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 reception was mostly unmanned, though luckily that wasn't an issue for us as the owners were there when we arrived and told us everything we needed to know. We carried keys to the building and room around Venice with us.
Lovely homely place, in an old Venetian building alongside the Santa Maria Formosa canal in the centre of Castello, right by Palazzo Grimaldi - perfect location to walk around Venice. Family-run, which was great as the owners (Giada and Andrea and their mum) were kind and helpful, full of tips and suggestions. Very clean, beds and shower were good and the breakfast was good value with some local delicacies, though not a wide selection. Our daughter loved meeting Chip the dog too.

NetherlandsI think the price is too high: allthough our stay was in a dead-end street, the akoustics made in a noisy place. Furthermore the cupboard doors and drawers did not close and there was no glass or cup. It made a rather shabby impression for a 4 star hotel.
The Hotel is right in the Centre of the city between San Marco and Fondamente Nove. This makes in the right place for exploring the city

The location was very central. Close to Rialto Bridge and San Marco Square. Lots of restaurants and shops close by. Great place and staff were super helpful.

United States3rd floor room with no lift. Thin walls. Breakfast wasn’t very good, and we were charged inconsistently. At first, we were told kids eat free. Then they were half off. Then they were full price. Felt like a bait and switch.
Great location. Comfortable beds. Great water pressure in the shower.

SwitzerlandSmall and a bit dirty with the smoking neighbours nearby not really adding to the atmosphere. Breakfast is only available when it suits them; make sure you are fit enough to climb all those stairs with your luggage!
Friendly staff, good location, interesting decor and a lot of character, with a bit of space outside the room with tables and chairs that allowed us to breathe a little bit outside our cramped quarters :) Periodic gondola singers below our window added to the ambiance!

United KingdomI mean, yes, I have disabilities so the lift would have been perfect. It was very difficult with my asthma but other than that everything was great.
The location was great. Giada was super super friendly. I was surprised and delighted to find a pleasant note on my arrival, apologising for the misunderstanding with regards to 3rd floor rooms with no lift. She had left me a wonderful panettone! I was sooo appreciative and it was delicious! Not sure if my mum is going to get any of it! Lol Staff at breakfast were also very helpful and polite. Giada also went out of her way to find us a possible gondola/boat ride to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks. I love this exceptional customer service. It makes me happy and makes me want to return. Despite no lift! Haha Thank you again. 😁

The rooms were comfortable and clean. Also at the end of the stay after checkout, they helped us with holding the luggage for a few hours before our departure.

United StatesMold in the bathroom was the only negative, but it's also pretty hard to keep it out of these old buildings in such a humid environment. If we came to Venice again, we'd get something slightly nicer for the same price a little further from everything. Venice must be the most walkable city on Earth, so you don't have to be in the heart of everything!
The hosts were incredible!! Unbeatable location, close to everything, and fantastic value.
