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 are 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 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.).

United StatesIt was very small, next to McDonald. It doesn't look like a hotel but a store. The room is very tiny and bed not long enough for my 6 feet tall boy.
It claimed to be very close to the airport, which was why we chose it. So far away from downtown, and we sat on a bus for a long time and walk quite a distance after the bus. Really not convenient if you come from downtown.

SwitzerlandIt's right in front of the pier, which is one of the few areas where you can actually see the sea. There are a bunch of nice restaurants and shops nearby. The staff at the reception and breakfast area were all very pleasant to talk to. Good choices at breakfast. It's a little far from the train station but it's a few bus stops from Ostia Antica.

IsraelThe only thing that I didn't like was the very strong air freshener that they use in the rooms. The smell was overpowering for an asthmatic like me. Otherwise, we didn't have other problems.
Hotel La Scalla's location is perfect. One gets to enjoy the beautiful sunset as the sea is a few steps away from the hotel. The reception desk is managed by a professional staff. They do not have a parking lot but one can find parking somehow along the street. We went in late November though which means that there were fewer tourists thus we managed to find parking. It could well be a different story in peak summer months.

LatviaSpent two nights, perfect location for a great price. Very responsive staff, 24/7 desk, check in/check out quickly, without a hitch. Daily cleaning, very clean, snow white and soft towels, nice bath accessories. Upon entering the room, there was a welcome bottle of water, a small snack, the room has a mini fridge, TV, heater, hair dryer. Sand beach - across the street, many cafes, shops, restaurants around. There is a city bus to the airport, once a hour (1.50 eur), the station is a 15-minute walk away. Definitely recommend!

DenmarkIn general all hotels and hostels are a bit worn down. In Italy ( alike in other countries in the south). But that counts for all forms of "rooms". Well maybe not 5 stars hotels. I have no idea. The price level in Rome is higher.
A good breakfast. Close or next to the beach Safety Professional staff. A place that l will Maybe visit again.

United StatesNice motel near the airport, Ostia ruins, and train station. Beds are comfy and food choices around the neighborhood are good. I used this as a motel to decompress after a long international flight that arrived around midnight. 50 Euro cab from FCO and the Ostia train will take you into Rome when you're ready to continue your travels.

BelgiumIt is obviously not a 5 star hotel, we got exactly what we expected. A few days before our arrival the "tassa di soggiorno" in Rome and Ostia was increased (from 4 to 6 euro per person, which in our opinion is outrageous, but not the hotel's fault), we did not know about it (we received an email from Booking after having already paid it, I guess the hotel updated the info after realizing it with us).
The hotel is exactly what you expect from a seaside hotel with basic service. The person who welcomed us at reception was extremely nice and gave us restaurant information which we followed and really appreciated. The location is good, in front of the beach and above all in front of one of the few access points to the beach. We booked here to be close to Fiumicino (15 minutes by taxi), the morning at the beach was an added bonus. If you need a taxi, order it in advance at reception, as there are not so many available in Ostia (we got lucky!). The breakfast was a nice surprise, despite it being in a small room it had quite a lot of choice.

Czech RepublicThe hotel offers an airport shuttle, but you have to book well in advance and it doesn't run early mornings. Therefore, no breakfast if one has an early flight.
Staff were very good and helpful. Property was right on the promenade and within walking distance of many restaurants. The room was small but clean. It was easy to get to from the airport by public transportation.
