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.).

RomaniaProbably the most spectacular accommodation we had so far in many years of travelling. The apartment is a jewelry and Giuseppe, the host, who transformed the space amazingly, is the kind of person you would like to have as a friend. Just follow his recommendations and you'll discover some treasures.

A MUST STAY APARTMENT <3 My partner and I have stayed in 31 different apartments during our Europe Summer holiday and I can not put into words how amazing Giuseppe’s place was. He greets you on arrival and makes you feel right at home showing you around the most beautiful apartment you’ll ever see. I can’t fault one thing about it and wished we could stay longer. The location is excellent as it’s so central. We went to majority of the recommendations Giuseppe gave and they were all incredible and cheap in price.

The apartment is tastefully decorated by Giuseppe himself! We loved how the aircon was working well for the hot summer! The hot water in the shower was good too! Most importantly, we felt safe in the apartment (thanks to all the locking mechanisms!) Appreciate all the fantastic recommendations given by Giuseppe! We used Catania as a base to travel to Taormina, Agrigento & Palermo! No regrets staying at this apartment for our entire stay in Sicily! 👍🏻👍🏻

PolandI simply admired this apartment. What makes it really special - besides of its large space and perfect location - is the amazing combination of beautiful historic interior and all modern comforts which you want to enjoy on vacation. On top of this you get an amazing host Giuseppe who made us such a warm welcome and made sure we enjoyed our stay in the apartment and in Catania. Giuseppe is so joyful, positive and extremely friendly. He gave us an incredible number of great advices and helpful tipps. Even if we saw him only once - when he handed us the keys - we were in touch on whatsapp all the time and he was solving our questions and needs on the fly, always being kind, helpful and accomodating. We will definitely come back!

RomaniaNothing to add here related to the apartment/owner.
The apartment is located in the city centre, close to coffee shops, restaurants and Via Etnea (the promenade with shops), but not too close, so it's quiet during the night. It's a historical building, but the aparment was very tastefully renovated by the owner Giuseppe. He was very kind to help us with the information on how to reach the locations and very responsive to our requests. I highly recommend the apartment for anyone who wishes to visit Catania and nearby places to feel the italian experience right in the city centre, but in very clean and modern apartment. For us it will be the first option when we will visit again.

AustraliaThe apartment is located in a historic center building so it does not have a lift (just stairs) although is only one floor up, but not suitable for people with specific accessibility requirements
Giuseppe and Vicenzo welcomed us on our arrival, they are excellent hosts keen to resolve any questions and suggest different options around the city. Dimora del papa is located in the heart of Catania and is a beautiful completely refurbished apartment. It is very cosy , clean and spacious. You can walk to all main sites of interest and there are plenty of restaurants and bars around. Will definitely come back if we are again in Catania.
