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 location is great because we went to Rome for the Jubilee and this place is really at 2 mins from the Vatican. The bedroom was super-clean and anything was absolutely perfect. The staff really great.
Being in front of the Vatican Museums, there was a lot of people staying on the public stair in front of the building entrance door and this is was l a little annoying when living or arriving. The size of the room for four people was ok although not spectacular (that is why I removed one point).

Verified reviewNice location, close to everything. Easy access to the building and apartment, kitchen in common space. Bed and pillows were comfortable
Adding some manual for air conditioner would have been nice. Also we didn't find iron but honestly we didn't ask, I can imagine it might have been somewhere. Also in the mornings people starting gathering downstairs as it is a point for excursion start so might be noisy if you sleep with the window opened

Verified reviewSafe location. Good access to Vatican. Walking distance to metro.
Communal area was small and very close to the bedrooms and therefore you might get some kitchen noise.

Verified reviewOwner was so nice and very accommodating. We were coming from a cruise and he allowed us to check in early so we could drop off our bags and start exploring Rome. Room was very clean and beds were comfortable
Air conditioning seemed to be a bit undersized for the room as it took a while to cool down but it honestly wasn’t that big of a deal

Verified reviewThe is a "Guest House", so I want that to be clear. This is an apartment that has 4 or 5 guest rooms. The apartment is newly renovated and has a beautiful foyer with a refrigerator, sink, coffee and books. The room we stayed in, is brand new, very well kept. We slept three adults. It was the same size as a regular room on a cruise ship. The A/C worked well, the bathroom was pretty and newly done as well. The shower was hot and had plenty of pressure. The sheets were comfy. It is in a perfect location and we felt very safe. Groups meet on the steps in the morning, be we didn't feel it was very loud. We were greeted by the owner's mother and she was very pleasant and went over the locks which are all electronic and easy to use. Owner's were very responsive before we arrived and never had an issue. This is a perfect room for budget travelers or staying a few nights before a cruise. I would stay again.
When you enter the building, the entrance is not reflective of the apartment. It is a worn and unattractive. I was a little nervous at first, but when I entered the apartment, I was relieved. Towels are not changed everyday, just every 3 days.

Verified reviewThe location is right across the street from the Vatican. Many local restaurants and convenience stores you can walk to. Our room was wonderful! Modern, clean, comfortable beds and a lovely balcony. They provided small snacks and there’s a small refrigerator & espresso machine in room. The staff is amazing! The owner’s son greeted us upon arrival and stored our luggage for us until our room was ready. We would definitely stay here again!

Verified reviewMy stay was absolutely wonderful! The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was ideal, with everything I needed nearby, and the area felt safe and welcoming. What truly stood out, though, was the hospitality – the staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and always available for anything I needed, from tips about the area to restaurant recommendations. I felt completely at home and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting. I hope to come back soon – thank you for making my stay so enjoyable!
