Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

SwedenVery good vacation house with a great view of the Eolian islands, Lipari and the nature. The hosts Osvaldo and Simona were very nice and helpful and gave great advice on points of interest on the islands. The room was a basic bedroom including a bathroom + a fridge to store some food & drink which was good to have, A basic breakfast was included in the price and the hosts were nice to offer it a little earlier for us on the day of checkout. Transport to/from the house and Lipari town goes via a very narrow and steep road where usage of some transportation is essentially always needed. The hosts offered this "Navetta" service for €5/per person (only the check in/out transport is for free which is good). The hosts also offered to rent scooter, car and booking excursions and more. We used some of these services, however upon later review I made of other options I might have selected differently in some cases - I recommend you also compare similar options in Lipari for price/value. Overall we were pleased with our stay.

FranceEverything was perfect.
I had an extraordinary experience with Osvaldo and Simona – they are incredibly kind, and their warm hospitality made this stay truly wonderful. The accommodation is stunning, with a breathtaking view that you never get tired of. It has all the amenities you need for a perfectly comfortable stay. The Wi-Fi and mobile network work very well, and combined with the delicious breakfast and Osvaldo and Simona’s kindness, you really feel at home! I truly felt like part of the family during my stay, which is something quite rare. I can’t wait to return and further explore the many treasures of this island, with Osvaldo by my side. You won’t find a better place to stay or a more heartfelt welcome on Lipari. A huge thank you to both of them for their love and generosity.

We loved everything about our stay at Casa tra Cielo e Mare. Right from the start, when Osvaldo came to pick us up from the port to the magnificent view from our balcony, you couldn't fault a thing.

I highly recommend having dinner there and enjoy some great Eolian food and enjoy the beautiful view. There are also some nice beaches around and other stuff to see. Osvaldo also has very useful recommendations. Thanks again for a beautiful stay!

SwitzerlandOsvaldo and Simona are lovely and took good care of us. Osvaldo picked us up when we arrived on the island so we didn‘t have to walk up the steep street with our luggage. The view from up there is beautiful and we could enjoy it from the hotpot! We can recommend the Lipari Island Tour with Osvaldo, he showed us all around the island and has a lot of interesting stories to tell! Thanks fot beeing such good hosts, we loved it in your home between sky and sea!

United KingdomWe stayed 3 nights at Osvaldo after visiting Salina. Il buongiorno si vede dal mattino we say in Italy. You judge the day by the way it started. In the case of Casa Cielo e Mare, it was totally the case! Before arriving to Lipari, Osvaldo texted us he would have come for us to pick us up with the car and get us to the place. Once up on the hill, we were welcomed by a literally stunning view, Rio de Janeiro style, overlooking both Marina Lunga and Marina Corta, the Castle, Monte Rosa and Monte Gallina… absolutely breathtaking! While looking after the administrative tasks (registering our IDs), he gave us a complete hands on guide on what to do on the island and which means of transportation to choose (mainly scooter or car), places that are worth a visit and several logistic tips… many! Food: continental breakfast with various options to choose from. Worth a mention the eggs Simona prepares… d-e-l-i-c-i-u-o-s. Accomodation: clean and simple. Highlights: to go back to the B&B up on the steep hill, most guests will prefer either to call Osvaldo, who will come for you for a symbolic price, or to rent a car. Do not attempt to the steep hill on a scooter if you are not an expert driver! Please, be serious about it, walk instead, it’ll be good for you especially if you are out of shape :) Tigro and Pierino, the two cats of the house, are the kings of the place. Enjoy your stay at Casa Cielo e Mare, you won’t regret it. Ciao Osvaldo e Simona! R. & G.

Italy...it requires either an downhill/uphill hike or a lift from the host (small extra charge each way). They are very accommodating with pick up and drop off, but something to consider.
Fantastic hosts, very friendly and informative on what to see and do around the island. Pick up and drop off are free, to and from the port at the beginning and end of the stay. The facilities offer a warm SPA/Jacuzzi pool, perfect to relax at the end of your day. The view was stunning, in a lovely location but...

Germanywe had the best time in Lipari! If you are in Lipari - stop searching for an Accommodation and book your stay at Casa tra Cielo e Mare! Everything was great and if we could, we would have stayed even longer. Osvaldo and Simona took care of everything we needed. from the organization of a rental scooter to the pick-up service from the port to the daily yogurt „naturale“ for breakfast - everything was just perfect :-) The view from the terrace is just stunning and the breakfast served everyday is so delicious - Home Made marmelades and fresh bread and sweets! The Apartments are equipped with everything you need and clean! Thanks Osvaldo and Simone for having us, it was a pleasure to meet you! we will come back for sure!

United KingdomViews like the one you can enjoy from "Casa tra cielo e mare" have a price: being the property up the hill, it's not easy to reach on foot, as the road is quite steep. You need your own transportation, but don't worry if you don't have one: Osvaldo and Simona will take you up and down at a moment's notice.
Osvaldo and Simona are exceptional hosts, ready to accommodate every need you may have (and over!), from suggesting restaurants and places to visit, to lending you their own snorkelling kit, to driving you to and from town every time you need for a small fee. The bed was comfortable, the room had everything we needed, and we enjoyed the nature and the silence in which the property is immersed. However, what really can't be beaten is the view: the property is up on the hills, with a breathtaking view of the port and of pretty much half the island. Once your day is over and you're back at "Casa tra cielo e mare", just sit down on the terrace and take in the view: you won't forget it!

LithuaniaWe booked bungalow with jacuzzi. However, bungalow was not really private: there is a storage room at the back and B&B worker needed to pass through our terrace to reach it. Jacuzzi is not on the bungalow territory, it is between main building where every guest can see you and garbage bins / home appliances area (the photo of jacuzzi done from our bungalow). The bubble function never worked, though we reported it the very first day. Hosts said they fixed it, but no. So, it was just a warm tub. Not worth the money.
The host Simona really went above and beyond as a host, thank you! Also, the view was awesome.
