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.).

Hong KongRoom is more expensive than expected, due to the popularity of this area.
Rare found with car parking available inside the property. Host has been responsive and helpful with our booking and restaurant recommendation. We arrived on the storm day but felt very safe inside the property. Could be a better stay if we have nice weather.

HungaryLa Serra sul Mare is the perfect choice if you want to feel at home while visiting Cinque Terre. We started the day with an amazing breakfast (yes, the reviews are true, it is exceptional!), admiring the beautiful view from the terrace. Then we went to the city centre with the transfer (very practical, scheduled times to and from the city), and discovered the region (thanks for the useful tips), and ended the day with chilling on our own terrace. The owners are very-very nice, they do everything to make your holiday perfect. The apartment is very comfortable, there is even a fridge full of drinks to cool you off after a long day full of adventures. The parking place in front of the house is a huge bonus, not many places offer this. I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone who would like to have a great time in Cinque Terre.

ItalyThe breakfast, while delicious and abundant, is a fixed menu, meaning that you get whatever they are cooking that day. It's to be expected given the location deep in the nature, but nothing has been done to reduce access to the rooms by bugs...
A cozy little place just above Monterosso. The view is amazing, the rooms are quite large - ours came with a great balcony with view on the sea! - and the staff is incredibly kind and available, even offering a free shuttle service to and from Monterosso! The breakfast is generous and delicious.

United StatesTruly can’t think of anything!
Oh, where to start!! La Serre Sul Mare was absolutely delightful in so many ways—from the beautiful location up the hill in Monterosso with stunning views of the sea and the terraced hillsides; to gorgeous grounds with colorful flowers, bushes, lemon trees, oh my! Sabrina, Francesca and Fanny were so kind and helpful with any and all questions and needs. And finally, breakfast—each morning we were served a different 3-4 course breakfast fit for a queen! Don’t let the fact that it is up a hill deter you—they offer shuttle service to the Old Town, but we made the walk several times!
