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.).

United KingdomI think the Palazzo space & garden could be better utilised. A dedicated member of staff & offer, and also better lighting in the evenings.
I enjoyed the authenticy of the hotel, it's location and convenience for the Vatican. I had minimal interactions with the staff, however all were polite and accessible. The breakfast selection was general & simlar to most experiences I've had with B&B provision.

United StatesMichela, was at the Front Desk when I arrived for check-in at almost 9 pm and hungry. She was so friendly and so sweet; she called a good restaurant nearby, that was still open, to reserve a table for me. It was indeed a good restaurant, where locals go. The location of the hotel is the best! Room is perfect, in terms of size and cleanliness. Despite located in a busy area, it's quiet inside. Breakfast has good variations to choose with excellent coffee.

Location is superior. Staff very accommodating. Rooms very clean. Breakfast very good. All in small fridge was available to us at no charge. Arranged dinners at restaurant and arranged our taxis. Elevator convenient. Room temp can be regulated. Request a room above first floor to avoid street noise.

Singapore+: Extreme proximity to the Vatican and St Peter’s Square which ensures safety and security for female solo travellers. English Mass available at the church on Sunday that’s right behind the Hotel. Hotel is clean, well maintained. -: Sound proofing - on my last night, some guest complained me and my friend were being too noisy in the middle of the night even though we were just talking normally. Also the second floor is literally almost at the street level so you can hear every car and loud outbursts from random street strangers. Not a problem for me as I’m a heavy sleeper but I can see why some people find it an issue.
