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.).

FranceHotel very well located for visiting Ferrara, a stone's throw from the Castello Estense. Parking is available a few streets up. The staff are very welcoming. Copious breakfast in a very pleasant room.

United StatesThe room feels a little on the old side, but at the same time this is expected in Ferrara, and the room was more so quaint, clean, and comfy.
Breakfast was great. They make cappuccino for you at request and there was a nice selection of pastries and meats.

ItalyNo easy to reach plug close to the writing desk. Window was covered by a drape. I could not figure out how to raise it. Could add nuts and seeds to the breakfast buffet.
Specially warm personal touch from the staff. Excellent location, close to any point of interest (except the railway station, which is on the outskirts of the city). Ample and varied breakfast buffet, with above average hand-made cappuccino.

United KingdomWhat a beautiful place to stay! We especially liked the art (original paintings, ceramics and sculptures) and the various books on the art in and around Ferrara. Our room was beautiful and there was so much attention to detail. Room service was available and we were able to order a warm drink and a snack which was very welcome. Andrea was the perfect host, very knowledgeable and so kind. He had very helpful suggestions regarding parking and he stored our luggage for us so we could explore Ferrara on foot. The breakfast was exceptional. Freshly made spinach and ricotta tart, a tomato and cheese savoury, various pastries, various cereals, nuts, yoghurt, fresh fruit salad, prunes, ham, cheese, various fruit juices and freshly made cappuccinos. Just wonderful. Thank you so much, from Andrew and Clare.

AustraliaLocation was amazing, just a few minutes walk to Este Castle and town center. We stayed in the Anex room (family of 4) and the room was very spacious, had a kitchen (no oven) but we'll equipped with new pots and pans, cutlery etc. bathroom was huge and great shower. Breakfast was also superb with homemade cakes and biscuits. We really loved our stay at Hotel de Prati and would highly recommend it.

United KingdomThe tiniest of quibbles: I always prefer a bar of soap to shower gels, but that's just me being old fashioned!
I was very warmly welcomed when I arrived in the evening and a slightly flickery lightbulb I mentioned was replaced before I got back from dinner. My single room was a good size and with a decent desk and a very comfortable bed; it was immaculately clean. The street was pleasantly quiet, although at the absolute centre of the city. The breakfast room was very attractively decorated and the provision was varied and good. There was a range of gluten-free options. Throughout my stay enjoying Ferrara in an increasingly cold week I knew I would come home to a cosy place and a kindly greeting. The Christmas tree was lovely too! A model lesson in how the personal touch makes all the difference in business.

IsraelThis is the best hotel I've ever stayed in, period, and I have had my fair share of the Marriotts and the Hiltons of this world. It is not only perfect all around -- everything is well thought of, equipment is high quality, breakfast is rich and diversified -- but also grant you with a HUMAN experience, thanks to the charming, helpful and noble family who owns and runs the place. You just feel their whole hearted efforts in each and every moment of your stay in the hotel. They are truly phenomenal at what they do, and deserve every word of praise.
