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.).

SloveniaThe breakfast only lasts for one hour and a half (8.00 until 9.30),which was quite early for us. Hotel has its own beach, but it wasn't clean at all (tons of grass, you couldn't really lay there). Wish they would make it a bit more kept. . You also have to pay additional for AC in the room.
The room was like in the picture, it was very clean - they clean it every day. The reception girls were nice, they gave as all the directions we needed to plan the day. Hotel has a pool and it's own little beach - but we didn't end up using it. We also had breakfast in the hotel - it's was basic Italian breakfast - croissants, little cakes etc. We stayed for dinner only once - the food was nice, but you have only two options for meals. The staff was nice and friendly.

DenmarkAircondition, pool towels, bath hats and fridge should just be included in the price instead of making them as add ons - I’d prefer the prices being increased slightly instead and then those basics included in the price

Excellent hotel, close to shop and cafe, very well conncected with Forio, Ischia Porto and Casamicciole. Bus stop is 20m from the hotel, so you can get everywhere you want. View from balcony - like a dream! I loved stairs to the beach, it was clean and safe. The staff is very helpful, especially reception staff, they are always ready to help you!

AustraliaSuch a great place to stay. Loved the stunning views from 'water view' rooms, direct stair access to a small beach shared with neighbouring establishments, thermal bath, pool area & sun loungers, breakfast & half board option and just the general feel of the place. Non pretentious and authentic. Perfect location - walk down to restaurants and other amenities.

United KingdomBreakfast was mediocre with the usual sliced cake, sliced meats and cheeses. A selection of fruit and yoghurt. Juices were not fresh, they were concentrate from a machine, which wasn't great. There is a nice terrace outside the breakfast room, where you could finish off by taking your coffee, but they would not allow any food to pass the door (Guarded). So, no coffee and cake on the terrace. Around the resort, there were so many A4 paper signs dotted around the walls, all with various rules to adhere to. I felt like I was back at school. Lastly, beware if the weather is warm, there is a 5 Euro per person per night charge to use the Air Conditioning in the room, you hire the controller from reception! If you want a mini fridge, it's 5 euros per room per night.
This took me back in time to a quaint oldie worldie type of hotel. The facilities were great with a plunge pool, indoor relaxation pool, hot tub and steps down to a small beach. Staff were helpful and it was a 10 minute walk to the famous Poseidon hot springs spa. They offered an inexpensive evening meal with a small choice between set dishes, but a large number of local restaurants nearby should you require a greater choice.

DenmarkBreakfast buffet could have more options of cheese and vegetables and better coffee machine, maybe also juice instead of soda with juice taste. But can’t say it’s a big minus because you can simply eat in near cafe and not obligated to pay for breakfast.
Amazing place for quiet vacation. Hotel is clean, territory very colour, rooms are clean and receptions were very nice and welcoming especially Valentina (I hope it’s right person because I’m bad at remembering names). Small beach just above hotel was great addition to everything. Great choice of hotel and great price. Also great views for sunsets. Thank you!

Austriasome hard mattresses, but when I reported it at the reception it was promptly replaced THX for that :) Possibly the time of dinner could be extended by half an hour.
Perfect stay at the Island of Ischia. A delightful rather smaller hotel, charming as a bit "out of time". Extremely friendly staff - reception, restaurant, cleaning service!!!! Room decor a bit older but everything super clean. Had room 510 with a small terrace right by the sea - a dream. Small beach, beautiful pool, all very well maintained. In any case, half board is recommended - excellent cuisine, very varied, fresh and down to earth - wonderful! Great praise to the chef!!! Perfect location, very quiet, bus stops right in front of the hotel, Giardini Terme Poseidon 10 min walking distance, to Forio nice 20 mins walk along the promenade. A car is not necessary as the public buses run regularly. THX for a very relaxing week at Riva del Sole - will be back for sure.
