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.).

AustraliaVery comfortable apartment in a great area. Our charming host Silvio had all the answers and plenty of suggestions to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Bus stop right outside takes you to Colosseum and into city centre and there are numerous bars and restaurants within walking distance. Very quiet and extremely safe. Highly recommended by us both and we've travelled alot. Grazie mille. SILVIO.

PortugalThe only negative thing was that our room was right next to the communal kitchen area, and sometimes people were noisy when doing their dishes and talking out there in the morning. It could be helpful to have a sign to remind people that other people may be resting in their rooms, and maybe to let people know about that when they check in. Most of the time it was fine, but some people did wake us up one morning. It was still better than staying on a busy street with motorcycles and ambulances, though — there was none of that.
We loved this part of Trastevere because it was quiet but we could easily walk to restaurants, shops, and the river. The house is gorgeous, with a lovely garden that we wish we'd spent more time in. The room and bathroom were large and well maintained. Silvio is very helpful and friendly. We would stay here again.

AustraliaThe bed was a bit firm for us - but maybe just personal taste.
Location is brilliant!! Trastevere is a fantastic location. Easy walking or bus to main attractions (we walked but up to 20km per day). But heaps of great coffee shops and restaurants within a few hundred metres and a quiet safe area. Couldn't rate the area more highly. The Villa was beautiful. Old and majestic and spacious. Ideal room for couple plus child. (We found it hard to find family accommodation with enough beds so great to find a room with large double plus single). Very clean and under the very friendly hosting of Silvio who was always available to give advice or assist with organising transport etc. Limo pickup from airport was best as arrived jet lagged. We'd stay here again!

Spaineverything was very nice.
Absolutely lovely villa in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Rome, not far also from the main monuments (both by walking or by public transport). The garden, and the building, were very, very nice (I guess in spring/summer, this is a paradise to just rest and read a book) The room was clean, spacious, bright, cute, and super comfortable. Also, there was a little kitchen to prepare coffee and tea. And a very nice terrace, perfect if you still did not quit smoking. Also, Silvio's restaurant help and recommendations, are a 10/10. What a nice time in Rome!

I arranged a stay in Rome whilst working on a personal art project. Unfortunately on the way to the hotel from the airport my taxi was involved in an accident and I had to go to hospital to deal with cracked ribs.... Silvio waited up for me to arrive and helped me settle in at 2 in the morning and he and his wife were very caring during my stay at Villa Matissa. My project was somewhat hampered by the accident and I will be returning to Rome in the spring to complete it. I wouldn't look ay further for another hotel. Villa Matissa is a lovely property and very well located. All I could have hoped for. Check it out.

AustraliaNot much we didn't love about Villa Matissa - this was a great place to stay and we'll definitely be recommending it to others, and hopefully will be able to book to stay here again in future!
Our stay at Villa Matissa was wonderful. Silvio is a brilliant host and got in touch with us the day before our arrival to check in and confirm what time we'd arrive. Unfortunately, I didn't see the message until just before we arrived at Villa Matissa, and despite showing up early and mostly unannounced, we were welcomed and checked in quickly and easily, before leaving our luggage and going to explore while our room was being prepared. The room was beautiful, big and spacious, and looked onto the gorgeous garden. There was also an upstairs terrace that we enjoyed some wines on one evening, which was a brilliant bonus. Silvio kindly provided some recommendations for the area as well, which made our first few days in Rome much easier and more relaxed. (All marvelous recommendations too!) Airconditioning in the room, along with a wonderfully comfortable bed, made our time spent at Villa Matissa all the more lovely. The location was great, and we easily made it on foot to large attractions such as the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. On our departure, Silvio also arranged a taxi for us to get to the station on time for our train. Much appreciated!
