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.).

RussiaOur trip to Sicily was unforgettable. Catania, a city that enchants. This time we found an apartment that we want to return to again and again. Odeon House Catania is located in the center, within walking distance of all the main attractions of the city, not to mention restaurants and small shops. If you are traveling by car, then closed parking is next to the house. The apartments have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very clean. We had problems with the booking due to the fault of the booking.соm, Gaetano worked it all out by himself. For which special thanks to him!

United StatesThere is some street noise from passing motorcycles nearby.
If you are looking for a studio in the old city this apartment could work. It is very centrally located with a secure parking space 1/2 block from the house. Gaetano provides breakfast via vouchers at a bar nearby. There is a very small kitchen (no oven) but when it is hot who wants to turn on the oven anyway.

GermanyThe check in was later than we would like, but the experience was still very good
The view was great and it was nice to have a little balcony overlooking the ruin. The location is a great base-camp to explore Catania. You get vouchers for breakfast at one of the local cafes which I have not come across before, but ultimately I really liked it! The suite has a small kitchen and overall was very comfortable.

United KingdomThere was some noise as the sightseeing tour going past the building, but not a real problem as we were out most of the day anyways.
Gaetano was a great host. He met us on arrival, even though we arrived rather late, and gave us the keys and a lot of tips on what to see, where to eat/drink etc... The apartment is spacious, fully equipped with everything you might need, very clean and comfortable. Central to all local attractions, we mostly walked everywhere from here. Lovely stay, would definitely stay here again, thank you!

IsraelExcellent unique place. Terraces (there are several) are beautiful. Absolutely silent, unlike in many parts of the city. Very close to any central place you would like to visit. Very convenient offering of the shuttle from the airport anytime. If you stay for a long time, there is a washing machine with all needed. Kind offering of coffee machine with capsules was an excellent surprise.

United KingdomThis has nothing to do with Gaetano, or the accomodation, but wa a feature of Catania during our stay. The arrangements for refuse disposal do not seem to be very efficient and during the week rubbish built up around the overflowing dumpsters.
Our host Gaetano was at the door to greet us. he showed us around and explaineed how everything worked. He also told us about the city and sent us some recommendations for restaurants - and those that we went to were very good indeed. He included a bottle of wine and one of water in the fridge and even gave us another bottle of prosecco because it was my buirthday. He even gave us a voucher for a free breakfast at a local cafe, Sgroi. It was excellent and we took breafast there several times. He was always available to answer messages and responded very quickly to requests. We could not have wanted a better host: there when needed, but not intruding on our stay. Everything in the apartment worked as it should have and the air conditioning was very welcome in the hot weather we experienced in Catania. It was lovely to be able to sit on the balconies and to watch the people coming and going in the street below. We had a wonderful view of the ancient Roman theate from there too. We were very close to the busy World Heritage Site in the city centre, but also in a quiet spot which made the stay more relaxing. There are good restaurants very close from traditional 4 course establishments, to pizza,, street food and fast food/crepes as well as local cafes providing coffee, snacks and wonderul cakes. ther is a good small supermarket about 5 minutes away where you can pick up on essentials, as well as a great bakery and a patisserie. The city itself is beautiful, with many options for sightseeing which I am sure any visitor will find for themselves. we also took a tour of the city with a guide, a sea excursion to the caves of the Cyclops, and a full day excursion to Etna with exploration of volcanic craters, lava tubes an excellent lunch with wine tasting and a visit to the Alcantara gorge. You can visit other cities and villages of the East coast via public transport or by organised excursion.
