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 KingdomWe knew the property would be rustic and it is as the photos but it is quite tired looking in need of a refresh. We were glad of the air conditioning - All 3 units were running when we arrived and the apartment was cool but running more than 2 of the 3 at once will trip the electrics so beware. Had this been explained it would have prevented an issue with the wifi loss of service as a result of tripped electrics. It was sorted but hassle we didn’t need on arrival.
Fabulous location. Lots of lovely restaurants close by. Great location for Vatican and also for Metro to other areas Beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water. Good to have the terrace although extreme hot temperatures limited its use to morning and evening. We appreciated being able to leave our bags on day of departure.

CroatiaThe apartment is in a great location, right next to the Vatican. It has everything you need for the 3 nights we stayed. There are many nice restaurants and souvenir shops in the street in front. The only time we went to throw away the trash, the container was a little further away. We recommend it for families with older children because it is high up (3rd floor) and without an elevator.

United KingdomLoved everything about the property - the only issue may be for those with reduced mobility, as there are three flights of stairs to get to the apartment, which is situated on the top floor…. But if mobility isn't an issue - I can't think of anything negative to say.
The property is clean, comfortable and has all the amenities you could wish for. Both bedrooms have comfortable king sized beds, and are spacious. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge comfortable. There is also the added bonus of an outside terrace with a table and chairs. The location of the apartment is great - very close to St Peters Basilica and very close to the metro station. The street below has an array of restaurants and bars which serve great food! The owners are extremely helpful and friendly and are at hand should you need anything. They arranged airport transfers at a very competitive cost which was so helpful. We stayed here during the month of February and it was a bit chilly outside - but the apartment was lovely and warm with the central heating - so no problems there! I have stayed at several apartments on this road over the past few years, and this one is excellent!

PolandWi-Fi was not working and the air conditioner in one room was not working. The landlord gave me the wrong key to open the door to the street and didn’t believe me-that I had an issue. I’ve lost the first night in Rome due to this issue because I couldn’t go outside, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to enter the building. The issue was only solved in the next day in the morning
