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.).

GreeceWe had an absolutely fantastic stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The lobby was beautifully decorated and had a lovely, relaxing vibe. Our room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable - I slept like a baby each night. The bathroom was very original and well-appointed. Overall, I can't say enough good things about our experience. The location was stunning, the amenities were fantastic, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable and relaxing stay. I will definitely be returning the next time I need a rejuvenating "trip into the past" getaway!

GermanyThis place was beautiful! Fireplace in shared room was cozy. The candles added a luxurious nod to the simple yet elegant atmosphere. Very quiet and peaceful. The hotel provided special surprises for our four-legged family member. The proximity to a hiking trail was an unexpected bonus! We even flew a kite from the breezy hillside.

The staffs were very kind and helpful in carrying baggages, booking restaurants and telling us the story. Breakfast and lounge were also very nice abd confortable, as well as the restaurant.

What a unique hotel high up in the mountains in a 16th century abandoned village. The floors and ceilings are original with comfortable beds made of wool. Modern bathrooms though. Lovely soap and oil in the bathroom. Staff were fantastic. The restaurant was rustic. We also enjoyed the extra activity of truffle hunting. The separate bar was also excellent

CanadaLack of options for cocktails was the only negative, but other options more than satisfied us.
Learning about the history of the project, the location, breakfast was outstanding, bed was super comfortable. We loved the linens, soaps and artifacts. The candles were amazing, providing a sweet glow even during the night, to allow you to see your way around the room without using the lights....they provided a warm glow that did not disturb your sleep.

It is a unique property comprised of various buildings in this historic, medieval, I believe, hill settlement. The spaces are unique and I appreciate that the hotel is breathing life into a place which may have fell into disuse previously. The staff is very professional and friendly as well.

SwitzerlandThe only thing missing in the room is a fan, it gets too hot
An incredible charming historical hotel in the most charming medieval borghetto. It really feels as if we were back in time. The medieval decoration of the hotel really sets up an incredible ambiance of those times. The cantina is a must see and experience an aperitivo. The staff is very friendly and always with a genuine smile. We had an amazing, relaxed time.

ItalyEven just one night in this enchanted village allows you to understand the soul and history of Abruzzo and the Abruzzesi. It's not just a stay: it's an experience! Wonderful! Get ready to leave the usual rhythms behind and enter the ancient time of transhumance and the cadences marked by nature. Both the attention to detail and the study and love that evidently underlie this project are greatly appreciated. You will not find a television, but the essential comforts (heating, bathroom, some rooms with a very romantic bathtub for two), incredibly comfortable beds, despite the old-fashioned wooden shelf, candles and fireplaces. Excellent food at the Locanda sotto gli Archi and aperitifs or lighter meals at the Cantinone, where it is also possible to read or socialise. Meals, wines, herbal teas, oil, all designed to preserve the past and revive faces and traditions. Stop here, travellers! You will not regret it!
