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.).

There is no elevator; the apartment is on the first floor. Secondly, the historical district makes it hard to (un)load or park a vehicle nearby. I parked the car in the central station garage (for 45 euros for 26 hours).
It's a lovely, small but well-organized room. Marina has been a very helpful and supportive host.

I wish there had been a better view from the window, and an elevator would have been helpful — especially with luggage. But since the room was on the first floor, it wasn’t a big issue.
We loved the location — very close to both the train station and the city center, which made it perfect for our trip to Cinque Terre. We mainly stayed there to sleep, and it was incredibly convenient. Marina, the host, was absolutely lovely. She waited for us, warmly welcomed us, and took the time to show us everything in the room. She also kindly provided coffee, tea, juice, bottled water, and snacks — such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. We were even able to leave our luggage there after check-out and pick it up later in the afternoon, which was really helpful.

Only had one problem with the tap at the sink bowl which we must be careful anytime using otherwise we might get wet from the splashing water.
The host was very nice. She was friendly and promptly response for any queries. The room was more than our expectation. Not far from the train station. Large and well-equipped. Highly recommend for anyone who will stay in La Spezia.

The location was perfect. Just 5 mins walk from La spezia station. And a perfect base for Cinque terre day tour. Our host Marina was really helpful and kind. She guided us well and treated us with juice and baked goodies. The property decor is nautical themed which is really attractive.

Pillows were a bit high. This is a personal choice, so maybe a different set of pillows could be available.
Location as very good, very close to the train station and city centre. In 5 min we could get the train to CinqueTerra.
