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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

NetherlandsJust a few steps away from La Spezia train station, ideal for wanting to discover Cinque Terre. Accommodation is modern, clean and beds are comfortable. Also like that there were just two dormitories so not too many people. Francesco is a most welcoming host! Definitely one of the best hostels Ive stayed had, would recommend!

United StatesSome of the guests were not respectful of the rules but that has nothing to do with the property itself.
It was in the perfect location to visit cinque terre and the Francesco was incredibly helpful when it came to navigating the area.

AustraliaThis place is an absolute gem! Francesco has exceptional hospitality and is always willing to provide invaluable recommendations for the Cinque Terre area. His lovely personality truly made my stay unforgettable - you really feel like family staying here. The complimentary wine, tea, and biscuits in the common area were cute touches, and the breakfast (from his brother’s cafe next door) was delicious. The dorms were spotlessly clean, and the bathrooms were fantastic. The location is also unbeatable - just a two-minute walk from the station. Hands down, this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in and I can't wait to come back! Grazie mille, Francesco!!!!

BrazilEverything went perfect.
I'd love the vibe of this place. It's a small hostel managed by two brothers, Francesco and Antonio. Also, you have a bar/bistro, Ciao Baby, downstairs serving great food. The bathrooms are great and you have plenty of space in the rooms. There is not space for a lot of guests, I think there is only 2-3 rooms, so is easy to met everybody in the kitchen and downstairs. The hostel is just a few steps from the La Spezia train station which turns to be easy to explore everything around like Cinque Terre villages.
