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.).

NetherlandsWe barely slept because of noise from bars below & yelling/screaming from a family of guests next door. Would recommend bringing ear plugs because of thin walls.
Very nice studio in a lovely old building. Susanna was a great host- very friendly, responsive & gave great recommendations.

United KingdomAmazing property with a rich and amusing history. Susanna is a fantastic host and fascinates you with her knowledge and tips on Genoa. The room is unbelievably big, comfortable, and simply stunning, with these mind blowing affreschi from the ‘400. Totally in love and highly recommend!

RomaniaThe doors to enter the building and apartment ( at one point my husband needed help to open the outside door) the fact that it is a huge apartment that it is split in half ( not good isolated) and I could hear our neighbours and they could hear us ( at one point I thought she entered our apartment that loud and clear I could hear her walking from the other one). The stairs to the bedroom/bathroom are wobbly and you could easly fell down, no fridge ( in summer will be useful). Very very loudly on weekends night, as it is a tradition in Italy to go out and this apartment is central you will not have silence until at least 3 in the morning. The table in our apartment was so wobbly we could not eat on as we were afraid not to break it. If you stay more than a week you don't have a wardrobe were to put your closed.
The place in the city were the location was, the way the apartment looked, the host that was super helpful and friendly, the fact that it was super clean and the art.m and that exactly at the entrance of the building there was a nice, friendly little place to have a coffee. The apartment looks exactly like in the pictures. You have AC. Big apartment a lot of space

AustraliaThe shower- I am an average to slim body size and had to squeeze myself into the shower recess, could not close the door which resulted in lots of water on the floor. Not the hosts fault, a bad design element in an otherwise lovely room. No coffee facilities in the room.
The room was superb- waking up to the fresco on the roof after a great sleep in the comfy bed was dreamy! Room was clean and well kept. Great to have a mini-fridge and fabulous bar at the bottom of the building. Excellent location. The host(s) were a bonus- Susanna (and her partner) are lovely people with whom I had some great chats and laughs. Susanna also provided lots of useful info about the local area, things to see and do. (Grazie mille Susi xo)

ItalyThere’s no lift/elevator and it’s not mentioned anywhere. There were no plugs near the bed so charging the phones was a problem. The shades were white and the morning light would wake us up very early (there were no blinds). The bathroom was small and we had only 2 towels. Supposedly all rooms should have a coffee machine, we didn’t.
The location is great. It’s pretty central, in a nice area, walking distance from a lot of places and the metro station is vertical close.

United KingdomWhilst we are aware this is a very old property (we picked it because of the beautiful fresco on the ceiling ) the steps up to the mezzanine sleeping level were new ...ish , the bottom three were very loose and unstable and after two nights we were glad to be leaving as they were a potential dangerous hazard of causing a fall.
Susanna ( host ) Arranged to meet us outside the property and we ended up being an hour late because of cancelled trains ) and she was still polite and welcoming , such a lovely caring host we could not fault her at all , perfect !

United KingdomOutside noise was a little irritating before midnight, but the bars were very nice.
Breakfast not included. Very central to Genoa but, as we stayed on a Saturday night, the outside bars remained noisy for a time. If you are OK with this then this was not a problem.

Very good location. Great bars, restaurants and things to see down every alley. The apartment was very modern and comfortable for such an old historical building. Can get close access to unload luggage too, although long term parking is about 10 minutes away.

ItalySusanna is helpful and kind, and when we got there, she gave us a brief introduction of the history of the palace, which we really appreciated. The room is exactly as depicted in the pictures. It is perfect for short stays and the bed is comfortable. The palace is strategically located as it allows you to walk everywhere in the city centre and enjoy all the main buildings and attractions that Genova offers. I would definitely recommend staying here!
