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 reviewBarbara was extremely helpful during my stay. My arrival was earlier than expected, and she assisted me with check-in before the scheduled time. You can enjoy breakfast on a lovely terrace! You feel like you are home with her!

Verified reviewAwesome host, great breakfast, good location for use of public transport. The room was large enough for the two of us, and it had a private bathroom as well, all very clean. Staying at La Terrazza di Barbara made our trip better for it.
This is not a fault of this specific host, but houses in Italy are in general less insulated than in scandinavia where i come from and am used to, and thus you can sometimes hear if someone yells loudly outside on the street at night. If you are easily woken up by such noises, bring earplugs or turn on the AC on low or medium-low, it will drown out the sound. I turned on the AC on low, and slept wonderfully.

Verified reviewBarbara was very friendly and hospitable. The breakfast was good and especially lovely to sit on the terrace in the mornings. The room is spacious enough for 2 people and had all the necessary amenities.
It is a shared apartment with other rooms going to other guests - not as private as we thought, but probably didn’t read the description close enough and we still really enjoyed our stay. There was a bar on the block which was quite noisy in the evenings, so it was a little difficult to sleep, but not much Barbara can do about that and it did contribute nicely to the Milan feeling!

Verified reviewBreakfast on the terrace was a treat, a delightful setting and much more substantial than I expected. Freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit, yoghurt, a different toasted savoury every day and then a tart or little cake, with either tea or coffee.
Nothing. It was a very comfortable single room with a spacious en suite. There was a small kitchen area with kettle, microwave and fridge for guests use. It felt very safe for an older lady and a solo traveller. Barbara is such a kind and welcoming lady and was so very helpful. The location is good with easy access to both the metro (Susa station) and the bus (5) for getting into Milan. There are nearby restaurants and there is a lift to the 4th floor. Can’t praise it highly enough.

Verified reviewBarbara was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and comfortable. She was incredibly attentive, always checking in to make sure everything was perfect. The apartment itself was cozy and well-equipped. The location was also ideal, just a short trip to the city center. We especially enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace. It was the perfect way to start the day. The breakfast itself was delicious. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Verified reviewWe stayed for only two nights, but it was definitely a very cozy experience, beating even the most expensive hotel anywhere. Barbara is definitely the best host you want to find. If I could only give a higher rating than 10, then I would definitely rate this place higher than that. Barbara will let you feel like you are part of the house and prepare food with heart. We will definitely choose this place when we come back to Milan. Thanks Barbara for the great stay. The warm smile, greetings and accomodation makes our stay the best stay in Italy.
Nothing as in Nothing
Thank you so much for the compliments. Your friend and you are wonderful, polite and very friendly guests. I really hope to see you again

Verified reviewBarbara is extremely welcoming and my room ("Duomo") was very clean and comfortable. This is a lovely stay. The neighborhood feels very local but it is so easy to get in and out of the city hot spots on public transit from Barbara's. Barbara prepared breakfast each morning and made some suggestions about things to do and places to eat. The room has a housekeeping list, as well as local recommendations.
I wish this stay had been 15€ less each night, but that is all! It's a wonderful accommodation and I would recommend it to anyone I know visiting Milan.
