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.).

ItalyCheck-in went fine and the receptionist was nice. Unfortunately we were assigned a different room with respect to my initial booking. There were 4 adults in total (3 arriving together for first 2 nights and then my son joining us for the remaining one). We were not given an extra set of keys and this created understandable problems since we were not always together and created great problems with my son (a 24 year old will not be limited time-wise!!). The bathroom was quite a problem too. Upon arrival the noise from the flushing of toilet and opening/closing of water taps was unbelievable and the last day there was an awful clogging of the entire system. I am very sorry that we left the bathroom in an unavoidable mess but this was not our fault. We called a receptionist mentioning the issue but no-one managed to pass by. By the way, I also wish to mention that we were not able to take any showers during our stay...
As I said, location was ok. Breakfast not available and room so-so....

United KingdomWe had a kettle in the room but no cups or other facilities. We had a fridge but the flex wasn't long enough to plug it in. We had a wardrobe but couldn't access it as an extra bed was in the way. When we arrived we had to register at a different address, which was difficult to find.
The location was good and close to Metro.

SwitzerlandThere was a bedbug infestation in my room which has caused enormous problems for myself, my work and put other people at risk. About once an hour the wifi would stop working properly started requesting many sign-ins over and over again for about 15 minutes.
The staff were smooth about check in

United StatesEVERYTHING ELSE. The check-in process was extremely difficult. The advertising on the website was extremely deceptive. Scam like. The ac didn’t work. Not private. Lights broken. Smelled horrible of cigarettes. We specifically asked for a room (and paid for) with a balcony facing the Vatican - there was no view. The Wi-Fi did NOT work as we had a shared router between several other rooms. The keys were confusing and not clear - very sticky in the locks. Linens were not clean. Bathroom was tiny. When we checked in, other guests came out of their room agreeing to the scam.
Close to Vatican. That’s the ONLY positive.

SwitzerlandTHERE WERE BED BUGS IN THE BED! WE COULDN‘T SLEEP! I Asked the owners to give us a proper room without bed bugs, because we were intimidated pf all the reviews. Turns out they are true. The rooms are nasty and full of bugs. Also they changed our room from our booking and it doesn’t look like what they advertise online. Worst hotel ever! DO NOT BOOK!
The Hotel is well located near the Vatican and is in a nice area with a lot of shops and restaurants.

RomaniaWe booked a deluxe room and we received a standard room. When I enetered the room , I was told that I received one of the best standard rooms, however the room didn t look like any of the ones presented as deluxe room. Even though I sent a printscreen with the type of the room that I booked mentioning *deluxe room* , I was told that I booked a standard room. It was very unprofessional.

GermanyWhat we booked according to the decription and did NOT get: - 20 sqm large deluxe bedroom - modern furniture (really nice pictures, which were obviously faked!) - modern, clean, daylight bathroom - shared kitchen (or any kind of kitchen at all) - couch in the room - kettle, coffee machine, safe Instead we got the follwing: - realocation into a different accomodation (we booked Vatican Heart, but ended in White Vatican with different address) - small room (max 14 sqm) full of old furniture, barely space to walk or put luggage for two persons - room was not looking like on the pictures at all: different size, different bed, different furniture, different bathroom, ... - uncomfortable beds - noisy street - old bathroom, broken shower with mold - wardrobe filled with wet, stinky towels (it took hours to get the smell out of the room). We put these towels in the corridor and informed the staff, but they kept laying there for two more days We complained about the room, but the staff was not interested and kept claiming, it was the same standard as advertised, which was definitely not true (you can tell from the pictures we share). We are sure that the pictures of the advertised room at booking.com were taken from the internet and the room does not exist, because the staff claimed it was "under maintenance" and we could not visit it. I specifically asked for a kettle, but did not receive one in six days of our stay although I was pregnant and wanted to drink tea. To conclude, we will never come back and nobody should book this fake-picture rip-off, as it is totally not worth the money we paid (100 euro per night and we did not get any compensation for this fraud)!
Nothing. Not even the location was as good as advertised.

United States1. The actual address is different from the listing. 2. The property pictures are from the different property (Bait-and-Switch). 3. The receptionist was no help.We asked for trauma emergency room (broken finger) and he provided address of the eye doctor. 4. No room cleaning. We were staying for 8 nights - 0 times cleaning. 5. The room was not cleaned with visible dirt from the previous occupants. 6. There was only 1 chair, no table. The furniture is old and beaten up. 7. The shower drain was blocked. 8. The faucet was loose and leaking water on the sink countertop and down on the floor. it was secured, after we called the receptionist, but it was still leaking water on the countertop, making a lake there. 9. There was no ventilation in the room, that was causing a water condensation on the walls and the wall paint was pealing off in some places. 10. The window was facing a busy street with a lot of traffic noise. We had to sleep with closed window and and wake up several times over night, to open it up and get some fresh air.
The good thing is location. Right next to Vatican City. It's worth mentioning here, that, after we asked, they gave us an electric kettle and an iron.
