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 StatesThe hotel is close to the university area and a piazza where, of course, people gather in the evening. However, the staff was very accommodating in putting me in a quiet room
The location was within walking distance of all the things I wanted to do or see. The staff were very pleasant and provided great recommendations for local restaurants.

GuernseyOn first approaching the hotel we noticed a lot of graffiti in the streets around it but we learned that this can be attributed to the high number of students around...many of who were in and around the square nearby, but the overall atmosphere in the area was very good vibrant.
The breakfast was lovely with a wide variety of choices and all the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel is very central and it's easy to reach everything in the city. The hotel staff gave us a list of good restaurants to try in all price categories which was really helpful. They make lovely coffee as one would expect in Italy.

The breakfast was absolutely the best ever. Don’t be put off by the location which is in the university district. Lots of graffiti on buildings. Edgy and lively at night but felt very safe. Small and charming it is indeed and we would definitely recommend and hope to return.

United KingdomAs a family of four quickly passing through Bologna, we were very happy with our hotel choice. Check-in was fast, the staff were excellent and our room was beautiful. We were very pleased to receive a complimentary fruit bowl and a hand written note on our bedside table (wonderful touch) and we returned after dinner to find slippers and chocolates left by the beds. These small gestures really made our stay special. Location is great, you are very central and can walk everywhere. We parked our car at one of the many paid secure parking lots and walked the 10minutes to the hotel. They will also store your luggage after check-out if you want to see more of the city. Breakfast was a buffet selection of fruits and pastry’s and the option to choose from the menu (pancakes, eggs etc). Very happy, would highly recommend.

United KingdomThe hotel is very near the Opera House/Theatre in the student quarter, there is a lot of graffiti nearby, which can give an adverse impression, but most of it is political rather than offensive, I even spotted some in Latin.
Lovely small hotel with very helpful staff, our room was big, although we were upgraded which was a pleasant surprise. Excellent breakfast in quite a small breakfast room, means that you have a to book a time for it. Really pleasant stay overall.

United KingdomIn a perfect world I'd have liked a balcony and a little swimming pool. But we knew that wasn't what we were getting :)
The room was comfortable and quiet. Facilities were all good - but not lavish or state of the art if that's what you are looking for. Breakfast was great. There was a very good buffet but my favourite was your egg or ham and cheese order was made fresh for you by the lovely staff. Everyone on the staff was great with some stand out members being reception, the boss breakfast lady and the bar. If you are looking for small and comfortable (and charming) this really is the place to go.
