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...).

JapanThere were ants everywhere. Maybe because my room was on the gound floor. I needed to store my snacks in a refrigerator. Finding ants swarming my thing was traumatic to be honest. Also I found a worm once. For me, who really don't like insects and usually not find ones in my apartment, the room was not quite comfortable in terms of that. Also, the bathroom didn't look clean and organized. The water flowed outside of the "bathroom" as there was nothing to stop it. (and there were ants as well) The furnitures looked old and were not quite clean, but okay since I wasn't at the hotel all the day. FYI, bed was good. I'd ask for another type of room (if any) in case there is a next time. Anyway, good experience and nice meeting good people there!
Great location in the sassi area. Such a great view from the hotel, so I didn't have to go far from the hotel to see the morning/night view of the sassi. Quite the experience of living in one of the "cave room" as well. (But the room was darker and more humid than I thought. It's all about the experience) The staffs were really nice and friendly even without English. They helped me carry my luggages when check in and out. Especially a driver, who provided a transfer to the hotel, showed me around the neighbourhood quickly and took some photos of me when I got there, and also took me to a nice focaccia place. Wish I could speak Italian.

United States of AmericaWe reserved two rooms, 510 and 512. 510 had a shower and soaker tub. It smelled nice, too. 512 only had a shower, and the room had a strong mildew smell. But, the rooms were nice (despite the odor in one room), clean linens, and spacious areas.
Scenery is simply INCREDIBLE!!! Staying in a cave was most memorable. The hotel staff recommended a pizzeria nearby that was also amazing. This was an experience I will never forget. Excellent, excellent, excellent.

ItalyDifficult to reach with heavy luggage, but if you search something to reach more comfortable by car you should not search for something in the middle of an historical place. I suggest light luggage. Pictures are not very accurate since rooms are all different. Just be open and enjoy!
Great position within the historic center. Great view and authentic neighbourhood. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
