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.).

LatviaThere were many small things that I suggest to improve for the owner: - More cutlery and dishes - there were no paper towels(no other towels to dry hands or dishes), no dishes washing soap, no sponge, no salt, no sugar (perhaps not mandatory but I'd expect at least a salt for cooking to not buy 1 huge package for few days stay) - The balcony images(one of the reason we chose these apartments) were not from our rooms. There are 4 apartments on the floor, and we had a view to the other building wall, not the sunny view as in the booking advertisement. - ALL doors were creaking. That was one of the disturbing fact as each time you open the door to the other room or to the bath room, everyone was hearing during the night or in the morning. Not critical ones, and hope this will be fixed till next guest stay. In the overall, it was a good stay.
We chose this apartment as it is close to the EUROPCAR renting office in the city center. There are some good restaurants and pizzerias around. Approximately 1km from the Etna main street and 200 m from Corso Italia. There is also a METRO station. The beds were good and the kitchen furniture is new. It the price of the apartments matching the price.

MaltaThere aren't many utensils, like forks none at all, and few other cutlery and pans and pots. We didn't need it because we ate outside, but just to share this if you expect to cook.
Location is great, nice and quiet neighbourhood. 10-15 minutes walking distance from the train station. The apartment is very spacious, both double bed and sofa are very comfortable beds. Enough room for four persons for sleeping without any issues. The owners are helpful as well.

Amazing and very convenient location. Really quiet neighbourhood considering the fact it’s actual city centre. Short walking dystans to Catania Centrale on Piazza Giovanni XXIII which is the main bus and train stations both together at the same spot. You can reach out whole Sicily from there. Also local bus stop just at the doorstep which can take you to the airport in 25mins for 4e, 20 mins walk to the heart of Catania city centre as well as amazing pizzeria downstairs. Host of the apartament is a real deal, coming up with suggestions where to go and what to see and being very helpful with whatever was needed. Apartment itself also very nice with huge comfy bed and air condition. You can’t go wrong with this place! Highly recommended.

United Arab EmiratesOur stay at the Katana Residence was nothing short of exceptional, and we truly savored every moment spent in the charming suite. The only disappointment we encountered was the inability to extend our stay for an extra day, as we simply couldn't get enough of the warm hospitality, and delightful atmosphere that made our experience so memorable. We can't wait for our next visit to the Katana Residence to once again immerse ourselves in the captivating charm of this wonderful bed and breakfast.
Our recent stay at the Katana Residence in Catania, Sicily, was nothing short of extraordinary! We checked in late on April 1st, 2023, and checked out the following day, but the memories of our time there will linger for a long time. The suite we booked was charming and inviting, featuring a cozy living room area, a well-appointed eat-in kitchenette, a luxurious queen-sized bed, and a bathroom with a fantastic shower boasting incredible water pressure. The view overlooking the city was stunning, and despite being in a bustling area, the rooms were remarkably quiet, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. However, what truly set Katana Residence apart was the exceptional hospitality provided by the owner. He went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable, checking in on my wife several times as she waited for my flight to arrive and connecting us with reliable local taxi drivers. Not only did the owner accommodate a request from us after checkout, but he was also instrumental in resolving issues that arose with Booking.com. We wholeheartedly recommend Katana Residence and cannot wait to book our next stay there during our future travels to Catania. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this delightful bed and breakfast for yourself!

We stopped in 3 locations whilst we were in Sicily, this was the best apartment, it was in a lovely quiet area, great coffee shops at both ends of the street. The bed was comfortable and the host was exceptionally informative, telling us of all the best places to eat and visit. It was only a 8-10 minute walk from the main bus station and train station.
