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.).

We had self catering accommodation within this B&B, which is located in an old Palazzo. It has original features and lots of character. The hostess is wonderfully efficient and welcoming. We had an excellent stay and I thoroughly recommend it.

SloveniaThe bedroom space is not very isolated, you can hear people in next rooms very good. It can get a bit loud if people in apartment next door are loud, especially at night time.
Our host Carmelo was very helpful with organisation of transportation and Etna tour, he also gave us some good reataurant advices. Location is great, very close to Via Etnea.

AustriaThe air conditioner was not really strong enough. But that didn’t bother us because we also had a fan which was enough. But I can imagine that during hotter days that should be mentioned. There was a little bit of mold in the shower. Maybe that should be cleaned a little bit more thoroughly. Also, I don’t know if it was only my impression but I had the feeling that our toilet did not get cleaned during our 1 week stay. But the room and the towels were clean.
Carmelo was very nice! He gave us a lot of useful information and suggestions, and he explained us everything. The location is very central, about 1-2 min away from Piazza dell‘Università. The beds were rather hard but I enjoyed it. My friend, on the other side, likes softer beds. The rooms were tidy.

Fantastic location near the historic fish market and all the fantastic restaurants but close to all the amenities of Cantania. The lady that welcomed us couldn’t do enough to welcome us and it was great that you could leave your bags on the day that you depart. All very organised and would definitely return and recommend.

SloveniaI would add pegs in the bathroom for the towels. The two that exists are hidden and my wife failed to find them. :)
The location of the apartment is in the real center. But be ready to go to the second floor without elevator, if you have heavy luggage it might be a small trouble for you. Apartment is suitable for 6 persons according to the number of the beds. :). 3 upstairs and 2 downstairs (one is double). The owner is very nice. He sent all the instructions and also met us personally and showed all the facilities. The breakfast is served in the cafeteria 3 minutes walk form the apartment. It is standard for Italy: Juice, coffee and some pastry. Apartment has air condition but not very strong and it hardly can give coolness to the upper lair of the apartment at the same time its location is good and nobody would have running nose in the morning :)). I can recommend this apartment for a short stay for students or for families without very high expectations.
