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.).

Mrs
United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like.
Excellent attention from the owner, he provided full details of travel from the airport and met us at the waterbus. He helped with the luggage and gave a running commentary as we walked to the apartment. The apartment met every expectation, lovely furnishings and constant hot water. He provided great detail on all aspects of Venice and answered emails by return. We, as a family, highly recommend this apartment. Thank you

United KingdomNothing. Shower could’ve been more powerful but didn’t impact on our holiday.
The host was incredible and communicated really well prior to our visit and during. He was so accommodating and ensured we had the best time from the moment we arrived. There were little extras such as Prosecco, cake, tea and coffee etc which really makes all the difference. He met us at the water taxi and looked after our bags and called us once the room was ready, he then allowed us to keep our luggage in the property on day of departure as we had a later flight! Really was fabulous!

AustriaI would just say, having also a pregnant wife, just missing a sofa! After long distance walking tours around the city, all we were missing was a sofa! As a recommendation for the future!
EVERYTHING!! The location? The house? The host? Everything was just perfect! Felt like home! Mr Paolo God bless you! As we arrived late, he was waiting for us to show us the house, constantly texting us since our booking confirmation with all the important details, offering us in his apartment not only a bottle of Prosecco and water but also nobles to combine it! When the time comes, we will definitely come back!!

AustriaDelighted to share my experience at this charming holiday apartment in Venice! The location is truly outstanding, just a stone's throw away from St. Mark's Square, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The apartment itself is a delightful blend of elegance and authenticity, with well-preserved original features that enhance its charm. A special mention goes to our host, Paolo, whose warm hospitality made our stay exceptional. Paolo was not only accommodating but also went the extra mile to provide valuable insights into the best places to visit in Venice. His friendliness and helpful advice added a personal touch to our holiday, making it truly memorable. I highly recommend this wonderful apartment for a perfect Venetian getaway!

Location was great and close to everything. Very spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped and washer/dryer was a plus. Paolo was amazing and so helpful. He gave us many suggestions of “must sees” in Venice and even made arrangements for us during the transportation strike to ensure we could make our next destination. Would definitely stay again.

Great location near a main waterbus stop. Very close to St Mark’s, etc. But quiet and safe. Very well equipped apartment with everything you could possibly need. Great to have use of the washing machine and dryer. Modern and very clean. Great hairdryer. Felt very at home in the apartment. But perhaps best of all was the host, Paolo, who very kindly met us after our arrival was delayed because of missing a train connection. He then gave us lots of recommendations of places to visit and restaurants. He provided more advice during our stay and was just so lovely and helpful.

United StatesThis isn’t a criticism, just advice for ppl who stay there. Use the washer and dryer separately or they will trip the electricity if used at the same time. The dryer has a drawer that collects water that you have to empty at least once per load (new to us from the US) . To be safe, I would not do laundry the night before leaving.
Paolo was the best host we have ever had. Attentive, answers all questions immediately on whatsapp. Make us dinner reservations. Gave us a ton of recommendations. Left a delicious breakfast pie. Honestly he is amazing. Apt is comfortable and clean and spacious. In a great location.

United StatesNot one thing.
We loved everything about the apartment. The location was perfect, close to all the places we wanted to see, yet tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Our host Paolo was exceptional; from my initial email contact, to meeting us at the waterbus station and taking us to the apartment, to making us feel comfortable. He helped us resolve a problem with an unexpected change in our travel plans. Like someone said, Paolo was as much a friend as he was a gracious host.

United StatesThere was nothing that we did not like. The only thing that occurred was a power breaker shut off. The owner had warned us and showed us how to reset. This was not a problem and it occurred only once. Basically you cannot have multiple AC units running while you use another high power appliance like clothes dryer running at the same time. No issue here. Just turn the AC off while you use the clothes dryer, and turn it back on once your clothes are done. It is to be expected as the building was built way before people had all these appliances. Some may find it annoying, but it is really nothing.
The owner Paolo went out of his way to establish communication with us long before our arrival. This made us more than comfortable with staying here. He met us at the ferry drop off and walked us to the property as well as gave us historical facts of the architecture and the city along the way. He availed himself for recommendations of restaurants, transportation and almost any service that you could think of. The apartment far exceeded expectations and we were surprised by our welcome gift. It had a washer, dryer that really were appreciated. The unit has been nicely renovated and has all the amenities that you could want. There was a full size kitchen and while we did not use it, the dishwasher really made clean up of glasses and dishes stress free. Location is close to Piazza San Marco and the main sites.

I loved everything. Its exactly what you see, read and later experience. The location is top, quick and easy to reach, the house is a wonderful super clean, tidy, venetian house with everything you´ll need, trust me. I have seen some 5 star hotels, but would not trade a day for this house. And then there´s the host, Paolo is a beautiful human being. I went for a short vacation and gained a friend. Paolo started helping before I even started travelling, then helped with everything during the stay, always available, always there for you. I can´t say enough. Truly wondeful experience. Listen to his advice.
