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 regions, 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 StatesZero.
Did not expect it to be as wonderful as it is! It is really lovely and well appointed. For example a real hair dryer like in a salon in every room, each room comes with an iron and ironing board. The beds and pillows and linens are lovely. Views out the windows with sunshine, easy to control air conditioner. When I thought I saw all they have a rooftop gorgeous outdoor and covered and enclosed dining room for breakfast and cocktails. Smells Good everywhere all day wiht whatever they are using. Staff is wonderful. We usually stay at a place twice the price. This is an extraordinary good deal. I am crazy to share this because it will be booked all the time now.

United KingdomNothing - wish we could have stayed longer
The hotel is in the centre of Rome close to restaurants, 5 mins walk to the Spanish steps and 2mins walk to the Piazza del Popolo where the majority of the organised trips (eg Tuscany, Sorrento etc.) leave from. We stayed in room 107 Rooms are spacious, air conditioned, our room had both a bath & shower. Rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels. Welcome biscuits and a bottle of red wine was a lovely treat as we arrived in our room. Fridge with soft drinks and fresh bottled water available & coffee/tea making facilities. Plenty of choice at breakfast with a range of cereal, continental and some hot food options. Staff are very friendly, willing to help and with 24hour reception it’s great if you happen to arrive late to check in as we did. Highly recommend this hotel and we would definitely stay there again 😁

MaltaIt was slightly overpriced due to Coldplay concert (the forces of demand and supply), even if it was booked well in advance. But there is nothing to complain, really.
Hotel is in an excellent location. Rooms are spacious, with good linens, very comfortable beds and pillows. The walk-in closet was a plus, and the bathroom (bath and rain shower) is very big for Rome standards. Fine and branded Toiletries from Diptyque, and very well stocked every day. Staff are very welcoming and professional. Service is excellent. Roof terrace (with retractable canopy) for drinks and breakfast is comfortable, and airconditioned. Very good breakfast. Recommendable!!!! Keep it up.

We are return guests at Babuino and will always choose to stay at Babuino when in Rome. It is an exceptional small boutique hotel and we absolutely love staying there. The manager of the rooftop restaurant even remembered us from last year!

United StatesThere was water seeping up through the floor in the bathroom when walked on. Hopefully this is remedied for the next guest in Room 204. There is no lobby in this hotel, just a long desk and a narrow corridor. Not a big deal but lacks the warmth and hospitality of other SLH hotels in the area. The location just off Piazza Popolo lacks the charm of other areas of the city, although it is as central as anything else.
The basic Deluxe room and bathroom are exceptionally roomy and well-furnished, more than comfortable for two people. The coffee/espresso machine in the room and high quality bath products are to be expected but are still very much appreciated. The breakfast room on the rooftop terrace is a beautiful quiet oasis at the start of the day, and the breakfast offerings are varied and superb. Valerio and the staff on the terrace are wonderfully kind and welcoming.

AustraliaOur original room had a plumbing problem. It did take 2 days to get this sorted. However for our 3rd night the hotel upgraded us to their largest suite which was fabulous and greatly appreciated.
Fabulous central location. Rooftop restaurant away from the madding crowds of Rome. Helpful, cheery staff. Very pleasant rooms with thoughtful amenities and included mini bar and bottle of welcome wine.

If I were to describe it in two words, I would say kindness and kindness 🤩 But, I can't cut it short. We were very pleased with the welcome, the room comfort and the tiny welcome biscuit, the coffee, the comfort of the bed, the rooftop breakfast room, the polite staff there, the variety and quality of the breakfast, the smiling face and politeness of the reception staff, and the hand cream and scent in the bathroom. It was in the top three of my hotel list in Rome. Thank you, see you again very soon
