How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe view from the terrace was beautiful, the bed was comfortable and there was a wonderful restaurant close by.
The room was dirty when we arrived (dirty sheets on beds and dirty towels on the floor) and he had to put us in a different place for the night which was very inconvenient given we were only there two nights total. There was also a terrible odor in the apartment like there is a plumbing problem or mold. and there was no coffee in the kitchen.

Verified reviewI liked being close to everything but there is not much around but it is well located
Very simple for the amount that was paid .... sea view yes there is but it's a small view ... arrogant employees with life and with customers with no ways to talk to people ... The owner very arrogant and not very understandable, because I with the rush of employees and leaving the place ended up getting a hair dryer and a command by mistake, however I was trying to have lunch and the arrogant owner was not understanding that I would go back all over again and take it and I was just trying to have a lunch that was not completed.

Verified reviewExcellent base spot to explore Manarola and the rest of Cinque Terre. The room was clean, the bathroom nice. The place is a few steps from the train station and the port. Do not miss the restaurant just in front of the hotel, and enjoy a fine, sunset-lit dinner with a seaview.

Verified reviewThe views were absolutely stunning and with two large windows we were able to enjoy the view throughout the day. The room was very well decorated and spotlessly clean. The coffee machine and hot water pot made mornings all the more enjoyable. The owner/staff were extremely friendly, helpful with dining suggestions and very easy to communicate with.
I have no suggestions for improvements - we loved our stay.

Verified reviewVery clean room, with easy self check in. The room had a coffe machine and hot water boiler, which were nice additions. The small balcony can be useful for smokers and the bed was very confortable.
Unfortunately the shower head was broken and we could only use the little shower head, which was quite unfortunate after arriving from a very long walk to the property. The bell tower next door could annoy some light sleepers; we woke up but fell asleep again very quickly again.
