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.).

SlovakiaIt's a pity breakfast wasn't offered due to restrictions at the time of our stay. We missed a little fridge or minibar in the room.
A perfect location in the heart of Ortigia, a wonderful view worth-waking up earlier to catch the sunrise, clean and spacious room, a willing assistant, very nice. We decided to prolong our stay for one more day as we liked it so much.

SloveniaThe property is located in the heart of Ortigia, in a fountain square. Other sights are within walking distance, the car can be parked in front of Ortigia in one of the paid parking lots. Due to the current situation, breakfast was not available and the price was adjusted accordingly. Instructions for access to the room are provided in the form of a video, which makes access very easy.

ItalyWe were maybe a bit unlucky, but we got the room in the top floor that needed a little climb through steep, narrow stairs, that I would not recommend to everyone (read elder people, small kids, large luggages, etc.). Additionally, the room was very tiny; not a big deal for us, but taking clothes in and from luggages was quite a puzzle sometimes. Finally, the only window did not have any blind, meaning that at 6:30 in the morning you had the sun entering the room.
Communication with the host was perfect along the whole way. Easy instructions for self check-in also allowed for more flexibility. Location is simply perfect, in one of the most central and important squares of Ortigia. Room was clean, and air-co was strong enough to cool down the room in a few minutes.

Belgium- despite perfect location, it is located above a bar/restaurant on piazza archimede and therefore there is (a lot) of noise until 1 am + other noise throughout the night (trucks, motorbikes, etc)

PortugalAccessibility wasn’t the easiest (many stairs to climb), the room was not very big and there weren’t any wall windows. Still, there were windows on the ceiling which allowed us to get some natural light.
The room was super clean and bedding was super comfortable and fresh. It’s located just in the center of Ortigia which was great to get to the most interesting parts of Syracuse.

United KingdomOwner was slow or non responsive to questions. Owner sent us to a parking that was €34 over night whilst many surrounding car parks were only €15. Breakfast was provided in a bar downstairs so not really a breakfast (a savoury pastry and a coffee, or sweat pastry, coffee and juice). We were charged €4 for a very small glass of orange juice because having a cappuccino (rather than coffee) meant that juice is not included, we were advised. At best very confusing and underwhelming. We did not feel the owner cared about our experience - so very disappointing.

The owners were very helpful with our last minute booking when there was a problem with another property's accomodations. Their recommendations for restaurants were fantastic.
