Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

The location of the hotel was ideal being situated in the centre of the town and within easy walking distance of the station and with many good bars and restaurants close by. The hotel had a very pleasant old world feel to it, which was lovely. Without exception, the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good with a good selection of food.

SwitzerlandAt night, because the hotel is located in a small side street, it can get a bit (very) noisy, depending on which party passes by.
Upon arrival I was a bit disappointed to learn that this small hotel had no special connection at all to James Joyce apart from its name and the fact that while living in Trieste the Irish writer liked to hang out in the neighborhood. That said, the location is rather convenient to reach anything in center city within minutes walking. My room, although being out of reach of the elevator (which only goes to the second-highest floor), was spacious and comfortable, with some water bottles provided, as well as a generous number of towels. The breakfast was so so, ... it starts at 7:30 am, and a few times items were often missing at the beginning. Sometimes there was no fruit (apart from perhaps a mandarine), sometimes no egg (which when it did exist was usually dry and not expertly prepared). Most items were exactly the same on the five mornings, even the music ... always the one CD by the "Jazz Liberators," a certain lack of inspiration that unfortunately permeates the place, which would benefit from someone shaking things up a little, especially the dull breakfast, at hardly any extra cost.

The hotel is very well located, in a nicely renewed historic building. The neighbourhood is very lively and full of local people, having a drink, coffee, or eating out. Sea is very close too. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Good places and real Italian vibe are in the neighbourhood.
