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.).

SlovakiaThe bed covers could be thicker in a cold weather.
Lovely stay which I totally recommend - The room was quite small but enough for two people with clean bathroom and comfy bed. We could also make a tea or coffee and we received breakfast vouchers for every morning to a close caffeteria including coffee, pastry and juice. And most importantly - the location of the accomodation is very good, 10mins walk from the Vatican City and 5 mins from the Vatican Museums. The provider is very sweet and helpful. :) Thanks!

SlovakiaI have never met such a nice attitude of a host. Claudia was extremely helpful with everything. Tips for restaurants, places. They also accommodated us in preparing the room earlier. The rooms were new and clean. Comfortable mattresses. Location Within 10 minutes on foot to the Vatican. 5 minutes to the metro station. I would definitely go back.

United StatesThe bathroom amenities were limited, but since we happened to be there when the cleaning crew was present it was remedied.
The rooms were large and well equipped. The location was central for walking and close to a metro stop. There were restaurants and shops close by. There is an interesting system to access the building but it was well described in advance and help was always available even though no one was actually on location. The breakfast was provided at a nearly restaurant that was good and very pleasant.

FranceA great location near the Vatican museum and close to cafes and restaurants. There is somewhere to leave luggage if you arrive earlier than the 3pm checkin which we found useful. We stayed for one night only and it was adequate for our needs. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable so we had a very restful night.

Czech RepublicMy parents, who do not speak any foreign language, were staying in the accommodation. Claudia was incredibly helpful. The accommodation was amazing according to my parents, everything was new and clean. Great location from where it is very close to the sights. Claudia regularly asked if everything was ok, advised where to restaurant, where the best ice cream was etc. Great accommodation which I can only recommend.

Isle of ManClaudia was the most helpful host. She was attentive, checking in regularly and giving wonderful advice and recommendations on local restaurants and shopping. The location of the apartment rooms are perfect. Five minutes from St Peters Square, a minute walk from the metro and surrounded with excellent bars and restaurants. The room was super comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Even complimentary coffee! Would definitely recommend staying here, total value for money and we would certainly return.

ArmeniaNo soundproofing inside, you could hear the hallway noises as they were in your room. Shower water was limited I guess, it got cold after a while.
The host was very nice, wrote us in detail how to get to the hotel, and how to check in (which was a little complex, but we got the clearest explanations, so we couldn't be able to get lost). We also got a small gift as it was Christmas :) The location was near the metro with 15 min to Termini and less to the common central areas, and was in 5-10 min walking distance to Vaticano.

Greecewe never met the owner in person, only messaging. we got wrong room number and code and mistakenly entered an occupied room, the address on Google Maps is wrong and despite having been warned we had to walk to the right address upon arrival. The breakfast voucher for the nearby cafe included just a coffee, a juice and a pastry. The passcodes, doors and corridors were noisy. No reception, luggage room unattended.
spacious room (with desk) and bathroom, comfortable bed, two different pillows to choose (or use both), espresso coffee machine and complimentary capsules every day, friendly owner offering surprise gifts for Christmas, convenient location next to a metro station and the Vatican, strong internet connection. Hot water and clean towels. Friendly staff at the nearby cafe where the breakfast was served. Free luggage room (but at one's own risk).

GermanyThe hotel doesn’t have facilities like a reception, the property and rooms are accessed with a code. The location is also difficult to find on Google Maps. However, this didn’t lead to any issues during my stay as Claudia warned me in advance. Overall, Relais Roma Vaticano offers great value for money.
Relais Roma Vaticano is a small hotel in a convenient location close to the Vatican. The rooms are newly renovated, modern, and clean, and the staff is wonderful. The owner, Claudia, was very welcoming and helpful, sharing useful information about the hotel before the trip and even sending me recommendations for places and things to do in the area. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable but affordable stay in Rome.
