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...).

NetherlandsBathroom may be a little small for some people; check-in time need to be discussed with the owner, there is nobody at the reception by default. I think it would be nice to add a key safe.
Authentic house, clean and comfortable . Roof terrace available for the guests. Location is perfect and the neighborhood is very pleasant. We didn't use any public transport during our 4 day stay. Owner and staff is very friendly and helpful.

ItalyAll good.
What a gem: an historic building with roof terrace and views of the Saint Peter basilica in the centre of Rome! The room was large and absolutely beautiful. Despite being on a mildly busy road, the soundproofing was so good that we could not hear the traffic at all. The bed was very comfortable, the room size quite generous and the common area with coffee machine, small kitchen and fridge super nice. Everything was spotless clean.

RussiaI was traveling with my mother and we loved everything about this place: location, facilities etc. Our bed was comfortable and bathroom was clean. Maybe just a bit small but perfect for a couple of people. We had a feeling that we were alone in the guesthouse - the other guests were so quiet and polite! The view from a terrace was amazing. Giuliano was a great host, he welcomed us and gave some recommendations as a local:) Next time I’m in Rome, I know a place to stay;) Thank you!

Perfectly decorated, pristine guest house within sight of St. Peters. We could see the lights of the St. Peters cupola from our bedroom window. The rooftop terrace is spectacular. Sound[proofing was amazing, despite a couple other rooms in this great find. Modern bathroom, wonderful antiques in the room and tasteful prints.

United States of AmericaIf I have any negative comment, it is that we were very much dependent on the Internet and for the first day we were not able to find the correct password we feel that it should always be posted in the room. Other than that, we felt that everything was excellent.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike!
Absolutely loved it here! The location is perfect. Right next to Vatican City and within walking distance of the rest of the centre. It’s quiet, clean and feels very modern with its amenities whilst retaining the beauty of a lovely Italian guesthouse. The three members of staff that we met during our stay were all lovely and super helpful with recommendations, taxi bookings, and keeping the accommodation clean.

United States of AmericaOur host was very willing to give suggestions on local restaurants, but it would have been nice just to have a list of nearby restaurants that we could have used. Not having a concierge on site was something that we are not used to but everything turned out fine.
The location of this hotel is great. It is close to many local restaurants and attractions. It's about a 10 minute walk to the Vatican. The taxi stand is nearby. The room is comfortable and decent size for two people. I like that they gave us free water and cookies when we arrived and fresh flowers on the table were a nice touch. The towels were nice and fluffy. We were able to check in a couple of hours early which we really really appreciated. Also having a washing machine in the kitchen was unexpected but very nice. I'm also very glad that they had an elevator. I recommend this property. I would stay here again.

GeorgiaI recently had the pleasure of staying at Guesthouse Serafino during my trip to Rome, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish! The charming guesthouse, with its ideal location near Vatican City. The host, Giuliano was very nice and helpful. Rooms were beautiful, comfortable and clean. Espresso machine was a lovely touch of the morning. It added a genuine Italian flair to our mornings. Stay at Guesthouse Serafino was an absolute pleasure, I'm already looking forward to my next visit and staying at Guesthouse Serafino once again!

United KingdomSo convenient for the main sites. Walking distance to St Peter’s & the Vatican. Ten minutes walk to the Metro and 10/15 min journey to other sites. Very clean, comfortable, not cluttered, showers fantastic…loved the fact that we could easily make a sandwich or keep things cool in the fridge. The view from the rooftop is amazing!

Croatia-
Beautiful room and location. Prati is such a lovely area where local people still live. Everything was clean. We didn’t hear any noise from outside or from other rooms. Check in and check out were great - they waited for us on check in when we were late even though I didn’t respond to their message since I forgot my phone at home and our flight was delayed. I am so grateful for that. Also, we loved the elevator - it is such a rare thing! We were amazed. Can not find any fault with this place. My 4th time in Rome, stayed in lovely places but this one is my favorite. Thank you.
