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.).

United KingdomVery welcoming host. The apartment was clean and comfortable. There is plenty of space, with the additional benefit of a shared kitchen, with a small breakfast. View from the window. Very close to the train station, even though it is a steep climb. Easy to get around via bus, with good recommendations from host.

Le Stanze del Principe is in a good location for visiting Genova and is a short walk from the Genova Principe Railway Station, the harbour and city centre. There are a number of restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk.

United KingdomI wouldn't consider this a hotel. Self service breakfast room wasn't to my taste, no privacy, you would have to sit at a table with others so I gave this a miss (personal preference is to eat alone). A very steep hill to get to the property so be advised if mobility is an issue for you. Also, noisy neighbours late at night for 2/3 nights of my stay disturbed my sleep as did the proximity to the breakfast room.
Extremely friendly and helpful welcome. Directions to the property were very good and clear with friendly WhatsApp communication. Bed was very comfortable and the shower was lovely. Good amenities in the room. Location great for getting around and everything withing walking distance. Across the street from the station so no chance of getting lost.

United KingdomA substantial number of stairs to climb to reach the property and the wifi link in our room kept "dropping" quite frequently.
The room was tastefully furnished and great care had gone into the design and furnishings. The facilities were good ... even to the point of having a sewing kit in the room. The breakfast was plentiful and the location of the property suited us extremely well ... very close to the central station and the Old Town. We were met upon arrival and were advised as to places to eat, the locations of the main sights etc. and any questins that we had were answered very well. The Ristorante Cucina Casalinga da Mario was a real gem ... if you're "in town" go there. We'd certainly stay at Le Stanza del Principe again and would recommend it to others.

BulgariaThe only downside not related to the location is that the city is very steep, so be aware that you will have to climb stairs or uphill paths. Also, many doors within the place need to be locked/unlocked, but this also enhances security, so it is not a major issue.
Very extravagant room and I would suspect it's not to everyone's taste, but if you are open to more interesting and unique places, you'll like it. Very well-stocked in terms of food and drink options. Also, a big shout-out to the host, who was very friendly and welcoming. Super location — literally two minutes from the main train station and within walking distance of the historic center and landmarks (if you prefer not to walk, there's a bus stop within walking distance that can take you to the center and Boccadasse). Perfect stay if you are boarding a cruise from Genoa.

LatviaCheck out for us felt a little to early. Breakfast was not very big- tasty, but small coffee, yogurt and bread with butter (maybe someone before us took all cheese and sausages, because we was the last and this is self- service…) And the cleaner lady came, when we still were there, she was very nice, but we would liked to have our breakfast and leave the apartment without a feeling, that we disturb each other a little bit.
Perfect location, very nice host- we arrived late, but felt very welcome. Especially our youngest :) Unique design, very clean, comfortable beds and a lot of different pillows. Was quiet.

AustraliaNo lift. Although we were on Floor 1, we still had to climb more than 30 steps with heavy bags. I was under the impression that this place a a hotel with lifts. Not the case. There was a lift , but only used for higher levels. To get to the lift, there are still those same 30+steps to climb. Please take note if you have mobility issues or have heavy bags. Also, a big walk up a steep hill to get there. The building is not marked with a sign, making it more difficult to locate. It's in a residential building, not a stand-alone hotel.
Clean, great host, proximity to the train station. Breakfast.

Fairly priced and neighbor with the main train station. Thanks to the soundproof window, the room was quiet even with the trains just outside. Optimal for 1-2 nights. Nice host that gave us good recommendations for exploring the city and the check-in went smooth.
