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.).

AustraliaNothing to fault about the property.
Our stay was fantastic. Upon arriving early, the staff went above and beyond to get us into our room earlier, which was a huge relief after a long day of travel. The location was fantastic, with some great local restaurants within walking distance. Each day, we would walk from the hotel into central Rome, enjoying the opportunity to see local sites.

BrazilI had a wonderful stay here. The room was beautifully designed, cozy, very comfortable and spacious — every detail felt well thought out and tasteful. The shared areas were just as lovely: calm, clean, and welcoming. The location also worked perfectly for me, with easy access to public transportation. I got around smoothly and felt safe the whole time. I’d definitely stay here again. A great balance between comfort, design, and convenience.

United KingdomNothing. Genuinely nothing.
Some people might say Testaccio is a little out of the way, but location really isn’t that important in Rome. No matter where you stay, you are going to have to rely on public transport regularly because Rome is so big, and the landmarks are all quite spread out. The hotel has 2-3 bus stops within a 7 minute walk that all go into the city centre practically every 15/20 minutes. There are some excellent (and I truly mean excellent) restaurants, cafés and convenient food places nearby. I can’t recommend Remo enough for pizza. Piazza Testaccio is a dream at night for a few casual drinks, and is just a short walk away. There’s also a McDonald’s just around the corner if you need something fast and convenient. The PIN number entrance for the building and room is great meaning you don’t have a key or card to potentially lose! The cold water tap and coffee machine were excellent. Free earplugs and teabags etc were a really nice touch, even though I found the area to be very quiet and didn’t the earplugs. The room was absolutely spotless with great facilities like a kettle, fridge and iron. The bathroom and shower were also immaculate with plenty of high quality locally made shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The bed was so comfortable, and the room staff were very attentive and quick. There was a great TV in the room but we didn’t actually use it. Plenty of plugs for charging devices, not to mention the USB and USB-C ports for additional devices. The balcony was great, and the shutter system was a really nice feature to ensure a great night’s sleep. I have to specifically mention the air conditioning. As an Irish couple who are used to the occasional summer day of 20°C heat, we were very concerned about the heat in the room. On the days we were in Rome, the temperature didn’t drop below 31°C. However, the AC in our room was exceptional. It meant we came home to a lovely cool room each evening where we could get a great night’s sleep.

South AfricaWifi kept disconnecting, not sure why. The breakfast spread can be improved with additions such as yoghurt & more fruit....You could also think of adding a little splash pool at the back especially as weather can get out of hand hot in this place.
Place is really lovely. Staff is friendly & ever ready to assist. It is clean. Offers really good breakfast compared to many places in Italy. Spread is limited, but it is great. Free 24hr wifi. 24hr room service. 24hr tea/coffee & beverage offers. Central to buses & trains. Safe to walk around even at midnight.

United KingdomI’d maybe expect a small gym or any other facility but I don’t mind too.
I really enjoyed my stay at Sonder Testaccio. The room was spotless and cleaned daily. It also had a balcony—perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. The neighbourhood is one of the best in Rome, full of local charm and far from the usual tourist crowds. It’s a great place to experience the authentic city and enjoy some of the best restaurants around.

United KingdomThe size of the room and the bathroom were excellent with plenty of storage and it was nice to have a bathroom cabinet as well as drawers. Good to have a balcony but the ones on the back don't have any view but was nice to be able to have the space to sit out. There is free coffee, tea and water all day which is good to have. I didn't have breakfast so couldn't comment on that. Overall it was a good place to stay and compared to some of the prices in Rome it was good value, quite easy to access all the sights via public transport and/or walking with some nice restaurants for dinner.

GreeceLocation was not very central but with a short walk you could reach public busses which takes you to your destination.
The hotel was clean and staff was friendly. Room was very spacious. I enjoyed the breakfast very much, and the coffee machine and water machine that was available throughout the day. Staff was always available to help with questions. I particularly liked the storage lockers available where we could store our suitcase on the day of check-out since my departure was later in the day. Also, my sister had an issue with the strong cologne of a guest staying next to our room. After bringing it up to the staff, the next day the smell was gone. Thanks to the helpful staff for addressing this promptly!

United KingdomHonestly nothing! You get exactly what you pay for with great service on top.
From the moment we checked in, we had nothing short of an excellent experience. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, offering a coffee and sparkling water whilst we waited to be checked in and then giving us a complimentary early check in, which honestly made our stay. The room was beautiful and clean, and a great size. The breakfast was great and the staff called us a taxi to the airport which made the early travel day so much smoother. The neighbourhood is definitely further out, but for anyone who's been to Rome before and doesn't need to be in the centre, or doesn't mind a walk, it's perfect.
