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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

AustraliaWe absolutely loved Hotel Solara! The location is perfect, so close to the beach and many great restaurants. The room was very clean and comfortable and we loved the little balcony. However the best thing about Hotel Solara is the staff. They are so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Especially Barbara. She gave us so many great recommendations and tips, and we were also able to check in early. We wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in Nice!

AustraliaVery friendly tiny hotel in a pedestrian-only street which was very busy and full of cafes. Room was small and adequate but it had a delightful terrace with chairs and table which overlooked the surrounding streets. Staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful - even providing a plate, wine glass and cutlery for when I preferred to have a meal on the terrace.

United KingdomNothing! Don’t expect very quiet surroundings as there are restaurants within the building and lots of music and sounds of people having fun.
Everything- especially the location! The building is old and very charming. The rooms are well equipped with a refrigerator and air conditioning - so welcome in the Nice hot summer. We have stayed here a few times over the years . The standard of cleanliness is excellent. The staff are so helpful. What more could you want?!

FinlandNoisy surroundings especially on Saturday, when some music was playing close by until very late (2 am or something). Very warm building + elevator ride.
Practical room with great central location, with beautiful balcony where to eat the nice breakfast which was brought to the room at the time of your choosing. Close to the beach for evening swim.

United StatesI found the pillows on the bed to be very firm--too firm! Also, the toilet ran a bit--the flush mechanism just needs to be better attached.
The location, one block from the beach, in the middle of everything, is truly exceptional. My hotel window looked out until the beautiful Niçois architecture, and people strolling the pedestrian area. The hotel actually begins on the 4th floor of the building, which I've never experienced before. You do have to be ok with the extremely narrow elevator to the 4th floor, but as long as you are ok with that, you almost feel like a local in a little hideaway. The rooms have a simple elegance are well air conditioned. Hotel Solara is really a gem and I had a wonderful time exploring beaches and city. The hotel staff were extremely polite, friendly, and attentive.

Restuarants & cafes right on your doorstep. Excellent air con made for a comfortable stay. Location perfect approx 10min from train station & very easy walk into all areas of Nice . Very cosy lift available - 1 person 1 Bag but worked well. Stairs used when no luggage in tow. Highly recommend booking this hotel.

Wonderful location! Great restaurants and shops just steps away. Delightful staff, they were helpful and welcoming. Secure and safe, we really appreciated the security measures even though Nice is pretty safe. Immaculate! It was great to return to our rooms on a hot day to find them spotless and freshened up.

The hotel is only a 5 minute walk from Blue Beach and Promenade des Anglais, and about a 15 minute walk to the Old Town, a 15 minute walk to the train, and a 7 minute walk to the tram. There are tons of restaurants right on the same street as the hotel, as well as cafes and ice cream shops. There’s shopping right in the area also. The staff is wonderful, including Galina, her sister, and Jean Louie. They’re all very helpful and nice. The room was modern, and clean, with good air conditioning, a small balcony ( I understand that there are different sizes), a small fridge, and my bed was very comfortable. A very nice continental breakfast is available for a small fee. I would definitely stay here again! It’s also a very safe area.

United KingdomThe room might be a bit too small for a longer stay, but the location and the balcony make up for it. The hotel has only one iron shared among approximately four rooms, so you’ll need to request it. The shower is very small and doesn’t include body lotion, shampoo, or body wash. We were given four single-use shampoo & body wash testers for a two-night stay, so you may want to bring your own toiletries. Also, the building has a tiny elevator that fits either two people or one person with luggage. The hotel is located on the fourth floor, so be prepared to get some steps in.
Perfect location — just two streets from the sea and right next to Place Massena and all the shops. Lovely restaurants and a boulangerie nearby. Amazing balcony with a nice local view. Very friendly and helpful staff, they even accommodated our earlier check in. Clean room, and it even has a fridge to chill your breakfast Prosecco:)
