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.).

RomaniaGiosi is an exceptional host and a good communicator! We enjoyed everything about our stay here. The room is very spacious with an elegant ceiling, clean and the breakfast was tasty and exactly what we needed to start the day :) The location is great, we had a wonderful view over a street park, is close to the main street Via Etnea and also to a 10-15 minutes walk to the train/bus station. Below the accommodation is a small family restaurant "Il tubo", with friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommend! Everything was top tier! I would come back in a heartbeat :)

FinlandThe room (3 bedroom room) was huge and very beautiful! It was also very nice to have own balcony. The room was also very clean and it was equipped with a small fridge, which was very practical. I think the location was also very good. The owner was very friendly and helpful. I was able to check in quite late at night.

The location is perfect - in the city center of Catania, close to the main attractions. Giordano is an excellent host, so kind and helpful. He helped us in everything that we needed (the tours, how to catch the bus, etc). The breakfast is really good and the rooms are huge and comfortable. I will really return to this place!

Czech RepublicExternal bathroom was a little bit uncomfortable, but we knew about it before from the discription.
Accommodation was really nice, the photos are realistic. The owner was super kind and helpfull. Location is really close to city center. Breakfast were good but croissant and coffee arent really average for most europeans, but for two days it was fine for us. The city center in Catania has beautiful night atmosphere during the summer, light bulbs, music and food everywhere :)

United KingdomThe bathroom shower could do with a re-fit as the shower riser rail did not support the shower head.
Location was perfect. Only minutes to a large variety of restaurants and easy walking to all Catania’s historic sights. Our room was huge; the external bathroom provided plenty of hot water. Giordano, our host, was exceptional at communication before and during our stay in Catania. He helped arrange our Etna, Alcantara tour (which was fabulous).

GermanyThe accommodation vas very nice. It was close to the city center so we didn't have to walk a lot. The host was very polite and he gave us advices about the town and transportation. We were very pleased with the breakfast - every morning we would get a croissant and extra biscuit with caffee or juice. Everything is easy to arrange. The room was spacious - air conditioning, 2 beds (one double size bed and one one size bed ). The bathroom was in the hallway but was close to our room. A bonus was a very nice ceiling.

AustraliaAmazing host! Such a lovely family who make your stay extra special. Breakfast and coffee in the morning included. Giordano send me information through WhatsApp about how to get to the place. Within 30 minutes from landing at the airport I arrived to the place. The room had beautiful high, decorated ceilings and large windows which you could open and look at the square. Bathroom, internet, everything was fine. The city and main attractios are in walking distance. Very easy to take a bus to the beach as well. I could message any time and he helped me with everything. Gave me tips about where to go to dinner or which bus to take. I could even leave my luggage there after check out to enjoy my day without having to carry my luggage. I had a great time, thanks to this family and would definitely recommend to stay here and enjoy Catania.

PolandAs stated before you can hear everything inside the apartment and outside on the street. Best advice is to bring ear plugs. This place has no refrigerator or coffee pot (although a plastic water heater was provided for my tea upon request).
The host was very responsive and helpful. Bed was comfortable, place clean. Very good value for the money.

BelgiumUnfortunately, the main gate of the building where the B&B is located is extremely loud. So we were all awaken early by the repeating closing of this gate. Not everyone (not a problem for us) would like to get out of the bedroom, cross the corridor to reach the bathroom/restrooms.
A very pleasant and helpful guest, Giodano helped me understanding the system for the parking in the vicinity. He was very friuendly with us. The location is very good, just a few hundred meters from the (touristic) restaurant strett, and surrounded by non-touristic but still very nice restaurants. Just a few minutes walk to the main attractions. Breakfast was sufficient in quantity, if not the finest for Italy. Huge bedrooms, clean bathrooms.
