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 reviewThe hotel enjoys a superb location, placing you within easy walking distance of Rome’s most iconic attractions, perfect for exploring the city on foot. From the moment we arrived, Luisa, our host, made us feel genuinely welcome. She was not only incredibly kind but also exceptionally helpful, going out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Despite the intense summer heat during our visit, the air conditioning throughout the property both in the rooms and communal areas functioned exceptionally well, providing a much-needed refuge after long days of sightseeing. The hotel itself is tastefully decorated, with a refined and elegant interior that beautifully reflects the charm of Roman hospitality. Every detail, from the furnishings to the ambient lighting, contributes to a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The only minor inconvenience was the elevator it’s quite old and operates a bit clumsily. That said, given that the hotel is housed within a charming historic building, this is entirely understandable and in no way detracted from the overall experience.

Verified reviewThe hostess was absolutely terrific. So nice and accommodating. She really made the stay great. Enjoyed the effort made to decorate and make the space comfortable.
Traffic by the street was loud as was the doors when other rooms would close their doors. Had a tough time getting good restful sleep.

Verified reviewThe property was well-maintained, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere throughout our stay. The location was excellent—just a short walk from the Vatican, which made sightseeing incredibly convenient. The surrounding area also had plenty of cafes, restaurants, and shops, adding to the overall experience. The staff were exceptional—friendly, helpful, and professional. Check-in was quick and seamless, which made our arrival stress-free.
Unfortunately, during the last two days of our stay, the elevator stopped working, which was quite inconvenient. We had to carry all of our luggage down several stairs, which was especially difficult and tiring. This unexpected issue definitely impacted the overall experience and was disappointing, particularly at the end of an otherwise enjoyable stay.

Verified reviewThis is our second time staying here and we are never going anywhere else! The staff is so kind and helpful, and the location is close to the main sights but gets very quiet at night. We always feel safe walking around and the rooms are very comfortable. Cannot recommend enough!
Nothing I didn’t like, just a tip that if you request two beds on booking.com make sure to message the property about it as well
