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.).

AustraliaNo lift, three flights of stairs, pack light. I didn't like that I had to leave!
Authentic historic roman apartment, complete with lovely courtyard. It is an old apartment but that is what makes it charming! Spacious for three adults. The view (although partially obscured) of the basillica was magical. The view of the vatican from the second bedroom/lounge was great also. Very close to train, supermarket and walking distance to main tourist spots. Quiet and safe. Host always available for questions.

GermanyAbsolutely nothing to complain!
Opposite St. Peter's Dome perfectly located! Cafés, restaurants and shopping round the corner. Safe, cosy, comfortable. Beautifully furnished, luxury beds, nice bathroom and kitchen, wonderful deck outside. Outstanding flawlessly clean! Please leave a good tip for the cleaning service, it is very well deserved! Host more than friendly, helpful and reachable at all times. Easy check-in and check-out. We felt like the Pope's neighbours and if you climb St. Peter's to the top you can see this place right outside the wall of the Vatican :-)

HungaryOf course, you could also write negative things, like the three flights of stairs and the fact that we had to take the rubbish to the collection point. But these were such negligible inconveniences, and so much a part of life in Rome, that even in these we saw only the good...
Exceptional accommodation in a fantastic location. A real sense of Italian life. The apartment is very well equipped, clean, practical. Nothing was missing, everything we needed was available. Communication was very smooth and professional. This accommodation did a lot to make our days in Rome a wonderful memory. The area has very good restaurants and shops within a stone's throw.

United KingdomNo drawer space, although plenty of hanging space for clothes. Seat cushions on the outdoor chairs would be a bonus.
A fantastic location on a quiet side street but 5 minutes walk away from St Peter’s. Host was helpful and responsive even though everything is done through WhatsApp and you check yourself in and out. Would comfortably sleep 4 and has the bonus of a sunny terrace. Loads of loo roll and liquid for washing machine.

United KingdomThere are quite a few steps up to the flat! Once you get there it's lovely, though.
This is a clean and comfortable two-bedroom flat right by the Vatican. The historic city centre is an easy bus ride away, there's a train station within walking distance, and there are plenty of eating places around - we would highly recommend avoiding the touristy ones on the main road, and checking out the far more authentic ones in the side streets. The heating system in the flat had been upgraded the day we arrived, and as is common, there were teething problems with it, so on two occasions there was no hot water. Both times someone was over to fix it within 20 minutes of our making the hosts aware (once in the evening and once first thing in the morning). We weren't making a fuss about it or anything, but they were extremely apologetic for the hassle, and to make up tore up the little envelope for the city tax and said not to worry about it, they'd get that. Can't fault the customer service and responsiveness.

United KingdomMinor grumble - could have provided bin liners to get rid of rubbish and perhaps a tea towel to dry dishes but these are only very minor issues - can't really fault the place at all - please read the above comments.
1. Brilliant location close to Vatican museum, reasonable walk to metro station and supermarket; 2. Really good facilities - working air conditioning, espresso maker, kettle, well equipped kitchenette with all utensils, free washing up liquid, linen and towels, hand wash, shower gel and shampoo, TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime, free WIFI, good plug sockets (although extension lead was broken but owner said they would have happily replaced it if I reported it - I just left it on the desk with a note at the end of my stay); 3. Access to beautiful terrace; 4. Beautiful view from window.

United Arab EmiratesIt was a little far from the historic centre in the heat, and being on the 3rd floor without an elevator would not suit a lot of guests.
Great view toward the St Paul’s and well located for our early visit to the Vatican. There were shops, cafes and restaurants nearby that we enjoyed. Our host was very helpful and communication was great. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Really enjoyed having a terrace to sit out and have a glass of wine, and it was super handy having a washing machine when our luggage was lost!
