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.).

I wish there was microwave in the common area. Also one part of the wall requires some new paint 😉

Verified reviewGreat location and very near Vatican City. Approx 15 to 20 minute walk to the other side of the river. Salvatore on the desk will help you with recommendations. The apartment is clean and tidy. Fridge, coffee and tea making facilities. Really quiet at night ensures a good night's sleep.

Verified reviewLocation is not bad, ceilings are high, the street is calm
the walls are so thin, you hear sounds of other rooms. Water sounds at night. since the rooms are at the entrance, you hear people going in and out at night. The bed is old and noisy. Generally everything is old and doesn’t smell clean. Not a bad stay but low value for money.

Verified reviewI had a great stay! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, which made the experience even better. The location is perfect - right next to the Vatican and within walking distance of many main attractions. The place was clean, quiet, and well-equipped, with very comfortable beds.
The only downside was some street noise, as my room faced the road.

Verified reviewEverything was great - location, cleanliness, size of the room. We loved the little table where you could have a cup of coffee or tea, and the fact that there was a fridge for your milk, water, and/or yoghurt.
There was nothing that we didn’t like but we have two suggestions for small improvements: - a suitcase rack would be great to have in the room, in order not to have to place suitcase on bed for (un)packing. - it would be great to have cups and cutlery cleaned on a daily basis (or maybe just have a tea towel so the guest can clean them). I know that it’s possible to put the ‘please clean’ sign on the door. We tried that, but then you also get new towels, and that’s not needed everyday 😅

Verified reviewA fantastic property, perfect for exploring Rome. It allows you to move around the city on foot but also with direct access to both public transport (metro/buses) and the shuttle from Fiumicino (100 m to the shuttle stop). Great contact with the facility and on-site assistance make it an ideal place to stay. Comfortable conditions, very clean and modern.

Verified reviewVatican Domus guesthouse was great for our 2-night-stay. The location was perfect, in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood with several breakfast-places, bars and restaurants, not far from the main sights. The room was very nice and we had a great sleep in the beds. When I come back, I will choose this accommodation again. The staff was also very helpful. Thank you!
