Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

AustraliaWas very nice with a beautiful room - overall a great view. My biggest concern was finding it. The google maps took me all around town and not to the destination i needed to be, so i advice the owners change that on google maps for it to be easier to find. Otherwise, beautiful place to stay!

United KingdomMy arrival at The Sunrise was marred by a disappointing encounter with the gentleman behind the desk. I politely inquired about payment options through booking.com, as I didn't have cash on hand at that moment. However, he rudely accused me of accusing him of stealing. This unwarranted hostility soured my initial impression of the place. While I understand that they may only accept cash and I might have missed this information, I didn't deserve to be treated in such a manner for a simple question. The room also did not have Wi-Fi, which was a drawback for me.
The room's location was decent, which was one of the few positives during our two-night stay. However, I must admit that the setup was rather basic, and we found it to be just suitable for our short stay. The lack of amenities was quite noticeable, and we had to rely on the fans provided to keep cool. While it served its purpose, I can't say it left a lasting impression.

CanadaUnfortunately there were several things wrong with the room we stayed in.. The bathroom had drainage issues, causing a horrific smell to linger. There were mosquitoes everywhere, and left over remains of some previously killed by other guests. The mosquitoes were likely due to the bathroom window being left open prior to our stay, and the window (hole) above the kitchen sink. Additionally the AC unit would not work (the room was HOT), and the wifi would not connect. In order to have wifi access we had to go outside to the communal space.
Staff were friendly, specifically the gentlemen who walked us to our room. The ocean view was great, and the shared patio was lovely in the evening.

SwitzerlandThere was indeed no wi-fi in the room
We were lucky to get a room at the top of the tower, and it was great. The room was small but had everything we needed. It was super clean and had an AC. It felt authentic and gave us a true taste of Riomaggiore, plus the view was fantastic. Of course, there are many steps to climb to reach the room. But this is a small village, not a big city, and the room perfectly captures the charm and atmosphere of the area, in that case I didnt see any problem with walking up a bit more as usual.

United StatesNo early checkin was allowed but we already knew that from the website.
It was simple and cheap for the area we were in. Honestly it exceeded my expectations after reading all the bad reviews. It's not a fancy hotel but it's not advertised as such. It was simple and matched the description, nothing more and nothing less.

ItalyDirty and the owner seem very unfriendly. before checking in we received an extremely passive aggressive message from the owner regarding the check in times of the property. We didn’t even contact the property about this but they sent a message which stated how rude and disrespectful are the customers that check in past 6.30PM. I get it but there are nice ways to say it. There is no need to be so aggressive and rude.
The property is central. The guy that took us the the room was super nice and helpful.

ItalyThere was no Air conditioning in the room. Just a small fan. I mean, i paid more than 100 euros for one night and didn't even slept comfortably because it was so hot there. And the room was on 4 floor with the smallest staircase. You have to think before leaving the room just because you have to go down and then back up on so many stairs. You'll get tired only from that. I would say pay 10,20 more and stay on a good hotel.
I don't think I liked a single thing about "The Sunrise". I expected more. Stayed at another hotel the previous night and that was much better and a little cheaper than this one.

NorwayThey should get a railing for the stairs, just for safety. Our fan didn’t work, but it wasn’t to warm during evenings and nights now, in June, so we didn’t mind. All in all a good experience:)
Great, central location, close to the train station and the Main Street of Riomaggiore. The room was clean and had almost all the amenities we needed for our stay, like: comfortable bed, clean towels, working shower and toilet and a small fridge. We loved the authentic Italian vibe of our room with great views over the city. We didn’t mind the many steps up to the room, but if your in bad shape you should probably not stay here. The hosts were lovely people and kept the reception open an extra hour for us to collect the keys, because our train was delayed. Keep in mind that Riomaggiore is an old town, so if you’re expecting modern hotel vibes you might as well skip Cinque Terre all together and go somewhere else.
