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 KingdomDisappointed that bath plug didn't work. A bit shabby generally but that's not really a problem. Odd in a country like Italy with amazing fruit that there wasn't any fresh fruit on the breakfast buffet.
Great location for catching an early train. Nice and quiet. Comfortable bed. Pretty good breakfast. Good for solo traveller.

United KingdomNothing. I had a delightful stay.
Charming little hotel, perfectly located 50 metres from the train station and 100 metres from the city walls. It's a little quirky, with mismatched crockery at breakfast and so on, and the room furnishings have an old-fashioned vibe, but that only adds to its charm. Bed was comfy, water was hot and plentiful, and they provided real bars of soap. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful and my room, despite looking out onto the station piazza which is undergoing refurbishment, was perfectly quiet. Excellent value for money, especially in a city that is otherwise very dedicated to extracting as much from tourists as it can: the Rex stands out for its fair pricing.

This hotel is located next to the Lucca train station. It is an older hotel with old world charm and the staff and owner keep things tidy. Bed Sheets were clean and crisp. Bathroom was well stock with necessities. Breakfast was beyond my expectation with cold cuts cheeses, croissants, cereal, fruits, coffee, teas, etc. Everyone was really nice. This is the place to stay in Lucca for its location and value. 😊

United KingdomThe shower cubicle was very small considering the size of the bathroom.
Great location one minute from the station. The hotel is somewhat dated in a quaint sort of way. All the staff were very friendly, the night porter liked to have a chat when we got back each night. Room was large, comfortable and clean. Coffee, milk and biscuits were replenished everyday with further milk portions and biscuits on the table outside the bedroom. There was a great choice of breakfast items including eggs, cold cuts, cheese, breads and pastries, jams and biscuits. Just outside the city walls it was an easy walk to get into the main town where there are many restaurants, cafes and bars.

This is a comfortable hotel, well located in Lucca literally a stone's throw from the train station, and just outside the city walls. The room and bathroom were well furnished, with a kettle for tea or coffee. I found the staff friendly and helpful.

CanadaIt was dated as we had read, but it was so much better than expected.
It was quaint and welcoming, the people working there were lovely and they provided many little thoughtful extras to make the stay comfortable. The breakfast was good but it was very good because of the service. The location was perfectly convenient for what we had planned as we didn’t have a much time in Lucca

United KingdomHotel Rex is in a super convenient location for visiting the beautiful city of Lucca. We arrived by train and the hotel is only a few minutes from the station and right next to the ancient walled entrance of the old town. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our room was clean, spacious, well equipped, and we were lucky to have a lovely view of the city skyline. The included breakfast was an added bonus.
