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 reviewWe had a very great pleasure staying here, it was super clean, had everything that you need for a vacation, and was super close to everything in citta vecchia. There are free drinks, coffee and snack in the lobby, and even umbrellas for our use. Piero always replied fast when we had questions. It was super easy to get into the building as well, and we had a nice, cool air conditioner. The breakfast at the local bar was good, we had cappuchino and croissant for every breakfast, the proportion was enough.
The spiral stair was a bit narrow, at first, but it was not a problem for us.

Verified reviewFirst of all the owner of this accommodation named Piero is so kind, caring man. He helped us with our luggage. It was so kind from him that on the 1st floor there are so many candies, cookies, croissants and coffee machine. The room is so clean, cute with a nice balcon. This accommodation is in the old city center so you can go by foot everywhere. So I really recommend it😍
Maybe only neighbor who called so loud in the morning 😅
THANKS FOR CHOOSING US. SEE YOU SOON.

The bathroom is small, but for me it was ok. The pillows were too hard for me. I also recommend putting some soft pillows.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect, situated within the charming old town, ensuring that everything is conveniently close by.
The toilet and shower are quite small. It's difficult to sit comfortably on the toilet, especially for someone with a larger build. Additionally, it's challenging to bend down to clean your lower body without hitting the walls due to the limited space.
His assessment does not correspond to reality. The structures of the historic center are characteristic for their medium-sized square footage. The 2.5 cleanliness rating is inappropriate and never received by any other guest, and perhaps he is not 100% happy with the order and cleanliness.

Verified reviewThe location was central to all the attractions of the old town, and also only about a 3 minute walk to the bus stops to get to the beaches. The reception area was nice and had complimentary drinks & snacks.
The shower area in our room was TINY. The water pressure was great though. Also we had one large hold-all bag between us and due to a very tight and steep spiral staircase to access our room, we had to leave it downstairs in the communal reception area.

Verified review1. Location: appartments are located in the authentic but very good renovated building just in the heart of Old Town! 2. Very clean premises, fresh after renovations, everything is new inside (big variety of clean new towels), great water preassure, coffe (very good freshly brewed coffe), tee, cookies in the lobby available all the time. We stayed for 5 days, the linen was changed and cleaning of the room done on the 3rd day. 3. Good communication with the host, very clear instructuctions regarding appartments, keys, available services. The host could not offer us the possibilities to keep the luggage before the check in (which is at 14:30) but made his best to prepare the rooms earlier (12:30) 4. Breakfast is served from 7 till 11 in the nice bar just around the corner to the right after you go out of the town arch. For the breakfast you will get a big fresh warm croissant with a cup of tee or coffee (no other variants of breakfasts are offered at this bar).
1. Everything is very tiny and small, stairs are tiny and narrow, watch your head when climbing to the 2nd floor))no place even to sit (neither in the room nor in the lobby). In the lobby there was one chair for an adult and 2 tiny things for kids or hobbits )), veeery small table, which was not fixed to the bottomleg, so you will not spend much time in the lobby )) Absolutely no place for any closes storage, no shelves at all, you closes have to stay at the luggage bags 2. No knife, folk, spoon, bottle screwer, no place even to drink vine or wash and eat fruits which you can buy in big abundance in Italy 3. Absolutely no toiletries except for the soap (no shampoo, showergel, sponges, etc) 4. IMPORTANT: no possibility to leave luggage which causes a lot of inconveniences as the check out is at 10:00
We are sorry to read futile criticisms after having granted much more than what belongs to a b & b. All courtesies requested can be met with extra payment which the guest refuses to fulfill. with regard B&B Il Castello
