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.).

SwitzerlandThe light was coming through the windows early morning and it would have been good to have some blinds... or light blocking curtains...but I am not sure if we just did not see them.
The host was really lovely. Breakfast was great and the little terrace was a beautiful gem in such a crowded city. Quiet and tranquil.

United KingdomThe hospitality of the host Maria was outstanding. Very welcoming and extremely helpful with fantastic recommendations both for sights to see in the city and restaurants offering the most tasteful Milanese food and culture. Brilliant accommodation and location too everything you needed, within walking distance to the sights and a metro station on your doorstep…just perfect. Will definately be back and highly recommend.

Mariagrazia's welcome was outstanding. She truly lives next door which makes the check-in procedures literally more convivial than in other B&Bs. the room is in located in the courtyard of a 'casa di ringhiera', a very typical Milanese building but increasingly rare in this part of town; the location of the structured is excellent, on a semi pedestrianized street next to Porta Venezia, so right into one the coolest corners in town and with easy access to all others. all this at a price beating any other hotel around; breakfast freshly made by Mariagrazia herself. a casa di gioia is more than recommanded

United StatesEverything was wonderful.
This is such a beautiful little place. It's right on a busy main street in Milan, but you go through the doors and you're in the most lovely green courtyard. There is a tiny elevator to get to the second floor. Our room was small but nicely furnished. The hostess was super sweet and welcoming, even though our flight got in pretty late. The air conditioning was wonderful and the shower was excellent. The location is in an area that is not very touristy, although 20 feet from a metro station, so everything was a quick trip. There are lots of affordable restaurants nearby. I'd definitely stay here again.

United KingdomIf you’re looking for an atmospheric, friendly place to stay in the heart of Milan, look no further than Gioia House. Tucked away behind a door on a bustling pedestrianised cobbled street, the property is found in a quiet corner of a plant lined courtyard. Our room was large, comfortable and beautifully decorated, with a range of L’occitane toiletries. A breakfast consisting of home made cakes, frittata, Parmesan and local cured meats was served outside on a terrace that felt like eating at Nonna’s. The most special thing about our experience was our wonderful host, Mariagrazia, who radiated warmth and charm and couldn’t do enough to make our stay feel special. Would go again in heartbeat - suggest you do too.

DenmarkThe listing confused us a bit - when booking we thought that it was with private parking, but you have to park in one of the big parking houses and walk for a bit. Not a big problem and the host can guide you.
Very cosy and comfortable place - host is very nice and welcoming, she also recommended a great restaurant. The location is great and the rooms and common areas are well designed. We would strongly consider going here again.
