we get to go back someday soon. Thank you Stella CasaBono!!

United StatesOur stay was wonderful - the rooms are comfortable, the breakfast excellent and the location great. But what really sets this B&B apart from all others we have been to is the warm welcome and helpfulness of the proprietors. From the moment we arrived in town and were escorted personally to the hotel from the parking lot, through the detailed directions we were given for touring the beautiful area, the personal touch and attention of the proprietors and the staff were extraordinary.

New ZealandWe liked everything.
The hosts, Roberto and Guiseppe, are wonderful. They are welcoming, kind and very knowledgeable about the Sulmona area as well as operating their hotel in a completely professional manner - they always put their guests first. The location is right in the historic centre of Sulmona, so close to all of the towns interesting sites, to plenty of cafe and restaurant options, and to the marvellous social activity of promenading. Our room was very well appointed with plenty of storage and a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was fresh and delicious and served by Roberto and Guiseppe. Roberto made the time to take us out on an expedition which we could not possibly have achieved without his help.

United StatesEverything was great, might say my only complaint is that the room lacked anywhere to put your stuff, a couple tiny tables, no luggage racks, no shelves, no hooks…only a small shelf in the closet but mostly occupied by a refrigerator. We had to put everything in the floor…not a problem on a one night stay, but hard to get comfortable when staying 5 nights and having to pick up everything off the floor every day for the housekeeper. Again, that would be the only negative, and would definitely stay there again.
We really enjoyed our stay, very centrally located, great staff were super friendly and helpful, accommodations were well maintained. It was really great.

United StatesThere are a lot of stairs- fine for me, but a little tough for my parents. Although, Roberto put my parents in a room will suited to their mobility issues. There are stand up showers. Again, fine for most guests but difficult for me with a baby. I used the shower in my parents’ room, which was bigger.
This is a family run hotel in the heart of Sulmona- a great launch pad for activities in the National Park. The proprietors were amazing. They helped us make dinner reservations, bike tours, & find parking. The breakfast is diverse & tasty. The rooms are very comfortable & clean.

PolandA Truly Exceptional Stay – Highly Recommended! My stay at this hotel was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the remarkable hospitality of the owners. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and made to feel like a valued guest. The owners went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was perfect, always ready to assist with a genuine smile. The room I stayed in was both elegant and spacious, providing a comfortable and luxurious atmosphere. The attention to detail in the room's design was evident, and it was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The decor exuded sophistication, making it a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring. One of the highlights of my stay was the private terrace. It was an absolute delight to have such a cozy and comfortable outdoor space. I spent several peaceful mornings and evenings there, enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful surroundings. The breakfast served at the hotel was excellent. There was a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to choose from, and everything was beautifully presented. It was clear that great care was taken in preparing each dish, making breakfast a delightful start to the day. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The combination of outstanding hospitality, elegant accommodations, and excellent amenities made for an unforgettable stay. I will definitely be returning!

United KingdomGenuinely nothing but - as clearly advertise and like most historic properties in Italy, the property has no lift.
The room was comfortable, spacious and well appointed, and importantly cool despite the high temperatures outside. The en suite bathroom was equally spacious. Breakfast was lovely and the location really good. But the best thing was the attentiveness of the owners, Roberto and Giuseppe, who were both so helpful.

Stella CasaBono is the perfect place to stay in Sulmona. The location is ideal, on a quiet street yet, near all the area's attractions. The room we had was larger than expected with all the comforts of home. Roberto and Giuseppe were the BEST hosts, always willing to help at any time, day or night. We felt at home from the first moment we met Roberto as he greeted us outside and offered cappuccino before we even got our luggage in! Stella CasaBono is THE place to stay in Sulmona and if we go back, this is where we will stay.
