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 location is perfect - walking distance to Termini station and most Rome attractions. The room itself was very clean and spacious enough with everything we needed. I always worry about the bed when I travel. The bed was excellent with a good firm mattress (but not too hard). It was warm on cold rainy days as there is heating. Francesca and Walter were excellent hosts- friendly and ready to help. They suggested a very nice breakfast place 4 minutes walking distance and we ate there every day. I will miss the place!

GreeceThe window of our room overlooked a courtyard, resulting in limited natural light and a dark ambiance. Additionally, we found the room to be equipped with only the bare essentials, and the furnishings were somewhat outdated. Lastly, the room lacked soundproofing, and we could hear the conversations from the next room
We had a pleasant stay overall. The room was clean and spacious, featuring a recently renovated bathroom, which was a definite plus. The owner was very friendly and accommodating, readily providing us with helpful information about the city, which enhanced our experience. Moreover, the neighborhood proved convenient for travelers like us. While not situated directly in the city center, it was close to the train station and within walking distance of several key attractions.

With what shall I start? First of all, a big THANK YOU to Francesca and Valter for the birthday surprise! They left me speechless ❤️. When it comes to the accommodation, our room and the entire unit were extremely clean and welcoming. Penelope Holiday is very close to the city center, which made the experience even better and less stressful. Bus stops, shops, (really good) restaurants are nearby. Thanks to Francesca and Valter’s recommendations we got to eat the most delicious (& cost effective) italian dishes. Once again, THANK YOU for everything and ci vediamo presto!

My husband and I love the personal touch of the owners (Francesca and Valter) of Penelope Holiday that they always welcomed us with a beautiful and friendly smiles and wished us a good day from starting the day until returning from our long walking/sightseeing day in Rome. That itself made us feel at home. We were happy and lucky to have a great host amidst many other guesthouses in the city. You will not regret choosing Penelope Holiday, from value for money, location, facilities, and hospitality, based on our opinions and experiences -- they all ticked the boxes and met our expectations. If we have the opportunity again to visit Rome, we surely would choose to stay at Penelope Holiday. All the best to Francesca and Valter! Hope to see you both again someday 😀

Was lucky to book this a week in advance. The Ryder Cup was in Rome so everything was busy. Was within walking distance from termini. Hostess Francesca and her partner were very helpful and informative. Made us reservations a a wonderful restaurant within walking distance. Elevator to reach room.

PolandIt would be handy to have some more storage space in the bathroom - maybe some shelves and a small cupboard close to the washbasin
Exceptionally clean place, and the couple owning Penelope Holiday is just lovely. They are warm and friendly people. The location is very good if you plan to visit various parts of Rome - it's not far from the city center, closer to Villa Borghese than to Colosseum. Major landmarks as well as Vatican City can be reached within ca. 20-45mins walk. A few great gelaterias are nearby - Gelateria la Romana has one of their places nearby, and Latte located 5mins away sells absolutely masterpiece artisanal gelato. Ask Francesca for recommendations and you won't be disappointed
