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.).

HungaryThe room was a bit too small, driving uphill to the location for an unexperienced or less experienced car driver would be a challenge.
Almost everything was nice and great including the location and the view to the city. Great value for the money

United StatesThis is not negative at all…..it has very steep curvy roads and is on the side of a very steep cliff. If you have issues with motion sickness or heights, just be aware. It’s still absolutely worth it though still. Heavy bags though could be a challenge. I would just speak with them ahead of time.
The best view I’ve ever had!!!!Fantastic price, very hospitable, Manuels (I believe is the woman who runs it) is lovely. Everything was clean and breakfast was delicious. I couldn’t say anything negative at all.

BrazilThere isn’t elevator so if you have luggages bear in mind you’ll have to carry it through stairs. The wi-fi is very poor. You can consider it doesn’t offer. The towels did not dry from one day to another and this was uncomfortable.
The view was astonishing! The room was spacious and comfortable.

AustraliaVery clean, good facilities, we loved that it was outside of the town and up on the hill overlooking La Spezia and the water. The staff were so friendly and the dinner was delicious! We ate there 2 nights of the 3 that we stayed there. Special mention to Paulo, he was fantastic in every way and a really great asset. He made our stay memorable and very enjoyable! Thank you Paulo. Hope to meet again one day.

SlovakiaThere are a few minor details, that can be improved. Quite a lot of water was leaking through the glass shower door, onto the bathroom floor, while taking shower. There should be a "Do not disturb" sign available on each room, also a bootjack would be handy. We missed some fruit tea for breakfast (not flavored black or green tea). There are quite a lot of wasp nests in the walls near the parking area and the breakfast/dinner terrace. Could be an issue for someone with an allergy or small kids.
We had a very good time at Pietra II. The staff is awesome, kind, helpful and very welcoming. The location is beautiful, quiet and more pleasant, than the overheated and crowded city of La Spezia. You will find youself enjoying the views of La Spezia, surrounding mountains and the sea. We felt very comfortable and got much more, than we anticipated from the photos and description. There was also very tasty pasta available as a quick dinner. A vending machine for drinks is a nice touch. Room was equipped with silent and powerful air conditioning.

Netherlands10 hour check-out is a little bit early. The bedside lights are ridiculously bright. The bathroom was very small, as a tall person my legs go under the sink when sitting on the toilet 😅
Amazing view over La Spezia from the hotel. In a very quiet area high up the hill.

IrelandBe mindful if you don’t like walking that the buses have a very set timetable & a taxi will put you out €15/20. Each night we walked to the taxi rank at the train station to get home as the last bus is 8.30pm. I think it would be of benefit for the property to provide a local taxi number or have their own taxi services as it is only a 5 minute drive down to the centre of town. Due to the location of the property we had to pack a bag for the whole day as it would be too awkward to go back up and down then for dinner. The air conditioning in the room also wasn’t that great - I would find it hard to sleep during the hotter months with these conditions!
The ideal base for a few days visiting the Cinque Terre, and La Spezia! We spent 3 days here, 2 visiting the Cinque Terre (the easiest train ride from La Spezia) and then one day exploring La Spezia. La Pietra provided the perfect base - but beware it is high up a steep hill just behind La Spezia town. There is a bus that runs right outside, but the times can be awkward - we ended up walking down the two mornings, and it was a gorgeous walk about 25-30 minutes to the centre of town. The view from La Pietra 1 is absolutely spectacular, overlooking La Spezia.
