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 KingdomIt wasn’t super clean, there was an issue with the drain pipe in the shower. Water was stoped and it was not nice smell. It was resolved on the end, but this should be checked before the room has been offered to the guests.
The property was ok, the best was location.

AustraliaBeing encouraged by BnB owner to book a Mt Etna tour through a 2nd rate tour company (Lemon Tours) . Old old falling apart vehicle & a bit poor quality overall. We then did another day trip elsewhere to Mt Etna & Taorima with other company and was very impressed.
Staff were nice and friendly and asisted all the time. Clean. Good breakfast. Location good and a short walk to cafes and sightseeing

RomaniaIt's not negative, just a heads-up: the B&B is on the 2nd floor and you can only go up stairs without an elevator. The staff is very nice and offers help with carrying your luggage. Anyway, from what I have observed, most of the buildings in the old parts of the cities in Sicily are built like this. The room we had (suite Bellini) was with a kind of loft with stairs up to a double bed, with a small kitchen below. For 3 people, the space was quite tight, it didn't look like the space viewed on the website (for other rooms). Not that comfortable for storage and moving around. The only part we didn't like was the bad smell in the room and the sewer smell in the bathroom. They tried to alleviate it with a room freshener, but it still felt unpleasant. In the bathroom, it's probably because of a poorly made drain. It feels almost all the time, even though there is ventilation and an open window. I'm sure it's just our room, from what I've seen on the website the other rooms look better, I haven't heard of any problems.
Very friendly and nice staff! We arrived in Catania in the morning and were pleasantly surprised that we could stay right away! Really appreciate it a lot! I received all the information about Catania and its surroundings and made it easy to book a trip to Etna and Alcantara. It's on steps away from Catania's old town and attractions. We stayed 4 days and visited Catania, Etna, Noto and Syracusa with Ortigia. Although they had an Italian breakfast, I also had an omelette on the menu! Very good sanitary conditions, shower with pressure and hot water without problems. Clean towels, clean room and surroundings, air conditioning, all facilities, with a pleasant atmosphere, in the city center. Many thanks!

United KingdomVery noisy traffic on the street outside and quite fumey if the balcony was open. One of our rooms was next to the breakfast room so no chance of sleeping late! Difficult to park and drop off bags and lots of steps. The area is close to a bit of a rough neighbourhood.
Very friendly staff and a warm welcome. Peaceful little courtyard and some outside space which was nice. Great omelette for breakfast. Kettle in the room and a big fridge. Close to the centre of town.

New ZealandThe surrounding area is quite sad, full of graffiti so looks like a grotto, but in saying this we felt pretty safe to walk every where. Poor old Catania needs some serious love. my only comment about the room is wear air plugs if your sensitive to traffic noise and bring your own soft pillow if you don’t like hard ones.
loved the old building High ceiling and of course Constantino was so kind and helpful.
