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.).

BelgiumThe restaurant downstairs (not part of the hotel, but downstairs inside the building) was too expensive for what you got. Because of the resto the swimming pool closes at 7pm, which is a bit to early in summer. But the hotel gets our 10/10 !
Very nice historical place with well renovated rooms equipped with everything you need. The common spaces with the books and the Swimming pool are fantastic, the free welcome drink at the outside bar + crostini were great, we enjoyed the atmosphere there of the public square.

South KoreaThere were just a couple of small things that could be improved — there was no trash bin in the room at first, but the staff kindly brought one when we asked. The soundproofing between rooms seemed weak, and although we were very quiet throughout our stay, we still experienced some discomfort. It was also surprising that there was no television in the room, and the bathroom sink drained a bit slowly.
The room was clean and charming, and the breakfast was especially wonderful - everything was fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. The breakfast area itself was also lovely, with a peaceful atmosphere during the day (even though there were a few late-night parties outside). The pool area was also beautiful - a perfect spot to relax. All of the shared spaces throughout the property felt thoughtful and special. Francesca at the reception was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our visit - she welcomed us warmly on arrival, guided us perfectly with parking, and even recommended a local luminarie event that made our trip truly special. We’re very grateful for everything and would definitely come back! — Park from Korea

United KingdomWe would have enjoyed having coffee/tea making facilities in our room.
A great place to stay. All the staff, with no exception, were so helpful and friendly. Francesca, in particular, was professional, attentive and went out of her way to assist with many things including arranging taxis for us. The rooms were spacious and cleaned beautifully each day. The breakfast was really good with an amazing choice and lovely moka coffee.

United StatesEverything was more than perfect.
Palazzo Cicolone exceeded our expectations IN EVERY WAY. Everything from the lovely and helpful receptionists to the over-the-top breakfasts to the balconies that overlook the cobblestone street, to the blackout shades, to the beautifully restored and designed spaces. You can tell the staff really understands how to pamper their guests. We’ve never been so impressed by any guest experience anywhere in the world—it was a dream.

The staff were amazing and a credit to the hotel. Francesca on reception went above & beyond to help us. The ladies that cleaned our room daily were so thorough. The ladies behind the bar provided a first class service and kept our drinks flowing😀. And not forgetting the staff who ensured our breakfast was prepared to a high standard. What more could we ask for! This hotel is a little gem and the owner should be very proud of his team.

LithuaniaWe chose the Amorini room; if you like to sleep in, it might be a problem because the room is right across from the reception, and it can be noisy.
The location is wonderful, the historic palazzo is beautifully decorated, the rooms are cleaned every day, and even all the belongings are neatly arranged. The breakfasts are quite good, with a wide selection by Italian standards, not just coffee and croissants. The hotel staff is also amazing, very responsive and friendly. We were left with only warm impressions!

United KingdomThe Palazzo was exactly how I imagined it - big spacey rooms, gorgeous pool and delicious breakfast. The bar is used locally as well as for guests and is great for grabbing snacks and drinks. Francesca was an absolute superstar and arranged days out for us using local drivers as we didn't have a car. She is one of the reasons I wouldn't hesitate to go back. The whole team were wonderful.
