How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

- • Solo traveller
- • Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and City View
- • Stayed 5 nights
Although the hotel is in a quiet area during the day, there were concerts in the restaurant across the hotel during the late evening. An inner room facing the courtyard albeit without a view will be more quiet at night.
Spacious room with a view of the Piazza, good breakfast, firm bed and comfortable pillows, fluffy and white towels, large sink with borders for cosmetics, double insulation windows, proximity to monuments and churches in historical centre. Helpful, efficient and friendly staff (alphabetical order): Julia – for providing useful highlights of interesting places to visit Luciano – for bringing my luggage to the car for the airport; Manuel – for briefing upon arrival and facilitating transport arrangements for very early departure to the airport and allowing me to use his personal mobile to call the service provider; Valentina – for being an excellent translator for the recipes provided by Rosi; Vicenzo – for kindly providing towels and extra pillows late in the evening; Rosi – for kindly providing 2 recipes and a breakfast pack for my early departure, and for the good service of the breakfast team; and Grosso and Lily – the kind and well-behaved dogs of the neighbors patiently waiting for their breakfast. Bravo and many thanks to the team!

The floor of the shower was a little slippery.
Everything about this hotel exceeded our expectations. The location was ideal - close to everything we wanted to see but slightly off the beaten track so it was quiet. Safe area. Staff were, without exception, wonderful. They went above and beyond, always gracious and smiling. They gave us help choosing restaurants and even made reservations for us. They patiently helped me with my Italian, even though their English was perfect! Breakfast was delicious. The room was spacious, good closet and drawer space, good space for toiletries on the sink.

A bit noisy at night since it is centrally located. Noise reducing earplug’s complimentary would have been great. Otherwise a perfect stay!
Great location with wonderful restaurants around. Easy to walk to destinations. Hotel was beautiful, clean and staff were wonderful. Hotel provides a breakfast that was fabulous, with such a variety. Staff helped with bus information to Mondello beach and train to airport along with restaurant suggestions. They were fantastic!!

All good
This is a classy boutique hotel with very helpful and friendly staff. Couldn't do enough for us, especially Marina. Really enjoyed staying here. Very central location for everything for restaurants, cafes and all the sights. In a lovely little square just off Via Roma. Easy walk to the train station and bus station. Lovely room, extremely comfortable bed and plenty of room to move around. Had everything we needed. Breakfast had so many options, we overindulged. Cereal, muesli, fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, ham, cheese, eggs, fresh bread as well as all the amazing delightful Italian cakes which we tried to limit ourselves on. Staff made fresh espresso and cappuccino to order. Highly recommend this hotel. Would definitely stay again if we came back to Palermo.
