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 view from the balcony was breath taking. The hosts Lina and Max were very accessible and helpful. The metro station, the Maradona mural and the sea are all a short walk away.

Verified reviewExcellent location, well kitted out, Max and Lina are wonderful, helpful hosts. And it has the best view over the bay and towards Vesuvius.
Shower cubicle is a little small, but you get used to it very quickly. It’s barely even a problem, really.

Verified reviewGreat balcony with a superb view out over the bay and across to Mount Versuvio, it really is a fantastic view. Easy to communicate with host on WhatsApp, met to collect keys. Quieter end of a busy neighbourhood full of restaurants, which is also great. Apartment has all necessary kitchen items, we made breakfast both days for the family and sat on the terrace for a few hours before the days activities. 700metres to Toledo metro station. Couple of shops nearby for all your needs, eggs, sausages, panchetta, pastries etc. Comfy rooms, one double bed and pull out sofa. We were family of four, with two kids 4 & 6. We were very happy with the location and the friendly and supportive owners.

Verified reviewThe location was wonderful and the view of Vesuvius was almost surreal. Max and his mum were easily contactable. The tip to catch the funicular and walk down to the apartment was most useful.
Nothing!

Verified reviewGreat location, close to various transport options. Well equipped apartment with a fantastic view of the bay of Naples.. The balcony area is better than the photos. The hosts are fantastic and will go out of their way to provide information and assistance. I would definitely stay there again. Thank you Lina, Mario and Max..
The shower is really small (really small)… The area is super busy with narrow streets and motorbikes buzzing around very fast. You have to be very careful walking around the area. The Spanish Quarter is a busy noisy place but he apartment is not too noisy. A microwave would have been handy(no microwave), but not a deal breaker..
