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 StatesWe had difficulty contacting the management team. there were some issues with the apartment, primarily the WiFi. Management might have known before our arrival, but we were never able to use the WiFi during our entire stay at the property. Parking is expensive. Very disappointing.
The photos of the property and view were accurate, and I could not take better photos. There is no way to leave Portofino with a negative opinion....simply one of the most beautiful spots in the world.

New ZealandThe front door key was very hard to operate the whole time we were there, even though the agent changed our keys. No tea/coffee or sugar. We had to take our own rubbish away or there was a fine!!!
The location was terrific

GermanyThe apartment is on the 2nd floor of an old building with no elevator. The steps are really steep and I would not recommend this apartment for older people and even for us getting our luggage up and down was difficult.
The host was super helpful, very clear information about the whole process of collecting keys to where the apartment is. She provided video of everything and it was super easy collecting the keys. The apartment was super clean, really outstanding. The view from the apartment and location is even better than what one can see on the photos, and the view in the evening onto the harbour was magical. I added a photo of the day and night view from the apartment.

CyprusA very steep staircase to reach the second floor and no one to help! Really old fashioned furniture! Only one air condition in the whole apartment so people living in the bedroom had to leave the door open! The agent was not really helpful! Had to drag us to her work to get the key for the check in instead of meeting us at the apartment or providing self check in. The front door was not opening and we were waiting for her for one hour to come and explain.

AustraliaOK, IF YOU ARE GOING TO STAY HERE YOU SHOULD KNOW THE FOLLOWING: The keys for the apartment are not available in Portofino. You will have to collect them in nearby Santa Margherita Ligure. As we were travelling by train this was not convenient to have to stop in this town and walk to the office with our luggage. When we got to the office the key safe wouldn’t open. The keys were in a different safe we discovered. In the safe were two different sets of keys. This was confusing. We called our contact person about this - they didn’t answer. We eventually got someone else on the phone who said that both sets of keys were for our apartment. We explained that they were different. They said “no, they’re the same”. We made it to the apartment in Portofino - lovely location. We couldn’t get the front door open, but more on that later. BE AWARE - there is a very long, very steep, very narrow and very dark flight of stairs from the front door to the apartment. You may find this difficult to manage. BE AWARE - the apartment is not signed in any way. You’ll have to guess where it is. BE AWARE - the apartment has nothing provided for you. There’s no tea/coffee/milk/biscuits/snacks/anything. There’s a “kitchenette” but you need to know that there’s no supermarket in Portofino to buy anything. We paid $900AUD for two nights. Would it be so hard to provide at least something for the arriving traveller?? ALSO - the shower does not drain properly, and there were what looked like small blood stains on the sheets. ALSO - during the night some sort of plumbing noise/vibration went on at the rear of the apartment, for hours at a time. I was unable to resolve this. BACK TO THE FRONT DOOR - after we went out for a while we returned to find that the key wouldn’t open the front door. At all. Totally stuffed. The lock is old and sticky and needs replacing. Eventually we got a guy from the shop next door to try it and we finally managed to get it open.
Superb location right on the harbour. Spacious, clean apartment.
