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 reviewGreat room with view, reliable and friendly host who accommodated early arrival, and met me at the property providing all info I needed. Bed comfy. Super central.
The breakfast a but basic but frankly, not bothering me at all. Others may wish for a bit more variety but I was happy and would stay again.

Verified reviewLocation to the train station was good. The bed was comfortable. Washing machine available.
When we arrived, host met us and told us he had given our ground floor room to someone else. They then prepared another room which was up a couple of flights of stairs. I felt as though the room wasn't as big as the one originally booked. Washing machine was available, there was room towels left in there and there was no dryer. Breakfast was underwhelming. The packaged croissant was stale; the cereal was solid in the container. Not enough milk to go around. Yoghurt was out of date. We asked for an 11am checkout and was told we could have 10.30am. The host and cleaners virtually kicked us out. When we told them about the yoghurt they couldn't care less.
Thank you for your review. The breakfast is complimentary, so you should not criticize my breakfast. You should never criticize the room if you were not satisfied. We did not make any room exchanges; your room was the one you booked, and we were very kind to you. So I don't understand where you had problems. We are very sorry that the yogurt was expired, and we apologize. But it is not true that we ignored it — how can someone say such a thing? You are really not very fair with us. Nevertheless, thank you all the same.

Verified reviewThe apartment is only a few steps from the train station and bus interchange where you can catch the bus to the airport. Location wise, this accommodation is the ideal. The area is safe, close to cafés and restaurants. When we arrive, we were met by two young ladies who showed us our room, kitchen and breakfast snack. Overall, price was fair and location perfect, the room was clean and nicely decorated. Our bed was done every morning.

Verified reviewVery 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.

Verified reviewVery well appointed room, excellent shower. Superb advance information provided prior to our arrival including the details of a great local restaurant. Excellent coffee and a nice simple self service breakfast. Just across the road from the station, so very handy. Very well soundproofed, we didn't hear any noise from outside.
Just a reminder, there's no lift available at the property.
the elevator was only temporarily out of service but the present elevator works perfectly. Thank you again

Verified reviewThe 2 rooms were comfortable
That it is an apartment and not hotel. There were works on the floor, meaning access was through the 2nd floor. Breakfast was packed meals and not fresh.
Good evening. Thank you for your review and for appreciating the rooms. The judgment should be on the rooms, and luckily, we are not a hotel, because we are better than many hotels in the area. Therefore, you should appreciate the fact that you found comfortable, beautiful, and clean rooms more than anything else. Anyway, thank you.

Verified reviewIt’s walking distance from the train station and close to the port and some of the attractions. The room had ac ( that was very useful during the heat waves) and the room and bathroom wore very clean
Unfortunately, my experience with this host was very disappointing. While the listing did mention a €10 late check-in fee, once I arrived, I was told it was €10 per person — something that was not specified anywhere in the booking. This felt misleading and unfair.( also a bit funny is not like he had to open the door twice 😅) After an already stressful day, with multiple train delays causing me to miss connections and arrive later than expected, being asked to pay extra money — especially under unclear terms — just added to the frustration. Yes, I saw the mention of the fee on Booking, but that doesn’t make it any less strange. You’re paying for the room, which should cover your stay from check-in to check-out. If certain check-in times are a problem for the host, perhaps that’s something that should be adjusted in the structure of their service. There was no flexibility or understanding, and I still don’t see any logical explanation as to why the fee is charged per person and not per room. I will also add that I wouldn’t book the breakfast if I will be you, it’s a very simple close to nothing breakfast. All in all, this experience felt unwelcoming, rigid, and lacking in transparency. I would not book here again.
Good morning thanks for your review she should judge more than anything else the services of the room and your stay here with us not the service that is very well described that you pay € 10 after the leise check-in, among other things, we also made the discount to her did not pay € 10 per person but it paid 15-15 so there was an understanding and availability and clarity and all the other guests have never objected anything except for her and you already get it.

Verified reviewLe 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.
The curtain only covered around 75% of the window.
Good morning thank you for your review but you could close all the windows are equipped with shutters so if they can close and there is a total darkness I don't understand why you have to identify the curtain as 75%
