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.).

UkraineA kitchen like place (a place with kettle, coffee machine, sink, ) was in an abandoned state. There are a lot cleaning things but not for tea.
Nice location, close to Villa Bellini garden. I checked into apartment in the middle of the night. It was easy due to owner's instructions. The room was clean. Also I had access to a private bathroom across corridor with free toiletries, hairdryer etc. All like described. The stuff is very friendly. Thank you.

HungaryUnfortunately, there were numerous things that we did not like. We stayed at quite a few places in Sicily therefore we had comparison. When we arrived there were no glasses, or a cold water offered, that was the usual gesture at every other place we stayed at. We booked a room with 3 beds (3 adults), but one of the beds was a truckle bed, resembling the ones in the military. Not very comfortable. In our room there was a wardrobe, but there were 2-3 thick blankets thrown in there and only two hangers were inside, so basically it was useless as there was no place to put our clothes. My mum refolded the blankets and put them on the top shelf for us to have same space. There was mold on the wall. In the bathroom the shower cabin was on the edge of disintegration and everything was calcareous. The kitchen is tiny and poorly equipped. The internet signal is very weak for a day we thought there is no internet at all as our phones could not connect to it. Turned out that it is not strong enough to be used in our room, so every time we had to stand in the corridor to use it. A lady comes every day to clean, but the objects in the hall our dusty. She is the one we met when we arrived. I tried to communicate with her in italian, as it worked very well in every other place we stayed at. She was not really open to answering our questions, she did not even show us the kitchen, wifi etc.
The location of the accomodation is really great, easily approachable and in walking distance from the centre of Catania. The building is nice and clean, freshly renovated. We had a private bathroom which is a plus. The contact person was always quick to reply to our questions.

BelarusThings we don’t like: - we did not receive directions from the host how to get in the property. On the door there was some paper note with something written in Italian which we don’t speak and some phone number even if we find a way to call this is not possible to explain what we need. By chance we met people who spoke English and were Italians so they helped us to get in after an hour going back and fourth trying to get some help. - there is no wi-if which might be our issue since we didn’t read carefully enough to understand that but it is XXI century and we didn’t expect to have no wi-fi in any developed part of the world, it is just a must-have - we didn’t see the host which isn’t an issue if there was an agreement in advance how to get keys, leave keys and pay. In our case without knowing codes from lockers we were forced to put keys just on the doors handle with potential to have troubles with host later if someone else decides to use it.
Things we liked: - Property location is good, quite close to the main walking street - Very heigh ceilings which is very unusual

The room was amazing, lofty, high cealings, gave the Italian feeling, even if only for a night.

PolandHappy absolutely everything, perhaps only 2 things I would mention: no WiFi at my time and water in shower draining down slow. However, I guess some things were still in fixing after lockdown
Clean, soft design, high baroque ceiling a special feature, comfort of stay, freshness, bathroom facilities, location (3 minutes walk to central Etnea street and beautiful Bellini park) property owner and staff attitude (helpful, responding, my room was cleaned every day, towels refreshed), lovely atmosphere of typical Catania residence, terrace up the building, caffe just across the street with Sicilian specialties open 6am till midnight, staying independent, feeling homelike, full set of towels and bed linen white clean, bed nicely made. I am absolutely happy having had this apartment instead of hotel, it was a great plus to my experience of Catania and sicilian atmosphere. My recommendation with no hesitation! 😊
