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.).

JordanCan't accept to come early morning like 9 a.m., just to drop your bags and check in. The location is far about 20 min from the city centre. The host was only speaking italy.
I was on a vacation with my wife and looking for a double room, The room size: small, enough for 2 people, The bed was comfortable, and there were 2 additional single beds. Location: The hotel is conveniently situated within 300 meters of the metro station because of that we booked so next day our trip early morning. I can recommend this room for 1 or 2 nights, u can save good money compared to others.

GermanyThe only dislike was that when we arrived, tired and wanting to take a shower after a long trip, the light and fan of the room were being fixed and we had to wait there until it was done. Also, the owner or cleaning lady almost opened the door of our room at 9am while we were sleeping, just because she needed to grab the tv control. She was really nice and apologized, but this was very uncomfortable
The room was very big and comfortable with a private bathroom, and air conditioner and they changed our towers every day.

CanadaVery hard to communicate with the owner. I told them at what time i will be there but no one answered the door for 30min. You need to call them and you're lucky if she answers. When we left, my son forgot his backpack in the room and Lia doesn't want to send it to us saying she doesn't want any responsability. Isn't this your job kind of. A LOT OF RESPONSABILITY. Not a good human, you should not book with her as I heard other stories like that. There are other rooms in La Spezia. Ooooo, and BOOKING doesn't answer my messages. Skip booking.com if you can
Close to train station, clean, and big enough for 3 people.

SpainIt would have been nice to have more than two pillows in the bed, as well as offer guests more hangers for the clothes. We were unaware that we would listen to all the noise coming from the station (that was our fault however, since it would be obvious that we would listen to the trains arriving whilst we were in the room). Beware! The surrounding area is not very fancy either.
The bathroom was pretty big, it had enough storage space for our things. They also changed our towels every day which was nice as well. It is also great how close the apartment is from the Train Station (which we used quite a lot). We also appreciated the security of the whole building. Overall it is a good apartment if you aim to be outside all the time.

GermanyOne can hear the neighbors as the rooms have thin walls. Also due to no reception service; they do not have breakfast but we found a cute cafeteria near the station (C‘est Bon) and loved the place for our daily cappuccino and breakfast.
The rooms are located near central station. In total the property had 3 rooms with a common entry door and three separate rooms. We got the smallest room. But the staff was friendly and attentive. Make sure to call them before arrival as there is no reception service.

United StatesBathroom smelled mouldy. Detailed instructions on how to enter the facilities should have been sent at booking, not the day of arrival. We waited 20 minutes outside before a resident let us into the lobby. The phone number didn't work to call the facility.
10 minute walk from train station. Inexpensive.

BelgiumProperty owner has a weird policy that you can do check in only between 2pm and 6pm. After 6pm, you have to pay 20€. I complained and was ignored. We had to reschedule our itinerary because of that. When we arrived at the property, around 3pm, nobody was there for the check in. We called the number on booking reservation and the number was unavailable. Finally, I called the costumer service and a guy came with a scooter to open the door for us. Apartment is fine but I don’t recommend it if just stay in the area for a day.
Nice location by the station if you have an early train.

BrazilTerrible customer service, we were extorted and felt stolen by the owner and receptionist. They advice additional payment if arriving 6-8pm (which shouldnt be as it is normal time for a hotel). We arrived 6pm, receptionist arrived 20minutes later to open the door and so we did not agree to pay additional. They extort you saying that “no payment, no keys” (considering that I’ve had already paid all in advance, so no choice for me. Really bad service, no cleaning, AC just working on air recirculation (again cheating on you).
