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 KingdomShower tray could’ve been cleaner. Milk pods could’ve been added to the coffee tray, and a tissue roll.
Property was clean however the shower tray had quite a bit of mould on the corners which can be easily removed so showering wasn’t a pleasant experience.

PortugalNothing in particular.
The location is splendid! Right in front of the two famous towers, in the very center of the city. Every attraction is within walking distance. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Despite being on the top floor, it was not hot due to the great air conditioning and good circulation. The kitchen is very well equipped.The terrace is a great spot for having dinner.

United KingdomVery small issue (that I'm sure the Petronio Team would have addressed if we had raised it) was the built-in safe did not work. One further issue that both my wife and I found awkward (but not insurmountable) was the size of the Shower Cubicle in the bathroom. The only way to describe it was 'very cozy'. Taking a showers were not the highlight of our days. The shower equipment was all clean and of a high quality, however the depth of the cubicle made it challenging to get into / move around in.
Location great. Plenty of a nice Restaurants / Shops, virtually on the doorstep. Lovely establishment (Pizzeria Gingio) literally 20ft from the apartment entrance where we would have a morning Coffee + Croissant to start our day and also finish with a nice Nightcap. Due to the timing of our stay we didn't get to meet the Petronio Residence team, however we saw evidence of the apartment being cleaned / tidied after returning from our adventures. Keypad entry was great! No worrying about losing keys. Lift was available, so no problems with dragging luggage up staircases. We were on the 1st floor of the building. Bologna is a lovely place to visit; locals are very friendly and welcoming and the city is packed with both fascinating and beautiful architecture. There are also bus tours (with commentaries) that will give you an idea of where to visit. There are also many 'hidden treasures' to be found down narrow streets that are worth investigating.

United KingdomThere was a mirror in the bathroom and one on the inside of the shared wardrobe door (in hallway) but additional mirrors in the bedrooms would have been more convenient.

CanadaMy mother is 94 yo and does not walk too well. The entrance has a few shallow stairs, which I did not expect. Luckily it was well-lit so she could see where to step. A handrail on the wall would be very useful.
Perfectly located in the centre of the historic district and accessible by taxi and bus. It was such a pleasure to be able to walk to tourist sights. The beds were so comfortable (I like firm), the kitchen was nicely maintained and the washroom was clean and modern. The management was off-site but responded quickly to our messages. It was like having a friend around the corner!
