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 StatesThe bathroom could be bigger and perhaps better lighting in bathroom and room. No other complaints. A charming place to stay.
Breakfast was amazing. Great choice of foods and local specialities. Service on terrace was wonderful. The attendees were always there to ask if another coffee was needed. All staff were very kind, warm, and welcoming and going the extra mile to help guests. can't sing their praises enough. Location cannot be bettered. I was grateful for the valet service for our large 6 person vehicle and everything went off without a hitch. The communication between staff and I prior to our arrival and planning the parking/valet was perfect thank to the professionalism of the staff. Staff served us cocktails on the beautiful terrace one evening and it was amazing. Again, the staff was so warm and friendly main for a great experience. Siracusa and Ortigia are so beautiful - my favorite spot in all of Sicily.

United StatesAll good here!
Henry’s House is an artsy and amiable 14-room boutique hotel with a lovely antique decor. Located on the farthest reach of the Ortigia island, it’s a few blocks from the noisier streets and situated on beautiful blue Mediterranean waters that were right outside our room’s window! Everything was comfortable, breakfast was a delight, we loved it. Francesco and the entire staff could not have been more friendly, kind and helpful. Such a great hotel!

United StatesNothing! It was perfect! Bit of a splurge for us, but totally worth it!
Perfect location near the Duomo in Ortiga. The room was lovely, decorated with abstract art, with a beautiful city view. We enjoyed the breakfast on the patio overlooking the water. They even had a complimentary minibar! The very best part was the incredibly kind and helpful front desk staff. They helped with dinner reservations, valet parking, directions and advice. 5 stars for service!

Staff extremely helpful both in providing recommendations and in responding to requests for coffee, bedding, etc. great location on Ortigia. Valet parking worth the price.

United Statesit took a little time to get warm water in the shower....but that was workable.
The hotel was in a good location, right by the water....with views of it from the dining area and some rooms. The staff was wonderful, kind and accommedating. It was a short walk to the fort and also the duomo. It's old fashion but yet really charming. The breakfasts were delishish.... we ate the food that the Sicilians normally eat for breakfast -- and it was very good. the food in general in this town was very good. I would absolutely. stay here again.

AustraliaNothing. Outstanding in every way.
We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Henry's House - we had high expectations from all the excellent reviews and beautiful photographs and it did not disappoint. Indeed it exceeded them. Its popularity is well deserved. Added to all of this should be noted the outstanding staff - they were so helpful and obliging. They even helped us find an extra night of accommodation elsewhere in the city when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. Don't hesitate - book here.
