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 reviewThe building is ideally located in the heart of Tropea but a block away from the noise and bustle of the main street. The property is in an old building that has been artfully restored, with some attractive exposed stone blended in with contemporary walls and stairways. The room I stayed in was on the top floor - it had windows on three sides of the room, which made it incredibly light and airy. I just left the windows open the entire stay and had a nice view of the sea. The room was next to the breakfast common room and access to the terrace, but surprisingly there was not much noise noticeable from the room. The terrace has a wonderful sea view as well and is quite large - I think a small restaurant could have seating up there to be the first rooftop restaurant in old Tropea... it works in Amalfi! The room itself was spacious, as was the bathroom. The staff was very helpful and responsive! Overall, a very pleasant stay.
The bathroom in the room I had came with a jacuzzi tub. It was an old and tired-looking unit that has seen better days, and the showering in this tub was slightly precarious if standing up. If it was my property I think I'd get rid of this old unit and put in a normal shower or shower/tub - the bathroom is luxuriously large and a very nice modern shower could be installed and make the experience much better.

Verified reviewThe room looked better in person than in the photos! We just needed an affordable place to spend a night, and got a cosy room with a cute balcony with a partial sea view. The check-in was easy, and the location is super central.

Verified reviewThe Tower has a lot to offer, location is great, view from the roof is spectacular. Rooms are big, night and clean. I didn't have a great experience but many people have so probably just a once off.
Hotel advertised breakfast but none was provided. Staff spent more time making excuses than it would have taken to grab a couple bread rolls and switch on the coffee machine. Foam bed mattresses are not good for some people. Airport transfer was advertised but not provided. Spa bath was nice but smelly when turned on.

Verified reviewFantastic location right in the middle of the town with heaps of great restaurants around, short walk to the beach. There is a great terrace on the roof, great place to sit and have a drink at the end of the day. Pasquale was very attentive, the breakfast was basic but nice, everything you need to start the day.
Lots of stairs to get the bags up (no elevator)

Verified reviewThe location was excellent, and the room was spacious and comfortable.
The hygiene standards were very poor. We had a room with a jacuzzi, but it was extremely dirty (see attached photo). The floor hadn’t been vacuumed—even after the cleaning staff visited, it remained dusty. Breakfast was disappointing: on the first morning, the host offered croissants, but on subsequent days, the host was absent and the food wasn’t restocked. If you arrived a bit later, most of the breakfast items were already gone. Additionally, the curtains were thin and let in a lot of light, causing us to wake up very early.

Verified reviewThis place is a true gem. The hotel room (there are only 7 apartments) was very clean and large, with a cute balcony above a narrow lane with the sea visible at the end. There is also a roof terrace, offering lovely sunset views. The breakfast room is small and clean and you have a buffet breakfast with plenty of choices. Located in the heart of old Tropea, The Tower offers you the perfect base for a visit. This is not a giant place, therefore everywhere is within a short walk (no cars in this part of town). To reach the beach you have to go down the mains steps at the centre of the seafront, and these are not too far away, neither is the port, from where you can visit places like Stromboli and Panacea. Tropea is packed with restaurants, bars and shops and is super lively after sundown but in a good way, not too noisy. The old town, with its narrow lanes is atmospheric and interesting, and the view of the town from the beach is stunning.
No complaints whatsoever.

Verified reviewIt is advertised with private parking nearby. We were four motorcycles. When we arrived at the Tower, we were told that we should not have entered as it is a pedestrian area. We are now expecting to receive a traffic infringement fine. The private parking is 2.3 km away. I was contacted by phone to indicate my time of arrival. They should have informed me to go directly to the parking area, (free shuttle service available). It would have made our stay much happier.
