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 reviewLocation was fantastic - a beautiful view outside! The hosts were very accomodating and helpful, especially when we had noise issues with our neighbours - the apartment upstairs also managed by the same host (the host refunded 50% of our night’s accomodation as compensation). Roberto was also very kind and provided a local pass to obtain discounts during our stay.
The apartment is musky and very cold. The ventilation is an issue. The noise from the apartment upstairs was an issue - you can hear the other guests walking, moving furniture which is very loud in the apartment below.

Verified reviewThe location was lovely, above town and away from the tourists.
The room has a little bit of a musty smell due to the location/built into the mountain. It was not so easy to keep the windows/door open due to people walking past.

Verified reviewWe absolutely loved our stay here, photos match exactly the description - the view out of the window is beautiful. We had to spend a whole day in the apartment as there was a storm coming through and we got to see it all from the comfort of the couch, it was really nice. The room is beautiful and had really nice lighting, shower size was good and Roberto kindly met us and accompanied us to the apartment (note it feels like a bit of a hike the first time, but I promise it's worth it!!)
The kitchen needs a bit more in terms of utensils to cook, plus tea towels/cloths and cleaning supplies - specially if you're intending to use the kitchen. The bed was soft on one side and hard on the other (2 different mattresses together) however this might be useful if you prefer one or the other.

Verified reviewBeautiful view. Very clean. Rock walls in bedroom were unique.
Futon/couch not too comfy, perhaps an update would help. No towel racks to hang towels.

Verified reviewThe hosts were amazing. Roberto was there to guide us to the room and show us around. The view right outside the apartment was surreal and completely exceeded my expectations from any pictures posted on here.
The path to the apartment was slightly steep which may be difficult for some people. However, it is 100% worth the effort to stay here.

Verified reviewApartment is situated in a great location overlooking the harbor. Roberto, who manages our initial arrival and subsequently checked in at various points of our three nights to make sure all was okay, was responsive, attentive, and pleasant. Although the apartment opens up to the public walkway, the walkway is a sweet gathering spot for approximately six apartments and serves as a quiet passage that leads to an isolated terrace that overlooks the sea. We would return, either to this apartment or to one of the other apartments associated with this host and greeter.

Verified reviewThe location is fabulous and for Manarola the apartment was spacious. Owner was very responsive, kind and helpful. View is so spectacular. There is an uncrowded public terrace about 20 yards from apartment and it’s perfect to bring a snack or cocktail to for a nice sunset view.
The couch/futon in living room was not very comfortable.

Verified reviewDespite my train was delayed for 2 hours, the host representative came to meet me near the train station. Commanding view of the sea from outside of my apartment
Insufficient heating in the bedroom and bathroom. The floor was cold and the host could have provided slippers. Bath soaps cakes and shampoo gel in packets could have been replaced by shower gel in bottles

Verified reviewLovely host who met us and showed us the easiest way, avoiding steps. Exceeds the small photo on booking.com as there was a large dining space as well as a generously-sized bedroom. Host could not have been more helpful. Really good communication and the fact Andrea speaks such good English made everything easy. Wonderful location - the excellent location wasn't really mentioned in the ad but you're right at the front of Manarola with access onto a walkway right outside with fantastic views. It's not a private terrace but you can go outside in seconds to photograph the sunset over the sea etc. Stylish and very roomy for two people.
Dear Deborah, thank you very much for your time writing this amazing review and for all the congratulations. I'm so happy you had experienced a memorable stay on my apartment and i can't wait to accomodate you again here in Pepita.
