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.).

Fabulous location near all the activity in Ortigia including the markets. Many restaurant choices nearby and a great place to walk around Ortigia ftom. Car parking (free) right out front or paid carparking nearby. Beautiful room and facilities where you could watch the world go by from the balcony. Helpful host who recommended a fabulous place for a meal that she frequents. One of our best accommodation stops in the past five weeks in Italy.

United StatesPerfectly situated on Ortigia Island, especially if you will have a car. There is a free car park across from the building but also paid lots nearby should it be full. We received clear instructions for check-in and were allowed to store our bags before our room was ready. Communication with the staff was always prompt and courteous. They really care about service and hospitality and surprised us with unexpected touches. The two-bedroom flat is really spacious, beautifully appointed and comfortable for long stays. WiFi was strong was reliable. Ortigia makes for an excellent base to explore southeastern Sicily. We loved our four nights here and would definitely return in the future!

United KingdomThere is some traffic and street noise from the square below the residence which may bother light sleepers. The 'sea view' from the Cathedral room is actually a very nice harbour view. The second balcony faces the building opposite.
The hosts and welcome are absolutely excellent. Friendly, charming, available - nothing was too much trouble and any answers we needed were more or less immediately provided. The location is perfect for exploring Ortigia and Syracuse with everything within easy walking distance. The historic centre is literally on your doorstep.

United StatesThe building stairwell had a really loose bannister. But all else was perfect!
This apartment is wonderful! It is on the edge of Ortigia Island with great parking nearby and sea views and breezes. It's decorated nicely and is very spacious. We had our own temperature controls as well. It was very quiet and we never heard anyone else I. the other apartments. The location was terrific, we were able to walk everywhere. We slept well on the comfortable beds, the bathroom and kitchen were well equipped, they even have a washing machine /dryer combo, there was no elevator but its an easy walk up to the apartment. Mauro was super helpful , he met us at the car and got us upstairs and settled. He also gave us good local recommendations for restaurants which were great! I highly recommend Autenica Ortigia!
