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.).

AustraliaThe only constructive feedback I have is that the window curtains were see-through, so I imagine the appartments on the opposite side of the street can see into your room when you have the lights on.
Great accomodation. The location is very convenient, a short walk from the station and you are right in the middle of the cozy and lively city centre, with plenty of affordable food and drink options. La Spezia seems cheaper than other Italian cities. This is a good spot for a visit to Cinque Terre, which is only a 15-minute train ride away (to Riomaggiore). I liked the room, I liked the location but most of all I liked the communication from hosts Davide and Emanuala who ensured we could easily self-check in late at night and kept us informed via WhatsApp with information (and photos) about entry codes etc. They also gave very useful information about the Cinque Terre and made a great breakfast.

The place is great. Davide met us at the property and explained everything. We gave us a map and suggestions on places to visit, as well as, places to eat. He was great at communication when we needed him. The room was very pretty with artwork all around including the ceiling. Our room faced the street but we could not hear any outside noice. A/C was great. There is an elevator which works great when you have luggage but it's only 3 flights up (for us Americans although it's a 2nd floor for Europe). Stairs are great. We chose to have breakfast and it was AMAZING. Well worth the price.

United StatesPrivacy - the door was glass with just a thin curtain covering it. While this room was at the very back, this was terrible because it is very easy to see shadows through it. The walls were thin so I could hear people in the next room - they need to replace curtains with blackout/thicker curtains that easily cover the windows on the doors. I had to push my luggage against them to try to ensure more privacy but in the morning the sunlight flows right into your eyes from these curtains. The building was a bit confusing at first to navigate and no elevator.
Good location. Less than 10 min walk from train station and lots of restaurants/shops nearby. Easy entry and self check-in (instructions via WhatsApp). Good wifi. Clean, with all amenities including water and a fridge. Easy to leave luggage for the day and come back to get it on the way out of town. Blankets were warm enough and bed had 2 outlets. Cute decor and was quiet overall.

RomaniaThere was a dog barking a little bit at night and a neighbor with a noisy tv volume but I closed the balcony door so it was okay.
I chose La Spezia as a base for visiting Cinque Terre and it was perfect. This B&B was so lovely, unique decorated, great located in the city center and a few mins walk from the train station. Many restaurants, shops nearby, tiny little streets that you could just walk back and forth, everything is so beautiful. The staff are very kind and flexible with the check-in. The breakfast was delicious, diverse and prepared on site. Davide offered me the map of the surroundings with great recommendations of the cinque terre, beaches and restaurants.

LithuaniaThis is a room in a apartment. You will have neighbors. Ours arrived late, were talking loudly, ate and washed dishes at 00:00. We heard everything. The place need renovation or just a man with equipment and several hours. Our door handle was loose, toilet was not stable. There's no air conditioning, they even informed us about this earlier, there's a good fan, yet it was loud and it was not easy to sleep (some maintenance needed).
The staff was amazing. A charismatic guy called us earlier to ask our arrival time, met us at the door and showed everything. He recommended us restaurants and places to visit. The breakfast was excellent, it surely exceeded what I expected at a place like this. Location was very very good. Close to everything you want to visit. Everything was really clean.
