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.).

CambodiaThe shower area was a little bit cramped, but what can you do in situations when you're in such a historical beautiful building.
The accommodation place is really beautiful and the room is very comfortable. However, one thing that they don't mention is just how breathtaking their view is from the garden. WOW WOW WOW!!! We had no idea that this region was going to be so spectacularly beautiful and wish that we had stayed longer for hiking but it just means we have to come back.

When I travel, the two most important things for me are cleanliness and the bed. This hotel is impeccably clean and the bed is super comfortable! And it’s sooo quiet. Tea room was appreciated.

United KingdomOur one night stay in this convent was absolutely what we were looking for. The convent is in a totally green area and only quietness rains. Perfect for those looking to relax and meditate. They also organize out of season yoga retreats. Rooms are very clean and staff cordial and professional. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for relaxation

The staff, especially Luisa and Maria were gracious and conscientious and made us feel very welcome. The food, especially the dinner, was outstanding, especially remarkable given the small staff! The convent building is peaceful and the local art work is nice. Beautiful views and sunsets!

GermanyThe convento di san colombo is a beautiful hotel where you can find quietness, a lovely room and a beautiful outside space with a beautiful view. Overall the perfect environment to relax. The hotel restaurant is highly recommended, reasonably priced and also offers vegetarian options. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Also they were extremely helpful when we had troubles with our car as they managed the communication in italian for us. They even went ahead and organized a place for us where we got the car fixed easily and fast.

Accommodation was clean. Room was a good size and very peaceful. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We ordered aperitivi which were served in the courtyard. Lovely glass of wine and homemade tasty nibbles. Dinner was excellent with a good food and wine selection. Breakfast was equally good.

BelgiumLocation is just above the village and not too far from the Campo Imperatore from where you can make wonderful hikes. We took inclusive dinner and dinner was exactly as it should be, fresh, tasteful and good portions. The place is very calm and away from busy streets. Also close by are the wonderful places Santo Stefano di Sessanio, Calascio and Castel del Monte. certainly a good spot to explore Campo and south of it.

United KingdomWe sometimes found it hard to track people down - we were told we could have coffee in the courtyard, but weren't given any times this was available and we never managed to find someone to make that happen, and didn't see anyone else having one either. We had to wait a short time at dinner for someone to appear, and the same on checking in. As per previous reviews the rooms can echo. It was quiet all night but once breakfast movement started it was quite noisy, but I think you have to accept that for the authenticity of the building.
Stunning location - the views from the terrace took our breath away and we could have looked at them for hours. Our room was much bigger than we had imagined (we had a mezzanine) and we loved how 'authentic' the building still seemed. Dinner and breakfast were very tasty and we liked the seating areas around the grounds. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

United StatesThe Convento is in a marvelous, quiet and lovely location with a superb view of the mountains. They have an excellent restaurant and a delicious and varied breakfast. There is a garden to stroll in to enjoy the mountains, the mediterranean plants and flowers, and to sit quietly with a book. It is a very peaceful place to start your vacation or to recover from the rigors of a trip to Rome.
