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 KingdomThe hotel is a couple of km outside of Paterno, and public transport is not reliable A car is preferred. Taxis are expensive from Catania airport, so it’s advisable to book in advance But Francesca kindly drove us to Paterno from the hotel. Paterno is a quaint town with the castello Normanno sitting atop of the town overlooking the plains of Catania…
Francesco, his wife and staff were excellent. Making sure we were comfortable and fed. The hotel was very “tranquilo” with a pleasant ambience

GermanyThe location was quite remote, but for us it was perfect! I would totally skip a place in Catania for this lovely fattoria :)
We loved everything! Francesco and Angela were the perfect hosts and made us smile on so many occasions with lovely and thoughtful little surprises. The food was amazing (If you’re a vegan, don’t worry), the pool was very large with a beautiful view of Etna and the room was recently renovated and nicely decorated. Francesco gave us some great information and tips about our next stop on the northern coast of Sicily.

United KingdomNothing I can think of!
We had an absolutely wonderful time at La Fattoria dei Nonni. Angela and Francesca have created a beautiful place of peace and relaxation and are incredible hosts. We loved the delicious, generous breakfasts and evening meals, swimming and relaxing by the pool and admiring the stunning views of Etna. It is a good location for visits to Taormina, the beach and up to Etna.

United KingdomHaving our flight cancelled again so we could stay longer!
We stayed here because we needed a hotel after our flight was cancelled at Catania airport. Francisco was truly amazing, he couldn't do enough for us, greeting us at the gate, drinks, ice creams, fruit all brought by him during astoundingly hot weather. He and Angela made the most incredible meal for us on our first night with some of the best Sicilian food I have ever sampled. They made our stay truly memorable and we can't wait to go back. I cannot stress how amazing our stay was thanks to Francesco and Angela

We loved everything. A beautiful combination of staying at a hotel, a B&B and someone’s home - a rustic feeling with professional yet personalised service. We had a beautiful airy room with a view over the countryside, more than enough space for our family of 5. The pool and surrounding area was beautiful with a view to Mt Etna. We were constantly surprised by the generosity and thoughtfulness of our hosts - bringing us little extras to enjoy by the pool - fruit, drinks, ice creams etc. Our kids didn’t want to leave and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we stayed an extra day. Also the best food we’ve had in Sicily, both the generous breakfast and the beautiful dinners (we had dinner twice it was so good). We left feeling very spoiled and relaxed. Thank you Francesco and Angela!

SwitzerlandThe location is like an oasis next to the Etna. The owners are extremely welcoming and generous, we felt immediately comfortable. There is the option to eat dinner, which we strongly recommend. We had an early flight in the morning and were not able to attend breakfast. However, Francesco provided us with a delicious sandwich and a banana. We would strongly recommend this lovely agriculturo.
