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 KingdomThis is an amazing flat with everything you could want for a happy stay in Catania. Not only is the apartment stunningly beautiful with every luxury you could need, (the coffee machine and wardrobe space plus the comfortable bed are all really carefully thought out for you), but Giuseppe is one of the most considerate, attentive hosts you could hope to find. He was good enough to leave us Arancini when our flight arrived late at night. Really. If you’ve read this far, book it now, you won’t regret it. The location is superb too.

AustriaWe had a great week in Catania. The apartment is in a great location, right in the center, but still quiet due to the side street. From here you can easily reach all of Catania's sights on foot or by train or bus. The airport shuttle station is 5 minutes away from the apartment. Our host was helpful and kind. He left us a few welcome gifts and was always available via WhatsApp. He even sent us a few videos about general information as well as about the sights of Catania and restaurant tips. The key handover was very easy via key box. A very nice accommodation for a city trip, was completely cleaned after three days, new bed linen and towels. So we totally recommend it.

AustraliaThere are stairs and no lift...only a couple of flights, but be prepared. If that puts you off...maybe Italy isn't your thing!
The property is exactly what we wanted...and what we expected. It was modern and clean, but that's easy. What it had was real character...fabulous high ceilings, the loft-style bedroom, and it was in the middle of real downtown Catania. So it's a quick walk to the local market, the bus is at the end of the street - and there's not a single "pizza and pasta" tourist joint within cooee! An easy walk or bus to everywhere, but you may never want to venture away from home!

Everything perfect. If you read this you can stop searching any further; just book and you will certainly not regret. Very spacious apt, smack in the center, plenty of restaurants and bars nearby, Giovanni was extremely helpful, replies quickly and had prepared fruits, arrancini and something to drink for my arrival. Will book this place again without hesitation if coming back to Catania.

United Arab EmiratesHaha I have a strong husband who lugged my 20kilo suitcase up 4 flights of stairs but ladies (who don't practice cross fit or lift in the gym) travelling solo - be warned, there is no lift.
Giuseppe our host was probably the highlight- he was really kind and the information provided was so cleverly packaged (in videos) that it made things really easy. He was also always contactable even on weekends which made things a lot less stressful given we were travelling over the weekend. The apartment itself was gorgeous. I admit I got a bit worried in the beginning because we walked in from the port and the area looked a bit rough and it smelled weird on the streets but just as Giuseppe promised, the evening brought with it some Catanese magic - the fairy lights came on, people were having aperitifs on the streets al fresco, the amazing smells from the restaurants made my nose quiver and the foodie in me get super super excited. The layout of the apartment was great and the way the lights automatically turned on and off made it safe to get up and down from the bedroom suite. The fancy wall paper brought to mind the White Lotus and made me laugh - but it was all sexy style and great hospitality with the breakfast and snacks kindly left for us (arancine was still warm :) )
