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 KingdomIt was a bit confusing as to how to get to the property and a bit convoluted with different elevators and narrow passage. Would not be suitable for people with limited mobility.
Very clean and central to all the city and port. Staff very friendly. Breakfast good.

Very good stay in the heart of Genoa. The hotel is conveniently located near Principe train station, close to metro and bus stations, within walking distance to Porto Antico and main attractions. While the rooms are nothing fancy, they are very clean and comfortable, with air-conditioning. Nice and cosy breakfast area - sweet and savory breakfast options. Lovely staff. Do not be put off by less positive ratings of the area - the hotel is located in a rather busy and well-lit street. I travelled with my teen daughter and did not feel unsafe. Totally recommend!

SwedenVery hard bed! First night we only had one pillow each, but upon request they gave us one more each so problem solved. Very thin walls and door to the hallway. Luckily, we only had problems with noisy neighbours one night, and they weren't even that noisy. Did miss a kettle. When we got the room the toilet seat was cracked, but weird they didn't notice when cleaning. But even tho we forgot to mention this they fixed it for us the next day with a brand new seat! Well done!

United KingdomVery difficult to regulate and maintain the water temperature whilst showering. This may be due to demand in the morning so we showered later in the day.
Continental breakfast with reasonable choice. Certainly value for money. Spacious light junior suite. Comfortable beds. Lovely friendly staff. Very clean. Lift from via Balbi up to reception thank goodness (and another to rooms) Good position near main station and 15 minute walk to city centre, 5+ minutes down to port, lift next to hotel up to next level.
