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.).

Verified reviewNothing went well. The owner/manager was completely disinterested. Booking.com have also been a nightmare and have proven to be impossible to contact regarding complaints. I paid over £300 for a canal view quadruple room. I got a second floor flat, in a separate annex from my travel companion. The top bunk was unsuitable for my child as had no handrail and was on a slant. The room was dirty and smelled of cigarette smoke. The manager told me to go to the police when I complained. His answer to everything. For the love of God, please please avoid this hotel. Sadly I can't upload photo's.

Verified reviewThe location was on the canal which was nice for a good view.
There was a horrible odour in the reception and the rooms also the towels, curtains and blankets stunk. We got there at midnight and had to wait 15 minutes to find our room because the worker didn’t know where it was. Also on the booking it included parking and free wifi but when we asked the guy he said there was no wifi, However when I read the reviews of the hotel people said they did have free wifi. Also we were surprised when we realised there was no parking which led to us having to park 20 mins away and had to take a ferry. Also when we called reception beforehand the worker refused to send us an email or message of where the closest parking is. Also be aware there is no parking in Venice even though this hotel says there is. There aircon wasn’t working and the guy acted dumb and said it was working.It was a sleep less night because of how hot and stuffy the room was, our only other option was to open the windows which led to a lot of bugs. The floor was disgusting as if it wasn’t even cleaned and in the shower be aware because the water gets EVERYWHERE. I found a type of bug on the pillow that was like a worm and the mattresses were very stiff.

Very moldy and dingy. The toilet seat wasn’t attached when I got there. The shower was tiny and the shower curtain was dirty. No room to walk around the beds. A/c cannot be adjusted beyond 26 degrees Celsius. Staff not responsive to messages.

Verified reviewThere's nothing to like, this isn't a hotel. Have to shut down and stop robbing people. Ruined the first experience in Venice!
Disgusting, stinky, dirtiest place. I was sick every time I walked in. We had to go out to coffee shops to use toilet. We were telling off our 5 years old daughter every time she touched something in this place, and we were all stressed, not resting at all. The room wasn't anything like the one we booked. WE FELT ROBBED AND CHEATED, WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!

Verified reviewNothing. It was terrible.
Russian is below. Staying in this hotel means a ruined vacation. Believe the reviews – don’t believe the photos. They were taken about 20 years ago and are no longer relevant. Fraudsters. Complete scam. And even if the rooms from the photos still exist, you won’t be accommodated in them. First of all, the hotel is difficult to get to, it’s far from the center. Suitable only for those who want complete isolation. The rooms where I and other guests were placed are located separately from the reception – we were led out and taken to another building. And that’s where the nightmare began. It’s a mold-infested maze of corridors, stairs, and rooms, covered with dirty moldy carpets. Mold is everywhere, especially in the corners. I can’t mistake it for anything else – I have allergies. Without medication, you can suffocate there. An employee came in and suggested turning on the air conditioner. That seemed strange to me. I soon realized why: he came with the remote, then left with it. The air conditioner didn’t work for even a minute. As soon as we left the room and closed the door, the air conditioner stopped working too. There’s a fan, and at first I wondered why if you have air cond – then I understood. It’s completely covered in dust, or maybe mold – it’s hard to tell. Impossible to use: once turned on, it would blow dust and spores, and there isn’t even a socket for it, because the only outlet is near the bathroom, already taken by the phone charger. No outlets near the bed at all. The furniture is old and damaged. The floor poorly cleaned, with bits of trash stuck in the carpet. Wi-Fi doesn’t exist, and the TV doesn’t work because of that, though oddly enough there are two remote controls in the room. Only one lightbulb works, so the room is very dark. There are no mosquito nets. If you open the windows, mosquitoes come flying in. So we spent the night with the windows shut, suffocating. The windows face some other buildings.

Verified reviewVery close to the city center.
Well it was small and the reviews were generally pretty bad and that made me very skeptical, however due to me being very skeptical it exceeded my expectations to a great extend.

Very small room. Floor only carpet and rugs, didn’t feel clean to walk without shoes. The staff kinda rude. The air conditioning doesn’t work in the room, you need to ask reception first and its the same temperature for everyone you can’t change it. We went to ask at night for air conditioning and the staff just told us to leave and ask in the morning when we got there at 7 pm?

Verified reviewThe staff were lovely and they let us store our heavy bags there for free during our final day after checking out!
The room was a lot smaller than the pictures and it was extremely dusty and the carpets were stained. When we pulled up the top sheet the bed was very dirty and also the room door was very stiff and hard to open and close. It is also located quite far out from the main attractions and from the train station to the accommodation we ended up having to pay nearly €10 each on the ferry’s which didn’t feel worth it.
