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 KingdomIf you have mobility issues than I would make sure you booked the lower rooms as the stairs could be a problem to some. Room had a small fridge but I think in the future they should possibly replace this as they weren't effective in cooling but it's a very minor thing. Fresh filtered water is available everyday so plenty to drink.
Lovely stay, staff helpful and welcoming. We arrived very early and could drop off our bags and have a little walk around bologna, then returned for coffee. Accommodation typical of bologna properties. If you want ultra modern rooms etc then don't stay in the centre of bologna,go find a new build/hotel on the outskirts of Bologna but you will miss out on the experience of what makes this city great. Our room was quiet and comfortable, plenty of hot water for shower after a long day walking around. Light breakfast available in the morning don't expect a hotel continental breakfast as Italians don't have a large breakfast. What was available was perfect for our needs. Namy was lovely and went out of her way to be helpful and arranged are stay well.

Exceptional staff. Manager Namy super helpful with directions and ideas on what to do. Fluent in Italian, French and English. Good a/c. Large window offered pleasant roof top views and a breeze. Wholesome breakfast of fresh fruit, juice, cereal and fresh baked cakes and pastries. Excellent location only a few minutes' walk to central plaza and cathedral. Totally safe walking in the evening.

United KingdomThe room was too small for the bed. The bed was very comfortable. I think the cupboards could go and replaced with a clothing rail to create more room. This wound also mean you could get the chest of drawers over to the plug And then the kettle could be plugged in. At the moment you have to move the kettle over to the plug. It’s a bit inconvenient. Could also do with a bit of oil on the hinges and maybe a draft excluder on the doors so they close a bit softer. Apart from that it’s lovely.

PolandPoor choice of non-sweet snacks during the breakfast. Uncomfortable bed and very hard pillows, after one night my whole body hurt. Fortunately, there were more soft additional pillows. Poor Internet connection. Also, there was no table, so for a business trip it might be not a good variant.
I like the localization (15 minutes from the railway station, 2 minutes from the main square, good restaurants and bars nearby), the staff were very friendly and helpful, a spacious quiet room for a solo traveler.

United StatesWiring of Electric outlets was dangerously exposed. Street noise was very loud due to the super thin windows – – even when they were closed. Bedding on the beds was not of natural materials, and was therefore very hot. The shared bathroom which we had been told was used only for workshops was in fact, used by both Namy and her husband, and was not well cleaned. The door to the small room between the living room, and our bedroom was frequently left open, compromising our privacy.
The location is absolutely wonderful. The hostess – – Namy – – was very nice. She also prepared a lovely breakfast.

United StatesThere were some problems with the room, although the owners welcomed my comments, and used my suggestions as opportunities to fix the things that needed attention.
The owners extended many kindnesses to me, and accommodated my specific needs. Nicola even anticipated my needs and made sure they were covered. When I brought problems to their attention, they gave me very helpful explanations and used my suggestions as opportunities to fix the things that needed attention. Wonderful location within easy walking distance of the major attractions in the city center and great nearby restaurants. Delicious, authentic cappuccino at breakfast. Cozy B&B.

BulgariaEverything was great.
The B&B is in the perfect location: a secluded place away from the crowds and noise, two block away from Piazza Maggiore, one straight line (around 1km) to Bologna Centrale. Amazing restaurants and cafés surrounding the B&B. Our quadruple room had a small kitchen equipped for quick meals, which was quite convenient for us. Nicola is a super host: always available, highly responsive, and focus to give the best experience to their customers. Highly recommended!

TurkeyHowever, cleanliness needs a bit more attention, and breakfast, while basic, could benefit from a wider variety and better quality. We opted for local cafes for breakfast to soak in the city vibe.
Recently stayed at Cristina Rossi B&B in Bologna, an unbeatable location right off Piazza Maggiore – the perfect hub for exploring the city. The staff, especially Namy, was fantastic, offering friendly service and great local tips.
