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.).

Massimo is a top-notch person! Very kind, very cheerful, he explained everything we needed and even gave us recommendations. The room is like a dream — absolutely nothing to complain about, spotless clean! Equipped with everything you could possibly need, close to the train station, and very close to the city center. We have nothing negative to say — it was incredible.

United StatesThe room was dark because of the position of the window. A balcony would have been nice to have too.
The room and bathroom were a good size. We also appreciated the room being made up on 3 out of the 4 days. It was very clean and quiet. Massimo and Cinzia were very kind and met us nearby to walk us to their place.

United StatesThe "in-house" availability of a minimal breakfast...but not critical since there are nearby shops.
Massimo went above and beyond! He was on the sidewalk outside to greet us. He helped with the luggage and then joined me in our car to find free parking. He recommended a restaurant that was one of the best dinners that we had in Italy. He was jovial, friendly and accommodating. If we travel to La Spezia again we will absolutely book again.

SwedenWe thought the bed was a bit hard bit it was ok. But after days of walking in Cinque Terre my back could have needed a softer bed but we are all different so no complain really 👍🏾
We really like the location of Sweet Dreams. We also really liked the room, the host and La Spezia. Easy to be on contact with the host and we got all the help we needed. Perfect!

United StatesLeaving...
Firstly, Massimo and Cinzia were excellent, so helpful and friendly also Cinzia's son Fabio helped with some of my questions. The location is great, close to the train station, restaurants and even a huge market outside the door on one of the days I was there. Having the train station was great for trips to Cinque Terre, also close is the harbour for boat trips to Cinque Terre, which was very pleasant. Massimo helped so much with this boat trip and even sent me directions to the boat. My "Shabby Chic" room was very well appointed with a very comfortable bed. Being an "old" guy on one of my first trips travelling alone, again Massimo was so helpful with his suggestions and kindness. Will definitely stay there again when in the area.

United StatesThe location is mostly quiet, with the exception of Fridays with the street market, which was pretty loud and made the street incredibly crowded and more overwhelming to get where I wanted to go. This is no fault of the owners, just something for other travelers to be aware of. Otherwise, my stay was perfect!
I had an incredible stay at Sweet Dreams! Massimo contacted me the day before my stay, and we kept in contact as I was arriving and throughout the duration of my stay. He greeted me as I approached the stay for check-in. Massimo and his wife’s hospitality were spectacular! Massimo went over a map of La Spezia with me and provided a few nearby recommendations. Sweet Dreams is in an ideal location, with Dolce Magie (incredible pastry shop) within a few minutes walk, a daily produce market within a 5 minute walk (except Sundays), 10 minute walk to La Spezia Centrale, and a 15 minute walk to the harbor, if you want to talk the ferry to Cinque Terre (I highly recommend!). My room in Sweet Dreams was very comfortable and the location is pretty quiet. I was very well taken care of at Sweet Dreams, and it was the perfect home base while I explored the Cinque Terre! I recommend this stay to anyone looking to stay in La Spezia or wanting to explore the Cinque Terre, without as large of crowds.
