How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Nothing at all
The apartment was only a five minute walk from Termini station. Lorenzo is an exceptional host. Breakfast was plentiful and the wifi was strong. The apartment is less than 100m on the left of Carlo Catteneo st. and before the park. Recommend Huaweiju Chinese restaurant when you turn right from C. Catteneo about 80m on the right side of road. Busy, cheap and delicious. Also if you like Italian across from Chinese restaurant is Trattoria Giovanni di va Roma a small restaurant with check table cloths and an owner who sings and plays a guitar, occasionally.

Breakfast. The lobby was shabby. There weren't directions for check-in, however, messaging through Booking.com was effective.
The size of the room was adequate. Lorenzo was a good host.

The room was very basic, tea and coffee facilities in the room would have been a nice touch. Though the location was good for public transport it was noisy on the street at night
The room was clean, bed was comfy. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Close to train station and metro. Breakfast was really big (pastries and pizza), we couldn't eat much of it!

Breakfast is okay. Adding some fruit would be nice.
It is very close to the train station, clean room and a nice quick breakfast to get you started on the day. The room was surprisingly quiet when you closed the double windows.

Lorenzo was a very friendly and welcoming host. He got our room ready just as soon we arrived and he even offered some very good coffee which we couldn't refuse.we La Girandola Bed & Breakfast was a few steps away from the Terravision shuttle bus stop in Termini. The included breakfast was substantial. We had coffee, fruit juice , yoghurt , donuts, croissants and some pizzas. Our room was right next to the street and we could hear through the window a man singing about his devotion to Rome and its football team in the middle of the night which we thought was funny. There even were umbrellas by the door just in case guests needed them. We definitely would stay here again whenever we're in Rome.

Firstly, it is very close to the "Rome Termini" station and very accessible to restaurants and tourist attractions. Secondly, the hospitality of the staff was very good. Third, at check-in, I had just arrived in Italy and was tired, but was impressed by the coffee I received.

Great location, really pleasant and clean room, but the thing that makes this such a good place to stay is Lorenzo. He is incredibly helpful and generous with his time and advice. Rooms are clean and comfortable, breakfast selection is immense, delicious and plenty of it. This is a great base for exploring Rome and surrounding area. We highly recommend staying here. Thanks for making our visit to Rome that much better. 😍 Would definitely stay here again!!

Unavoidably, proximity to Roma Termini has its noise level considerations at very early hours. Modern windows blocks out a lot though, so all in all we were able to get rest.
Our host was exceptional, with top breakfast service and modern rooms. The location was perfect for our requirement to be right near the train station for ongoing travel.

it's not this house fault, but the policy! Because of the policy in Rome, you can't check in over 6.
even in very early time, you can have breakfast if you ask. this is my second visit in four years.

A few steps, (maybe 10) when you first enter the building to carry luggage up, but there’s an elevator from there, up to the apartment. Not a big deal.
Perfect location, only steps from the Roma Termini train station. Great location for all public transport. Lorenzo was the ultimate host! Our room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were fresh and delicious! Our flight arrived early, and Lorenzo welcomed us with a lovely cappuccino. Luckily, our room was available and we were able to check in early and get a head start on touring Rome. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely stay at La Girandola if we’re lucky enough to visit Rome again. Grazie Mille, Lorenzo!
