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 KingdomThe beds weren't comfortable to sleep in, It wasn't a double bed, twin single beds were combined. We really struggled to sleep.
Olivium offers a serene retreat with comfortable rooms and baths, although breakfast is not provided. While driving is recommended for access, the property's serene location amidst olive tree plantations enhances its charm. From its vantage point, guests are treated to a mesmerizing bird's eye view of the expansive ocean and bustling city below, offering a picturesque blend of urban vibrance and coastal tranquility.

The accommodation is situated on the hillside overlooking La Spezia. The far view is exceptional and can be enjoyed especially from a large central terrace. However, we also had the opportunity to admire the view from the small terrace of our apartment. Especially at sunrise or sunset a beautiful experience. The olive grove cultivated by the accommodation completes the experience. Also very suitable for a trip to cinque terre. The accommodation is easy to reach by car. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The accommodation is clean and nicely maintained. The apartments offer everything you need. In summary, highly recommended.

United KingdomBeautiful location up in the hills with a view of The Bay of La Spezia. Spotlessly clean. We stayed in a studio which is more than adequate for a couple. Plenty of hangers in the wardrobes and cooking facilities are good. Swimming pool is gorgeous. Shop and a local (good) restaurant 1.5km away. Our host was very friendly and approachable for any information needed. If u have a car and want to get away from the tourists, I can wholly recommend a stay here. We have been before and will definitely be back again.

BelgiumThe only downside on our apartment (the 2 bedroom apartment) was the rather small terrace at our kitchen, is was a bit tight for 4 persons, but there was a very large common terrace available too, but since we had to go outside our apartment and around the house to get there, it was not used by us to enjoy /breakfast/lunch/dinner due to too much stuff to carry ;-) The sofa was also not very comfortable, but we didn't come on vacation to stay inside in a sofa, so no real problem there...
the location was very quiet and peaceful, the rooms were exactly like on the pictures, everything was clean and the staff was extremely helpful and very friendly. Alessandra helped us a lot to make bookings for restaurants, boat, gave us tips where to shop and villages to visit too. The view from our terrace was fantastic and at evening we could regularly spot a wild deer, really cool ;-) The pool has plenty of seats and shade possibilities due to many parasols, which is also a great advantage.

For anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, you should come and stay at Olivium. A property facing the scenic valley and the city lights could be seen at a distance. The rooms are spacious with all kitchenette amenities and a wonderful spacious washroom along with a private space with dining table and a sofa set with a division to your room. The property is beautiful and located on a hill. The laundry services are great. There is also an outer sitting space with chairs and umbrellas to give you the choice to seek sun or shade. We usually loved Walking around and enjoyed the beautiful pool side with ample number of sunbeds to rest and read in peace. Our greatest heartfelt thanks to the wonderful owner Nicola who went over and beyond to ensure that we had the perfect stay. He was kind enough to have us dropped to the train station which was situated downhill. Also, a great thanks to Florin who gave us amazing recommendations to the Cinque Terre Villages and what all to do at the La Spezia. Overall a wonderful stay with our hosts.

LatviaThe ironing was not available in the room. It was possible to iron clothes only in the special room of the villa with the administration's approval. The employee was very nice and understanding and let the iron what was necessary, but as I understood, the ironing is not exactly included in the overall service.
The apartment was clean and cozy with an authentic Italian atmosphere. The view from the balcony was amazing. The outdoor territory around the villa was very beautiful and tidy.

United KingdomWhat a location! Surrounded by the most glorious views. Wonderful pool in the middle of an olive grove. And the staff were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The owner (Nicola) and receptionist (Alessandra) were in touch before we arrived, there when we needed them and invisible when we didn't. Thank you both.
