How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Street noise at night was something we are not used to but was to be expected in the city.
We only had a quick 2 night stay and we loved the location, facilities were good, the staff were very helpful and breakfast in the square was lovely.

The only thing I personally found a bit uncomfortable was the city noise at night, but that’s entirely due to where I’m coming from, as I’m used to complete silence. Naturally, staying in the heart of the city means more urban sounds, but I’d like to stress that this is not the fault of the accommodation. In fact, the windows were modern and sound-insulated, which certainly helped reduce the noise.
Il Covo BB was perfect, It’s in an excellent location, almost everything is within walking distance. If you don’t feel like walking, the metro is just 4 minutes away, and there are plenty of bus lines nearby as well. With the B&B option, breakfast is served in a bar about a 7-minute walk away, a refreshing stroll. The bar is located on a charming square with a small fountain, and it’s popular with locals, which adds to the authentic atmosphere. The room was fully equipped, it had a safe, a fridge, air conditioning, and a hairdryer. Everything was spotlessly clean, and housekeeping was provided daily. There was absolutely nothing to complain about. Thick curtains ensured the room stayed dark in the morning, which was a nice touch. One thing: there is no lift, for our room we had to go up appr. 15 stairs with the luggage but there was a groundfloor room too.

The heater sound was annoying, but you can turn it off if you want, and the small elevator and shower only fet one person at once, which will be a problem for couples or families
Good location and good price, the room was clean with comfortable bed, the check in and check out process was fast.

On our 4th night there our key for the bedroom snapped while locking the door on our way out. We were able to retrieve the broken part. We called into the reception to show them our problem. It was a different reception on duty. She got us the service key 🔑 and requested €3 to have a new key cut implying it was our misuse that caused the issue. We were shocked to say the least and explained that we had used all the keys as shown with due care. We paid the €3 but it left a very bad taste in our mouth.
Location. We were very impressed with the Receptionist on duty the night we arrived 4/11/2024 she was so welcoming helpful and informative and went out of her way to check if a nearby restaurant was still open and made a reservation for us.

very noisy hallway, you can hear every word coming from hallway shared by one or two other rooms so if you want to go to breakfast at 10am and your neighbour at 8am be sure that they will wake you up.
good location,
