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'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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The only thing I didn't like was the roof was excessively perfumed with some kind of air freshener, it was over powering and unnecessary.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast good, location excellent for ease to main routes through Italy. Easy parking.

I would say due to the age of the building there was no soundproofing whatsoever - we could hear everyone coming and going in the restaurant room for breakfast as well as some very loud neighbours which did ruin the experience
Property was a great price and the included breakfast was a bonus. Hotel is dated, but it is very clean. While it is not a central location, the bus stop is directly outside, so very easy to get into town. Staff were friendly and we got a room upgrade :)

The bathroom shower was a curtain around a shower head and there was no place to put toiletries in the shower. The room was VERY dark. I had to turn on the tv to get light into the room. There is a mini-market across the street but not much else. A takeout pizza, a restaurant next door but couldn’t get a table and not centrally located enough to downtown.
The staff were very helpful.

There is a direct bus to city enter next to the hotel (1.5€), free parking. It was quite and room was clean, breakfast was OK.

The location is really not great. Bus wasn’t coming often so we ended up having to take taxis each time to go into the city centre (approx €15 each way). The bed was extremely uncomfortable and almost slanted. The room was clearly old and needed some love and TLC, and a bit of fixing here and there. It was also smelled so strongly and unpleasantly of air freshener / febreeze as we arrived. Breakfast was acceptable but only til 9.30 which is still quite early when you are on holidays.
This was affordable compared to the crazy prices we were seeing in locations closer to the city centre. Room was spacious and they were accommodating with a free cot for our baby. Lift was great especially when with a baby and lots of bags.
