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.).

Argentina- Bathroom wasn’t so clean - When I arrived for check in I was notified that the room was a little more expensive that what it was published at booking. This should be told in advance.
- The area in which the place is located has a really nice view of the city. - Bedroom was comfortable

United KingdomThe use of the Aircon was an extra €10 fee and you couldn't sleep without it in the 38°c heat of summer. In addition, the fuse went in the middle of the night, waking us up as the room became unbearably hot. We were essentially told that it was because we had the Aircon on all night that the fuse went, but we weren't told to do otherwise. Unlike previous reviews and pictures, the breakfast was just a piece of shop bought bread and a toastie maker for cripsy toast and a coffee machine. Since finding out she is an ex judge on Italian MasterChef it made the lack of breakfast extremely lacklustre. The host was nice but the whole stay felt extremely impersonal, like we were treading on toes as opposed to being welcomed and taught the culinary and cultural fascinations of Genoa and Sri Lanka as it says in the host's description.
Nice location meant we saw some places we wouldn't have otherwise if we stayed nearer Genoa. lovely decor clearly derived from the host's Sri Lankan heritage.

Czech RepublicWe were 3 - 2x adults and a teenager, so we booked a room, but finally it was discovered there is just 1x bed. How come property allows to book such apartment for 3x ppl? And location.... don't consider it, if you don't have a car or motorcycle. On the map is looks so close but it is on the same hill and you have to climb up.
Laxmi was really nice and cooperative. Property was clean.

SpainThe only minor inconvenience is that the doors are a bit bad at isolating noise in the house so you will hear when anyone wakes up and goes to the bathroom/kitchen area if you like waking up late rather than early. Other than that it was very good and we got some good sleep.
Laxmi is a very nice and very kind host, the room was very spacious and beautiful as well as the viewings it offers. It is a very comfortable room with a nice window in a very rustic setting, yet close to the city center. Additionally Laxmi is a very good cook who was constantly offering us homemade Indian food such as cake, rotis, parathas...In addition to the breakfast, which is included. She can also make an Indian dinner banquet for you if you ask in advance, Which is very authentic. WE EVEN SAW SHEEP FROM OUR WINDOW!!! It also has a terrace with an amazing view that Genoa offers and you can have some wine while watching the sunset.

MoldovaThe place is not easy to find, walking way to the hotel was difficult, despite the close location to the centre. I am not sure that the staff always can be found. No TV, I saw only one common bathroom which was occupied the long time.
It's a big flat arranged in a hotel. The hotel is good, clean and quiet. The room is big and decorated with national indian carpets. WiFi good. Fair price.

SloveniaLocation is really far away on the hill and it is very hard to find a free parking place. Breakfast was really poor. We had to pay extra 10 EUR due to check-in after 8 pm (it is written under booking info). Be careful of wild boars, we have seen them near apartment.
Owner was friendly.

GermanyLaxmi Guesthouse B&B is located on a hill above the town, which guarantees fresh air and a spectacular view at night (check the picture below) as well as some sweaty climbs during the day, depending on the weather conditions - there is free parking nearby and a bus stop in good 5-Min.-walking-distance though. The apartment itself is clean, cozy and lovely decorated. The friendly landlord provided a few must-see recommendations in Genova, but also for the surrounding villages. In total, we would recommend a stay at Laxmi's if you're a mobile person looking for a practical and fair-priced place to stay in Genova.

PolandIt's a bit far away from the city centre. There was no AC, but you can open the window and feel the Mediterranean climate :).
The view from that place was wonderful, but it was a bit far away from city centre. So if you wamt use bus you need to remember to come back before 10:30 p.m. Nevertheless, there were busses and buss stop was not very far away. That place is really high so you can enjoy the panoramic view of Genua. Bathroom was shared but it was really clean, you also have kitchen access.

ItalyYou had to walk about 150-200 meters to get to the place (not 40 meters) The coffee machine was broken and we couldn't have coffee, but I think it was an unfortunate event and it broke the same morning.
The room and the complete apartment were exceptionally clean. The host was really nice and kind Just a reccomendation, upon arrival ask where the breakfast will be so if you wake up early you can know where to go and do not have to way for the host to wake up or get out the room.
