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 reviewThis place was great! The staff were lovely and very helpful! The room was beautiful and the garden is really cute! The location is great, in a quieter leafy area but a few mins to the metro that takes you to the city centre and the attractions are also very walkable if you like walking!

Verified reviewI had such a lovely stay. Off the bat, although I did not meet the host, they were very accommodating and helpful. The were kind enough to provide recommendation for food around the area without even requesting. The room was clean and comfortable. Very roomy and modern as well. The location was AMAZING! Very walkable distance to attractions like the St. Peters Basilica or even just some shopping. I will definitely look into staying here again when I come back.
It was a little confusing trying to buzz in/find the building at first, but the host was immediate to respond and let me in.

Verified reviewI was really surprised by a personal contact with our host. Usually nobody shows us room nowadays, but Riccardo came personally, showed us a room and stayed in a contact for the whole trip.
Fridge was a little loud :)

Verified reviewThe room was spacious with lots of closet space and a large bathroom. It was also a few mins walk to the metro which made the airport/train station trips easy. The ~30 min walk to other sites was also enjoyable. There’s a nearby bus stop too.
Nothing. It was great.

Verified reviewVery spacious room (sleeping area + bathroom), fully functional air conditioning, nice location in a quiet and serene part just outside Vatican, blinds to block out sunlights when it was too bright. The room was very clean and nicely furnished, giving a contemporary yet elegant feel. I asked for an early check in and the host was prompt to accommodate this as well as allowing me to store my luggage before the room is fully cleaned. The host was very welcoming and recommended a few lovely restaurants in the area. Overall an ideal accommodation if looking for a safe and quiet area in Rome to live in that is close to Vatican and more isolated from the business of Central Rome. As a solo traveler this was of great appeal to me, I thoroughly enjoyed the sense of safety the area granted me.
N/A. The door to my room was a little hard to push open but I think this issue is temporary and would be resolved soon, overall this does not impacted the quality of the stay at all. Excellent property!

Verified reviewThe suites are located very close to the Ottaviano metro station and a short walk from St. Peter's square; my room was ample and beautifully furnished, the bed super comfortable, the bathroom just outstanding, not to mention the super kind and helpful host! Thank you Riccardo, I'll be back!
The only tiny flaw I found was that the tv was able to get 1 channel only.

Verified reviewWe loved the quieter location, access to trains/bus, and also easy to get to in general. The amenities were great! Snacks and water waiting for us if we wanted them, access to coffee machine. The best part of this airbnb was definitely the bathroom! We loved how spacious and organized the layout of the room is.
We had trouble getting the little stove to work, but we were’t that concerned about it. I would just communicate with the owner if you have trouble turning it on!

Verified reviewA spacious room with everything you need, a large bathroom, and a kettle in the room. Just a 7-minute walk to the Vatican Museums and 5 minutes to the nearest metro station. The quality of the accommodation fully matches the price. I will definitely recommend it to others!
