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.).

AustraliaThere was nothing negative to say about this property.
Esmeralda was a wonderful host who thought of everything. This was the best accommodation we stayed in our whole trip. It was very clean, with great air conditioning and quality linen. The bathrooms and showers were the best we’ve had all holiday. The terrace area was perfect of a night time. A 5 minute walk to the station and 15-20minute walk to the ferry area, a supermarket just a 20 second walk, it was well placed for everything we needed.

United StatesWe had a wonderful stay at Casa Esmeralda! She was there to greet us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the property. It was very clean and lovely modern decor. The wifi and A/c worked great! The location is very convenient for trips to Cinque Terre. The train station is a 5 minute walk away. Esmeralda communicated with WhatsApp throughout the stay and was so nice to provide great recommendations for both Spezia and Cinque Terre restaurants. She left very nice little gifts for our kids at checkout and the entire stay was fantastic! Thank you!

BrazilThe inner part of the neighborhood doesn't seem very safe on some streets (we tried walking to some restaurants and didn't feel very comfortable). But walking along the avenue by the train station is busier and seems to be better for tourists.
Everything was wonderful! Esmeralda is a wonderful hostess, she welcomed us very well, always paying attention to every detail and doing her best to make our experience the best possible. The space was super clean, very comfortable and exactly as described. Super close to the train station so you can go to Cinqueterre. I highly recommend it!

EVERYTHING!!!!!!! Was perfect. If you want to travel around Cinque Terre, search no more. This house is simply the very best. Perfect location near the train station and many parking plots around. And the house… super clean and comfy. Newly renovated and nice structure. The host is an angel so she provided us the utmost service ever. There are not so many hosts who can really move you deep and she was one of them. I can’t describe enough how good it was. My wife and sons really didn’t want to leave this house after three nights which felt like a second.

NetherlandsThe boiler for shower is not very large, not sufficient for 2 persons to take showers one after another. So one of us ended up showring in cold
Very clean and spacious apartment with stylish decorations, exactly the same as the pictures! Also great location just next to the train station. The host was very friendly and sent us a lot of tips for Cinque Terre, where to visit and where to eat etc. The checkout time was 10:00 but she kindly offered us to stay longer.

United StatesNO complaints!!
It's an entire luxury apartment. It's spacious. The AC works excellently. The location, by the train station, was so perfect for all our outings and exploring. It was very quiet. We slept without ear plugs. The curtains were great to keep out the light and let us sleep as long as we would like. It was so clean! It felt new. The shower was so large. We appreciated the rain shower head and shower wand too. There were snacks, and bottles of water included. Esmeralda communicated easily and quickly. I never worried about contacting her for anything. She graciously allowed us to check in very early as we were leaving another accommodation that the AC did NOT work and we had gotten little sleep the night before. Esmeralda sent many wonderful recommendations which were so helpful and appreciated. The apartment LOOKED like the pictures! It's just as we hoped it would be! Also, there's a beautiful back patio you can sit in. The entrance is also very nice. To note: just as other cities in Italy, La Spezia has a tax/fee for staying there that is paid in Euros/cash upon arrival. Also expect them to need pictures of your passports and it'll be helpful to have the WhatsApp app.

United StatesParking is a challenge, but we found a spot close by and stayed in that spot the whole time. It was a short walk to the train station, so we didn't need to drive much.
Esmeralda was incredible. She was very responsive and helpful. Although none of us spoke Italian, Esmeralda was very proficient with a translation app and our communication was seamless. She sent us numerous links to help us find good restaurants. I was concerned about the proximity of the property to the train tracks. She assured us you could hardly hear anything when you were in the rooms. We trusted her and she was absolutely right! Would definitely stay again.

United StatesI recently stayed at Casa Esmeralda in La Spezia and had a wonderful experience. The apartment was impeccably clean and well-maintained, making for a very comfortable stay. Its location is incredibly convenient, being just a short walk from the train station, which made exploring the surrounding areas a breeze. Esmeralda, the host, was exceptionally kind and welcoming. She went out of her way to ensure that I had everything I needed and provided great recommendations for local attractions and dining options. While the area is generally safe, it can feel a bit less lively at night. However, I never felt unsafe and found that taking standard precautions was more than sufficient. A tip for fellow travelers: make sure to visit Spezialità, Focacceria Bistrò. Their focaccia is absolutely delicious and a must-try when you're in La Spezia. Overall, I highly recommend Casa Esmeralda for anyone visiting La Spezia. It's a great base for exploring the region, and Esmeralda's hospitality truly makes it a standout choice.
