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 KingdomIt felt quite far out. We got the buses wrong and ended up with a fine. There weren't many shops or restaurants nearby, which was tricky, as we needed gluten free. 4 beds in 1 room was a really tight squeeze. Lift was practically unusable for our whole stay. We only worked out how to close the shutters on our last morning.
Good value for Rome. Inside set up was quite clever, several rooms with a small shared kitchen

Plenty of beds for our family. Loved the balcony. Felt secure. Near the bus stop and short walk to the metro!

SerbiaThe apartment was clean and the stuff was very nice and communicative. There is a bus stop very close by so it was pretty easy to get to the center of the city...There is also a micro market around the corner which was super helpful. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

PakistanEverything was flawless!!
The experience was amazing! Let's start of with the location. The location is amazing, with perfect streets, a mini market outside, and a bus stop named Pio VIII. Secondly, the hotel room was amazing and comfortable... soft beds, comfy quilts and pillows, and amazing washroom with all facilities needed. A mini fridge and a bottle of water was provided as well. Lastly, a huge shout out to JON... He is an amazing receptionist who guided us with everything from bus tickets to how to reach major attractions. He is very respectful and super helpful. Overall, Vatican Central Suites is extraordinary and great value for money!! Highly recommended.

HungaryThe bathroom is very humid and very moldy, needs S.o.S renovation. The electric sockets are dangerous and Just 2 worked properly. The minibar is too loud as well. The photos of course are better Than the reality. Altough its not the properties fault, be aware that its quite far from the Vatican and the busses are running rarely.
The staff was nice and friendly, they speak good english. The coffee station and the water bottle is nice.

IrelandNeighbors were really noisy so we couldn't rest too much. Blind had some mechanical issues so we couldn't lower it. The communication was not perfect with the staff.
The room was big and the beds were acceptable. The area was a good one especially if you wanted to reach the Vatican fast. The bus station is very close (a few meters away from the entrance) and there is also a shop nearby to buy things.

United StatesAs I mentioned, these are not fancy hotel rooms, they are rooms to-let, so you know how to set your expectations. The place is about 15 mins walk from the Vatican, and then you add whatever time you will need to walk to other places, so, bring really good walking shoes. It is on a couple of bus lines (46 and others), but if you have a car, it will be very difficult to park. Ubers/taxis in general are available too, but pretty pricey!! You are in a generally residential area, so there is no view FYI.
Jon, who told me that he had just become the new owner, was very helpful when he was able to communicate via text. The place is very clean, the housekeeper is nice and helpful. Although the rooms did not have any facilities inside it, Jon mentioned he was going to get a microwave in the hall, which already has the common kettle and espresso machine. If you're arriving late, make sure to arrange with Jon ahead of time. Finally, let Jon, or someone from the staff show you which keys open which door and how :)
