How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThis place was very dirty. The first night we were there we were in a tiny room completely different from the photos. After that we had staff walk into our room unannounced.

We had the worst experience in an apartment ever, and I don't believe this should be listed on Booking as a room. The apartment fails to meet basic health and safety standards: - The bedroom was filthy, and we ended up covered in bed bug bites. There was no fridge, contrary to what was advertised. No Wifi available. - The bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a decade, with spiders being the least of the issues. - The location is hard to find, and it's not accessible by car. Depending on where you park, you either have to go down or climb many stairs. - The host is an elderly woman who doesn't speak English. Although she is kind, managing a accommodation service seems not to be a possible thing. Additionally, the customer service for the apartment was unresponsive to our inquiries and complaints. They aren't even located in Italy, making communication extremely difficult, if not impossible. Please, be careful what place you book...

Verified reviewGood location. Mara was friendly and let us leave bags early but did not speak any English so was hard to communicate.
No fan in room or air con in room. The only air con was outside the door so door had to be left opened which didn’t feel particularly safe but was too hot to sleep without. Underneath the beds was so dirty. Mara also accidentally woke us up early in the morning as she thought we had left. Not worth the money. Stay somewhere with aircon

Verified reviewLocation was good
Everything was dirty. Our sheets had blood stains on them. No aircon or fan in the room. Only way to get aircon into the room was too leave the door wide open and have no privacy. Bathroom was filthy with spiders, dust. The whole place needs a good clean. Also very hard to find the place. The host did not speak any English but was trying to be helpful just hard to understand.
