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.).

The house is beautifully furnished but the best thing for me was the kindness of the host Franco. A beautiful man.

ItalyThere is not much I can say negative about the location. Booking demands a longer comment, but I cannot really point at any specific fault during my stay. Therefore, I hope this comment is taken positively by the system.
Check-in was quick and uneventful. Our host offered me a complimentary cup of coffee. This is a true B&B and it has been elegantly furnished with wooden pieces coming from Gabon or Mali, which were collected by the landlord's father during his stay in Africa as a medical doctor. The quality of the rooms is quite high for a B&B and I was particularly pleased by their cleanliness as well as the sturdiness of the bathroom and the shower. It is pretty clear the owners have opted to spend more at the beginning to save less in the long run and the positive effects of such strategy do indeed show. Basically, although some features of the house are definitely rural, I have never had the impression of laying my hand upon something "cheap" or "cheaply built". Finally, the building where the B&B is located dates back 17th century and has an inner court where one can chill.

MaltaThe breakfast was very good. We even got to try the host's father's homemade apricot tart! The host, Luca, was great - he drove us to the bus station, and we sincerely hope to meet him again. Luca was always available for advice, travel tips or just a chat in the yard!

United KingdomNothing. I loved it and I will definitely be coming back.
I stayed for 4 night in L'Aquila for a research event at the Gran Sasso Science Institute. The property is absolutely beautiful. My room was spacious and had an interesting interior design. The whole house is in fact very unique and located in the heart of the town - in the historical centre. The breakfast included a very good selection of Italian food. The owner and the entire staff are the nicest, warmest people you could possibly meet. I could not recommend more.

ItalyIt is a pleasure to be a guest of Luca and Franco. The atmosphere is always magic as the service and the care that they reserve to you. The room (if possible) is even cleaner than the previous time. The addition of the topper on the mattress make the sleep even more confy. The breakfast is always very varied with artisanal and local products. The position is amazing for enjoying the city of L'Aquila and its suburbs.

United StatesThe room did not have air conditioning. Not that we needed it, but it is listed as an amenity in booking.com. Just a heads-up for those who like cozy temperature: L'Aquila's elevation is 2,350', the B&B's heating system is centralized and, with the current energy crisis, Italian laws allow for limited heating time and temperature setting, which means that your room may feel on the chilly side.
The location is difficult to beat. The environment is a little homey, but your hosts are are very welcoming, extremely available and helpful. The room was very nice and comfortable.

Almost everything. The managers were super nice and friendly, and the place had good access to everything. The house was clean and well-maintained. The architecture of the place was great, the garden offered a good sitting spot. Towels and toiletries were well provided.

Luca , our host, was a lovely helpful and very kind person. The room and bathroom were very clean and the little garden very nice. The location was excellent in the historic center near the Piazza Duomo where restaurants are located. We had a very nice stay at this B& B: I recommend this place to everyone :)

Just middle of the wonderful L'Aquila! You can reach Duomo Plazza within minute where you can find a tons of restaurants, cafes and gelaterias. Small but beautiful garden full of flowers, you will not believe you are in the city center.

ItalyI was there for a conference and I was leaving pretty early to catch the bus. It was not possible to prepare that early the breakfast for me at that time. Luca (the host) was genuinely concerned about this. He was taking a lot of efforts to fix my breakfast at different bars. Of course, I could not manage to take the advantage as I was always in a hurry, for one reason or another. On the final day he managed to prepare breakfast for me. I was extremely sad, that I woke up late and did not manage to have it as my conference bus was about to leave. I had to rush. Nevertheless,, I was really touched by his hospitality and his phonecall to ask about my journey. In terms of cleanliness the stay was marvelous. I recommend. .
