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 KingdomPersonally I would’ve liked softer pillows but that’s just me, I’m used to a thin pillow at home. But bed was very comfortable and warm!
Loved the facilities such as the room, small fridge, big bathroom. I loved how cosy it felt. Water was also provided every day in your room! Breakfast was great, a lot of pastries, different type of juices, fruits, and you could also order the day before which is a great system in my opinion. Gabriella made it easy for me on the day of my arrival as she gave me instructions on how to get to the hotel and how much the bus ticket would be. It was so lovely!

RomaniaThe pillows can be of a better quality and maybe to change something about the access in the room - a big old key. Another disadvantage is that the rooms are very noisy because the property is on a very circulated street, but this is not so much the fault of the property..
We liked the room which was spacious, with big windows a room full of light. All was very clean and very nice furnished.

Excellent host, friendly, helpful and provided us eith maps and valuable information. Breakfast choice was diverse and plentiful. We needed help late at night and Gabriella answered immediately. Room very clean and bright with a nice balcony from which we could see the sea. Location excellent, close to the railway station and pretty safe to walk. 12 minute walk to the city centre. We only stayed one night and we enjoyed every minute knowing that we had this place to stay overnight. The room was small but we didn't mind given the fact that we were there to explore the town. The airport shuttlebus station is just around the corner so acces was pretty easy. If we ever return to Sicily this is the place we would like to choose again. The building has an elevator. Please follow the map and Gabriela's advice and avoid trusting google maps that will take to to the city centre through some dodgy streets.

The host Gabriella was very kind and supportive and solved our little problem with the room immediately and friendly. The B&B is very good located and to reach easy and in a short time to if you arrive by train, bus or from the airport. Although it’s located directly on a buisy road with a lot of traffic also at night, it’s quiet if you close the window and use air con. Or you ask for a room that overlook the courtyard. The rooms are located in the first floor. You can need an elevator if you want or need. The rooms are very nice and spotless clean with a very comfortable bed and a modern bathroom. The way to the historic center is very short (10 min to walk). The breakfast offers a selection of Coffee, fruits, sweet treats and eggs and you can order various delicious cornettos. It was more then expected in a B&B. We enjoyed our short stay (only one night) very much and recommend Gabriella’s B&B.
