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 KingdomBig push from the staff to go on trips / tours / linked restaurants. None of that is really necessary.
Very friendly and helpful staff at this boutique hotel close to the town. It only accommodates 24 people and feels special. Some rooms have large terraces and great views. Lovely pool and great breakfast outside near the pool. Wished we had stayed longer.

NorwayBeautiful and very well maintained hotel in a quiet place but still close to Lipari center. Five minute walk. Breakfast is served close to the pool from the pool bar. The breakfast was very good and they will make you a omelette, scrambled eggs or egg and bacon++ on request. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We really loved it and hope to come back again. The roms are beautiful with a large and very nice bathroom. The air conditioning works really well. We had a room downstairs which has a private sitting area outside.

AustraliaThe hotel is not in the main part of town (which is both good and bad). We didn’t mind the 10 minute walk into the main town. This is the only potential negative I can come up with.
Th staff were excellent. Special mention to Giusy who was a wealth of knowledge and took care of our bookings. Her English is excellent, providing us with information. Nothing was too difficult, even booking us a taxi to meet the ferry and take us to the train station hen we were leaving. I must also mention Fabrizio, who makes the best omelettes and scrambled eggs for breakfast. A very relaxing environment.

Good, comfortable hotel just outside the centre of Lipari. From the harbour you can walk there in 10 minutes. The hotel will pick you up at the harbour for 10 € if you wish. Clean double rooms with AC, bathroom and breakfast. I stayed in two different rooms: room no. 6 and room no. 2. Both rooms and bathrooms are quite similar. Although room no. 6 is a tiny bit bigger, I preferred room no. 2 on the ground floor. I found it a little quieter there and you also have a small terrace at the front. Good buffet breakfast outside by the pool. Less common in Sicily but this hotel also puts eggs and bacon on the breakfast menu. A special mention for the extremely friendly and deserving Sara (Sareta) who works at the reception and also helps prepare breakfast in the morning. She answers all your questions and arranges just about everything. To visit other islands from Lipari, you can shop around in the harbour where you arrive from Milazzo or Messina. However many excursions leave from the nearby, picturesque Marina Corte. Many restaurants between both harbours. Lipari itself is also a beautiful island.

United KingdomIt was a shame that the water wasn't complementary, given the heat and the fact that the nearest shop is a good few minutes down the hill. Other amenities (e.g glasses, bottle opener, kettle) were also lacking. The hotel is about a 12 minute walk from port, which we were aware of, but it's a hard 12 minutes in the Sicilian heat with bags!!
A friendly family-run hotel with a good pool. We had a nice room with a patio accessing the pool area. The breakfast was good, and eaten at the pool bar.

Loved the location, the space, facilities and how clean it was. Loved having pick-up and drop off transfers included from the port. The amazing views of the sea and poolside area was fabulous. Room was decorated beautifully and seemed to have been renovated recently as lovely modern touches. Staff were super friendly and accommodating.
