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.).

AustraliaAbsolutely nothing! it was beyond perfect!
This place was hands down the best hotel to stay in Tropea! The property itself was stunning, and the staff went above and beyond—so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The hotel’s location was perfect, right in the heart of Tropea, and everything was within walking distance. The breakfast area, located on a gorgeous top-floor balcony, was an absolute highlight. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or a more enjoyable stay. Special thanks to Emilio for welcoming us, for being incredible helpful and friendly and making us feel so at home, and to Lina, who prepared the delicious cakes for breakfast. She was not only warm and welcoming but also kindly drove my daughter and me to the train station with our luggage. We’ll definitely be back next year. The beds were comfy, and the apartment was spotless. I highly recommend this place—it was truly amazing!

PolandThis place truly deserves the highest rating! Above all, I want to highlight the incredible kindness and hospitality of the hosts – from the very first moment, we felt genuinely welcome. The hosts were always ready to help, even assisting us in getting to the train station, for which we are extremely grateful. The rooms are of a very high standard – clean, comfortable, and modern. Every day we could count on fresh towels and beach umbrellas, which made our beach days so much easier and more enjoyable. The location is just perfect – there’s a grocery store right nearby, and it’s only a short walk to the old town, restaurants, and the beautiful beach. Everything you need is within easy reach, which made our stay even more relaxing. Thank you so much for everything – for your warmth, hospitality, and the wonderful, family-like atmosphere. If you’re looking for not just a comfortable stay, but also a place with a true heart in the center of Tropea, we highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back!

MaltaThere is nothing to fault and we’d love to return to Donna Giovann’s. The only drawback is the stairs for anyone with mobility impairment.
The hosts Emilio and Mrs Bruno are exceptional, very polite and helpful. They went out of their way to welcome us and make us feel at home . The young employee is also very nice and sweet. The location of the hotel is extremely central, very close to the restaurants, shops, the main stairs that lead to beach and the viewing gallery to see the sunset and Stromboli. The room is like a small apartment. The decor is impeccable. Everything is new, well kept with a beach feel. The rooms were spic and span with everything necessary. Breakfast was ample and served on the well decorated roof terrace. The hotel even provided beach towels and umbrellas. For dinner they recommended some lovely restaurants for traditional Tropean meals. The hotel made the necessary arrangements for parking and both times accompanied us to the parking place.

PolandThis place is a true gem in the heart of Tropea – just like Tropea itself is the pearl of Calabria. The accommodation is run by incredibly kind-hearted people who put all their love and dedication into what they do. From the very beginning, you can feel a warm, family-like atmosphere that makes you feel at home rather than just a tourist. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with great attention to detail. It’s a perfect spot to relax – peaceful, charming, and full of warmth. I highly recommend it to anyone looking not just for a comfortable stay, but for a place with soul and heart. We’ll definitely be coming back!
