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.).

Location excellent even for Ortigia. We spent several days exploring all of Ortigia and never found a location to match it. Luca the host is very helpful and considerate. His English is excellent as are his communication skills generally. We very much enjoyed meeting him and appreciated his assistance and his impartial recommendations for local restaurants etc in particular ( based on other guests feedback). The property itself is ideal. Everything is as described. We stayed for 8 nights but could very comfortably have stayed for longer. The apartment is tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped. The air con was excellent- simple to use and far better than many places we have stayed.

We had everything we needed and the air con worked well, which was important as it was so hot!Luca was an amazing host and gave us lots of really useful info about the town. Thanks to him we had a fabulous stay and he even checked in with us mid week to see that everything was going ok. Such a lovely man.

The location was perfect for us, in a quiet street but very close to the beach, restaurants, cathedral and other sights. As other guests have commented,Luca, the host, couldn't be more helpful. He supplied information on the immediate and surrounding area.The apartment contained everything we needed for the week.

FinlandThe apartment is very nice and well equipped and the location is great. Luca is an extremely helpful and friendly host. The two air conditioning units made sure that the heat stayed out. We travelled with a toddler, and it was very useful to have a baby cot, a high chair and a baby tub at the apartment.

United KingdomLuca will ask if everything is okay and offers to fix/change anything if there is anything that you want sorting.
Fantastic location and enjoyed our six nights in La Fate apartment . It's located towards the end of the peninsula and so close to the little shingle town beach (swam early eve and could see fish when we bought a snorkel & mask). Near cafes, beautiful streets and squares and easy to walk everywhere. Had it's own lovely terrace off the kitchen/diner - that was so relaxing. Enjoyed the terrace in the morning and evening to eat or sit back on sunchair and feel at peace. It was so handy having shared washing machines room and also the clothes rack on the terrace. Apartment had a lift too. Apartment was characterful with mezzane bedroom area and had a homely feel. Luca was very helpful and eager for us to be happy with everything also organised a taxi for our last day to get to the bus station in Syracuse.

Luca, was the most informative, helpful host we have come across in three decades of travels across Europe and Asia. He provided fulsome info on choosing places to eat, drink, swim, visit etc, etc. So appreciative, Luca! We loved our apartment and all its facilities (and our beach 100 metres away) and we talked about booking it again same time next year.

Australiaabsolutely nothing! I got way more than I expected, and I would highly recommend staying here. My one bedroom single level apartment was just perfect for a couple. It was very spacious and so beautiful/romantic.
From my host Luca to the cleaner Zalina, made me feel most welcome and even prior to my trip I was given plenty of information. I stayed by myself and I felt very safe. My apartment was just beautiful and very traditional, just like an Italian holiday dream! My friends who stayed in another apartment was so jealous, because Luca made sure I had everything I needed down to washing liquid, and I even had the most beautiful olive oil and ground-coffee to make my traditional Italian Cafitiera every morning. they even had the cafetière jug.  Like I said, my friends were so jealous, Luca would even touch base with me throughout my stay to make sure I have everything I needed. Such a beautiful kind man ☺️☺️☺️
