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.).

AustriaNoisy during week due to fish market outside - so at 6 in the morning, I woke up many times without alarm.
Perfect location. Right in the center, Marco was a great host - explained everything about the apartment. Uncomplicated arrival, even we checked in earlier as the apartment was ready. Complimentary breakfast, tea, coffee, etc.

PolandThere were issues with water going down in the shower.
Amazing location just in the city center above the fish market and 1 minute walk from Duomo. We were a bit worried it might be a bit noisy due to the location as we are light sleepers but there was no issues at all, the soundproofing is fine. Apartment is cosy and very clean. Lost of space to store luggage. Comfy beds. Kitchen has everything you need to cook fresh seafood you buy at the market downstairs. The host is amazingly friendly and responsive, he answered all our questions, helped with all our additional requests and even helped us find the shop that sells the vine we were looking for. I was super impressed by all the attention to the details - the way the shower kit was packed, the snacks and water. One of the best experiences we had over the last couple of years. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to Catania! <3

BulgariaFor me the pillow was a bit hard, and the noises in the morning from the market, even the flat is soundproofed. But this definitely didn’t affect of our stay negatively!
The flat is very nice and it offers everything that you need! It’s clean and comfortable.Marco is very polite and friendly, and he made us feel very welcome. I liked that he left us something for breakfast, coffee, tea, water, etc. even though it wasn’t included in the price. In addition there were few bottles of local wine, on a very good price that we’ve managed to try. The location is perfect, just may be could be few steps away from the fish market, but it’s near to bus, main street, and all beautiful places that are mandatory to visit in Catania! Thank you, Marco!

Czech RepublicFor the first time there' s nothing to mention here...
This is a dream accommodation in the very center of Catania. If you love culture, history, city life or amazing food, trust me this is the best choice for you. We will always remember the moments when we went to the outdoor market for breakfast oysters. And we would buy seafood and super fresh fish for lunch. The apartment itself is very spacious and tastefully renovated. We liked that the owners didn’t regret spending some extra money on quality materials and equipment, including the appliances. There is absolutely everything in the kitchen, if you want to cook, nothing is missing. We are sensitive towards cleanliness, which is perfect. So was the Wi-Fi. We were also pleasantly surprised by the amount of complimentary items that the owners prepared for us. From free coffee, a wide selection of tees to various snacks that we couldn't even eat. Communication with the owner is just great. Rachele & Marco, thank you so much for the great welcome and professional care during our stay. This was one of the best accommodations we have ever been to.

LiechtensteinNothing. It might be nice to have softer pillows. But that is a matter of taste.
Very nice, modern, spacious, very clean apartment in a perfect location right in the centre overlooking the fish market. (No fish smell 😉) All sights within walking distance, great places to eat nearby. 100% recommendation. We will be back! It is also worth mentioning that Marco is a great host. Not only did he give us good tips and pick us up, but when I left my passport at the apartment at 6:30am, he even brought it to the airport. That is more than hospitality 😊.

MaltaIt was super clean and nicely done, we had everything we needed and more. Marco was very kind to us, let us stay at the apartment way beyond the check out time and also waited for us as we had a very late check in too. The property is in a central location just few steps away from all places of interest. We really enjoyed it there very much!

PolandI really enjoyed my stay at A piscaria. Firstly - great location - right in the center of the old town. I will immediately point out that despite the bustle of the street, there was silence in the hotel, it is perfectly soundproofed. The host took care of everything - from the decor to the equipment. It was very clean. Guests have at their disposal coffee, tea, olive oil, spices, and even an oven or juicer to prepare juice from fresh Sicilian oranges. I will also add that the host welcomed us with local drinks and fresh fruit, which was very nice. Apartament is spacious, there is a lot of space. There is nothing to wonder - just book the facility and come here!😊 Thank you Marco🤗

United StatesShould be aware that the bathroom has a macerator toilet, and the property does not want you to flush toilet paper (there is a sign in the bathroom specifically stating not to flush toilet paper or any other sanitary products) and use the waste basket instead.
Very clean and comfortable. Great central location. Apartment is decently soundproofed from the sounds of the market, although we enjoyed listening to the sellers! Apartment looks to have been renovated recently. Appreciated the coffee, tea, snacks, fruit, yogurt, and water. Smart TV has streaming services. Great value, at least in the off season.
