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 KingdomThe only minor criticism was the bread could have been fresher.
We had one of the warmest hotel welcomes I’ve experienced from the highly professional and friendly, concierge, Fabrizio. Room 209 was comfortable, and clean with a reasonable air-conditioning system. As a bonus, it had a spa bath. It was equipped with a fridge. We requested a kettle which Fabrizio provided without qualm. The location, near the Vatican, was convenient for getting around Rome. A metro stop was 8 minutes walk but most of central Rome was walkable from the hotel. It had a delightful rooftop terrace for breakfast. Where swallows flew overhead, parakeets sat on surrounding buildings. Best of all a little Wagtail joined us for breakfast each morning. All in all, we would definitely return.

United KingdomRoof terrace is lovely by there is no real ‘view’, it’s just very nice. Although there is a loft there are initially stairs to it making the hotel not really suitable for those with mobility challenges.
Property is traditional Italian charm. Fantastic staff, great breakfast, rooms spotless and cool (much needed), excellent and helpful service throughout. Hotel smells lovely. Location great for Vatican visits.

United KingdomThe room initially felt a little small. Though this is mostly a moot point as I had never stayed in a city centre hotel before so was not familiar with the size of room there. For a city centre hotel I expect it was exceptional.
The terrace for breakfast was great, and it was near the Vatican as advertised and a metro station for east travel.

GermanyOur room smelled „old“. This was not the case in the rest of the hotel - but it made the room uncomfortable for us as we are sensitive to smells. Breakfast was rather basic.
Very central location. Close to Castel Sant‘Angelo and the Vatican. Good soundproofing. The streets were quite loud, but as soon as the windows were closed, the noise was almost gone. Friendly receptionist.
