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 StatesIt was much farther from the Colosseum where we also did a tour, so we took a taxi. The breakfast was good but minimal. It was also hard to find the entrance and confusing as to how to enter the building and where it was located once we got into the building.
The close proximity to the Vatican was great because we did a tour there. The bathroom was nice and spacious. The bed was comfortable.

FinlandI was expecting a reception, but it was easy to contact the place. It could be mentioned that strollers don't fit the elevator. Luckily, it's only one floor up. Considering people with disabilities it would be good to have a more precise description of the entrance.
Breakfast to the room. I noticed that generally in Italy, people don't have so much breakfast. I was hoping for more full corn bread (not just white). At least there were options to choose from. So the breakfast here was better than in other places.

ItalyDespite the grand name, the rooms were more basic than luxurious. The bathroom had mold, and there was dust behind the radiator. The shower had a broken soap container, and the breakfast, served in-room, lacked quality with unpackaged brioches and no provided mineral water. It would have been appreciated to have a water bottle upon arrival, a common amenity in other accommodations. The discrepancy between the name and the actual room quality is notable and important for potential guests to be aware of. Despite the name "Vatican Grand Suites," it's crucial to note that the accommodations are more in line with a standard and basic B&B. The rooms, lacking the expected suite-like amenities, are indeed very basic. This discrepancy between the name and the actual offerings is an important consideration for potential guests seeking a more elaborate experience.
I stayed at Vatican Grand Suites and found it conveniently close to St. Peter's Square, just a 15-minute walk away. On a positive note, communication was prompt, and late-night check-in via codes was convenient. Prices are relatively cheap compared to other nearby hotels, we reserved our room via Booking.

BelgiumNothing.
The hotel is quite close to the Vatican (10min walk) and close to various good Italian restaurants and bakeries/gelaterias. It is also situated in one of the better neighborhood's in Rome where you can walk safely with your family till late in the evening. The room was clean and just big enough for a 4 person family. When we had to leave a bit earlier then normal, we asked if we could get the breakfast earlier and this was ok with them. They provided us with croissants/crackers and drinks so we could take them with us and have breakfast on our way to the Colosseum. The owner and staff are very helpful and can always be reached via the phone.

TurkeyBoth the apartment and flat entrance is 2 wing doors, and it is very narrow to pass through. There was a smell in the hall of the apartment also. These are not the big deals though.
The room was good and met our expectations. Breakfast was served at room, and location is awesome. It is located in a secure and silent boulevard compared to other locations in Rome.

LatviaThe shower rarely had hot water and even if it did apear then it was fluctuating between hot and cold every 10 seconds. The breakfast was ok, but nothing special (the quality of the croissants changed from day to day).
The location is great - walking distance to the major sights and a lot of less touristy restaurants in the area. Room is comfortable and has everything you need. Very good value for money.

KuwaitWhen we arrived to the property there was nobody to open the door. Someone said something on the intercom and then disappeared. We were on the street with our carry-ons for quite a while trying to decide what to do. After some time, a young man (friend of the owner) came and following instructions from the owner on his phone, he opened the door and gave us access to the room. It was a stressful situation that could have been avoided with some organization.
Overall the room was very well decorated, top quality bathroom and bed. Coffee maker machine, TV, hair dryer and so on. Room overlooking to the street. Quiet.

United StatesThe room and the bathroom are a little small by American standards.
Simple breakfast croissant was provided daily. Despite my own mistakes in providing the wrong times/dates on the breakfast ordering sheet, the host was very friendly and quickly adjusted to help us out and always with a smile. Good location - I liked being away from the crowds, yet close to a church and a metro station to get where we needed to be. I also liked the two separate twin beds for the kids.

Overall, worth the price! It’s not a hotel, more of a b&b. Pretty good location. The staff was friendly and room was quite comfortable. The checkin and checkout time were flexible. The breakfast does not have a large variety of food to choose but it’s fine.
