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.).

The best location to visit all the city attractions, restaurants and shops and yet incredibly quiet. The hosts - Manuel and Ricardo - who were on hand to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The apartment is very clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need!

MaltaNothing. Can't wait to return!
The location was great - right in the city centre but quiet enough to sleep at night. The allocated parking space was really convenient as parking outside is quite a feat plus it was super helpful with a toddler. The fact that the apartment was ground floor meant we did not have to struggle much with our luggage. The kitchen included everything needed for breakfast already but Manuele got us fresh pistacchio croissant to die for every morning from a local cafetteria. Wine, beer and aperitivo was also complimentary and you could easily sit in the porch in the evening to have a sip. The apartment was super clean and had quite a spacious bathroom compared to what's custom of B&B's in Catania city centre. Manuele provided us with recommendations of restaurants, gelaterias and places to visit and we definitely were not disappointed! We will be returning for sure!

We loved everything about our 4 night stay! It was so nice to be picked up a the airport rather than having to try to navigate our way to the apartment. The hosts were so kind and made great suggestions. The location is perfect and within walking distance to the center of town, bus stop, many churches, restaurants, and the fish market. The fresh cornetti each morning were delicious too!

Location is excellent. We could securely park our car in the property’s private compound and walk to all Catania’s major attractions and shopping which are just minutes away. The host was warm and caring. He gave us great recommendations on eateries and interesting places to visit. The apartment is very clean and well-furnished. The host is thoughtful in providing all that you would need. Bed is comfy too and the shower very good. The kitchen is fully equipped and the host even gave us a new set of knives for our cooking. We enjoyed very much the lovely bottle of wine and fresh pistachio croissants for breakfast every morning by compliments of the host. The host and his family were so nice to us. Staying at this property was just super and like home to us. Thank you so much, Manuele and Riccardo, our wonderful hosts!!

Our hosts, Giuseppe (Father) Manuele (Son) and Ricardo (Son) were so very welcoming. We were met upon arrival at Catania airport and personally driven to Mamarico Apartamente by Giuseppe and Manuele. They provided many good recommendations for us as first time visitors to Sicily. Manuele offered to stay in communication with us via "whatsapp" throughout out stay, to answer any questions or address any concerns we may have. This was very helpful. Our apartamente was exceptionally clean, accommodating and comfortable. The location was perfect for us, as we explored the various historical districts on foot each day. Only a side street away from Piazza de Duomo! Breakfast arrived to a basket outside our door each morning, fresh Pistachio Croissants (we were asked for our flavor preference) that paired deliciously with the Espresso. Beverages (a nice bottle of Wine, local Beer, Sodas, Juice & Water) along with Yogurt, Breads, Fruit spreads and Butter were stocked in our kitchenette much to our enjoyment. In the bathroom, there were toiletries provided as well for our convenience. The shower had multiple options. Rain head, side spray or hand held all with strong water pressure and choice of hot & steamy to cold & refreshing temperatures. There was also a washing machine with detergent pods available, which we found useful. The AC was so efficient, we actually turned it off at night as the rooms cooled down and we opened our windows and balcony doors. Safety was not an issue, our entry door was within a gated courtyard, we had keys to both doors. Upon checkout, Ricardo personally drove us to the rental car agency at the airport so we could secure our car for the remainder of our trip through Sicily. I highly recommend a stay at Mamarico Apartamente!

United KingdomInstructions for the meeting point at the airport could have been clearer. It was actually outside terminal 3 ( not room 3), This is a very short walk from the terminal where we arrived.
The location is excellent - very close to the 2 main squares and lots of eating places. Despite that, the apartment is very quiet due to its inner courtyard location. The airport transfer was very useful, and a real bonus. We were also given a lift to the rail station for our onward journey. Our hosts were great and easy to contact. This is a really good choice of accommodation if you want to explore this very interesting city. Highly recommended!
