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.).

ItalyThe only problem, which could not be helped, was lots of steep stone steps to reach our rooms. But it was worth it.
No breakfast, but lovely cafés close by. Wonderful old building on several different levels. Beautiful view from terrace in front of our rooms. Helpful staff.

United KingdomAmazing location and unique setup. After finding some problems in the first room it was promptly changed so we ended up in a nice space. A lot of steps were not a problem for us but worth remembering about it before booking. Beautiful part of the world. Good value for money. Rooms are cosy but big enough if you are planning to spend days outside sightseeing and exploring Cinque Terre.

AustraliaWe were in the room at the very top of the stairs, 89 steps to be exact. So if you have knee or hip problems this is not ideal.
The location was central for waterfront ristorante and lane way access to the grotto.

United KingdomAs with any central location, there's a level of general street noise coming from restaurants and tourists, along with early morning rubbish and street vacuum-cleaner trucks that keep the town pristine over the summer season. Pack light as there are quite a few stairs and no lift.
Good value, simple accommodation operated by a welcoming family team. A prime location over multiple levels, offering great views of the market square and the harbour. Everything that Porto Venere offers is literally right on the doorstep and the manager makes a great Negroni.

Old building with charm in a very beautiful, central location. Room with sea view is worth it. Definitely fine for a short stay.

FranceTo enjoy more the balcony and the view from it, it would have been great to have a kettle or a microwave in the room to warm something up to eat or drink seated at the outdoor table.
Warm welcoming and very nice location. We got a room with a large balcony and a beautiful view. There was no kettle to make our breakfast tea, but the landlord kindly warmed up some water for us.

United KingdomThere was a wall mounted hair dryer in the bathroom but it seemed to be broken. Shower cubicle was very small. Would be good to provide WiFi Password in the rooms.
Very beautiful hotel with lots of steps set into the hill. Didn't have a sea view but that meant it was quieter at night and we still had a great view of Portovenere, so don't worry if there are no rooms with sea view available. The room had AC which was a very welcome surprise! The room was a good size, all things you might need (little lamps for reading, storage, small desk). The bathroom is small but good and clean, the towels were changed over night (although for the environment it would be good to only change towels that are on the floor). Wonderful, very central location. Little focaccia shop/bakery right outside to grab some breakfast.
