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.).

United KingdomThere is no free parking around the area, we always ended up finding in the next street "via e.a. pantano" is paid parking in the street but some how usually there is some spot for parking
Location was great!!! Super close to the main areas of Catania. Spacious room with balcony, private toilet which was cleaned every day and so could be the room but we chosen to leave it since was only 3 night stay. Friendly hosts and easy check in.

PolandB&B is located at 2-nd floor - but you have to climb many stairs with heavy suitcases, I wouldn't recommend it for older people and family travelling with children.
Very good central location, close to main street and not far from metro station, many restaurant and cafes in the area. Easy access by metro or bus to Catania Centrale station or to the airport. Good place for short stay -1 or 2 nights.

IrelandThe host was sometimes not easy to reach.
Spacious and well-lit apartment in Catania. There is a balcony that leads out to the back streets, so it's pretty quiet for the city centre. You can reach the market, the park and the Duomo easily on foot. For Catania, which is full of small, low apartments, this is a really nice and not expensive place.

ItalyThe attic room overlooks the stairway and the windows are not insulated so the room was noisy. The plumbing in the bathroom needed repair because it was leaking so we were not able to enjoy the shower. The bed, linen and covers also need to be replaced as they are overly used.
Very good location. Off season the prices were very good.

AustriaWe didn't receive any answer nor in the booking app nor via WhatsApp when asking for the wifi password and later how the check out works. This is something I never experienced before! Generally the room was clean but the shower could have been cleaned better (some waste left from the people before, hand soap was missing the first two days,...).
The location is awesome, directly in the center with everything nearby (supermarket, sightseeing,...). Check in was fast and easy.
