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.).

New ZealandPerfect place in the best location in Scalea - walk out the door and you will find the beach, the entrance to the old town, and the main street (with shops and eateries). The entire B&B is spotless, the rooms modern and comfortable, our rooms had large balconies with lovely sea views. The breakfast was delicious. Everyone who works in the B&B is kind and attentive, Vittorio a stand out host who went above and beyond to make our stay just perfect! Thank you so much!

AustraliaWe felt so warmly welcomed by Vittorio at B&B Torre Talao. The location is perfect—just steps from the beach and the historic centre. Our room was clean, comfortable, and wonderfully quiet, and breakfast was absolutely delicious. Vittorio truly goes above and beyond to make sure every detail of your stay is exceptional. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

SwedenNothing to complain about. Just be aware that there is no elevator (but only one floor up and we got help with the luggage).
We could only stay in town for one night but was very pleased with our stay in this beautiful B&B with the warmest host, Vittorio. The room was large enough, modern (conveniently renovated and furnished), very fresh bathroom and a comfortable bed and pillows. There was a fridge in the room with water included. The communication with Vittorio beforehand was excellent and he accommodated our request to arrive late in the evening. Parking is included which is important in this busy town. Vittorio recommended a restaurant for dinner and called to reserve a last minute table (great restaurant who even gave us a discount since we lived with Vittorio). In the morning we choose an American breakfast which was lovely prepared by Vittorios wife.

It was pleasant to sit on the balcony and enjoy the great view of the sea. There was a choice of breakfast - American or Continental - and the food and service were great. Vittorio the owner was a gracious host, ensuring that our stay was enjoyable, including lending us beach towels and driving us in his own car to the station when we we checked out. We will definitely be back.

AustraliaEverything was excellent.
We have been in Italy for over a month now on this particular trip and Vittorio’s accommodation has been the best overall. He is such a lovely man and has the rooms extremely well appointed with everything that you need for a lovely stay by the beach. He had an option for breakfast of either sweet or savoury and both were lovely. We particularly liked the cupboard the smart Television the balcony area where you could have a glass of wine and a. Aperitivi. It had good Wi-Fi. His attention to detail combined with his great taste in room design and this even went right down to the beautifully scented air. There was great air conditioning too!

Unassuming from the outside..absolutely wonderful inside!! And Vittorio is the best owner you could ever meet!!! Very caring of your comfort and satisfaction. The location is perfect for easy access to the sea...if you are anywhere near Scalea, this is the place to stay! Then, the breakfast is the best we've had in any location in Italy.. Absolutely love this place, and I assure you we are not a relative, just a very happy family from California.
