Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThis is not a hotel. There is no check in or concierge service at all. You are shown in, given a set of keys and left to your devices for the duration of your stay. The stay you’re supposed to be in contact with are also useless. I had an issue with my safe, called for help and message but had no response for over 2 days.
The size of the room, bathroom and cleanliness was great

Awesome awesome awesome! The location is so beautiful and private. The bathroom is awesome and very large. The shower pressure is so good. The room is spacious and has a very comfy mattress. The AC is very cooling. It is an old building on the outside but completely renovated on the inside and so charming. The entrance and walkway up the gentle hill is very charming and beautiful. It really feels like an ancient Roman private estate. There are large gardens right behind that you can walk around in. The location is also super great and has many nice cafes nearby. I highly recommend renting a lime scooter for a day to get around. It makes things super fast to get to.

United KingdomHost was unable to split the bed, even though this was possible (we were 2 friends sharing). So we had to make the best and wrap a double duvet for one and just sheets for the other. We would have been happy to split the beds ourselves but there were insufficient bedding to do this. Also the sofa/bed did not have any sheets as a second option. Late arrival fee of 30 Euros in cash is due after 10pm arrival. This was not needed in our case and we were able to liase via WhatsApp with ease for our arrival time and location to meet.
Excellent location, very quiet with green lush tranquil surroundings, but yet central. The apartment was remodelled expertly with amazing modern wood parquet flooring and tasteful decorations and comfy bed. This together with good sized rooms

PolandIt was difficult to set a pleasant warmth of water in the shower. It was either cold or hot, something to think about (Royale 2). YouTube service did not work in our room - apparently “the browser needed an update”.
The apartment is located in a lovely park, but at the same time very close to every significant tourist attraction. The caretaker Francesco was always available on WhatsApp providing us with all information necessary whenever we needed it. He made our stay even better, kudos to Francesco! Everything else was of course according to the description on Booking.com.

United KingdomThere were a few issues with the air conditioning, the radiators being left on in the 34° heat, safe getting stuck closed and the bath water knob getting stuck that required intervention but Francesco helped with all of it. I recommend that the managers put information about how to work the appliances into their welcome brochure and employ a night service person who can respond in English to an issue. When I messaged to ask for help with the AC after 2 days, they replied in Italian. Continously, after I Google Translated I'm sorry I don't speak Italian. It's a shame because we absolutely loved the apartment. It was beautiful!
The apartment was beautiful in a fabulous location, nestled in a private garden. My friend who lives in Rome visited and said he'd never seen anything like it...and he runs a Vacation Tops website! We had a great help from Francesco, who met us to let us in and was at the end of a WhatsApp if we needed him...and we did!
