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 StatesAbsolutely nothing
The location is premium: close to all major attractions and transportations; my room is clean, bright (with gorgeous port view), modern and well-designed; the communal space (shared living room and kitchen) is chic and thoughtful; and most importantly, the host Francesca is so warm and welcoming: she really went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable at home.

United KingdomEverything was perfect.
Port View offers fantastic spacious rooms decorated to the highest standard. The bed is very comfortable, I had everything I needed for my stay, even bottles of water. I had a beautiful view over the harbour and it’s a short stroll to the old town, the Principe Station, harbour. Francesca is very welcoming, super friendly, and provides you with all the information you need. She met me at the property before check in so I could store my luggage, and even rang me a taxi for the airport. She let me store my luggage on check out day and I also could stay in the room longer due to other guests arriving late. This was really appreciated. I hope to return again.

United States Minor Outlying IslandsEverything was great, zero complaints.
Francesca was an excellent host. She met me outside of the property and led me to a nearby parking garage. She helped me get settled into the room and carried heavy suitcases for me I so appreciate her help and patience with me. I’m a senior and she made my stay so wonderful. She also helped me with my luggage when I departed which was exceptional care. I would highly recommend Port View it was a fantastic stay.

United StatesThere are a set of stairs before the elevator, however the host was more than happy to help with luggage up to the elevator. The are is not ideal for a single woman at night. If you are walking from the train station with luggage be advised that the side walks are cobblestone and not that easy for wheeled cases.
The rooms are beautiful and Francesca is a fabulous host. It is across from the port so an ideal location for sightseeing.

Francesca was very accomodating and communicative making for easy access into the facility. The location is within easy walking distance to Genova Principe station and the waterfront. It is, however, a longer walk into the old town centre.

United KingdomOur room was deep cleaned each morning, which was a delight we did not expect, but for us who are backpacking and using the destination as a rest spot we did feel like we had to get up and leave the guest house for the room to be cleaned, when we would have preferred to lay in and rest, particularly as our stay was only short. Perhaps this could be an option for guests who have a shorter stay rather than regular practice
Our stay at the Port View was wonderful. Our host Francesca was extremely helpful and informative, with lots of useful guidance about how to reach the destination and what to do in the area. At the property we had exceptional facilities, everything we needed and more. We were very impressed by the kindness from Francesca’s kitchen and the food we could use ( we did leave a donation to show our gratitude). The room design was very comfortable and modern, with elegant features and a good AC which was very much needed in the summer heat.

Close to sights and great restaurants as well as walking distance from train station. Our host was very responsive and made sure our stay was great. We did not realize that the kitchenette was a common area- but sleeping rooms are removed from that area and each room locks. We did not hear other guests. Thanks for a great stay!
