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...).

The location was in a fantastic position, from the 5th floor you could see all over the colomuseum and other points of interest you may wish to visit, the little cafe in the side street was a life saver after the long walks smashing bloke who owns it, didn't speak English me no Italian, but somehow we got by so friendly. The apartment was immaculate just right for us and not noisy at all, a tad on the small size but ain't for living in it is it

United StatesOur mini fridge stopped working after day 1 but that’s a mechanical issue. AC unit effects all rooms, so we’re not able to change to cold/ hot individually
Viewpoint near the colloseo was amazing. I went to a coffee shop right across the road from the main entrance to the building everyday. The two individuals that work there made it very welcoming and pleasant to stay there.

United KingdomWhile almost everything about this location was superb, the only downfall was the bathroom. You have everything you need in there but if you fancy a hot shower, you’ll get one on the warmer side of best. Along with this, there is a slight smell to the bathroom but honestly it didn’t even bother us that much. In a lot of accommodations in Rome you’ll experience this, I wouldn’t even say it’s something we ‘didn’t like’ as we had no issue but out of everything it’s the only thing that stands out that someone may have an issue with. Regardless, amazing place to stay and we’ll definitely be back in the future!
Stayed here for 2 nights and it was the perfect accommodation! We stayed in room 5 and the view was absolutely amazing. When communicating with the staff they were great, responded promptly and were extremely friendly when chatting with them. Bed was extremely comfortable, heating and air conditioning in the room which was ideal since it’s the start of January with cooler nights. The location is the selling point for this accommodation and the area felt safe to walk around. You’re a 10 minute walk, if even, from the Colosseo and so many restaurants with amazing food close by. We spent majority of the day out exploring, so mainly used it as a place to rest our head but I couldn’t fault this spot at all.

PolandIt was quite difficult to open the door to the bathroom - the toilet was very close to it (but the whole bathroom is very large). It's a shame that you can't crack a window - you can only open them wide, so it was difficult to ventilate the room (especially when it was raining, when it was impossible to keep the windows fully open). We stayed for four nights, after the 3rd it would be wonderful if the room could be cleaned. But these are small things - I definitely recommend this place!
The location was perfect, just a few steps from the Colloseum. The host was very nice and helpful. The room was very clean, I think it was one of the cleanest places we've stayed in Rome (and we're there very often).

GreeceThe water was not getting hot . It was warm , ok , you could wash yourself with ease , but it needed to be hotter. Also the internet connection was not really good.
So , I have read comments about this property prior to my arrival and I have to say I was a bit worried.But , it was as described!The view was amazing .The cleanliness , the room was spotless ! The decor was nice and the wall insulation very good. The staff were all very kind and pleasant.For me , this is the best location to be whenever in Rome , as it is far enough from tourist crowds ,the Monti area is very charming and you can easily walk to the most of the main sights , apart from Vatican ,which is far, but here is a large choice of means of transport at the area .Now , I have to say that the elevator is really old BUT it is a vintage one ,a birdcage, like in the movies ( such a rare case to find one like that actually working )and I was very happy to use it , as the aesthetics of the building are matching the charm of old italian blocks of apartments .Nothing scary or creepy about that , just a classic, old italian building. About the hotel , this is not really a hotel , just serviced rooms with coffee and tea offered , which was fine by me
