How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Not recommended without a car. It is a very long walk from the centre of town. There is a good bus service from the bottom of the hill, the 24 bus seems to go twice a day from outside the hotel. Getting taxis was often very difficult.
This was a lovely place to stay. Unfortunately we had terrible weather so we couldn’t make the most of the views, terrace and pool which were all great. Room comfortable and a good size, lovely big balcony with nice views.

I would not recommend it to anyone who arrives by train, it is quite a walk and part of it steep uphills, the taxi service in La Spezia is too patchy to make this a viable option.
Lovely place and friendly reception.

The drive up the winding road can be confusing the first time, and the parking on the street. Didn't always have a parking space close by.
We liked the B&B, tastefully furnished, wonderful hosts, it was very nice indeed. Has a little garden to sit in, and great views. Easy 1 mile commute to the main train station.

Unfortunately the pool wasn't filled with water during our stay. The sweet breakfast for 12€ consists mostly of cake but the view is nice.
The owners were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and nice but not too big.

We payed 360€ for 2 nights in a „superior double room with seaview“. Unfortunately the room was really small, it was almost impossible to be together (2 people) at the same time in this room. Also we did not have a sea view!! Neither from our room nor from our balcony - we had a big Terrasse on the roof (which was really nice) but there is the main house right in front of you. You have to bend over the railing to have a side view to the ocean. Not what we expected and what we paid for. That was really sad :-(
The house is located on a hill therefore you have a really wonderful view over the city, port and sea. Very beautiful!! Our room was very clean and the pool (+garden) looked so pretty and also very clean!! There are always free parking lots on the street or on a little parking plateau. This was very good because the parking situation in the city is beyond horrible!! :D

Pool advertised, yet not working. No block out blind on window in the room, therefore we were woken at 6aam by the sun shining in our face.
Didn’t like it. Very expensive for what you get. Booked for a relaxation by the pool and a nice swim after hours of driving, only to be told once we got there and asked where the pool was, that it was not working.

Extremely small room. You will need a car to get to the location as it’s high up a hill and 30-40 minutes walk to the front. Didn’t use the pool which was on a separate location in the owners garden. We were a late booking but felt very it was extremely overpriced.
Clean and well maintained. Bedding, showers etc all very good condition. La Spezia and surrounding waterfront towns are well worth a visit. If you have a car can be a useful base to explore.

The owner was a little bit gruff and not particularly welcoming. The "garden view" was really a few of the villa next door, about 15 feet away.
Breakfast was not included, but was offered at 18 euros per person, which is in or opinion very expensive. Breakfast needed to be ordered the night before. Was nice to sit out on their terrace in the evening and have a beer, but owner did not always remember to keep cold ones handy. Good water pressure in the bathroom, and nice big towels.
