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.).

It has everything you need for a city visit. Location is very convenient since you can go anywhere on foot. Bus stop right in front of the building if needed. The building itself is nice and has a very old and cute elevator. Located on the 5th floor, it makes for a quiet night. We could store our suitcase on the last day due to our late flight. Staff is friendly and responsive. Just what we needed.

AustraliaThis was a secure, clean, comfortable guest house right in the historic centre of Rome, which makes walking to see the city easy. The soundproofing was excellent, you won't hear any street noise from your room. Bottles of cold water were provided in the room fridge, along with access to a kitchenette in the common area. The staff were kind, friendly and helpful, providing advice on location of nearby grocery shops, and transportation.

AlbaniaI honestly don’t even know where to begin, this place exceeded every single expectation I had. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, relaxed, and completely at home. The location is perfect convenient, beautiful, and peaceful. Whether you’re here to explore or just unwind, it offers the best of both worlds. The property itself? Absolutely stunning. Immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully designed down to the tiniest detail. The amenities were top-notch, and everything worked perfectly—fast WiFi, hot water, AC, you name it. What truly made my stay unforgettable, though, was the hospitality. The hosts were some of the kindest, most helpful people I’ve ever met. Warm, responsive, and genuinely caring—they went above and beyond to ensure I had a perfect stay. It felt more like staying with friends than just booking a place. If you’re considering booking this place, don’t hesitate. I’ve stayed in many places through Booking.com, and this one ranks right at the top. I’m already planning my return trip!

United StatesThe water pressure was a little weak compared to the other places I stayed in Rome or Sorrento. There also isn't a keycard to unlock the door, you have to carry around keys, so that's something to keep in mind. However, there is a night app for the outside door and the door to the Guest House, which helped a lot.
I love nearly everything about this place. Location is actually perfect. It's just south of the Pantheon and it's not too close, but not too far either. The air conditioning worked really well which was needed during our stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable.

We loved the location! We go to Rome every year and every year we stay someplace new. This place was one of the best due to its location and tranquility. The staff was also very nice and the bed was comfortable. I liked having the common area with the coffee and fridge.

Xenia Guest House was immaculate clean. Very central location 15 minute walk to most places. There’s a bus terminal and a tram right outside of the building. Maria was an excellent communicator, responding very quickly to every question. She booked my transportation to the hotel even with multiple delays. I can’t say enough great things about this property. The building is breathtakingly beautiful.
