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.).

PhilippinesA few things not working, such as the main lift, the bar terrace closed. Wifi was a little patchy. Only big grumble was no complimentary drinking water in the room. But nothing major. It was rather expensive, a five star price in any other city - paying for location no doubt.
The locanda has a spectacular location facing San Giorgio Maggiore and the entrance to the Grand Canal next door to the Vivaldi church of the Pieta. I was given possibly the best room in the place, a corner room looking out onto the whole lagoon vista. The interior is in a plush classic style, typically Venetian. The room itself was beautifully decorated in a sort of Baroque style and had electric blinds for privacy. The bathroom was beautiful too. Breakfast was very simple in a cramped room down below. There is a bar terrace but that was closed for renovation of some kind. Staff were young and helpful throughout. Loved the Vivaldi themed soaps in the bathroom.

United Arab EmiratesNormally hotels keep a complimentary bottle of water in the rooms which were not kept & a hot kettle to make tea/coffee would be much appreciated. Also, the hotel didn’t have a kitchen so no room service was available.
The view ofcourse. It was phenomenal to wake up to the wonderful views of the canal. This is the biggest plus point of the property.

MaltaLocation is just perfect, just across the ferry to take you to the other islands. St Mark square is pretty much close aswell. It's easy to get lost around the labyrinth style of little alleys around Venice, which that's what makes it special. So having your hotel close to St Mark square is a bonus, cause all streets lead to it.

AustraliaLoved this little hotel, the location is a very short walk from St. Mark's Square & overlooking St. Mark's basin. The room was clean, and service exceptional (call out to restaurant staff as nothing was too much trouble). The rooftop terrace is lovely for drinks, with the perfect view & people watching.

United KingdomThis is not at all a complaint but it might be helpful at breakfast to have the options written either on a card in the bedrooms or on the breakfast tables. The options were read out to us one at a time and we were invited to choose as they were read out without knowing the full range of options first. There also seemed to be confusion occasionally (with other guests) as to whether breakfast was included or not and some options included cooked breakfast. However the breakfast staff were very helpful, and tried to solve any needs that arose. It could be also helpful to know whether coffee or beverages are available during the day for residents. These are in no way complaints and we enjoyed our time in Venice very much.
The location is excellent for our needs being a short walk into the main sights in one direction and a lovely peaceful area of Venice in the other. Also close to main Vaporetti stops. The breakfast was as described and there was plenty of choice and variety. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spotlessly cleaned every day and ours had a beautiful view. The shutters kept out a lot of noise and kept the room shady when needed. The staff were very helpful if needed, but not obtrusive. Reception are happy to organise a taxi or water transport if needed, and to book a meal at any of their hotels for residents . The rooftop restaurant views are amazing and we had lovely meal with family up there with excellent friendly service. We enjoyed our stay very much.
