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 are 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 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.).

FranceAndrea has been a wonderful host and provided a delightful experience. We has been super redponsive and helpful, everything was smooth and simple in Catania. Also, late check-in after midnight (in person) was definitely a big plus. That is the experience we were looking for in Catania as we spent one night and then hard to the other parts of Sicily. Thank you so much Andrea!

HungaryWe had 3 little problems: the bath was letting the water on the floor though we closed the glass door while showering, the door of the wardrobe was loose, and the balcony was extremly small with totally dry plants. The size of the balcony was not indicated when we checked the photos on Booking.com which all together was a little bit disappointing. However according to my opinion, all of the problems can be easily solved.
The location was way more than perfect! It was very convenient. The size of the bedroom was adequate. The cleaniness was 100%, the bed sheets , the bathroom and everything was very neat. The area was safe and getting into the building with our key card was very easy. We got very clear communication and useful advice where to eat and how to transport ourselves. Totally helpful assistance and 100% useful information.

United KingdomTiny additions to the facilities would make a significant difference e.g. a knife as well as the 2 teaspoons provided, a couple of glasses for teeth cleaning or to enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony, saucers that fit the 2 cups provided, a chair to put clothes on. The water could have usefully been hotter and there is a problem with leakage from the shower tray.
We received a warm welcome from Andrea who provided useful recommendations about where to eat and responded promptly to queries and requests. The room itself is elegantly if minimally appointed with pluses being the delightful balcony overlooking a small central square, excellent sound proofing and a comfortable bed. Not to mention the cello! The fridge and kettle were welcome too and the security was very good.

Romaniawe enjoyed a wonderful stay at Sinfonia Suites. The location is in the center of the city, a stone's throw from restaurants, cafes, shops and all kinds of attractions, the room was very nice, clean, quiet and had a free balcony overlooking the inner courtyard, which we could enjoy a tea looking at the beautiful sky of Sicily. Last but not least, the host, Andrea, is a wonderful person, extremely available and a wealth of useful and interesting information about Catania and its surroundings. Both for the accommodation and for the kindness of the host, we recommend this location to everyone.

DenmarkThe English speaking host, Andrea, was really kind and helpful - not only at check in, but during the whole week I stayed there. He gave me good recommendations about sights, restaurants and other useful stuff. I could easily get in contact with him, if I had a question or needed help. He always answered within a few minutes. The room was big and clean, the bed was comfortable, and the aircondition was good and not too noisy. Even though there are restaurants very close to the room, it was very silent in the room, when the door to the balcony was closed. I would definetely choose to stay here again, if I will return to Catania.

United StatesAndrea was great , but just to let you know ( there’s no shampoo/ condition / soap ect so you will or hopefully already have toiletries❤️And there are quite a bit stairs ( not bad there marble ) but if you have any disabilities I don’t think it would work well at all ( but he has 2 ) maybe other one has elevator ..
The location is right in the heart of the town . So it does get a little busy at night and you can hear people but shuts down around 11-12, you are on one of the busy streets with restraints and many things to do . Everything is basically walkable . Plaza right down the street . Clean big room .
