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.).

United KingdomThe only minor problem, given the location, was lack of tea making facilities in room. It is available on request but we didn’t want to put staff to an inconvenience. As I say, only a minor issue.
The location is ideal, perched above the Ligurian coast, the views are wonderful and it is very quiet. It is up a steep and winding road, but a free shuttle bus, just about hourly, is very efficient both ways into and from town that makes repeat journeys if necessary. Buffet breakfast is amongst the best I’ve had and the staff are brilliant. Special mention to the lady on duty each night who made our nightly cups of tea when we got back, she was really friendly and immensely helpful, but all the staff we encountered were excellent.

SwitzerlandThe orange juice on the breakfast buffet was not up to standards: way too diluted according to my taste. Otherwise the breakfast buffet was rich and well organised. On windy days the lack of airtight doors leads to a whistling sound which can be disturbing during nights. In general, the sound isolation could be better but is probably due to the time of construction of the hotel. These are however minor points in an overall very positive appreciation.
The hotel is located somewhat outside of the busy village at about 120 m above sea level. Needless to say that going down to and particularly getting up to the hotel from Monterosso was some good sport. Luckily enough they have a very efficient shuttle service that runs up and down at least once every hour. The view from the balcony is breath-taking: you oversee the 5 villages of the cinque terre. The people at the reception couldn't have been more helpful

United StatesA first-rate place. I will definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Cinque Terre. I would especially like to note how professional, friendly, and accommodating the women who staff the front desk are. I hope their bosses know what a good job they do. Excellent supper options for those looking for a bite after exploring the villages. Great view from the terraces--a nice place to relax.

United KingdomWe would have liked to be on the top floor but our floor the first still gave us views to die for but you could hear people above walking around as there are no carpets in the floor.
Location stunning up a mountain with views over the whole of the cinque terre- we like walking it if you don’t - do not choose this hotel- the town is a very steep walk up and down but there is a free shuttle every hour but if you don’t want to walk you have to wait for the shuttle but that’s no harsh up when you’re in holiday. The breakfast was varied and filling and sorted us for the days walking and exploring. The place was sooo clean !

GermanyGenerally everything was very good. We are so appreciated about our stay. If I have to say something which we did not like so much is the comfort of the bed. It might be improved (or maybe this is not valid for all the rooms. Maybe we were unlucky and there was something wrong with our bed)
The staff, breakfast, cleanliness, and view of the hotel are amazing. Before the visit, I was little worried about the shuttle, but it never became a problem. You can easily adjust yourself according to the time of the shuttle and even you miss it, you can still walk. Every one hour it goes from the hotel to the town and from town to the hotel. And even it is crowded, it makes couple of more rounds.
