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 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.).

United KingdomThe drinks and food at the hotel were very expensive, it drove us away from the hotel and to other establishments during the evening/afternoons when we would have like to stay. Also the bar furniture was looking a bit tired. Ripped armchairs etc
The hotel is very beautiful, staff attentive and a calm oasis away from the mania of Venice

DenmarkEating and drinking at the hotel is expensive - but you have the option to boarder the shuttle boat (included in the rate) and find cheaper options Minor things, but part of the difference between “9” and “10” was that soap etc was not replaced when empty The balcony could have been better used with 2 outdoor chairs On sustainability, I suggest the lightening should not be put on after cleaning during the day and that towels should not be replacement when not on the floor On the face of it, a great arrangement with a vendor for a boat trip to Murano and Burano, as suggested by the concierge, but I suggest that you in stead book a non-vendor tour or just jump on/off the local ferry (you have to find your way back in any event and you would have seen more of the islands)
Perfect location , great facilities and a beautiful hotel I upgraded to a room with balcony and sea view, which was fantastic Excellent every half-hour shuttle boat to St Marco Staff was on top of things and very kind and service minded - across restaurants/bar, pool area , reception and concierge. You feel at home and appreciated

United StatesWere are no sunbeds on the beach. The only way to have them is to rent the beach cabanas, but the price is 395 euro per day, that we're finding is way to expensive.
The breakfast was amazing. They had everything that you could think of plus Prosecco. The room was very big and nice. They have free boat shuttle to Venice and back many times per day.The beach and pool were amazing as well. We would definitely stay in this hotel again.

United KingdomThe bathrooms could do with a little upgrade, but perhaps it’s part of the charm of the hotels heritage. Non complimentary water, tea and coffee in the room was a shame given the cost, would have been very welcome rather than having to pay extra for standard basics.
A beautiful hotel, old school Hollywood glam with its film festival connections, and an amazing location right on the beach. Stunning views from our sea view room, lovely size room, spacious and very clean. The pool and terrace areas are beautiful, lots of space and places to relax. Food is great, all of the staff around the hotel are super helpful and friendly and go out of their way to ensure you have a great stay. Breakfast is plentiful and eating outside is a great way to start the day. The free boat service to and from Venice is an excellent perk of the stay, the boats are beautiful and it’s magical to pull into San Marco or back to the hotel dock. There really is no where else to stay if you’d like some relaxing time as well as a city break. We’ll definitely return!

Czech Republiceven though the season hadn't started yet, the hotel was quite busy and the restaurant capacity was quite small
the incredible atmosphere of more than a century that this building has experienced, the beautifully renovated rooms, the sea view rooms have a breathtaking view, the sea is clean, the pool is heated and the half hourly shuttle to San Marco makes the Excelsior the best place in Venice, the restaurant is very good It was my about 20th stay in Venice and combined with a very exceptional Biennale the best. Thank you to room service manager Adriana for the great service and help.

United KingdomThe plumbing in the rooms means that the shower temp is not constant. The main issue is the organisation of the staff in the terrace restaurant/ bar/snack bar area. They are nice and friendly but very poorly organised. Everything takes too long and you have to sit and wait to get any sort of service. The attendants at the pool area are more interested in playing on their phones than looking after the guests. When you arrive it’s like you are inconveniencing them. No smile, no willingness, very poor. Not what you would expect from this quality of hotel.
The hotel is beautiful. The location is great. It is old but has been maintained to a very high standard. Our rooms were very nice indeed if a little old fashioned. The shuttle boat to and from Venice is excellent. The check in and concierge service is also very good. The food served in the restaurant is of good quality.
