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.).

United StatesBeautiful location very central and easy to walk everythere but not jam-packed full of tourists like the cathedral just a short walk away. Very close to the train station but on this lovely plaza so doesn't seem that close when you're there. Beautiful hotel, very nice and helpful staff. Would love to come back when the pool is open - but was there in November!

United StatesWe had a suite for two days, which was great, but due to availability we had to change to a smaller room. The bathroom in that room was terrible. The toilet and bidet were crunched to each other. For the value, I would never stay in that room again.

AustraliaIt is a good idea if there would be some different items with more diversity in breakfast everyday.
The location was great and very close to most of landmarks, the room was spacious and really romantic like its name and the breakfast was really good as well. Just one point, as we were there for 5 days we have not seen diversity in day to day breakfast, but with no doubt it was really good per se.

United KingdomAmazing location, and the rooftop pool is a fantastic bonus. The hotel room was very nice - we had one of the standard doubles - functional and very clean. We asked for a kettle and tea/coffee which came immediately. The rooftop bar is a nice treat, but drinks and food are very expensive - €15 for a glass of wine. Breakfast was good with some very nice cakes served each day, as well as fruit, yogurts, hams and cheeses, different breads, eggs, bacon, mushrooms. The coffee wasn’t the best we’d had in Italy, and tasted quite bitter. However, it’s well worth a stay here just for the pool and the views!

United StatesBut for both nights we stayed, we had no wi-fi connection in room 129, so we could not check-in for our flights online nor could we receive important notices (such as flight delays and seat switches) we had signed up for from airlines). We also could not utilize wi-fi to watch shows from Netflix etc. so we watched no TV (all other channels were Italian TV). Also, the first night - we only had shampoo and soap. I luckily always snag a bottle of conditioner and body lotion from hotels that provide them, just in case the next one does not. The next day, everything was provided...but we were desperate for it on the first day and were sticking our fingers into bottles to get the last drop out. We didn't feel like calling from the desk ... the note about being able to call the front desk we if forgot supplies was not in the bathroom so we didn't know we could do it. We saw the note the next day when all the usual supplies were provided to us. Also, the rooftop swimming pool was open between 9am - 7pm. I really wanted to use it before I started my day, or after a long hot day out around the city. It seemed to be available for people who spent their late morning and early evenings un the hotel. I actually booked the hotel for the swimming pool and never used it... who stays in the hotel to use the pool past 9am and come to the hotel just to swim before dinner time?
Loved everything...location, breakfast, staff at breakfast
