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 StatesRoom was very nice including the bathroom. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was nice to have and choices of food and drinks were very good. I would recommend this hotel. I also like it was on the busy area nearby. Staff was very friendly. They let us drop our luggage there before check-in time.

TurkeyThe water of the shower was very inconsistent, sometimes %50 sometimes %5 coming, sometimes hot sometimes cold, needs to be checked. A pair of slippers wouldn’t be bad in the room.
The hotel and the room was clean, reception was helpful. The location is good (for me), out of crowded places or Venice.

PortugalThe bed was very firm which wasn't particularly comfortable for me. Our shower door had been replaced with a shower curtain. The internet speed was very slow.
Corte Contarina is situated slightly away from the main tourist spots but they are easily accessable by walking or vaporetto. We really enjoyed the local neighbourhood which had some great restaurants. The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly Merina and Mustafa. Both made our stay that much more memorable. The room was lovely and large although the TV size didn't quite match. A good continental breakfast was available each morning. We really enjoyed our stay and if we have the good fortune to return to Venice, we will definitely stay at Corte Contarina.

United KingdomThe shower was not always hot and the pole attaching it to the wall was falling off so it was not always easy to have a shower. The heating was also somewhat sporadic through the air con unit. Breakfast was reasonable but pretty basic with cold meats and cheese, yoghurt and cereals. The marmalade croissants were often rather stale and were not very fresh.
We were offered a couple of rooms with twin beds and chose a large one with a big king and a single bed as well as a sofa. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is just off the main street in Castello and close for the biennale. There is a supermarket next door and a range of restaurants and bars of mixed quality. It is very quiet as it overlooks a small courtyard. The bathroom was spacious.

SpainUnfortunately, the room did not have air conditioning, which was quite uncomfortable with the high temperatures. The staff explained that this issue was due to a general electricity malfunction on the property, but they did provide a fan upon request to help alleviate the heat. Additionally, the bathroom was quite small; even for someone petite like me, the shower felt rather cramped.
The breakfast was delightful, featuring freshly baked bread and coffee, tea, juices, and yogurt. The staff were attentive and friendly, providing valuable assistance throughout our stay. The accommodation was in a very safe and quiet neighborhood, well connected to the public transportation system and at a walkable distance to the main islands and attractions. Overall, great value for money.

IsraelUnfortunately this place requires renovations and cleaning! In the bathroom almost everything was broken. Shower cabine is covered by limescale and looks not hygienic. The conditioner is very-very old and doesn’t cope with the task: makes a lot of noise but no cooling. In temperatures 35C the sleeping was impossible. Very dusty in the room - all textiles (and there are a lot of textiles) required cleaning. A lot of excess furniture (3 big armchairs covered with some old textiles - why?) in the room makes it feels smaller than it actually is. So it was all disappointing because the potential of this place is really great! Hope the staff fix it up!
Location was good. The building is full of history and it is really nice to feel the atmosphere of Venice. The wood furniture is nice and authentic. Windows and light in the room.

GermanyBreakfast is very simple, with a basic selection of bread, cheese and cold meat, along with muesli and yoghurt. Would be nice to add fruit and eggs for more variety. The bathroom was a bit dated and could use some repairs - broken sliding door on the shower replaced by a shower curtain, for example. Wifi was quite slow, especially upload speed is poor. There are guest rooms which open directly from the breakfast salon, thankfully we didn't have one of those rooms, would have been unhappy.
Quiet location close to a park, main street with shops and restaurants nearby, easy to reach central area on foot and other areas by vaporetto. Staff were friendly. Room was spacious.
