How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewGreat location and fantastic interior of the apartment. Very responsive owner. Apartment very well equipped, clean towels, comfortable mattresses on both beds, A/C. Great view from the apartment on the cathedra (might be a bit too loud when you open the windows in the late evening but still OK for a short stay). I highly recommend the apartment for the couples as well as for the families.

Verified reviewSimply the absolute beauty of it. I could sit on the balcony or stare out the window at the beautiful San Lorenzo cathedral all day
A little loud outside at night because the piazza in front of the church is a popular place, but no problems with building itself

Verified reviewThe place feels like a palace, with balcony views like no other. Its a wonderful place to stay. Very grand and better than pictures. Everything is there what you could need for. Good for a short city stay and if you dont have a car.
Didn’t realise how noisy it would be. We stayed on a Saturday night, and a lot of people hang out in the plaza underneath, there was noise throughout the night till 5AM… Not something the property is able to affect. While there is closer parking available, all the car parks close by are not safe, and if you park in a secure car park, you will walk a while.

Verified reviewThe location was wonderful. Very close to the aquarium and the beautiful Piazza De Ferrari fountain. The apartment is secure and so very beautiful, and the elevator was a big help. The bathroom was modern and high-end. Washer was the perfect size. Beds comfy, plenty of armoire space. The kitchen area was quaint, roomy, and well stocked. The view out the bdrm windows face the beautiful San Lorenzo church. In between is a busy piazza that provides entertainment every night. Great jazz musicians one night, lovely string quartet the next. Very talented professionals. We had the best seats watching from our balcony. We didn't need it, but there was a high chair and a play pen provided for a bambino. The fridge was a good size, and so was the wine chiller. It was heavenly sleeping under beautiful frescos on the bedroom ceilings. Wish every place was this lovely.
The instructions to get into the place were not accurate. It took us about 2 hours to figure out bc when we called the phone number provided for help, we couldn't get thru. Once we figured it out... no problem. The drawers on the dresser were rough, and one bedroom door didn't close at all.

Verified reviewMagnificent apartment, beautifully furnished. Perfect location for exploring Genua on foot.
We would have liked more information in the apartment about what was available nearby, ie grocery shopping, restaurants etc.

Verified reviewBeautiful apartment in a very central location. Very comfy beds, spacious and super clean. Lots of excellent restaurants within minutes, some we loved included Les Rouges Cucina (fab cocktail bar with super nice staff), Cambi Cafe (via Garibaldi), Settepolpette (pear and chocolate pudding was sublime) and Osteria Le Colonne (rated No.1 on TripAdvisor) was so good. The ravioli was exceptional. Also great cafes for breakfast and a laundromat for drying clothes within 2 minutes.
Overall it was a lovely stay and we would recommend it. A couple of things that could be improved is the quality of the pillows and bed linen. It’s very central location in the Piazza was definitely a bonus but it should be noted that it is very lively day and night and if you are a light sleeper like I am earplugs are highly recommended. The noise didn’t bother my husband but I did struggle to get a good nights sleep.

Verified reviewPros: Location is excellent and apartment is clean and spacious. It was very popular with my Beds comfortable. Safe. Met on time at check in. Our 4 year thought is was a Disney princess castle equipped with all things from Beauty in the beast. To her it was magical.
Cons: We didn't know what to do with the bins - the owner didn't respond for two days after I'd sent multiple messages so the apartment had started to smell. Frequently no hot water. Only enough for one shower and there were four of us.

Verified reviewFrom the moment we opened the massive front door to the street we knew we were somewhere special, and we were! Wonderful stylish rooms and what a view! All the main attractions so close and right in the heart of the medieval city (close to metro too) The city is easily walkable, food excellent and getting (a bit lost) just part of the the fun. Elana our host was always super responsive to any questions - it was a great stay

Verified reviewThe location is right in the centre, in the palace and of course the view from the windows to the cathedral
This arrangement is worthy of good room design. Right now, there is an absolute mismatch between the gorgeous view and the shabby furnishings. This flat could be made into a beautiful facility. There is almost no water in the sink in the bathroom.
