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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

The view! The property has a wrap-around balcony where you can see the ocean and Mt. Etna.

RomaniaWe had the most amazing stay in Catania. The property is just near the sea, extremely clean room and beautiful view on the balcony. The apartment is near the beach, a coffee shop and a few restaurants and just near is a bus station to arrive in the center of Catania. We enjoyed coffee with a view every morning. The host was the kindest man we ever meet in Sicily. He helped us with everything we needed and we are extremely grateful for this beautiful experience. Will definitely come back.

United StatesBathroom was a little smelly. I couldn't figure out the air conditioning.
Staff took the time to try SO hard to communicate with me; I don't speak any Italian, nor did my phone have service to use Whatsapp, the proprietor's preferred way of communicating with foreigners. Even so, they stayed with me until things were clear, and set up an alternative means of communication. And the property was gorgeous. Excellent, excellent value.

NetherlandsMimmo came down to the entrance to open the secured gate for us as we arrived quite late, whereas he could have opened the gate remotely. It was very nice of him. His daughter Christina was in constant contact in WhatsApp as her father doesn't speak English. She helped us find a place to eat at around midnight. We communicated with Mimmo using Google translate. Everything was great. Mimmo also arranged great breakfast and he went out again to get fresh Grenate for us ! Unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy the private beach ! Highly recommend.

Czech RepublicThe host tried to talk with us, but we had to use a Google translator, as he does not understand English at all. Communication was a bit problematic. Although the host's daughter sent us how-to-get-in instructions in advance, it was difficult to find the B&B, because the main gate mentioned in her message was locked and you get the key upon after arrival. We used a different gate from the opposite side. The B&B has its private beach, but we didn't find it. It's not directly next to the house, you have to go about 4 minutes. After we crossed the main street, we got lost, saw no beach and went back. It would be helpful to create an easy map of how-to-get-in and how-to-find-the-beach. Maybe the host told us the way, but (as written above), we didn't understand. There was some problem with electricity. Every time we turned the air conditioning on, the fuses blew within several minutes and we remained in the dark. Four times I went downstairs and repaired them, after the fifth blackout I gave up and we went to sleep without air conditioning (and electricity as well). Fortunately the night wasn't extremely hot, so we managed to fall asleep. To be fair, the host apologized for this twice the next morning - the problem was temporary, of course. Overall we were satisfied, the accommodation is very nice, but there is a space for improvement
The room is situated in 2nd floor and has a terrace with beautiful landscape and sea view. Mimmo, the host, was very kind and helpful. The room was very clean and nice, as was the bathroom. We were offered to choose our breakfast-preference and our wish really came true.

MaltaBreakfast very plain and simple. Person taking care of B&B was never on time to prepare breakfast. No lift and we were on the third floor. Images on FB give an unrealistic expectation. Price very expensive and no value for money

DenmarkMimmo was the kindest host we have had in our many travels. He gave us the best welcome and introduction to Sicilia. Free parking right in front of the apartment. Access to a more private beach area. In close range to Catania, the Castello and Taormina. And a very nice sicilian breakfast on the terrace. Highly recommendable.
