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.).

TurkeyI liked everything
The location of the facility was close to everywhere. I walked along the Tiber River to the Vatican, and walked to the Trevi Fountain also. My bed was very comfortable, the toilet and bathroom were very clean. I constantly filled my drinking water bottle from the purifier. I stayed in the same room with the other 3 young girls who were wonderful people. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful. I never felt like a stranger, I felt at home. I plan to stay at Borgo Ripa whenever I go to Rome.

Italythis is my first time go to rome eventhough I stayed in Italy for a one year. The location is very very good, it close to a lot of visiting palecs, you can go anywhere by foot. the staff were also very kind. By the way, the price is very cheap, I don't know why, actually I choose the hotel because of the cheap price, but when I arrived, it was over my expectation.

NetherlandsBathroom stalls didn’t have a lock but I didn’t mind since it wasn’t busy and there were plenty.
Good location, very clean even the bathrooms were cleaner than in a hotel. Bed was comfortable. It wasn’t too busy when I stayed there so it was nice socially but also very silent at night which I prefer. It was my first time in a dormitory and it was the best experience at the same time. It was great that there were no bunk beds and instead they had just single beds made it more comfortable and spacious.

PortugalWe were in a very bad situation as we spent the first night in Rome ou on the street, on a flight of stairs, as our previous apartment managers gave us wrong codes and we had no place to go! After hours on the phone with booking, we called Borgo Ripa about a relocation and we were kindly answered by Lorenzo and he was amazing!!! We were greeted with a big smile, he was so kind, helped us out, gave us an amazing room and let us get in right away! It really changed the game for us as we were so tired, mad and sad and it was a breathe of fresh air for us! The place is like a small villa in the middle of Rome, close to the center, nothing fancy but very stilish, super cozy and with and amazing river view! We really loved our stay and I would recommend to anyone that wants to have a cozy and comfortable experience! Thanks again to Lorenzo - you are the best 🙏

EstoniaYou expect it to be a hostel but what you get is a hostel in an antique villa compound which was a oleasant surprise. My private room was very clean, it had a high vaulted ceiling, some historic details and I was really sarisfied with it. Located just next to Tevere river and a nice jog away from Vatican and the Hadrian's mausoleum. Be sure to save time to explore the adjacent villa.

IndonesiaThe shower has no locks and is very tiny + no hanger to hang towels/store our toiletries inside the shower stalls. Some toilets also have no locks.
Location was super cool inside a museum, I feel like I'm walking inside a mansion haha. Staff was nice, they let me store my luggage after check out. Room was really clean and spacious, I booked a 4 person dorm but inside there were only 3 beds which was better. There's a plug for each beds too which is nice and a locker but bring your own locks!

CanadaExtremely Disappointing Stay in Italy – Would Not Recommend My stay in Italy, particularly in Rome, was a major letdown and one of the worst experiences of my trip. I had high hopes, given the country’s rich history and charm, but the accommodation completely ruined it for me. Accommodation: The hostel was far from satisfactory. The rooms were cramped and poorly ventilated, and the cleanliness standards were unacceptable. The bathrooms were dirty, and basic facilities like hot water and clean towels were inconsistent. It felt like no effort was made to ensure guest comfort. Atmosphere: The hostel lacked any sense of community or hospitality. Unlike other hostels I stayed at during my trip, this one offered no events or opportunities to meet other travelers. It felt cold and uninviting, which was disappointing in a city known for its vibrant culture. Service: The staff was indifferent and unhelpful. When I asked for assistance or recommendations, I was met with disinterest. It seemed like they were just going through the motions without any real concern for the guests’ experience. Overall Experience: This was by far the worst accommodation of my entire trip. It overshadowed what should have been an amazing experience in a beautiful country. I absolutely do not recommend this hostel to anyone planning a trip to Rome. Save yourself the frustration and look for better accommodation options. This was a waste of time and money, and I left Italy feeling disappointed and let down.

SpainThe window in the bathroom didn't have a curtain so everyone outside could see you naked. Room service didn't lock the door after cleaning and left our room open the whole day (with all of our stuff inside). The bed didn't have proper bedsheets, just a sheet that didn't cover the duvet.
Location was great, you could walk to many nice places in just 10 minutes. The room was very big with good views and lots of natural light.

Nice hostel, with few exceptions. I give a lower rating because of two of the receptionists.
