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.).

FinlandThe palazzo is from 16th century and just so beautifully restored. It was a priviledge to see the different rooms as most of the palazzo is a museum, the 14 rooms are situated all over the palazzo and our room had a terrace to the lake. Just beautiful! Thank You Laura and your kind husband for chatting with us and being so friendly! We will return!!! And Bolsena is a very nice little town!

United StatesI was extremely tired when I arrived. It may have been why I couldn't understand what door was the front entrance. Or misunderstood the museum sign out front also included the hotel. It's such a surprise!
This property has all the appeal of actually staying in a medieval palace. In fact, there are tours through the public rooms, that number in the dozens, I believe. Starting with walking through the immense entrance, worthy of all noble persons, there comes a wine tasting cellar then a reception. My room had 18 foot ceilings w frescoes & floors were polished brick tiles. Bathroom was thoroughly modern w a very large walk in shower, so appreciated! The staff spoke fluent English and we're always kind and informative. Perfect location w 2 cafes plus popular pizza shop in a delightful small square the Rocca w a fountain. This is a totally special stay!

SerbiaA truly unique experience — staying in a real palace! The interiors are absolutely stunning: magnificent ceilings, antique furniture, and a strong sense of history everywhere. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, and you can wander through the palace for hours just taking it all in. The staff are wonderful — incredibly kind, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. You can also taste local wines here and join a guided tour of the palace. There’s convenient parking nearby, and good breakfast spots just around the corner. It was an unforgettable stay — one of the highlights of our trip!

The most amazing place. Our room was large and comfortable, the bathroom was modern and the facility is a 500 year old palace. The rooms of the palace are amazing. Decorated with antiques and comfortable furniture. The location is right in the middle of town. An exceptional experience.

United StatesThe mattress is pretty hard but it’s a 1500s palace so
One of the most unique hotels I have ever stayed in. As the other reviews mention it’s just like staying in a museum overnight. The hosts were helpful and the location is perfect, in the heart of town so you can walk to the lakefront, the castle, groceries, parking etc. I will 100% try to stay here again
