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 KingdomThere was nothing to dislike about this hotel. There was some building work happening during my stay which was slightly disruptive but it didn’t spoil my experience here.
Hotel Pausania was very charming and typically Venetian. The location was perfect and the hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. I have been to Venice many times staying in various types of accommodation but wouldn’t hesitate to book this hotel again.

United KingdomNothing!
Lovely hotel in a great location. We were only staying one night but the receptionist kindly organised a canal view which was beautiful. Our room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed and is decorated in the Venetian style which my daughter loved. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from Campo Santa Margherita and within walking distance of Academia and Piazza San Marco. It is also only five minutes walk to a Grand Canal Vaporetto stop. Would happily stay here again!

United StatesNope. Liked it all.
Very helpful hosts, good breakfast, soft beds. Right on a canal, so it lived up to its "canal romance" we were only there 3 days, so we didn't have a feel for what was around us.

United KingdomBathroom not helpful to older people. No shower mat. Tricky, the more so because of the oddly designed shower.
A lovely quiet part of Venice, with lovely walks, but the busier Accademia district not far away, and the pleasant and friendly Campo San Barnaba close at hand..

AustraliaAlthough they had a porter service, we didn’t factor the very steep steps up to our room. And as I have a back issue I struggled. This shouldn’t put you off though as I guess had we known and asked for a lower ground floor room they probably would have obliged.
Location, styling, calm and peaceful away from crowds yet in the heart of Venice.

United KingdomThe single rooms are small but they are quiet and the beds are comfortable.
The staff were all lovely as was the hotel itself - in a delightful quiet location beside a canal yet within easy walking distance of the bus station and the main attractions. I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in Venice.

United KingdomThe bathrooms are a little on the small side and would be better without the mini bath/shower combo and just have a walk in shower.
It was like a home from home with a real sense of family amongst the staff. The position is great and not far from the Da Vinci and Academia museums. Some great little restaurants away from the main tourists areas also.

GermanyBe prepared to walk stairs, not a big deal, but consider this when you decide on the size of luggage you want to bring with you.
The location is perfect for exploring the city.. 5 Min walk to famous Vaporetto Line 1 or 10 Min to Accademia for San Marco, Rialto, Cannaregio,or the Line 2 covering Guidecca,.. Great Osteria next door, Jazz Club opposite ( no worries no noise ). Short stroll to Restaurants and other Bars.

United KingdomWe were troubled by mosquito bites at night, and it was only on our third night when I asked reception if that had any spray to deter them, that they provided an excellent plug-in device which put an end to the problem. It would have been sensible to have this in the room to start with.
It is a well refurbished palazzo on a quiet side canal, within easy walking distance of some major sights (Frari, Accademia, Peggy Guggenheim collection) and 4 vaporetto stops (Ca Rezzonico, Accademia, San Basilio and Zattere) Our room was lovely with a view of the internal courtyard, and it was quiet. Breakfast offered a good, fresh selection.
