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 StatesFantastic location right next to the temple of Apollo. Beautiful apartment with lots of space to spread out and relax. Balcony views were great. The owners were wonderful - we arrived on a feast day so they offered to have us drop off our bags before check in. They were kind and welcoming. Recommend this place with no reservations!

United KingdomThe host asked me to contact an hour before arrival, which I did but we were still waiting a long time outside to be let in to the apartment
The grandness of the apartment was amazing and so spacious and clean. Also there was so much space, and great facilities. Within a great location and balconies to view all going on outside, overlooking the Apollo and street.

CanadaThe spa is in the primary ensuite bathroom and is a combination shower with multiple shower heads with a small attached sauna in the same unit. (which we didn’t try out, used the regular shower head and it was too hot for a sauna) Not that we didn’t like it but to clarify as this was unclear from their booking site.
The host was very good at communicating and met us on arrival. The apartment is very large and the photos don’t do it justice. We were surprised with the amount of space and the quality of the furnishings. The kitchen is modern and well equipped and most of the furniture is beautiful antique inlaid wood with marble floors. The location is excellent, close to some free parking and very walkable to all the sites in Ortigia. The breakfast was a coffee and pastry in a cafe across the street but it was pleasant. Amazing view to the temple of Apollo across the street.

Prime location apartment in Ortigia, beautiful view of the Temple of Apollo. Really spacious with an Italian luxurious feeling. Very well equipped kitchen and dining room, with wine glasses to suit every grape type/occasion which seemed quite impressive. Steps away from so many good restaurants, cafes, shops etc. Would be my top choice in Ortigia for sure!

AustraliaThe aircon didn’t reach the third bedroom.
Absolutely perfect location overlooking the ruins. 3 large bedrooms, 1 with ensuite. Living room with sofa beds and dining table + a separate dining room and kitchen. Kitchen has everything you need - huge fridge, microwave, dishwasher. Met by owner and given an induction. Very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast across the road was great too. Overall very pretty, well located, clean and spacious apartment. Highly recommend.

United KingdomOnly problem with the apartment (being so huge) was that the air con not the wi fi reached the third bedroom which have one member of our party an uncomfortably hot night. Little bit of noise in the front bedroom at night - to be expected in such a prime spot. Ejected at 10am sharp (we had only arrived the previous evening at six after train delays) - a little disappointed by this, given that we had asked the owner if he would consider a slightly later check out than 10am or a place to leave a couple of our bags, as we could not access our next property until much later in the day. We appreciate the owner was under no obligation to give us extra time but it would have been nice especially since he had said that the room was not going to be occupied - we would have even willingly negotiated a small fee.
Fantastic location overlooking the Temple of Apollo, in the heart of the old town. Huge apartment for family/ group use and bathroom facilities. Unexpected free breakfast provided in local cafe. Great for exploring Ortigia.

RomaniaWe were 5 friends with 2 babies under 1 and felt that the apartment was very clean, perfectly situated, big enough to have privacy. We apprexiated the effort to provide 2 foldble cribs for the babies. The beds were comfortable and warm. I liked that they use a cover for the duvet ( in other italian locations we stayed, I saw the habit of only putting a sheet under the “naked” duvet). The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for 2 babies and we bought fresh vegetables and fruits in the nearby market. There are 3 bedrooms and one of them has the amazing view and the bathroom with the sauna (we didn’t use it, not sure if it works). We flipped a coin for the pretty bedroom and lost in favor of our friends. The other 2 bedrooms are simple but comfortable and clean.
