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.).

FranceThe only negative thing about the room is that it's slightly uncomfortable to go out every time to use the shared bathroom. Also, the building is not very easy to access if you're travelling by bike.
The room was really clean and tidy, with a nice view at the church and the city. The shared bathroom was also really clean and big. The location of the flat is great, very close to shops and the city center.

PolandNo fridge (how to survive in a hot country) or a small kitchenette, no chairs on the balcony, nothing to dry towels or swimming costumes.
Everything there is ok, location, room, bathroom- everything is clean. Perfect choice if you explore Cinque Terre or Portofino. Good contact and clear instructions from the owner. Big balcony with great view.

United StatesExtremely difficult physical access: many stairs up and down, tight elevator, and no guidance from the host about alternative outside lift. Layout feels like repurposed school corridor with closed-off cabinet-style rooms. Kitchen setup is awkward: tea kettle must be used on the microwave due to outlet placement, making it hard to use the table. Advertised for 7 people, but setup is not adequate — too few seats, tight space. Shower spills water through the doors. Poor host communication: no instructions for hot water switch, gate exit button, or parking. Observed other guests getting locked in garden due to unclear gate mechanism. Parking unclear and inconvenient; hosts provide vague or contradictory info. Host ignored messages but became responsive only when asking for cash payment for taxes — questionable practice.
Apartment is relatively close to the city center, once you descend the hill. Plenty of space inside, though not efficiently used. Shower works fine (with some caveats). Kitchen includes a refrigerator and one functional knife.

HungaryThe lonely critical point is the very thin wall close to the apartment, you will hear anything, if there is a group or a family. But after midnight useally it was quiet.
Beautiful room. Views on the park and the church. The city center and the train station are very near. Very clean and nice designed.

United StatesUnfortunately that didnt compense the other. Theres only 1 bathroom shared between 3 rooms and each room con have up to 3 guests, soo it can get crowded. Also is to pricey for not having a kitchen, not even a small one just a kettle that sincerly is not enough. There’s no staff, literally no one, is all through the phone wich i found quite inconvenient and a little annoying. I like a little contact with someone, makes your stay more pleasant. They also tried to charge me more for the city tax, but it was a misunderstanding. Read the small things before booking but at least they respond pretty fast and are in the disposition to resolve any issue.
The location is really good, 10 minute walk to the train station perfect for everything, only mind that the trains for Cinque Terre drop to 1 per hour after peak hours. Also walking distance from the Castello San Giorgo wich has an incredible view. For some reason i had the whole room for myself soo it was awesome. Really comfy bed and AC. For the price is way more cheaper than staying in the towns and you will not loose time soo for that is perfect.

NorwaySome of the outside shutters did not work properly. We were six people and we knew there was only one bathroom in the apartement. To us, we would have appriciated another bathroom.
To us, this apartement was spacious and bright. We found the inside elevator really interessting, due to its old design. The kitchen was equipped with what we found necessery. We really liked that the apartement was located near the main street with all shops and restaurants. We loved La Spezia!

It was a nice place to stay, we liked it. It was near the train station and harbour and had an excellent location to get around La Spezia.

ItalyWasnt enough clean
I normally never book a place in booking that has less than 8, but it was late and i was with 3 kids and I had to stay there. In the night i didnt get so good where we are but the day after i was wondering how people rate a place!? the location was perfect, close to center with perfect price. It was a bit dusty and old but in general deserved more than 7 in booking. It doesnt have parking that make it a bit uncomfortable but i think this is general problem of that city. Ps: if i was the owner, i just a but renew it, specially the pavement and ask the girls of the rooms to vlean more under the beds and so on...( then probably the price will be heigher too😉)

DenmarkNot so warmt in the bathroom. We were there in january. No parking place in the front of the building, even though there is parking space. There are many steps from the street to the building, but it could be much easier to park the car in front of the terasse, and put the luggedge there.
Very nice, big appartment with lot of space and light. Perfect place in the city, 10 minuttes from train station to Cinque Terre towns. Better than shown on the pictures on booking.

GermanyNot really complaints but hints: You cannot park immediatly at the house (or only with fees). We dropped our bags of and parked for free at the Piazza d'Armi, approx. 20 mins walking from the appartement. There is only one bathroom (toilet included) that you share with 3 rooms total. But we personally never had Problems with occupied bathroom.
We loved our stay! The price-performance-ratio is incredible (we went in end of October)! You receive the door codes and a lot of other helpful Information upon arrival per message and can enter super easily by self-checkin (Gate is halfway down the stairs). We spontaneously stayed one night longer and simply communicated it by whatsapp and it worked out perfectly. We had an amazing room with huge balcony and a beautiful view on the city. Also the location is great, as you just need to walk down some stairs and you are in a pedestrian zone with various Bars and Restaurants. Approx. 10-15 mins to the trainstation.

Slovakia- the info About self checkin came in italian. i had to contact the owners by whatsapp for the translation so that i can understand it well. but then they responded promptly. thou they never responded to the message About leaving money (for city tax) on the table in the room the day of check out - so i just wonder if they received them. - the walls of the rooms are incredible thin, which means as we were Staying in the monterosso room we could hear every single word of the people accommodated in the bay window (each night they were having párty and we couldnt sleep at all). as the Windows are old (it is an old building) we can hear all the noise from the street. - the bed is not the most comfortable one. - they could provide at least the very little (1x1meter) fridge in the room. it would be very pleasant (just a recco).
it has very good location, 12 minutes walk from the train station which is very pleasant as in Cinque Terre in general the trains are used very often. it is also very close to the main road & city center with loads of bars and restaurants. i liked the view from the room to the Church and the town itself.
