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.).

UkraineCons: • The mattresses could be more comfortable. Given the overall quality of the hotel, upgrading the mattresses would improve the sleep quality for guests.
Hotel rating: 8.5/10. Pros: • Location: Perfect! The hotel is only 10-15 minutes’ walk from major attractions like Piazza San Marco, the Rialto Bridge, and the stops for the vaporetto (water buses) to the islands of Murano and Burano. The square where the hotel is located is quiet and not overcrowded, which is very comfortable, especially in the evening. No need to search for an entrance down narrow, deserted streets—coming back to the hotel is super easy. • Style & Atmosphere: The hotel has a traditional Venetian style, which gives it a unique charm. While it’s not brand new, everything is clean and well-maintained. In our room, we had new modern windows and an updated bathroom, which made the stay more comfortable. • Staff: The reception staff was excellent! Friendly and professional, they really made you feel like a valued guest. The service here is top-notch. • Facilities: The room matches the photos and is clean and tidy. There’s also a lift in the building, which is very convenient, especially with luggage.

GreeceWe had a truly wonderful experience at Hotel Scandinavia. The location is perfect, close to everything you might need. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped, making our stay very relaxing. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any request. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend Hotel Scandinavia to anyone visiting Venice — it is the perfect place for a pleasant and carefree holiday.

PolandWe couldn t have asked for a better location-just a few minutes walk from both the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark s Square. Our room offered an unforgettable view of the charming Santa Maria Formosa square and church, which truly added to the magic of our stay. The staff were exceptional-warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. A special thank you to Elena, who was so helpful and kind, and also provided us with Biennale Architecture maps, knowing that the Biennale was the main reason for our trip to Venice with my daughter. We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel and would love to return!

United Statesnothing to say.
Overall, our experience was great. We did encounter a few minor issues — for instance, someone was smoking in the building, and when we opened the window to air out the room, we discovered a piece of underwear left in the shutters. However, the staff responded quickly and professionally to our concerns, which we truly appreciated. Breakfast was wonderful, and the view along with the peaceful atmosphere of the piazza where the property is located was definitely a highlight of our stay.

Very good location! Out of the way of the tourist area but close enough to walk to the popular sights! There are lovely restaurants and bars nearby, staff were helpful, the place was really clean and the rooms had amazing Aircon! The shower was great, really powerful! The room has a safe and mini fridge which were an added bonus. A really nice stay overall, would definitely stay there again!

United KingdomI think a little bit of comfort was sacrificed for the age and beauty of the building. Which was fine.
Location, the building is very old and incredibly beautiful. It’s full of authentic antiques from Venice. It’s like staying in living museum.
