How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewI was hesitant before I came because the review online was good-and-bad. Some of the reviews were quite negative. And the hostel rarely replied to my message. However, when I came and met them in person, they were wonderful people, very friendly, helpful and welcoming. They received a parcel for me before I came. The house was very nice, I can tell the owner has the artistic mind with full of paintings and decorations around the house. They have a very lovely garden in the house which really can calm anyone down going back from the sun of Rome. The room has 3 beds and gets cleaned everyday (usually hostels are quite jammed with full of beds in the room: 6-8 beds). You can use their utensils in the kitchen and breakfast is included (which is usually included with the hostel price)
Only the garden has quite a lot of mosquitoes. They don't put up a big sign in front of the house which will make it difficult for newcomers to find them

Read the comments before booking. DO NOT BOOK!!!! This place is not safe and should not be on booking.com

Verified reviewThese people are thieves. I reserved without looking at the comments then wrote to them right away that i wanted to cancel due to safety reasons of their hotel. I was a woman travelling alone. And they never gave me a penny back. I reserved for 3 nights.
Booking needs to cancel this hotel from their website. It is horrible. Girls do not feel safe there and even get moved during the night by men. And the police even closed that place down. REMOVE THIS HOTEL FROM YOUR PLATFORM!!!!

Verified reviewFor the price, this accommodation is great considering its proximity to the metro station. I was slightly hesitant at first considering the reviews on Google Maps, but my stay was honestly great! The room is shared with a bathroom for the three of us. What's great with the room is that there was an AC unit. That's perfect considering the heat in Rome during the summer months. The bed was comfortable, and I was able to sleep well through the night. The breakfast was just alright, and one couldn't really complain considering the price. I get how the negative reviews say that the people there are not friendly, but they actually are. I surmise it is the language and cultural barriers that made some consider this. I would definitely consider staying here again when I go back to visit Rome.
In the common area, there were mosquitoes, but it's the effect of the summer time. The breakfast too was not my preference, but that's more of a personal preference.
