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 KingdomParking outside bit tight, but more importantly, it was available.
Perfect base for Etna and east Sicily. Quiet street. Close to Nicolosi restaurants. Owners keen to help and to make you comfortable. Spacious. Fridge full of yoghurts, milk. Pastries. Dont skip the fresh morning croissant. They will bring it to you. Equiped kitchen, incl.coffee machine. Btw if you are coming to Sicily first time and considering staying in Catania, better don't. Anywhere around is better, whether it's on coast or in hills. I enjoyed morning run to Monti Rossi, amazing views. Best tracks for running are from the north of the hill. It's best to circle around first and to run/walk up.

United KingdomNothing, it was all great. We were only there one night so only used the kitchen for making tea / having breakfast so can’t comment on cooking facilities.
A beautifully maintained spacious apartment with nicely decorated bedrooms and bathroom, a lovely front garden area and patio area where you can relax in the shade. Great location with parking at the front of the property and an easy 10 minute walk to the town centre. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They left yogurts, fruit juice, milk and others pastries and bits in the kitchen and brought us fresh pastries in the morning. There’s also a very good takeaway pizza place about 1 minute away. I would highly recommend staying here!

Absolutely immaculate, very up to date and modern. Hosts were exceptional in going above and beyond to meet all our needs (e.g. hot, fresh-baked croissants every morning), plenty of snacks, coffee and fruit, etc. We stayed in seven different locations and it was by far our favorite!

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike or even to be picky over. It might be a little far from the town's nightlife for some but suited us fine.
Overall standard of accommodation was superb. Plenty of provisions (coffee, cakes, yoghurt, milk to name a few items) supplied by the host. Fresh daily breakfast pastries and bread included was a treat. And just 2 minutes walk from the finest pizza takeaway.

PolandSometimes the inability to communicate in English was cumbersome, but with enough hand-waving and google translate we were able to figure things out 🤌🏻
The apartments were very well equipped - from snacks and water and juices to espresso machine to toiletries in the bathroom, it was all there. There is a very nice terrace with chairs and tables, allowing to chill with a glass of wine after the long day. Apartment is spacious and very clean. we had a very good time with a group of 4. The hosts are very kind, caring and thoughtful. There are multiple great restaurants within walking distance from the property.

United StatesSo thoughtful, they included so many extras like snacks and water. They even offered me a fresh baked croissant for breakfast! The b&b is walking distance to downtown Nicolosi with cute shops/ restaurants and a market on Sunday when I was there. It is an easy drive to and from Catania city and airport, Taormina, Naxos beaches, and especially easy to get to Etna. The neighbor is a your guide, and he may be able to take you to work with him if you need a ride to the base lol. I rented a car and only planned to stay here one night before I climbed Etna, but I stayed two extra because it was a great value and great base to get everywhere north of Catania. highly recommend!
