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...).

Perfectly situated for tours of Cinqueterre and boat excursions. The room was perfect to come home and relax after much walking. We had a nice balcony to enjoy a bottle of wine and pesto we made just a walk away! Giovi was a great host and helped us up to our room after meeting us by the ferry…and got us back to our train early on the day of our departure.

United StatesThere’s nothing we “didn’t like” but a few suggestions for improvements would include an additional table or two for outdoor seating (right now there is a small bistro table with two chairs outside on the pedestrian walkway). It’s a charming spot to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening, but often occupied. Availability of ice would also be nice vs. having to source it from a nearby bar. Some of us like to mix up a cocktail in the evenings.
The location of the two buildings that comprise Colonnade 24 are on a charming side street above the main shopping street in town. To access the property, you’ll need to be able to walk stairs - but frankly, if that’s a challenge, don’t visit Cinque Terre! Highlights of your stay will be a lovely communal breakfast room, attended by property manager Giovanni, who does an exceptional job of taking care of any requests you might have. He’s a one-person show who takes care of guests from arrival through departure, including cooking your eggs in the morning and hauling your luggage up the hill. This is a boutique hotel, so do not expect a reception area or other common areas beyond the breakfast room. The in-room coffee, quiet but central location, personalized and warm service and air-conditioning were all appreciated.

United KingdomThe rooms themselves were fine - but expensive in our opinion - they weres mall, with no bath or seating area etc and the cost was over £250 a night. Noise from breakfast room carries to rooms on first floor. Finishes were fine - but not luxury. I would say this is a 4*. Breakfast was fine - again, fairly basic for the price (orange juice was not fresh which would have been nice). Having said this - Porto Venere is a very expensive town generally so prices are probably reflective of this.
Colonna 24 was in a great location in the backstreets of Porto Venere. Giovanni was very helpful and helped us arranging parking and a supper reservation. Aircon in rooms worked well, lots of hot water.

ItalyI expected the room to be a bit more spacious and was hoping to find an electric kettle next to the Nespresso machine, but there was no option for tea or decaf, just regular coffee. The rest was perfect.
Excellent location, right in the center of Porto Venere. Modern clean room and bathroom. We really appreciated being accompanied from the parking to the hotel and, after the check-out, back to the parking. Lovely breakfast, Thank you for the vegan option, appreciated it!
