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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomWe had a wonderful experience at Residenza Alexander Guest House. Max was waiting for us when we arrived, and was so helpful both in letting us know how things worked within the guest house and to give us so many great hints and tips for what to see, where to eat, directions to places etc. The room itself was immaculately clean, well presented and had the comfiest beds EVER! We slept so well. We loved being able to open the huge windows to let in the fresh air, too. The location was absolutely perfect. It’s central to so much (the Vatican, Piazza del Popolo for example, are only about a 15 minute walk) but it feels away from the tourist hustle and bustle. The guest house is in a lovely area, and shares the street with lots of designer stores. After visiting the likes of the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps which were so busy, we loved coming back to the guest house. It felt like an oasis in the middle of Rome! We will absolutely return if we come to Rome in the future, and wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else. Thank you so much Max- Residenzia Alexander Guest House is a credit to you.

SpainI don't have anything in mind, but maybe the fact that there is an old and small elevator, so carrying big luggages may not be so convenient.
What we liked the most was the location. Supermarkets, shops and bus station were all very close, and Vatican Museum just 15min by foot. Also, overall state of the room, everything very clean and with all the necessary equipment to make it comfortable and safe. Also very quiet! No noises from the street. Finally, the bed and pillows were especially comfortable allowing us to rest well, so thank you for that!!

CanadaI didn't like that we had to leave Rome and Max's lovely apartment.
Max is a kind and good man. I booked the room way back in May, and he always quickly responded to my questions regarding our upcoming stay. We arrived quite early and Max was waiting there for us. He helped us carry our bags to the old and quaint little elevator that took us up to the apartment. As we did arrive quite early, our room was still being cleaned. We waited in the lounging area and Max chatted with us. He's an interesting and friendly man. He bought the apartment years ago and converted it into a four room rental. Our room was large and bright, with a nice and modern bathroom. There was a coffee maker, kettle, coffee and tea available in the room. There was a small television on the wall. He also provided us with an iron at my request. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the room was very clean. It was also very quiet each and every night. No traffic noises and no noises from the 3 other guest rooms. Charging stations for our electronics were provided right beside the beds and nightstands. The apartment is located in a great location. Easy walking distance to the popular sights. Max also generously provided us with a map on which he marked the sights we wanted to visit as well as recommendations for wonderful Italian restaurants. We really liked the plastic credit card type cards that we were given for the outside doors and room key. You just need to tap the one card against the key pad to open all the doors. Brilliant! I wouldn't hesitate for a second to book with Max again. I have traveled a lot in my 63 years and this is honestly among the very best private rentals I've ever been to.
