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.).

SwedenThe breakfast is very limited in choice and there was no vegetables at all (nevertheless the quality of the breakfast is high). Hotel parking costs 10 EUR - we did not use it and were looking only for a free (or cheaper) public parking around the hotel - sometimes not easy!
The location in the city center is very good. High ceilings and nice décor in common areas are making the impression of real palace. The room we got was quite large. Bed was spacious enough and comfy. We also had air conditioner with the possibility to control it. The staff, including personnel responsible for breakfast, is very nice. Breakfast choice was moderate but one will not go hungry after it. :-) There is very nice and cozy inner yard adjacent to the breakfast and reception area. Definitely recommend it for stay in Catania! Stayed in July 2022.

MaltaWe have been going to this hotel for the past 5 years and noticed that no upgrades have been made. The hotel needs a refurbishment to keep up with its previous standard.
The hotel is close to the city historic centre and also to the train station which is roughly 12 minutes by walk. The cleanliness and the friendly staff. We also had a lovely terrace with our room.

MaltaThe location, while reasonably close (15 min walk) to the city square, is in a somewhat dodgy-looking area. There are worse areas in Catania, however, and the city itself is somewhat dodgy to begin with, so that is not really the hotel's fault.
Rooms are adequately-sized, clean and air-conditioned (although lacking a kettle amd ironing facilities). Free bottled water is provided in the room mini-bar. The en suite bathroom serves its purpose and is clean, albeit with limited storage space for your toiletries. The breakfast is good, and the restaurant also serves a tasty lunch and dinner, which one can enjoy in the nice hotel courtyard, al fresco. Staff are professional and helpful. On-site underground parking is on a first come first served basis, and is of the valet type (your car keys have to be left at the reception as presumably staff might need to move your car to allow another car out). We were lucky and always found on-site parking available, but places are quite limited.

United StatesIt was obvious that they were shorthanded a few times but that was never the fault of the staff in attendance. Wish they had served Granita & brioche for breakfast as is the typical Sicilien breakfast during hot weather 😀
Good location. Nice courtyard for breakfast & dinner. Large selection of breakfast foods, which were fresh each day, even though they were generally the same
