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 StatesNothing. Everything was great!
Giovanni and Valeria went out of their way to ensure that our arrival (on a Sunday when no one us usually at the desk) and departure (very early in the morning) went exceedingly smoothy. They provided very clear video and instructions for getting into the building that demonstrated their great care for their guests. They also arranged for an early morning taxi. Excellent communicators! Very warm and welcoming. Terrific location in central Catania. Excellent value. Recommend very highly.

IrelandCleaners moved our personal belongings each day it was annoying never in 15 years using booking.com have we ever encountered that.On our second last day we hung towels up in the bathroom and the following morning we found them on the floor with the towel holder. We forgot to tell reception on our way out that morning and we were contacted through WhatsApp with a photograph of the wall were the hook had falling of ( it was only glued on not screwed into the wall) we were accused of applying pressure and that part of the wall was missing. Absolute nonsense from the reception, I immediately rang however she would not answer finally when she did ring me back , she wanted an explanation of how it happened even after me telling her we found it on the floor that morning. Imagine on your holiday trying to relax and the reception and owner harassing you over a stuck on towel holder that fell off.I told her I wasn't explaining anything to her and hung up.We then got a message from both her and the owner to say they will solve the problem and it wasn't mentioned again absolutely terrible to treat guests that way. So that's why I advised you to take photographs. I would be careful if booking this beautiful place for that reason. However Valerie did treat us with respect next time we conversed with her.
It is central, beautiful old building, we were able to check in on line and we were welcomed by Valerie who carried our cases up a very narrow flight of stairs.The room was spotless no windows just 2 roof windows which can be controlled by pressing buttons from the bed.You definitely could not stay in that room without air-conditioning.There was a mini fridge with very reasonable priced drinks.My advice is take photographs of the room when you arrive. We were allowed leave our luggage in the building on our last day for a few hours which was great and Valarie gave us a code to retrieve our luggage later and booked us a taxi which was very obligingly of her and we were great full to her for this.Also we had fresh towels each day and rooms were cleaned each day, never had this before in a b&b.

it’s centrally located and walking distance to all the amenities in the city , parking outside or can book it inside the property.

Its central in the old town, but interior was modern and very important for me as a woman: Safe. Its called Palazzo and it kinda is a Palazzo. The perfect base to come in and out, day and night and where you know, that you are safe in comfortable room with own bathroom. The welcome was amazing and sicilian chocolate a specialty 💚
