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 reviewVery cozy away from everything else
Parking was away from property
Dear guest, Thank you sincerely for your kind words. We're glad you found our property welcoming and appreciated the peaceful location, away from the hustle and bustle. Regarding the parking, we're sorry you weren't able to make use of it, it's usually available just outside the property and, for some apartments, even within the complex. We hope your stay was enjoyable overall. Best regards, Alessandro

Verified reviewOur stay at the Italian Guesthouse was nothing short of fantastic: the room was beautiful, tastefully decorated with a stunning view from both the windows and the rooftop patio, and Alessandro was an amazing host, who was very accommodating and did his utmost to help us find our way around town. I would happily stay there again next time I'm in St Lucia.
Thank you for your appreciation. Keep enjoying your traveling!

Verified reviewA lovely traditional place in the hills. Lots of indoor and outdoor space. Amazing views over the marina and Rodney Bay. Staff at the placement was very friendly, polite, welcoming and helpful.
Due to remoteness, it would have been nice to have some board games for entertainment in the evenings. Prime location to get bitten by mosquitoes.

Verified reviewThis was our second stay at Italian guesthouse, we absolutely love the place. On top of the hill the view is just breathtaking and the peace of this place is what we needed to finally relax! 2 minutes from gros islet Friday night, but away from the noisy road. And as always they make you feel at home!

Verified reviewThere are mosquito nets on the beds. The cleaning staff are nice.
I was overcharged. The beds are uncomfortable. Up a very steep hill. They try to sell you their taxi guys and are very pushy when you decline. The noise from the next door apartment was like an elephant walking through our rooms. I could walk straight through an unlocked door into the next apartment so security is bad. I also had so many messages from the host but he was ignoring my responses. It felt like harassment.

Verified reviewKitchen was well equipped, but it's outside so expect a bit of interested spectators while you cook 😅
A/c cost extra 30 ec$ for a night that nobody told us.... it's a shame and you should put it on you bio. Also stuff from reception contacted us about 3 o'clock that she's going at 5 because she has a birthday on next day (?). So we came to empty place and had a video that shown us where we need to go (but in the dark it was much more difficult). But for this price is OK. Also there's a bathtub but you can't use it as there's no plug 😅🤷♂️

Verified reviewNothing. We didn't stay here once we were "checked in".
First, and most importantly, there was a security camera in an area that we were told was for our private use which is incredibly creepy and objectionable. There was also dirty towels and shoes from other people in the same area. The room was not as described (view and amenities) and was filthy (the bathroom in particular). No one was available to check us in on arrival (which was the time indicated on booking) and communication was with several people, none of whom seemed to know what was going on. We stayed 3 hours while we tried to rectify the situation, messaging different people connected to the property who either ignored us or tried to pass us off to someone else. As it was soon to be dark, we left to find another place to stay. Later that evening, the person listed as "general manager" finally replied and apologised via text but has ignored us since we requested a full refund. We have also contacted booking.com regarding this issue with no reply in 3 days despite their assurances that someone would contact us within 24 hours. We have further photos and videos showing the state of the room and property.
