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 KingdomNothing.
Fabulous apartment. Great facilities. 3 good sized double bedrooms with lovely bed linen and white towels. Roof terrace and private parking space is a great bonus. Communication with host was excellent. Lots of useful information and help when needed. Location good for a city break. 20-30 minute walk to main shopping and cathedral square but supermarket and bakery just round the corner for daily supplies.

Absolutely FABULOUS apartment. Loved everything about it 😍. The hosts Alberto and Maria were very responsive to my many requests for advice!! As a group of 3 couples, we especially loved the roof top terrace where we spent every evening just chatting and drinking wine 🍷 😀 - it is a superb space. The apartment is very spacious and the decor amazing (you wait till you see the ceilings in the dining room and lounge 😍). Don't hesitate.... book it ....... you won't be sorry 👍

This house is awesome! They have done a great job restoring it, do check out the album where you can see how it was before and after restoration. The beds were comfortable, the shower was good with plenty of hot water and good force. Alberto made a lot of good recommendations for restaurants and other places.

MaltaNothing in particular. Maybe some oil to the hinges of the large wooden doors :-) At night opening the bathroom doors makes you aware of the others sleeping down the corridor.
First and foremost, the apartment itself was absolutely stunning. It was beautifully decorated, spacious, and had all the amenities one could ask for. The attention to detail was remarkable, and it truly felt like a home away from home. I immediately felt comfortable and at ease upon entering. The apartment was part of a palazo, and in the living area there is a book which shows how it was renovated to its past glory. We were 4 of us and each had his own bedroom and bathroom. The terrace is an added bonus to this property and we had a wonderful afternoon picnic, eating and drinking local products we bought from the market. The location of the apartment was also fantastic. Via Filomena with its vibrant nightlife is very near. For beer lovers - Mosiac is down the road :-) What truly set this stay apart, however, was the exceptional service provided by the hosts. From the moment I made the reservation, Alberto was incredibly responsive and accommodating. He went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was perfect, providing helpful recommendations and making us feel welcome throughout our time there. The restaurant recommendations given by Alberto were spot on. We were also welcomed by a nice 'sweet' gift from the "nonna" which we really apriciated. I must also mention the seamless check-in and check-out process. Alberto provided clear instructions and were readily available to assist with any questions or concerns. If you're looking for a truly exceptional place to stay, I highly recommend booking this apartment. You won't be disappointed!

GermanyAbsolutely nothing.
La Renaissance was the highlight of our vacation in Sicily. Unfortunately we were only guests for 3 nights in this apartment, which was perfect in every detail. On the lower floor there are three beautiful bedrooms with comfortable double beds, large wardrobes and plenty of space. There are also two very tastefully decorated bathrooms that make you feel at home. The small kitchen is also perfectly equipped and you can enjoy a small breakfast at the counter before exploring the city or the area around Catania. For larger meals, there is a large table in the living/dining room. This room is incredibly beautiful with its large windows, white curtains, high ceilings and stylish lounge corner. All the rooms on this floor have detailed ceiling paintings. And the flooring, which alternates between parquet and tiles, is a dream. And then there's a cute little floor with a single bedroom and another bathroom with a bathtub, a sitting area, ... and as we write this, we already want to fly there again. Thank you so much for this wonderful time and the many helpful tips for our vacation. We felt right at home.

Apartment is enormous, with nice equipment and furniture - literal palace. There are several bathrooms - ideal for bigger group of guests. It's situated near the city centre and comes with a garage, few minutes away. Owners Maria and her grandson Alberto are great hosts, super helpful and were willing to aid us with anything. I would definitely recommend it for everyone coming to Catania.
