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.).

IrelandThe location wasn’t very central. We spent a lot on taxis. The metro was a long walk from the hotel and it felt unsafe with pick pockets. We had a close encounter with one. We decided not to take the metro after that.
The breakfast was good. Bacon and eggs and a nice selection of pastries. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful.

ItalyThe room was quite large and the bathroom was suitable even for two people at the same time. There were minor flaws due to a lack of maintenance in my room. I also appreciated the vending machines on the floor for water and snacks. The bus stops were very close too.

CanadaI had no complaints about this but future visitors should be aware that Hotel Caravel does NOT have kettles or coffee machines in the rooms. There's a (coffee) bar a few metres away outside and the hotel's (cocktail) bar is open in the evenings.
I had expected this hotel to be a little shabby but it was in great condition and offered great facilities. The breakfast was very good (although the breakfast room was a bit cold) and they had gluten-free bread on hand. The location was perfect for my purposes, with both Garbatella metro station and Eataly within walking distance (less than 30 minutes). I would stay here again!

MaltaStaff could be warmer, we were also stranded in central Rome and the reception couldn't send us a taxi. Also, the location is in a busy main road so not that pretty.
Clean, with elevator and close to nearby bus stages.

IrelandThe hotel's wifi is working through an unsecure webserver so I rather skipped to connect it. An unexpected 22,50 Euro additional fee had to be paid as city tax at check-out.
Very nice, spaciuos and clean room. The location is quite good in walking distance from the Metro and the bus station.

United KingdomThere was no fridge in the room, which I find a bit annoying given the price you pay and especially during the summer when it's hot and you want cold drinks or to store food so it does not spoil. I had another friend joining me for the trip and because I did not book the room for 2 people originally I had to pay an additional fee at the end which felt a bit excessive, so might be worth booking for the adequate number of people from the start. There was noise during the day due to construction work nearby, but it was not a massive issue. It did not wake us up.
The room was big enough for two people, with a large balcony, clean. The hotel in general was very clean, there were no technical issues, the staff cleaned our room every day. The area is well connected, few buses around that can take you to the centre, a metro station within walking distance, few shops and little coffee shops/restaurants nearby as well. However, all these buses take ages to arrive, it seems like it's common in Rome.
