How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewSo, so clean! This family owned hotel is superb! The owners are fantastic and genuinely enjoy engaging with travellers. The breakfast was the best we have ever seen: huge assortment, beautifully presented, smiles from staff and a gluten free basket of goodies for the coeliac in our family! We can’t recommend highly enough!
Nothing; it was exceptional!

Water pressure on the 3rd floor could have been better.

Verified reviewThe hotel is right by the sea, surrounded by cafes and shops. You can go to many places on foot. I flew in early in the morning, but they were already waiting for me. They gave me a room and I didn't have to wait 2 pm to check in. Very bright and cozy room, cleaned every day. Delicious breakfast and lovely Italian atmosphere.
Everything was great.
Grazie Inesa. Alla prossima occasione Donatella e Diego

Verified reviewIncredibly wonderful family hotel owned by Diego and Donatella. One of the warmest experiences we have had this summer Jun 28 - July 2 among our 3 trips in total to Italy since this year) The room was very clean and comfortable with air conditioning, breakfast was always excellent. However, the most appreciation goes to Diego and Donatella, who made the stay really warm. Their kindness and attention to detail made us feel right at home. Diego even offered bicycles, allowing us to enjoy a lovely evening ride. Really enjoyed every day staying in that place and would return here for the next stay in Rimini.
Hi Andrii, thanks a lot for all your kind words. We really appreciate that and we wish you the very best.

I highly recommend everyone! I’m so happy, with everything there! That is gold place! I promise! Thank you!!!

Verified reviewLocation, a very good Barbiani family ,our son still remembers the hotel owner.
The shower head needs to be replaced and the toilet drain needs to be repaired as it was leaking, and I wanted a bigger refrigerator, and sometimes the neighbors upstairs were noisy. Otherwise everything is fine
Hello Ihar, we are pleased to read your feedback. It was nice to have you, but let me clarify one thing: as you told us about the issue with the lights in the bathroom during your stay here, and we were able to fix, it would have been helpful to know you needed also a new shower head or that the toilete drain was leaking. We didn't know about it and we are sorry if that caused any significant problem.

Nothing everything was great. Only thing is maybe a bigger tv in the room but that is minor.

Verified reviewI liked that it is not directly on the beach, but in a quiet side small street. The host was very nice, absolutely professional, the way she treats guests should be taught. I liked that there was always music playing in the hall and reception. The breakfast was delicious, I did not experience any noise from the neighboring rooms, which many people complained about in the reviews. I felt very comfortable here.
The shower could be a little more spacious. Or I should lose weight. :-)

Hi Lars. Thanks a lot for your kind words, we were very pleased to have you here. Just one thing: we have the air conditioning in every room. which is included in the prize you payed, so we actually don't know what was the issue here, but nontheless do not hesitate to tell us next time!

Verified reviewStaying at Hotel Barbiani was a great experience. From the first minute of entering we felt welcomed. The owner and her son are delightful people, very accommodating. For the staff, a big thanks! Our room was on the 2nd floor. It was super clean, we had a mini fridge inside, comfortable beds, clean linens and towels, toiletries, tv, AC, a small balcony with two chairs. The proximity of the hotel to the beach was important for us and it was fulfilled. The breakfast was a buffet and you could for sure find something for everyone (different breads, marmalade, cheese, ham, boiled eggs, butter, olives, some veggies and fruits, pastries, etc). Overall we were impressed with the staff, the cleaning and the food for a hotel with not so many stars. I would put an extra virtual one to it.😊
Actually I liked everything. The only thing I could think about is the noise in the morning, with other hotel guests waking up very early (doors shutting, dogs barking, etc), but this is something we expected because we know that many Italian buildings are not well sound proofed. Knowing this and that this could happen literally in any Italian hotel, it should not be taken as a negative aspect.

Verified reviewdecent price for a week stay but its a bit struggle to get to the central location where more pubs and other establishments are situated
the cleanliness
hi Jill! thanks for the review. Unfortunately, sometimes we fail to meet the expectations of our guests and we struggle to understand why. We can try to improve the cleanliness of the hotel rooms, however considered by most of our guests to be welcoming and very clean, but we certainly cannot change the location! Ours is a quiet area especially at the end of the season and we are sorry when the customer chooses a place that does not suit his needs. Best regards Donatella e Diego
