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 reviewVery close to Vatican city and metro bus stop right next to the stay to take bus to colosseum and other popular destinations. Very private and the elevator was helpful to go up-to 5th floor. Staffs very amazing, two ladies during our stay took care of us very well, totally forgot their names. All the staffs were very welcoming and friendly. One staff helped my wife to carry a heavy bag that she was struggling.

Verified reviewThe apartment was exceptional on all counts. Me and my family were spending a short time in Rome and this location didn’t disappoint: the staff were super helpful, friendly and very accommodating to all our needs. The apartment was very spacious, modern, and clean! Loved it and would definitely recommend to any family.
Nothing to fault!

Verified reviewThis boutique hotel exceeded our expectations. It is strategically located near the Vatican, only 10 Minutes walk to the St. Peter's Basilica and Vatican Museum and a few minutes walk to the Ottaviano Metro Station. There are lots of Restaurants, Bars, Grocery Stores and Shops scattered around the area. We booked for a Double Superior Room but we were surprised our room was upgraded to a Junior Suit Spa. The huge room was immaculate, very clean and has a distict charm, the wooden ceiling is just lovely. The view overlooking the Saint Peter's Dome is a big surpise. The bathroom/spa room, equipped with a Jacuzzi and a Finish Sauna, is even bigger than the bedroom itself. The Jacuzzi was a treat after a long day of walking during a hot summer day. Most of the staffs are Filipinos. No wonder, they are very friendly, professional and very attentive of our needs. Special mention to the young guy at the reception who gave us a very warm welcome (unfortunatey I could not remember his name), to Pauline and Maple. The breakfast was something to look forward to. With great variety, it offers fresh, high quality products and the Staff gave an excellent service. My only concern was the airconditioning in our room, we could not adjust it based on our desired temperature, especially during a hot summer day. But over all, it was a fantastic stay. The Place 217 is really a gem at the heart of Rome. If you get the chance to book a room at this small lovely hotel, take the chance and you won't definitely get disappointed.

Verified reviewTerrific staff, and very accommodating. The facilities were superb and spotless including the room and the common sitting room. This was the most comfortable bed we both have slept in in a hotel in Italy, and we have stayed at many. The breakfast was truly outstanding. It would have held up well at a restaurant with a Michelin star. We stayed here for proximity to an appointment, but it was blocks away from the Vatican and on a street with plenty of shopping, cafes, and restaurants. Highly recommend.
Dear David, We truly appreciate your kind words. It’s rewarding to know that the experience left such a positive impression. Knowing that our attention to quality, comfort, and cleanliness contributed to a memorable stay means a lot to us.

Verified reviewThe property is spacious and clean, air conditioning working in every room.The staff was super helpful and very attentive, accommodating an extra person last minute was very flawless. It is 10 min walking from Vatican, lots of restaurants and shops near by. It is at the sixth floor and we have noisy boys, was not a problem for them to run around. Overall very good!
The lift works only with keys both ways, so everyone have to leave the house at the same time.

Verified reviewWe absolutely LOVED our time here. We were traveling on our honeymoon and the staff there were so welcoming and provided a wonderful atmosphere. We loved the neighborhood it was very walkable, the vatican was roughly a 10 minute walk while other popular attractions were a 30 minute walk. We had an early train on our departure day and staff were accommodating with leaving grab and go pastries in our room. The bed was very comfortable we got wonderful rest!! Please book here if you have the chance!
My only complaint is the shower drain was clogged which left standing water while using.

Verified reviewThe location was very close to Vatican. The bathroom was huge with a hot tub and a sauna (we only used hot tub). The room itself was spacious but had minimal storage space. The breakfast area was lovely and we enjoyed the variety of food. The young man at the front reception was extremely helpful and made our stay really good.
The very tiny fridge didn’t really work so we couldn’t cool our drinks. Our biggest complaint is that the air conditioning stopped working (we did let the reception know) and we got very poor sleep as a result the last night of our stay (we were flying to another country the next day). We really did expect a working fridge and working a/c (July in Rome can be really hot) at this price range.

Verified reviewLocation is great if you want to be near the Vatican. Room was very big with all you could need for a very comfortable stay and very tastefully decorated. There are loads of facilities round about, local shops and lovely restaurants.
Aircon could have been better, room was ok but we like it cold. This was mid July so very hot in Rome. If like us you like to come back to your hotel for a drink following a day out, choices are limited. Beer, Wine, Fizz. There isn't a bar etc. Probably my fault for not researching properly. Location it is a 50min walk to the Colosseum, not an issue in cool weather but in 31 degrees a struggle.
