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...).

AustraliaUnfortunately our room was above a bar in a laneway that played loud music on a Thursday night until midnight. The shower didn’t have a screen at front so water spilled over the floor.
All of the staff were so welcoming and helpful. Communication was superb from well before we arrived. We were able to store two suitcases for 5 days while we toured Sicily which made our medium sized hire car more manageable for 4 people. Thank you Antoine who assisted so kindly. The charming gentleman on reception in the evening gave us a great suggestion for a nearby family run seafood restaurant and he was nice to talk to (English) when we took the E25 shuttle to the airport. The breakfast was amazing with eggs, toast, ham, cheese, cereals, cappuccino or latte. Many thanks especially to the lovely girl in the breakfast room -so kind and welcoming. The room was absolutely beautiful in traditional style, high ceilings and gorgeous patterned tile floor.

BelgiumIt was not obvious to find the private parking on arrival and a bit stressful, as there is no way to park even just for a minute in case you get lost. The parking is located in a narrow one way street with regular traffic and requires someone from the hotel to open the gate. We got a room just next to the reception, so it was a bit noisy at times. A rather small shower and breakfast room, but perfectly fine.
Very friendly and welcoming staff, all without exception. Excellent location, easy to reach all the main Catania attractions on foot. All you need was available, including a private parking, which however is not strictly necessary as it should be possible to find a parking in the nearby streets. Via Santa Filomena just a couple of blocks away with many restaurants. A special thanks to Marcello for helping us out with the parking entry/exit!

SlovakiaThe floor has no carpets, so it's cold to walk on without slippers. Spring mattresses could be more comfy but are good enough. I couldn't get hot water in the shower at around midnight, which would have been very appreciated, since this is when I was able to arrive. With the room being big enough, same cannot be said about the wardrobes. It would be hard for more than 2 people to put their stuff away. I booked 2 rooms, the other one was a single room, around 4e cheaper, but was way smaller and contained a double bed, so even for a single person it covered a lot of space and my friend couldn't comfortably put away stuff and move around the room at the same time.
Breakfast was good. I wanted eggs and meat, which is probably not common in Italy, but this hotel got enough choices. Also the caciocavallo cheese was a nice addition. My room was spacious, the corridors have nice paintings to look at. Staff is very friendly, I could get as much espressos for and after breakfast as I wanted. All in all it was comfortable enough, and very clean.
