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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. 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.).

IrelandThe person who seemed to be staff totally ignored us. The toilet seat wobbled and the shower could do with an upgrade.
The location was fabulous, right in the heart of Lucca, a wonderful city with so much to see, great restaurants and a lovely atmosphere. Communication with the accomodation in advance of arrival was easy and they facilitated an early check-in.

SpainNothing to not like about the room to be honest - as mentioned in my previous comment, everything was great - facilities, location, presentation, preparation, price.... All Good! If there was one negative it would only be the amount of stairs you have to climb to get to the apartment but that's not the fault of the host and no reflection on anything else - just the way it is if you want to stay somewhere historic!
Great Communication from the host - first message received very quickly with instructions... They also responded quickly to another question, which was appreciated, as we were already staying elsewhere and traveling. The room itself was superb - very clean, lots of space and nicely prepared and a great en-suite. The location was absolutely spot-on! Couldn't get better really, if you wanted to be in the heart of Lucca's old city walls.

FinlandThe b&b is on the 3rd floor and the stair were steep which might be challenging for some people, but it didn't bother us :) Breakfast didn't seem to be available.
Our room was very clean and cozy. The location was perfect: right in the center of Lucca old town and 15-20 min from the train station. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

United StatesI'm an older American citizen and I don't speak Italian very well. I found it difficult to communicate with the property owner to get access to the accommodations. I don't recall any information/directions that was available on the B&B website as to what I needed to do when I arrived. I didn't like not having someone available at the apartment to greet me. A nice woman who lives in the building happened to be there when I arrived, and she assisted me in contacting the apartment manager. I had no idea what I was supposed to do when I arrived.
The breakfast was very good with a variety of choices. The location is very good, with easy access to all of the interesting places to see and visit.

United StatesWi-Fi was very sporadic. Host came over to check it out and said it was working fine. Later I had to stop two different calls and move to cellular because WiFi cuts in and out. This makes productive work impossible so maybe a mesh network would help. There were also a few hairs in the shower floor when I used the shower. Otherwise a very clean apartment and nice space.
Excellent location and easy check-in check-out process.

United StatesBathroom shower had hair in the bottom from last tenant, which I cleaned up before showering. A bit of housekeeping oversight that happens from time to time. Also, the light in the bedroom/sitting room kept going out. I finally texted to rental company and they sent a fellow over to fix the problem (but he took about two hours to arrive, so the problem got solved, but it took a while.). Check-in is electronic/no contact and translation to English was a bit confusing. Not sure if this is Google Translate or rental agent problem... it worked in the end with the help of another tourist staying at this same place.
This is a great location and a cozy comfortable room. The bathroom is small but very well appointed and everything works well. The bed was a bit soft for my taste, but I slept well after 26 days and 400 miles on the VF pilgrimage route. Top floor room reduced street noise to a non-factor and my room, while a part of the ancient ring around the Anfiteatro Roman (Roman amphitheater) had no windows facing that arena, so no noise, but very ready access to abundant food and shops and nightlife.

United StatesThere are a lot of stairs to climb. I was carrying a lot with me, so that was hard. But, things like that are to expected in places as historic as the anfiteatro area.
The location is great. The owner is fantastic and also has a restaurant nearby where the food is very good. Good enough for locals vs tourists. He really bent over backwards to help accommodate me and even carried one of my bags. The room is simple and not fancy. But everything was clean and worked. It was exactly what I needed for a one night stay.

Location is great :) Breakfast is served in a close cafe. The first breakfast was great many fresh pastries- there were many guests because it was a bank holiday in Italy, but after the second night we got only leftovers from the previous day.

South AfricaWe never received our check-in information and had to ask strangers from the nearby shops to help us contact the owner because we could not reach him on the provided number. The entire process was very unprofessional and distasteful. There was no kitchen available which is in direct contradiction with what the booking stated.
Ideal location in the heart of Lucca with a clean and spacious room. Standard Italian-styled breakfast. The room has an empty minibar and a semi-functioning aircon.
