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.).

United StatesThe rooms are newly renovated, big and clean. Fabio and Paola are great hosts, they are funny, warm and welcoming. Fabio has great recommendations for what to do in Portovenere and for day trips. They're always available if there's any issues and Fabio has a wealth of funny stories. There's a coffee machine with tea, coffee and hot chocolate capsules and complementary snacks and candy. Shower water pressure is very good, bed is comfortable and there's daily housekeeping. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and a supermarket with very polite pleasant employees are just few minutes walk from the apartment. Highly recommend staying in Portovenere and Oblo as a base to explore cinque terre.

LebanonThe fact that we could not enter the room before 13:30 and needed to leave the room before 10:30 the next day: (so the staff could clean the 4 rooms ). Hardly your standard expectation. No breakfast at the property, No place to keep your luggage at the property, which I think would have been great, We had to go to another location in town to leave our suitcases: but you had to pick them up before 4:30 pm: We were travelling by the only means of public transport at 7pm and had to drag our suitcases around town till then: Not easy or enjoyable!
Fabio was a generous and good host, offering advice about where to go and what to do

GermanyIt can be very hard to find if you rely only on Google maps, although fortunately Fabio will help you find your way via photos on Whatsapp. There is no air conditioning (but a decent and quiet ceiling fan above the bed), however if you decide to sleep with the windows open, you will hear the nightlife outside until after midnight.
Fabio is a very friendly and hospitable host. The apartment is tucked away in one of the many small alleys in the town, with a view of the main shopping and restaurant alley. Room is clean, modern and spacious.

NetherlandsIt was a little pricey.
It is a beautiful and modern room with a very comfortable bed. In Portovenere there are many steps to climb, but for this property it was relatively easy. It was nice not to have to climb stairs inside the property either. The host was very kind and informative. The property is really quite lovely.
