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.).

IrelandThe internal space is not soundproofed which I found misleading from description. You can hear other guests and the people up stairs. No ironing board in the room. Towels not changed in 5 days of stay. Also didn’t like only having one key card to gain entry to the property- this was awkward for us when we split up and a worry if we had lost the card.
The location is excellent, only 10/15 minute walk to the train station and 30 to city centre. Very clean room with comfy bed. Marco is an excellent host and made some great restaurant recommendations. Room is like a small hotel room. Outside area and pool beautiful.

Our stay at Affittacamere Villa Marcella was very relaxing the weather was very warm so coming back every day from sightseeing the pool was a wonderful blessing. Being 20 minutes walk into central La Spectra we were surprised by the quality of the restaurants nearby the villa, saved going into town every night. Elisa and Marco were lovely hosts.

The Hosts were amanzing ! We stayed for 6 nights,free parking right in front or around the villa. Only around 15minutes to the Trainstation La Spezia Centrale. We had a room with balcony, the balcony had the perfect size to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. The hosts Elisa & Marco can help you with everything, the also prepared a ton of information in different languages for you, they even help you find a restaurant and book a table for you, thats what i call top service ! the pool and the backyard area were also totally beautiful, clean and quiet. perfect to relax. I can only highly recommend Affittacamere Villa Marcella 👍🏻

What a gem! The hosts could not have been friendlier or kinder. The communication was fantastic, via WhatsApp to make it much easier, and lots of useful information was shared proactively. The room (we had a triple with balcony and street view for me and two teens) was spotless and comfortable, and the air con was the quietest I have ever experienced. The pool was perfect (we had it to ourselves most of the time, too) and there's a great outside area with lemon and lime trees, shaded tables for eating (under pretty lights), table football, table tennis, and plenty of sunbeds, a swing seat and hammock too. There are many nearby restaurants to choose from, a shop within about 5 minutes, and an incredible bakery a few minutes' walk away (turn left and just walk down the road) - we got four delicious things twice and it was €5 and then €4. Incredible. The doughnuts are like biting into a cloud... We were allowed to stay and use the pool for several hours after check-out and given use of the owners' bathroom to get changed, which was so kind and generous of them, and made our last day so much better (we didn't fly out of Pisa until 9pm). It's highly recommended in every way, and we were so grateful for the use of the pool after check out. A great place to stay if you're planning to see the Cinque Terre towns, about a 15-20 minute walk to the train station.

We liked everything about our stay. Marco and his wife looked after us exceptionally well. The house and pool etc were spotless and had a lovely aroma. The cafe across the road was welcoming and helpful and marco booked 2 exceptional meals for us during our stay. He even picked us up and dropped us off when we couldn’t get a taxi. It was the perfect base to explore the Cinque Terra but La Spezia was worth the visit on its own!

United KingdomIt would be good to have kitchen facilities and laundry facilities at the Villa even if shared but this was minor issue as there was a laundry close by.
The owners were very friendly and helpful. The gardens were beautiful and the pool was great. Location was convenient. We all enjoyed the snacks (lots of them and replaced daily) and the mini fridge. Good base for exploring surrounding area. Seafood restaurant (Petronilla) was recommended by the owners. It seemed expensive but actually was really good value for the quality of the food and the number of courses (it really was delicious).
