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.).

We hit the jackpot with this place! The host was an absolute gem — even before we arrived, she guided us on parking and when we got there, she gave us a mini city guide with insider tips. The room? Gorgeous and spotless, with a romantic vibe, perfect for couples. Location couldn’t be better: great food, subway, and sights just around the corner. Everything was perfect, even the cleaning staff was lovely. 10/10 would move in if we could!

SwedenThe toilet seat can be fixed but in general the room was in an excellent condition. We were very pleased with everything.
Nice area, for families. Walking distance to Colloseum (about 15 min.) and close to the central train station by the metro. There are many restaurants in the area as well as cafés. The building where the room was, was old but very well-preserved and with a beautiful garden inside. The room was very clean and it smelt so nice! It was as shown in the pictures and nicely renovated. The host, Camilla, was a very kind-hearted person and and gave us some basic information. We also got a surprise of a heart-warming card and some sweets for our daughter for Easter in the room.

LatviaI can't say that there was something that we didn't like as all was very good! If something needs to be mentioned, then only(!) there are some our personal preferences that it takes a bit time in the shower before the how water comes and it would be nice to have an iron available in the room(or a shared one). But both these points are very personal and are not really applicable to everyone.
We enjoyed the place very much. It was a pleasure to meet Camilla and have a chat! We were delighted to hear a beautiful story about the place. This brings a special touch and makes this place special! We liked the room very much (we stayed in room named Camilla)! The bed was comfortable, the pillow also was comfortable and you can feel well rested in the morning. Also, a nice touch is the garden where apartment is located. It is quite and peaceful place. The location of the apartments is perfect! It is walkable to Coliseum and other beautiful places. There are bunch of places near by to get a coffee and buy groceries (mostly small markets as we understood). Metro (closest is San Giovanni) and bus stations (closest is La Spezia/Monza) are very close which is perfect. You can go to main station Termini by using metro line A and/or go to Coliseum (or that direction) using bus line 81/85 (that we used). Camilla gave a good instructions where to go, what to see, where to eat. If you need any help, she will help you out. If you are looking for a great place to stay, choose La Casa delle Tartarughe! If we ever got to Roma in some time from now on, we will definitely consider staying at Camila's place! Thank You, Camilla, for making our stay at Your family's place wonderful and memorable one for us!

ItalyLa casa delle tartarughe was the perfect place for our trip to Rome. Near San Giovanni in Laterano basilica and metro station. About 10 min from Termini station. Nice neighborhood with restaurants and bars. The property is located in a historic building, and the owner is really nice and friendly.

United KingdomThe surrounding area lets it down, can be a bit noisy as room was next to the street. But only because I am a light sleeper. (Nothing the owner can do) The sink taps in the bathroom look a great idea but get in the way when trying to wash so not practical. Possible some extra milk for tea etc but you can obviously bring extra yourself. The above is only my opinion and would stay again.
Large room. Clean and tidy. Very welcoming.

Boy O Boy, What a room. Large spacious, neat, high ceilings and very chic with state of the art facilities. The bathroom of our hotel room is as big as our bedroom. I have seldom seen such lavish and modern bathrooms in hotels. I did take some pictures for one of our close friend, who is an interior decorator. The standalone white tub was fitted with Jacuzzi, and the shower area had therapeutic stones set in the floor.

HungaryWe could have made use of some bigger glasses (to drink from) and possibly a knife and some plates while having a sandwich or a quick snack.
We picked the guest house based on its location. It is very close to the city centre both on foot (20 minutes from Colosseo) or by public transport. The area is safe and organised, close to shops and fast food restaurants and a nice park to enjoy nature. The place itself is nicely decorated in a very unique and fine taste just like in a boutique hotel. We especially fancied the wallpaper and the built-in shower. The bed and the cushions were surprisingly comfortable. Last, but not least, the host, Camilla is extremely hospitable, friendly, helpful and we even got a small gift to remind us of our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice spot to stay while enjoying the bustling city of Rome.

SerbiaThe bathroom tiles could do with a little touch up and there was abslt no cosmetics provided. The staff was nowhere to be seen if you needed anything. Despite a do not disturb sign, the maids were in the room although we were leaving the next morning and there was no need to clean since we were in the room only to sleep.
The room is spacious and the bathroom is big enough. The place is close to the metro station, a supermarket and a little mall. The bed was comfy and it was clean. There is an nespresso machine and complimentary pods and kettle. The shower was great and water pressure excellent. There is a little fridge as well.
