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 reviewAbsolutely beautifully decorated, very nice marine vibes, we purchased some of the artwork as a souvenir. Great location, many restaurants nearby, bus station within a stones throw. Great place for an evening stroll in the harbor. The host is very friendly and helpful, we communicated over whatsapp a lot. There was an espresso machine available in the room and caps daily refilled. After check-out the hostess let us leave the luggage safely. We enjoyed our stay very much
It would have been great to have an in-room fridge. Often there was a smell coming from the bathroom. Air conditioning is limited to certain hours. There are 3 flights of steep stairs to reach the apartment (especially challenging with a large luggage). There were construction works happening outside our window and in the floors below us, sometimes starting before 8 am.
Hi Greta, thank you for your kind review. Any advice is always welcome; it always helps me improve. However, I must say that your suggestions have nothing to do with my location; they are not the result of my actions. The refrigerator was not included in the room amenities when you booked, so you were already aware of this. The noises you mention are due to the renovation work they did outside my apartment. The air conditioning is centralized; it didn't always work because the outside temperatures were low, so the thermostat wouldn't turn it on. I don't know what to say about the unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom. The place is cleaned every day, no one has ever complained, and the room attendants and I have never noticed any bad odors. I wish you a safe journey home. Thank you. Silvia

Verified reviewGreat location.
The junior suite is incorrectly described. While it says 'private entrance', it's just a door leading upto a room, just like any other room, however with the added disadvantage of a bunch of stairs leading upto the bed. The bed in the junior suite is very small for two people. Additionally, the airconditioner was not adequate for the hot nights. On one day, it didn't work at all in one of the rooms because the vent had been shut and the host didn't bother to open it for the new guests. Even when working the junior suite was very hot since it is on the top of the building. Additionally, when we came in, one room did not have any towels provided. We had to ask for the towels and still just got hand towels. Only once we specifically asked for bath towels, were they provided. There were also no toiletries etc. provided. Considering the check-out is a sharp 10 am and the check-in is 4:30 pm, these things should be taken care of in the long time they have to set the room up. Regarding the check-in, while the booklet at the property says the check-in is at 14:00, on booking.com it states that it is at 16:30 for unknown reasons.
Dear guests, even if I think it is a waste of time to give an answer in the face of such unpleasant rudeness, I dedicate myself to clarifying things. The junior suite you chose was detailed in the description, why did you book it if it didn't suit you? It's true we forgot some towels, it can happen, you asked for them and we gave them to you immediately, we apologised. I don't even know what you're talking about the air conditioning vent, why do we have to leave it closed? My job is to provide a service, why should I do things against the interest of my guests. It's not true that there were no toiletries, soap for the shower was provided. The check-in and check-out times were indicated on the portal. Here too I don't understand what you want to point out, there are many rooms to be redone and we chose our window of time to redo them. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my experience of staying with you. Silvia

Verified reviewSilvia take excellent care of Le Stanze sul Mare and have put a lot of love into decorating the rooms and making her guests feel welcome. We loved our room with the view of the old harbor. The hotel have perfect location, the roomed were clean and the communication was great.

Verified reviewStunning location just in front of the seaside, the view from the window is just amazing. Our host has been very kind and helpful at anytime of the stay. The room is pretty and has a unique style.
The room was a little small for two persons and we could not turn on/off the air conditioning when we preferred.
Thank you Alessandra for your review. I'm sorry you found the room small, the size was well described during the booking process. Furthermore, in my welcome message, I informed you that "you have booked a junior suite, a small bedroom with a suggestive view of the sea". The air conditioning is centralized but it is not true that you could not turn it on and off, the vent was adjustable on / off. However, it was a pleasure for me to have you as my guests. Pay more attention to the choice of location in the future, it's a bit difficult to be satisfied if your personal needs are not compatible with the services offered. Thank you. Silvia

Verified reviewGreat views of the marina and close to all amenities. Easy parking a 10 min walk away.
Very strict check in times of 16:30-18:00 with a €20 penalty if you arrive after that. Towels and linens are only changed every 4 days and it costs €20/ time to get fresh towels more often than this. The cleaning staff kept moving our stuff around. The property was vey hot and quite noisy due to the bars and restaurants outside. No breakfast included, and no fridge or facilities to prepare your own. Limited breakfast options in local restaurants as well, so we went to the Coop which was about 1.6km away.
Dear Sheri, thank you for your review. Perhaps you have not been very attentive to the services offered by my location. The cleaning lady moved your things not out of rudeness but to be able to clean your room well. I don't have to change the linen, they are a gurst house not a 5 star hotel. But, as you pointed out, it was scheduled every 4 days, consider that you are on an island, water is a precious commodity. Check-in, clearly indicated as time when booking, is subject to payment after a certain time because there is no reception like in the hotel. The mini bar, breakfast and cooking equipment were not included in the services offered, you booked a room with bathroom. The supermarket, if you had asked me, I would have indicated the one 20 meters below the house and the noisy area is the historic center of a tourist town in the height of the summer season, people come to have fun. She is the one who chose my structure, not the other way around. Thank you for allowing me to share my experience hosting you. Silvia

Verified reviewThe view is beautiful, better than we expected ! The room is very clean. We appreciated the coffee machine on the room.
The air conditioning was too cold. We couldn’t say if we wanted a housekeeper to clean our room or not. And the sink was a bit clogged. Also, it can be noisy in the evening because of concerts but this comes with the location of the apartment and it stops at midnight.
Thanks Ines for your kind review. A warm greeting. Silvia
