Come posso lasciare una recensione?

How can I leave a review?

Pronunciation

re-cen-SIO-ne — four syllables, stress on the third.

When to use it

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.

What it means

'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.

Variations

Express satisfaction genuinely — Italian hoteliers really value heartfelt compliments

Posso lasciare il suo nome nella recensione?

Can I mention your name in the review?

Mini Dialogue

— Ho avuto un soggiorno meraviglioso. Come posso lasciare una recensione? — Grazie mille! Può scrivere su Google o Booking.com. Le mando il link via email. — Volentieri. Può tornare qui quando vuole!

Cultural Note

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.
