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 KingdomAlbergo Garisenda is much better than it's two stars represent, as it is a gem, perfectly located in the centre of Bologna. The rooms are lovely and clean, with excellent air conditioning. We have recommended this hotel to our friends and family. It is our recommendation to you. The staff and owners are also excellent, as they were able to recommend certain places to see which were a little different from the standard text of guide books.

Location is perfect, in the center of town and the view from the balcony is worth everything. The room was clean and perfectly met my expectations. I was offered a morning coffee and a croissant which saved my day :) Friendly and helpful hosts. Definitely I will return.

United KingdomI liked everything.
The hotel's location was ideal. I chose to visit Bologna as part of my Interrail tour of Europe specifically to see the famous two towers, and the hotel was right next to them. I could see them from the window of my room. The terrace had an even better view of them. My room was large and my bed was comfortable and, as it was very hot when I stayed, the air conditioning was very welcome and effective. The shower was powerful too. The managers were both extremely helpful - providing me with a plug adaptor for my British plug and printing railway tickets and letting me have bottles of cold water. Also advising me what to see in Bologna during my stay.

AustraliaThe mattress on my bed was too hard for my liking, however it was brand new and the room was lovely. I told them it was too hard for me and when I came back that afternoon they had added a mattress topper which definitely helped.
A beautiful hotel in the perfect location in Bologna. The staff are friendly, helpful and genuinely lovely people.

GreeceThe fact I didn't find it earlier. There's not a single thing we didn't like .
Amazing location just 5 minutes from Piazza Majore. Elevator to the 3rd floor. The owners were so friendly and helpful. They gave us info , maps , suggestions on what to see and where to eat . Those people are rightfully proud of their hotel. The terrace with the view to the two towers is breathtaking. The room was beautiful. The mattress perfect and the bed sheets crispy clean . They also offered us complimentary breakfast on the terrace. The decorations were beautiful vintage.

PolandWe had a very simple room with a washbasin and a shared bathroom outside in the corridor. Everything clean and nice. The place is pretty and well maintained in general, just our room was a bit drab, but it was the last one available and not too expensive. The place is very conveniently placed in the historical centre. The most important thing is the super nice and firiendly staff, ready to help with everything <3 We felt like family. There's a nice terrace with a view on the towers, to have a small breakfast offered at the place. We would love to visit again!

I went alone and I liked my single room because it was spacious. The owner is really nice and the price for city center was really good. Next time I am going to Bologna I will book here again, hoping that the price is good again.

GreeceWe got an out-of-date room, even though they had refurbished ones. The noise from the street lasted until 5 a.m. New double-window glasses can block this.
First, I would like to thank the property owners for their kind hospitality. They offered us coffee and a light breakfast on the wonderful terrace, even though we had not paid for that. The location is perfect, right in the center of Bolo.
