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 StatesThe property is stunning. Le Casa della Saracca is 800 years old and Giulio has done a wonderful job at maintaining its historical essence. Every room has a unique personality and should not be missed. The bed is comfortable and the room has all the amenities one could ask for. This has been one of my favorite stays of all time.

United StatesNothing! I would not change a thing!
Words cannot begin to describe this unique and beautiful property. It is stunning-- an old building but totally refurbished inside. Family owned and managed, they were absolutely amazing hosts-- they could not have been more accommodating. The food was delicious and the owner gave us a tour of his wine cellar-- just incredible. The rooms were incredibly spacious, and some of the rooms in our group had large sitting areas where we could convene as a family. The location is great and an easy walk into town and to other restaurants, etc. I would not hesitate to stay here again. It was perfect in every way.

A fantastic stay at Le Case della Saracca. Love this nice small hotell in this 1000 years old building - and the host Guilio was very helpful and warm. Perfect place for wine lovers :-)

MontenegroIt was perfect, but guests should note that - because the hotel is within the pedestrianized part of the old town - it is not possible to drive to the door. However, ample parking is usually available close by.
It is always such a treat staying here, the hotel is unique and very comfortable. Built into the side of a cliff, and made up of four connected medieval buildings, each room is different and connected though a series of hallways and caverns. The bar and restaurant on the ground floor are terrific, and the wine list - and wine cellars - are exceptional, and with an encyclopedia selection from Barolo. Giulio and his team go out of their way to ensure a lovely stay. We are always treated like good friends who have come to visit.

NorwayThe wifi did not work that well but it was not a big problem for us as we have the option of using regular data on the phones, the hotel is at the top of town so there is a bit of uphill to get back to the hotel if you have been walking in the village center
A unique hotel! The rooms were unlike anything I have stayed at, the view from the small balcony was amazing, it was an adventure to walk through the "labyrinth" to get to the room and to the bar, lovely restaurant with an amazing wine list, great service!

United KingdomNothing: it’s fantastic
This is a place with extraordinary character and history, beautifully restored into a boutique hotel and restaurant. The rooms are stylishly simple but the building, essentially a series of medieval caves, is stunningly creative in itself and needs little dressing up. The food is excellent, the wine list extensive (and that’s even before you get to the off-list collection!) and Giuglio is a wonderful host. Nothing is too much trouble for him, whether rustling up some pasta for us when we arrived late, helping with itineraries or phoning restaurants and wineries. We had a fantastic time and cannot recommend it more highly. A true 10/10!

NetherlandsA beautiful place where past (many centuries-old building) meets present (comfort, airco, great bed, splendid mix with steel and glass) both at the hotel as well as the adjacent restaurant. Great personal hospitality displayed by Giulio and his team made you feel welcome and taken care of. The restaurant has an impressive winelist with over 100 Barolo wines from the local area, to only be multiplied with Barolo’s from further afield, Barbarescos, Barberas, Dolcettos and many other which combine great with the Piedmontese food on the menu. An adventure for the senses in many ways! No wonder many of his guests return year after year, and we definitely aim to come back in the near future! Grazie mille Giulio
