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.).

They need to put a full length mirror in each room. Have a box of facial tissues and a second barrel in room.

Verified reviewbreakfast just needs a bit of imagination and more fruit (fresh) less cakes/pastries. Better local cheese, eggs and bacon (forget the sausage) makes more of the fresh rolls, cucumber/toms and other local foods. It just felt a breakfast that any hotel would do. Location was excellent and able to walk everywhere needed. Room was small but v clean.
breakfast, price was a tad high for 2-3 star.
Dear Craig, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. It's wonderful to know our team's service contributed positively to your stay and that you found your accommodations restful. Our housekeeping staff takes pride in maintaining high cleanliness standards. However, we sincerely regret any aspects of your experience fell short of expectations, particularly regarding our breakfast offering. We source fresh ingredients daily and continuously revisit our menu composition to better balance traditional and innovative options. We would also like to kindly clarify that our establishment is officially classified as a three-star hotel. Nevertheless, we're delighted that you appreciated our prime location in the Monti district. Being walking distance from major landmarks like St. Mary Major Basilica allows guests to fully immerse themselves in Rome's cultural heritage. We hope to welcome you for an improved experience in the future. Best regards, Mr Stefano Ricci, General Manager

Verified reviewThe hotel's location is very good, could walk to most of attractions, and nearby the central train/metro station which is a big advantage to take train and metro. Staff is very friendly. Although you can walk to most of attractions, we recommend not to walk into small and quiet streets which Google Map may guide you to, there may be some rogues play tricks to steal your money such as pretending to be policer or tourist etc.
WIFI is slow, to travel to Pisa for visiting Leaning Tower is tough by taking train in one day.

Verified reviewDamiano, the front desk clerk, was AMAZING! He went above and beyond to help us maximize our time in Rome. Damiano helped arrange a day trip to Pompeii, filled up our water bottles for us, called our taxis, and was just basically super helpful and always available. Damiano even got me a refund from TrenItalia when we opted for a private tour instead of taking the train. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful - cappuccinos were excellent! The breakfast staff was super nice. The rooms were clean and spacious - especially considering the size of typical European rooms. The air conditioning worked well, which was a god send because it was SO hot. The location was good, not too far from the colosseum, very close to St. Mary Maggiore, and close to the hop on/hop off bus stop. Could not recommend more!!
