Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

PhilippinesDull color of curtains and bedsheets, bed that is just joined into two to make it bigger but separates many times, vinegar smell of the clean towels, only bath wash available, scent of the bath wash, neighbors who forget to close the door to the elevator hence no one can use the elevator, short talks with host (felt distant), sound from outside door can be heard inside room, and locks need a lot of experience to get used too.
High ceilings, electric sockets on each side of the bed with bed side lamps and drawers, cleaned everyday, new toilet paper everyday, new towels everyday, good size for the room, view of the outside, breakfast at Mozart cafe, location near the Vatican, free common use of kettle and other things, dramatic door, bidet, cute apartment ran like a bed and breakfast with breakfast literally outside the streets in another cafe, and lots of stores nearby.

United StatesThere could have been a little more counter space in the bathroom. If you are going to give me shower gel, please give me a wash cloth, cause otherwise I waste alot of shower gel. The bed was harder than we are use to, but we sleep on 2 inches of memory foam for achy joints
Check in was very accommodating; the elevator worked since it was on the 4th floor. The room was very quiet as long as the windows were closed.

AzerbaijanThis was a very nice place. It was a quiet, clean hotel in the heart of the city, just a step away from the metro. Most of the sights of the city could be reached on foot. We mostly walked everywhere. I can recommend it to everyone. If I come to Rome again, I will stay there.

ItalyTake the breakfast card with you, or you are left without breakfast! I didnt like the roof. Also I didnt know I had to take with me the breakfast card to take the breakfast, leaving me without food because I had a photo of the card and not the card physically. I was very surprised that the girl justified just because of it, not giving me breakfast. She didn't even bother asking the owner, just simply told me you cannot get the breakfast. This quite literally ruined my whole experience. But overall as a room was very good. Would have probably rated higher if it wasn't for the breakfast card.
I liked the guy who showed me the place, very clear and fast. He didn't waste any time to show me. The bathroom was clean, towels also ready. Bed was very good.

MaltaThere were extensive planned works being done in an apartment on the floor below. The workmen caused absolutely no dirt in the common areas at all, and when encountered were always polite. However there was inevitably quite a bit of noise after 8.30am.We usually left soon after so didn't affect us much, but as works were planned ahead we should have been informed at, or after, our booking since works were planned not emergency.
The location was fantastic and the apartment was very comfortable.

United StatesThe check in. There were no directions previously given as to where to go or what to do. I unfortunately did not have service when I got here, so had trouble contacting the owner. I used someone else's phone to try contacting them, but nothing worked. I called booking, who also tried contacting them, and also couldn't. I got lucky on one of my attempts to call and the call went through and she answered. She finally let me know the number of the unit to go to. Luckily someone was coming out of the building when we got there, so we were able to go through all of this confusion inside instead of right on the street. Also.....the queen bed in the room with a queen and single was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever slept on. You could feel the springs digging into you. The rest of the beds were fine, but I didn't sleep much there, because that bed was absolutely horrible. It hurt. I would suggest getting a mattress pad or something to make it at least decent.
The owner was helpful. Absolutely loved the location. It was easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go.
