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 appartment located in a quiet and at the same time safe place. Near to Vatican (5-10 minutes walk). Bus station nearby. We loved the stay! We definitely recommend to others!!

United KingdomWe arrived as guests and felt we left as friends - Alessandra (the owner) has worked in hospitability for 30+ years and it shows!! She really couldn't do enough for us - she goes above and beyond to help you out. The continental breakfast was lovely, all freshly made we also enjoyed sitting with the other guests and hearing about their experiences. We went on an early morning trip to Pompeii and we were left a tray with breakfast in our room the night before - lovely touch. Our room was spotlessly clean and although the bed was a bit firmer than we're used too we slept well. Any issues we had getting around Rome - Alessandra was on hand to give us advice and tips even sorting a taxis out for us to get to and from the airport.

RomaniaThe apartment is situated very close to the Vatican and to a bus station where you can take a bus straight to the center of the city and many major touristic sites. The neighbourhood is beautiful, safe and quiet. The apartment is just as in the pictures, with a shared space for eating and an open kitchen. The room was clean, I think it's just enough space for a couple and has all the amenities listed on booking. When we arrived, we were greeted by the host, Alessandra who showed us the building and the facility. She sat us down and explained a few tips and tricks for our stay in Rome and made some great recommendations that made our trip all the better (from touristic sites to various places to eat and activities to do). She is absolutely lovely, one of the best hosts we've met, and is always there for whatever you need - also the breakfast is well worth it as it varied and is enough to last you well into the afternoon. It's a really wonderful place and it deserves all the praise thanks to the amazing host.

Best of all, however, is the host, Alessandra. She immediately made us feel at home and took care of our various needs. She honestly was the best!!

United StatesIf you had an issue with your stay you only need to mention it to the host and they happily address your problem. The only negative we had was with the elevator. It does limit weight in the elevator so over loading it with people and luggage can cause a problem.
We booked this B&B and it was a great location. Our luggage was lost and the host helped recommend some shops so we could purchase clothes. The hosts husband is a taxi driver so he was able to take my husband to airport and help retrieve our luggage for the normal taxi fee. The host was very helpful with any quires we had and very helpful with any questions we had. I would stay here again as we had a local person provide us with great information. It was wonderful having a person help us through the lost luggage problem and help with questions about the city.

IcelandNothing Allesandra can do anything about, but just something to be aware about. It is a bit far from the city center, but still it was possible to walk to the city center in about 45 min. It is a 10-15 min walk from the Vatican museum.
Alessandra was an excellent host. She gave good tips about Rome and we had very nice discussions with her and the other guests at breakfast. Very clean and quiet. We felt very welcome in her B&B.
