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 StatesI recently stayed at Casa Esmeralda in La Spezia and had a wonderful experience. The apartment was impeccably clean and well-maintained, making for a very comfortable stay. Its location is incredibly convenient, being just a short walk from the train station, which made exploring the surrounding areas a breeze. Esmeralda, the host, was exceptionally kind and welcoming. She went out of her way to ensure that I had everything I needed and provided great recommendations for local attractions and dining options. While the area is generally safe, it can feel a bit less lively at night. However, I never felt unsafe and found that taking standard precautions was more than sufficient. A tip for fellow travelers: make sure to visit Spezialità, Focacceria Bistrò. Their focaccia is absolutely delicious and a must-try when you're in La Spezia. Overall, I highly recommend Casa Esmeralda for anyone visiting La Spezia. It's a great base for exploring the region, and Esmeralda's hospitality truly makes it a standout choice.

United KingdomEsmeralda was a fantastic friendly host and made the stay at Casa Esmeralda a wonderful one. The apartment is neatly decorated, stylish touches throughout (beautiful bathroom) and the bed was super comfortable. I felt very safe inside the apartment and I liked how you can lock the door to the dressing room / bathroom / bedroom. A cute terrace to enjoy also.

United StatesWe rented two of Esmeralda's apartments for a family/friends trip. We would rate 15 stars if we could. Esmeralda was the sweetest and warmest host ever and she went out of her way to make sure that our stay was enjoyable. Communication was excellent from beginning to end. The apartments were absolutely beautiful, so well designed and had every amenity we could possibly want. Location was an easy walk to the train station, great restaurants and shopping. We highly recommend staying at Casa Esmeralda and hope to be able to return for another visit.

AustraliaIf you’re a light sleeper and sleeping on the sofa bed in the lounge room, although there is frosted glass on the window, you may still be bothered by the streetlight.
Esmeralda was so sweet and lovely. She was very helpful with answering any questions we had. She provides daily cleaning where she refills water, croissants and biscuits. It was the best feeling coming back to a freshly cleaned and fully stocked place. The location is good as it is close to the train station and a 10-15 min walk to restaurants, shops and the main town centre. The supermarket was a few doors down. Although the train station was close and you could hear the trains pass, it did not affect our sleep. We felt safe as there was extra security with a gate in front of the front door.

We also received a lot of information for the area as well as restaurant recommendations, which we happily used! A supermarket is 50m away and the train station about 7min by walk. We would definitely come back

We are on a 3 month Europe trip and this was the best place we have stayed! Esmeralda is so kind and offers many recommendations in the area. She is available at any time to help with anything! She went above and beyond cleaning the place each morning and leaving waters every day! The pull out bed was even really comfortable!! Wish we didn’t have to leave her place! Next time I am in the area will definitely be booking with her again!

Everything. Located near the train station and very close to the supermarket. The apartment was clean. Is very modern and equipped with all the necessary things. We traveled with a 6-month-old baby and a cot was provided. The bed was one of the best - we slept as babies. The best part was the host. She is the best host you can find in La Spezia. Every day she cleaned, always left us something to snack on, helped us with recommendations, answered us at all times, and always provided help. We recommend this location

She made us feel very welcome. The apartment is a 10 minute walk from the train station, which was perfect for us. There is a supermarket close by.
