Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

New ZealandNothing it was great.
We recently stayed at this beautiful B&B and had an exceptional experience. The medieval village is incredible and wonderfully quiet. The room was immaculate, spacious, and beautifully decorated, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast was a delightful start to each day, offering a wide variety of delicious and fresh options made on site Including home made jams and muffins, that catered to every taste. Additionally, the host Stefan was incredibly friendly, attentive, and went out of his way to ensure our stay was perfect - goi g above and beyond on many occasions. We highly recommend Alla Torre del Barbarossa and look forward to returning in the future!

We can’t say enough good things about our stay… The B&B itself is situated above the lake with fantastic views of the rolling hills. It’s a good walking distance from the train station and has free parking available near the accommodation, if needed. Our host, Stefano, communicated well with us prior to and during our visit. During our stay, he went up and above to ensure our stay was comfortable, and made us feel special, going as far as to prepare our breakfast 2 hours before their usual serving time to make sure we had ate before checking out. The room was clean, comfortable and had a real authentic Italian design/feel which made the stay all the better. The room was made up every morning, with fresh towels provided. We were served breakfast and coffee every morning which consisted of croissants, pastries and bread as standard, as well as being able to order eggs, assorted cold meats and cheese, if we wished. The B&B is attached to a family restaurant too which was some the best Italian food I’ve had. If you’re thinking of staying here, it’s an absolute no brainer. We’ll be back there soon!

GermanyMagnificent accomodation located on a hill above Mandello. The charming house is a bed and breakfast with apartments in the back and osteria in the front. Everything was clean and tidy. We had an enjoyable stay, quiet and peaceful. The hosts are very kind and welcoming. The food and especially their local produce is top notch. I would definitely recommend spending some time in this beautiful area.

What a fantastic place! A lovely family run b&b with restaurant below with exceptional food! Breakfast was plentiful, all fresh and locally gathered. Owners very friendly and helpful and went the extra mile to help us with late arrival by leaving keya out and accommodating us with a crib and high chair for our baby. Very comfortable beds and a great location for walkers with a lovely country walk into town and a waterfall hike in the vicinity!

Beautifully decorated in a rustic style in keeping with a traditional Italian home. The whole place felt like something out of a Italian novel! Our room and bathroom were spotless and comfortable. The restaurant was friendly and comfortable with a lovely outdoor terrace. Our breakfast was fresh and delicious. We stayed for dinner each evening we were there and the food was prepared and presented to such a high standard we could have been in a top class restaurant. The owners were so friendly and welcoming. We hope to return some day!
