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.).

KazakhstanUnfortunately, we had rooms very far away and one of them had a view on the wall of the other building, also the hotel sadly doesn't read the comments that we have wrote, which led to some complications.
It was a great stay, one of the rooms had a great view and it really elevated our stay. Also, the location is great near the boat station and grand canal bridge. We had some complications with rooms being very far from each other and very nice lady Adelina helped us as much as she could.

United StatesThe front desk staff seemed to be inconsistent in friendliness and helpfulness. For a hotel at this price and the room as nice as it was, a simple tea kettle, instant coffee and tea would generally be expected. Also robes would really go a long way to add comfort to the stay.
The room was beautiful and really gave us a "Venetian" feel. We had one of the rooms with the terrace and really enjoyed sitting outside a bit. We like the ability to make the room very dark by closing the shutters. We loved being on the roof top terrace our first night and watching the gondola's and gorgeous water taxi's. Sadly we could not use it thereafter because the awning had come down and was not fixed during our stay. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices. Beautiful little waterfront room to enjoy breakfast in.

United KingdomThe bathroom had massive problems. The bath leaked! The shower leaked! There was also a leak in the sink (a puddle in the draw under it). The bathroom mirror light didn't work. Apart from that it was huge & clean. The music system didn't work. A few stains on the lamps & the ceiling. They could definitely put a kettle into this room (take a portable kettle) as a morning coffee on this gorgeous balcony is priceless. There was no mini bar & no hotel bar. We bought wine & beer from supermarket & drank on balcony 🥰 we didn't complain, as we didn't want to move rooms, as this was the only room with this view.
Breakfast was minimal, but adequate. Buffet style, everything topped up regularly. Staff were very friendly. Room was tidy & huge, we had the suite with a balcony. That was the best thing about this hotel, location & the best view in the city !!!

United KingdomSee above - The building is old and it sits directly on the very busy Canal, anyone booking should take this into consideration.
We were return visitors to the Foscari Palace having enjoyed a stay in 2022. Our expectations were based on our previous experience and the price that we secured for our rooms last week. The hotel building dates back to the 1500s and that should be considered by anyone planning a trip..... it is typical of the area. We arrived at the Foscari in the evening from the train station and were met with a friendly welcome back, prompt check in and our rooms on the 3rd floor were ready for us. Our rooms were clean and of a good size with partial canal views which was nice. Beds were enormous and arranged with crisp, fresh linens. Bathrooms were well equipped and hotel addressed a hot water challenge promptly and successfully. Breakfast is plentiful and typical of hotels of this standard with hot options and continental choices. Service was good on the mornings that we had breakfast. The location of this hotel brought us back.... it is located on Campo S Sofia, adjacent to the Ca D'Oro ATV stop. The hotel sits on the Grand Canal and has magnificent views across to the Rialto Market and along the canal in both directions. The views from the newly restored roof terrace are stunning, particularly in the evening when the buildings are all lit up. Its location is very handy for exploring Cannaregio and it is easy to get about the wider city using the #1 water bus service from the Ca D'Oro stop which is just around the corner. The hotel reception arranged our water taxi back to the airport for us and provided helpful information regarding purchase of tickets etc. Would have no hesitation in returning to the Foscari.
