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.).

CanadaThis is a gem of a hotel, an oasis that's a close walk to the train station. Large room, well laid out bathroom with exceptional shower. Gorgeous view from the roof and great to start and end the day there with breakfast and sunset. Excellent meals at Diana's Place restaurant next door in a lovely setting with great service.

Very clean with very comfortable facilities and excellent staff. A lovely roof top bar and dinning area, excellent breakfast included and the breakfast staff were fantastic. We were also given upgraded rooms when we arrived. An excellent location for visiting the centre of Rome.

The staff at the hotel was specially nice and friendly. The breakfast was good and we also had dinner and it was very good. Especially the "pinsa". The hotel is in a short walking distance from Termini station for the Train and Metro. There is a direct train from the FCO airport to Termini station and it takes only 32 min. Easy to use the Metro and also possible to walk to the Colosseo and Spanish steps and Fontana Trevi. You can take the Metro to visit the Vatican City.

United StatesThis was our second time staying with you. We were surprised this time we weren’t able to sit outside at the rooftop bar and have a drink as everything was reserved. We did not have that issue last time. Also the air conditioning was awful. Very warm for sleeping which we didn’t have that issue last time either
We love the location and staff

United StatesLittle far from the main attractions and the proximity to a train station is not a good landscape to see.
The hotel is very well located just some meters from the train station. The view of the bar / restaurant was very nice and good relation to a near restaurant.

United KingdomDouble bed was two singles put together and both me and my partner returned from the trip with really sore necks/ backs. Rooms were soundproofed from the street, however the noise in the hallways meant that you couldn’t have a lie in, in the mornings
Rooftop terrace was great and we had our own private balcony with city views which was excellent, couldn’t fault the location. Nespresso Coffee in room was lovely as was the free minibar which we didn’t realise was complimentary as we were told only the water was free.
