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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Verified reviewMom and I stayed for only one night, but we were able to check-in late, and that was really important to us. The room, the bathroom, everything was really clean and the lady that runs the accommodation really thought of everything, from enough clean towels, to shower caps and extensions for chargers, usb cable, etc. The location was also ideal for us, close to the central train station, and well connected to the central part of Palermo at the same time. We loved the building the apartments are located in, the old elevator is just beautiful, we enjoyed riding it.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure to host you, even if just for one night. We’re so happy you appreciated the cleanliness, the small details designed to make your stay more comfortable, and of course, our lovely building with its charming vintage elevator! Knowing that you felt at ease and that the location was convenient for you really means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back to Palermo soon! Warm regards to both of you.

Verified reviewClose to the central station and the city center Spacious room A/C Decent wi-fi Nice view from the room
Very noisy outside. The surrounding area is very dirty with a lot of dodgy people Old and tired furniture and plumbing, the toilet sounded like it was about to explode every time it was flushed You have to leave your keys at the reception every time you leave the hotel. This is the level of the hotels of the Soviet Union The staff does not give you the code/keys to enter the building, you will always have to ring the intercom and ask to open the door
Dear Guest, Thank you for your contradictory review: we are pleased to know that you appreciated our central location, the spacious room, the Wi-Fi and the beautiful view. A true modern tragedy, having to put up with a beautiful view… we are truly sorry! We are sorry that the excitement of city life – which for others is synonymous with vitality – was a source of discomfort for you. As for the area, we allow ourselves to inform you that it is the same in which some of the best restaurants, theaters and museums of the city are located. But we understand that everyone has their own preferences: there are those who love authenticity and those who prefer silence… like in a library. Our key and intercom system was designed to ensure the safety of guests, not to evoke memories of the Soviet Union (which, by the way, has a certain vintage charm for some!). As for the rebellious toilet flush, we are sorry that we were not warned during your stay: we would have gladly calmed it. In any case, we wish you future stays that live up to your expectations – perhaps in a mountain refuge, far away from everything… even from Wi-Fi and urban life. Kind regards, Maria

Verified reviewThe hotel is well maintained by the owner. It’s clean, and the location is convenient: within a short walk you’re in the city center of Palermo or the train station. For the affordable price, it’s a good hotel.
The neighborhood around the hotel is a bit sketchy, but the hotel itself is very good.

Verified reviewWe arrived after 11pm - check in was easy and we were able to buy water from the proprietor. We checked out early and that was fine too. Very clean room.
We didn’t notice any signage on arrival telling us which floor the hotel was on.

Only one suggestion - a small fridge in the room would be great.

Verified reviewExcellent location two minutes from train & bus stations. Breakfast delivered to room is plentiful and scrumptious. Building doesn't look great from outside but room is spacious and spotless inside. Old type lift adds a bit of character to the premises, would certainly recommend staying here. For access press small button beside name and wait on door to click.

Verified reviewI thought the hotel had character, a little quirky. It was from another era but also had modern facilities. It reminded me of some Italian albergos I stayed in 40 years ago. The lady in charge was very kind and pleasant. I loved the view from my window. The location was excellent for the trains and buses. Close to many sites.
There was nothing that I did not like. I would stay there again.
