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...).

United KingdomThe rooms are dated and unfortunately due to the location there was a lot of mosquitos. The breakfast was also limited and service for the coffee was slow but this was due to only being 1 lady serving the breakfast.
The owner was incredibly attentive and was friendly and helpful. The lunch at the restaurant was very good and the pool is nice to spend the day. We had a small baby & the owner made sure we had two sun loungers under the shade. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe pool wasn't filled as it was March (they open it in May!) But they had told us this beforehand. Otherwise everything was great.
The hotel consists of 8 large guest rooms with terraces overlooking the lush green garden and glimpses of the views beyond. The staff were really helpful, allowing us extra time for our breakfast, fixing the hairdryer when it broke and giving us excellent suggestions for our days' outings. The location is tranquil and calm. Breakfast was modest but adequate with fresh fruit, home baked cakes, fruit juice (bottled not fresh), yoghurt, a couple of cereals, tea or coffee. Would highly recommend.

GermanyOur rooms (14 and 15) were somewhat dark which however did not bother us too much since we spent more time outside the room, e.g. by the pool or with exploring the surroundings.
A beautifull building in green, park-like surroundings. A perfect hideaway near rome with everything you need to relax. clean, air-condtioned rooms in country house style, friendly and attentive staff, nice atmosphere, great pool area and good food at a reasonable price. Perfect location to visit Rom, its beaches (Fregene, San Severa) and further pittoresc places such as Calcata. We also enjoyed the nice breakfast buffet and the possibility to request other things such as cheese, ham, scrambled eggs etc.

United States of AmericaWhile this is a beautiful property, this place isn’t necessarily set up for tourists, which is both good and bad I guess. Note if staying here make sure you have a rental car. Our rental car got canceled last minute so we had to take a cab and found ourselves basically stranded once we arrived. We arrived on a Sunday only to find out their restaurant is closed on Sunday’s. Since cabs are non existent in the area of the BnB we had to walk 3 miles to go get water and food and after traveling all day. This is definitely a local hot spot and the two days we were there parties were happening each day which left us feeling a bit awkward as we were the only out of towners as well as the only people who didn’t speak Italian.
Beautiful pool and great food with friendly staff.
