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 StatesApartment is smaller than appears in the pictures, but very functional. Tiny, tiny shower. Hopefully Roberto was able to fix the hot water control in the shower. If you want to stay in a more luxurious place that is central to Venice's tourist attractions, this is not for you. But if you want a real neighborhood experience that is fun and a bit rustic, you will live like a local here and love it. We did!
Location was perfect for walking to the Venice Biennial, but it's further from Venice's main tourist attractions. Roberto was a wonderful host -- very kind, always checking to see if we needed anything. Full kitchenette, wifi, laundry washer (hang your clothes outside between the buildings to dry, Italian style!). Located in a quiet, everyday working-class neighborhood. Don't expect luxury, but we felt like we were living in a REAL neighborhood. Restaurants nearby. 12 minute walk to the vaporetto (water bus). 20 minute walk to the main tourist attractions (or take the wonderful vaporetto and live like a local!).

NorwayNothing in particular — of course the property is a bit dated and old but that would be the same across most if not all apartments in Venice, that is part of the charm actually.
The apartment is located in a nice quiet area but still very near restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets, the water taxi stations, and even a nice walking distance to piazza san marco. The apartment has nice air conditioning, sufficient amenities and also neat and clean — and the best part of it all is the hospitality and kindness of the owners Roberto and Emilia. They made sure we were comfortable, and so nicely adjusted their schedule when our flight was delayed and we could not check in the apartment at the appointed time. They would also check from time to time how we were doing and if we are enjoying Venice, which is really a nice gesture.

United StatesThe description of the location of the apartment/B&B was different than what we got. The directions led us to an apartment on a canal, and while the description didn't say that our apartment would be on a canal, that was the impression given. The directions given were to the landlord/owner's apartment. The actual place we stayed was some distance away and not on a canal at all.
This B&B was located in a much quieter part of Venice. The rooms were large and there was plenty of room to hang clothes. Everything was clean, well-kept, and in good working order. The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but was still comfortable enough after walking around Venice for an entire day.

Polandthere were no such things that negatively affected our stay in any way
The apartment is in a great location. Very close to all the attractions of Venice. We walked everywhere. There were cafes nearby that the locals use - and there were tasty breakfasts and even better coffee. The location of the apartment allowed you to mix with the permanent residents of Venice. The place was quiet, there is a park nearby where you could also relax. The host was a very nice person, he explained everything to us, but also there were a lot of different instructions in the apartment. On the main street via Garibaldi there were a lot of places with very good local food. It was a very enjoyable stay.

ArgentinaWe traveled as a couple, and the apartment is very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and has everything you need for a beautiful vacation. Roberto is a very attentive and friendly gentleman who helped us with everything we needed. The location was perfect for us. Venice is a city full of tourists, and staying in this area is much quieter. There are restaurants and supermarkets just a few blocks away, and St. Mark's Square is only a 15-minute walk along the coast. Grazie mille Roberto!

Supermarkets, ice cream shops. Huge thank you and compliment goes to Roberto! Such a kind, lovely, attentive man! We arrived late at night as plane was delayed. That is no issue. He let us in, showed and explained everything regarding apartment. Every day he will text you to ask if he can be of any help. We travel a lot and he is the best host so far we met.

FranceWe made coffee and one dinner at the house. Everything worked and went as expected. Only the exhaust fan didn't work. So the room got hot quite fast. We had to open the windows and blast the A.C.
Robert was accommodating, polite, welcoming, and warm. He toured and detailed the property so we didn't miss anything. He was available via WhatsApp for any questions and responded quickly. The house itself is in nice and quiet lane, away from the hustle and bustle, and the never-ending tourists' noises. It is 20 steps away from a canal, across which is one of the few gardens in Venice. The ferry stop is 2 minute's walk away. It is a few ferry stops away from St. Marco Square (depending on which ferry you take). There is a Coop store and a fish store nearby. And lots of restaurants. The room was spacious. We could do a quick laundry and hang it Venetian style on the ropes outside. Roberto was also kind enough to give us the option to store our luggage after check-out, at no extra charge. He had complimentary coffee, coffee pot, tea, tea kettle and sugar ready for us so we did;t have to go grocery hunting the next morning.
