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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomLike the other reviews for the ‘Blue’ apartment the bedroom window didn’t seem to be sealed properly and so the street noise at night did wake us up however we soon got used to it.
Compact, clean and just what we needed for our 4 night trip. Christiano was an excellent host, providing us with locals knowledge and sorting out a hire car for us. The apartment was in a great location, very central for exploring Catania and going further afield.

South AfricaWe really enjoyed our stay at Terra dell'Etna. The host Christiano was always available and would go the extra mile to assist in any way. He even carried our luggage up a flight of stairs and believe me...myself and my friend do not travel light. The room was beautifully decorated and nice and clean. It is in a safe and great location close to Via Etnea. Christiano recommended restaurants and places to visit. He even arranged transport to the airport. Much appreciated Christiano.

TurkeyThe room does not take the sunlight that much, if you plan to take a nap, i would suggest you to set an alarm to wake up. if you do not open the curtain, it is really hard to realize if it is still morning or night. The bathroom thermostat was not perfect. While you are taking a shower, you can get an ice cold water immediately.
The hotel was super close to the city center, whenever you feel tired, it is really easy to reach the room. Owner was super nice and helped us about where to visit and answered all our questions really quick.

BulgariaThe apartment is facing one of the busiest streets with a lot of traffic. Get yourself good earplugs, the location is more than worth this minor inconvenience.
The location is superb, the host is attentive and makes you feel welcome. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the amenities were just enough.

Czech RepublicThe owner is a very nice young man, he gave us the keys personally and helped us with everything during our stay. Responds immediately to your messages. The apartment is in a good location - in the center, but don't forget earplugs, I wouldn't be able to sleep without them. If you have a rental car, I recommend paying for insurance, the roads are total chaos! :-) Right under the apartment is a cafe with a beautiful garden where they have excellent breakfast. The easy park application works great throughout Sicily, you can park everywhere on the blue lanes, you can always adjust the parking time according to reality, and the total amount for 4 days was deducted from my account after a few days.

RomaniaThe downside of this in the middle of the city location is the fact that could be a bit noisy. Not enough to not let you sleep though, but just to consider it

PolandWe had an apartment on the street side of the building. As far as the balcony door was well insulated from the noise, the bedroom window was letting thru street noise like as it was open. The street is narrow and busy, so every car or scooter passing by was making terrible noise. If you are light sleeper I would consider that.
Very clean. Well organised. Lots of amenities. LOCALIZATION! Other from noise everything was excellent. Good for short term stay.

MaltaOnly thing I can say is that our room was the last one available and it had only a window not a balcony. Owner said that the others are with balcony.
Super clean, central and had all the necessaries. The owner was really nice and helpful. It is like a hotel room but also like a mini apartment as it had also a microwave,fridge,real coffee machine and a kettle. Free coffee,sugar etc and also some free croissants. T.v and a.c plus toiletries. Clean white towels and bedding. I reccomend it, especially if you're after not so expensive but super clean.

FranceThere is no terrace or balcony. With booking.com, it is hard to know which room from the same host is booked.
The host was very friendly and helpful. The purple room was lovely and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spacious enough. The accommodation is in a very good location, next to the city centre. The street was not too noisy.
