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.).

Czech RepublicThe flat equipment is older and mismatched, the bathroom ventilation isn't the best and in general the bathroom could use a deep clean. There is no assigned parking.
We overall really enjoyed our stay with Daniele - it was comfortable for a very good price. We liked the location in walking distance to the old town of Catania and most monuments you might want to visit, the flat was spacious and had most things you might need, communication with the owner was great, AC worked well and kept us warm in December with no problem and it was a nice place to stay for a few days as a family of 4. The parking situation was also great - we always parked in the street apartment is located in.

The Gelateria downstairs Zio Pietro is amazing! Also just sitting on the balcony watching life pass by, reading a book. Then go for a stroll in the centre. If you are two families you can all stay at a good price. So many beds!

United KingdomNothing - we couldn’t get to grips with the air con so the flat was really hot - but that was our fault not the property owners
Perfect location - clean - comfortable - we asked our contact for a hairdryer - there was one attached to the wall in the bathroom - but three ladies trying to get showered and ready at the same time a separate hairdryer would be handy - our contact Sam came to the flat with her own one! Ten out of ten for customer service. Close to the bus station (for airport) & 5 mins walk to the town centre for bars, restaurants & tourist spots

United KingdomAlthough they didn't bother us there were many ants so as long as you keep on top of your pots and keep food in the fridge you won't have a problem with them. The upstairs room could get very hot as there was no air con so maybe another unit or a fan could be a good addition.
Dani was a very friendly host he gave us info about local events and the best things to do in the area. The beds were comfy and the air con was effective which was nice to get back to after a long day of exploring the beautiful city.

HungaryVery chatty and helpful host and lady who greeted us on our early arrival. Clean bedding and comfy beds. Great location in the heart of Catania - central train station & main bus stations all within 20mins walk and City's main attractions also very close. Recommend for anyone who'd like to have a look around this part of Sicily. Grazie

United KingdomGreat location for seeing the centre of Catania by foot. Was easy to find the apartment (quick tip; when retrieving the key, the key box is *outside* the building, on the pavement. We missed it at first glance as it's partially obscured by someone else's larger box). There was a restaurant opposite ('Steak House' was in the name) that served enormous pizzas (three shared pizzas completely filled a family of 5!) and best value and delicious ice cream was available in the ice-cream parlour just below the apartment. The shower water pressure was strong.

RussiaDo not leave anything sweet opened properly - otherwise the ants will come. There aren't many of them and they don't bite, but they are here. The electricity is also a bit weak and a fuse can be blown - do not turn on the cooker and the kettle at one time!
The location is ideal for the city of Catania - both the beaches, the restaurants and the historical sites are within 10 minutes walk! The rooms are spacious, and the kitchen is provided with enough cutlery and utensils.

Italyeven though all Catania’ buildings are old, the building was very old and decrepit. the door to the main building has no lock and once closed it was stuck and almost impossible to open. no sign to indicate not to close it. the stairs to the first floor smell bad. overall the apartment wasn’t bad as the building but not as expected.
the apartment is in a central position. main points of interest in Catania are within walking distance.
