How can I leave a review?
re-cen-SIO-ne — four syllables, stress on the third.
Ask at check-out when you have had a good experience and want to help the hotel. Positive reviews are enormously valuable for smaller Italian hotels.
'Recensione' (review) is now a fully integrated word in Italian, borrowed from 'recensire' (to review, originally for books/films). Online reviews on Booking.com, TripAdvisor, and Google are critical for Italian hospitality businesses.

Naming a specific helpful staff member in a review means a great deal to them
Online reviews are existentially important for smaller Italian hotels, B&Bs, and agriturismo properties. A string of positive reviews can fill a calendar for a season; negative ones can devastate a small family business. If you enjoyed your stay, a review is a genuine gift.
