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.).

United StatesL’Ancora is located in the historical part of the city. That means cars are not allowed to drive to the hotel. There is metered street parking and a public parking garage which is not included.
Everything! Silvano is the owner and your contact at L’Ancora. Once you arrive call Silvano. He meets you at the parking garage, shows you where to park and takes you and your luggage to L’Ancora with his electric luggage trolley. It is a short few minute walk to L’Ancora from the public parking garage.

United StatesThere was nothing that we didn't absolutely love! This place is perfect. Truly.
This place is heaven on earth - truly. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the lovely and charming Silvano, we felt right at home (although we were still in disbelief that this type of beauty existed!). The location was PERFECT - just steps away from town, the sea, Byron's Grotto, and some of the best restaurants we've ever been to in our entire lives (bonus points - Silvano helped us book reservations with the best spots as he grew up in this town!). The beds were extremely comfortable, the sea-view was unbelievable, the breakfast was DELICIOUS, and Silvano was a perfect, gracious host. We cannot wait to come back and bring our family, friends, and everyone we know someday soon! Grazie mille, Silvano!

IrelandSuch a wonderful stay, we were looked after so well by our incredible host! He was so kind and offered to help in every way possible. Would recommend the sea view room - so lovely to wake up to! Breakfast is brought to your bedroom door each morning which was very appreciated. Location is also excellent - right in the centre of things. We visited the beach about 8/10 minute walk away.

The room was spacious and had everything I needed for my stay, bathroom was neat and the amenities in there was perfect. Everything was clean and the bed was so comfy. Silvano's kindness and hospitality made me feel very much at home and I was so sad to leave. Perfect for solo or couple travelling! The breakfast was a highlight!

United StatesSilvano was a very warm and welcoming host. He greeted us upon arrival, served breakfast to our room each morning and gave us some great tips for the area during our stay. The room and bathroom were nicely updated and spotless. We swam in the bay and the grotto (highly recommend!) and used the ferry to and from La Spezia and to visit the other towns in Cinque Terre.

The suite was beautifully decorated in a modern understated style. My window overlooked the sea from several stories above the beach. The breakfast was lovely with fresh fruits, yogurt, Nutella and warm croissant. The owner was so helpful in answering my questions and making suggestions for restaurants. He helped me to take my luggage to the port. His staff even did a load of wash for me as I had already been sailing in Sardinia and needed some clean clothes for my next stop in Parma.

United StatesWas a bit pricey for only a single room in my opinion but we decided to splurge a bit and really enjoyed our stay! Would also prefer to have some more protein options for breakfast but still loved the breakfast that was provided!
Where to start?! The room was super clean, beds were SO comfortable we didn't want to wake up! The view from the room is stunning and having breakfast delivered at the time we asked was a special experience! The host was one of the best we've ever had!! He brought us some nuts and Prosecco when we checked in, had the room cleaned while we were out the second day, and was super friendly. We loved it here!

Everything you would want in an apartment, roomy, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The apartment is in the Old Town with an excellent view of the sea - only a stones throw away. A delicious breakfast is delivered to your room each morning by one of the best hosts I I have had the pleasure to meet.
