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 reviewLove love love this B&B. Artfully decorated by the owners who are ex interior designers. Accommodation was in a great location, breakfast spread was fantastic and parking along the street was free.
Would have been ideal if the TV in the room was upgraded to allow us to access Netflix/ Disney or allowed us to cast from our phones.

Verified reviewBest hotel by far on our road trip around Italy. Staff was super friendly, spoke very good english. Breakfest was the best we had: mozzarella, ricotta and fresh fruits. Also you get to pet the super cute dog during your stay. Parking was easy, right infront of the hotel.

Verified reviewNice big room, comfortable bed, black outs and everything required for a comfortable sleep. The hosts were very nice and took the time to explain place to eat and see. The breakfast was very good with a wide array of things to eat. Street parking can be found around the property.
Although the place was well located, it wasn't in the heart of tourist center and some walking was required to get there. Although this was not an issue for a couple like us, single women may find it a little more intimidating. Regardless, we preferred this location as street parking was available around the hotel, which would not be the case in the historic center.

Verified reviewLocated just on the edge of the old town, and 10 mins to the roman ruins, the property is very suitable for short stays. Our room was very well furnished and equipped. The breakfast buffet was a very generous and the owners were very helpful. Curb side parking is easily available and free.
I was surprised to understand that this is a BnB and not a hotel with a staffed front desk.

Verified reviewThe room and breakfast room were lovely. The rooftop area would have been great except that the weather was so hot. The bnb was very close to the old town. The breakfast was outstanding with everything you could possibly want including 3-4 homemade cakes
The aircon in the room was adequate but struggled a little in the heat

Verified reviewLovely property with spacious rooms and large rooftop terrace. The breakfast was served in a lovely dining room and had plenty of choice. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The location is very close, easy walking distance, to the old town. Free parking is available in the nearby streets.
Everything was great, there wasn’t anything not to like.

Verified reviewThis property was exceptional. The location, the rooms, the cleanliness and the owner were amazing. The owners are interior designers from Milan and it shows, there is nothing I could fault. The breakfast was the best I have had at any Airbnb in the world. Look no further as there will be nothing better.
That I couldn’t stay longer

Verified reviewBeautifully decorated, well appointed, spotless and roomy bed and bath. Wonderful breakfast, fabulous roof deck for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The owners thought of everything to make your stay special.
Rather inflexible check-in time - an additional fee if you hope to check in before the set time of 4pm.

Verified reviewPalazzo Bignami is well located just outside the old town, no more than a 10 minute walk to the Piazza Duomo. Liana and Enzo provide an excellent breakfast buffet which is included in the room rate. We also enjoyed spending time relaxing on the roof terrace.
There was little that could be improved.

Verified reviewLocation - just next to old town. Big, comfortable room, comfortable bed, clean, elevator for the 2nd floor, Nice terrace on the 3rd floor with sunbeds, showers.
Generally ,,highly restricted area,,. IT seems that everything is ok but it doesn't. The atmosphere is tense. One card to the room, the second available only to use air condotion when you are outside for a fee 15 euro per day. Watch if you will loose your card it costs 50 euro - maybe 20 EUR would be ok but 50? O and quoting instructions ,,,it is absolutely forbidden to consume food in the rooms. For this reason, the breakfast room and the terrace on the 3rd floor are available to you until 20.00.,, so when you are back from the sightseeing after 20.00 and you would like to eat anything be descrete or go to sleep hungry 😁🤣 if you like when the owner closly watches you eating breakfast it's place for you. And if you want an orange juice for breakfast pay 2,5 euro. And I forgot one more thing ,, if you get dirty bedspread or decorative cushions you will be charged 20 EUR. Lack of minibar or refigerator. So all these restrictions makes you feell uncomfortable and you can 't feel welcome.
Mrs. Kamila I will answer point by point the second card that is used to leave the air conditioning on even when you are not in the room costs €15 and it seems fair to me, if you lose the card that is given to you with a special card holder the cost is €50 because that card opens the door under the entrance door to the floor and your room, that's why the cost is €50, in no hotel is it possible to bring food from home and consume it in the room, there is a breakfast room available until 8pm, and if you want you can stay on the terrace all equipped and lit to consume your food like all our guests do, on the fact that you are watched when you have breakfast I won't comment, the fresh orange juice costs €2.50 and if you want there are 3 types of juice free every day at breakfast, so it is a customer's choice, and it seems fair to me that if you eat in the room and dirty the bedspread or the rest you have to pay €20, because as our rules say in You cannot consume food in the room
Mrs. Kamila I will answer point by point the second card that is used to leave the air conditioning on even when you are not in the room costs €15 and it seems fair to me, if you lose the card that is given to you with a special card holder… Show more
