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.).

GermanyEsmeralda was an amazing host, who was always available for questions and regulary checked on us. The apartment was always clean and we were daily provided with water and snacks. We also received a lot of information for the area as well as restaurant recommendations, which we happily used! A supermarket is 50m away and the train station about 7min by walk. We would definitely come back

We are on a 3 month Europe trip and this was the best place we have stayed! Esmeralda is so kind and offers many recommendations in the area. She is available at any time to help with anything! She went above and beyond cleaning the place each morning and leaving waters every day! The pull out bed was even really comfortable!! Wish we didn’t have to leave her place! Next time I am in the area will definitely be booking with her again!

Everything. Located near the train station and very close to the supermarket. The apartment was clean. Is very modern and equipped with all the necessary things. We traveled with a 6-month-old baby and a cot was provided. The bed was one of the best - we slept as babies. The best part was the host. She is the best host you can find in La Spezia. Every day she cleaned, always left us something to snack on, helped us with recommendations, answered us at all times, and always provided help. We recommend this location

Very nice apartment! Newly renovated and very fresh, clean. Esmeralda, the host, is nice and super friendly!!! The location was also very good, lower than 10 min walk to La Spezia train station. Very easy to get to Cinque Terre. A grocery store was very nearby. Everything was excellent!

United KingdomThe WiFi was a little slow but I think it is the area .
We stayed at Casa Esmeralda over the Easter weekend. We picked La Spezia as a base for exploring the Cinque Terre. Esmeralda is a wonderful host and is very helpful and friendly. She made us feel very welcome. The apartment is a 10 minute walk from the train station, which was perfect for us. There is a supermarket close by. Although close to the train line we did not hear the trains at night. The apartment is beautifully decorated and is very new. I loved staying here!

AustraliaLocation was good but the proximity to the trains does mean there is a little noise until they stop in the evening but this was minor and not too disruptive
Excellent location close to the train station and also the city centre. Esmeralda was lovely and met us at the property and provided lots of helpful travel suggestions and made extra effort to ensure a comfortable stay. The property appears to have been recently renovated and is well appointed.

We loved this property so much. The entire place was newly renovated and completely modern. Very spacious and clean. Huge bedroom, bathroom and lounge with a very cute outdoor terrace. The location is absolutely brilliant - only a short 5 minute walk to the station and 15 minutes to the port. Esmeralda was a fantastic host who gave great recommendations on places to visit and information on Cinque Terre. The apartment is cleaned daily with refills on coffee, water and a few breakfast items. We would highly recommend this place to anyone!

SpainThe size of the apartment is perfect, the property is very close to the train station for those who want to visit Cinque Terre and only 10 min walking from the marina and there is a supermarket next to the apartment. The apartment was very new and clean. The apartment was cleaned every day and our host went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. She sent us many recommendations about how to move around and restaurants and she even offered to keep our luggage if we would need it after check-out.

The property is perfect for exploring Cinque Terre towns. It is a quick walk from the train station. The apartment is new, clean, comfortable & spacious. It was the best stay we had in Italy and also cost the least. The apartment looks exactly like the pictures and was the largest one we stayed in Italy. Esmeralda cleaned everyday, gave us free water, fresh towels without having to ask her. She also gave us a complimentary bottle of wine when we arrived and a farewell snack pack. We could check in early, she also gave us plenty of recommendations. All areas of the apartment are large and spacious. The aircon worked very well. There is also two TVs. Plenty of space for luggage, I was impressed that two big suitcases could fit on the luggage shelf. There is a little terrace outside or you can relax in the dining or lounge area. The shower is huge and modern. The stay was perfection and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to explore Cinque Terre.

United KingdomIf you’re wishing to see La Spezia specifically, be advised the apartment is a 20-25min walk away from the port. But as previously stated perfect location for travel around Cinque Terre and for Florence/Pisa.
The apartment was newly renovated and contemporary in design with new facilities and a great shower. Absolutely spotless, with the cleaning carried out each day. As a host Esmeralda went beyond expectations with a comprehensive guide to the local amenities and Cinque Terre. The apartment was also well stocked with complementary refreshments everyday which was a nice touch. The apartment is ideally situated just a couple of minutes walk from the train station for those wishing to travel by train.

The owner (Esmeralda) was very warm and sweet. She gave us good tips about excursions, food and other things. The Casa Esmerald is beautifully furnished with high quality equipment but still much emphasis was placed on functionality. You can see that the comfort of the guests is very important to the owner. A small supermarket is just around the corner, as well as the train station is only 5 minutes walk away.
