Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe train station is 35 minutes by foot, but this also gives the advantage of leaving Acireale a quiet local community without large numbers of tourist visitors. There is a bus that goes to the station, but its timetable is a mystery. This would have been useful for visitors to know. The breakfasts were very minimal (coffee or granita plus a pastry). It was possible to add a spremuta, but there could maybe have been more food options such as eggs or granola/cereals. I brought some granola and milk myself, but the bar could only supply a flat plate instead of a bowl. The shower was excellent except that sometimes the cord got stuck in the piping, which impeded the control of water temperature.
A beautiful and comfortable place to stay, ideally located in the centre of Acireale. Spacious room, comfortable bed, good shower. The host, Luca, was welcoming and considerate, allowing me to change my booking to another room from which I had a wonderful balcony view of Piazza Duomo. Staff who showed me to my room were extremely helpful, and staff at Al Duomo provided breakfast.

San MarinoI would definitely move in here. I don't know how many hotel rooms I've stayed in around the world, but this is one of the most beautiful. Wonderfully airy and elegantly furnished. Absolutely ideal, perfect location with a view of the dome and the cathedral. Miraculously, I was here at the time of the Jazz Festival, so the great music was still included. On Saturday evenings, the square is filled with people until late at night, a very nice lively atmosphere. The interaction with the Bar al Duomo is excellent. 👌If you have a passion for really good food and don't consider home cooking style or pizza to be the culinary navel of the world: ALLORO is highly recommended. I had an excellent dinner there and returned to BAROQUE very full and very happy. (And was only hungry again 24 hours later!). Acireale is wonderfully relaxed and has also retained its Sicilian dignity (unlike Palermo, which has mutated into a fast food and party town due to its 6 million tourists every year, who mainly drink and party there). Back to BAROQUE: Luca, the owner, is also a treasure. See you soon - I'll be back! Because I like to give you 12 Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

GermanyThe blanket was a little thin and I was a bit cold. There was a light ( safety light ) in the room that couldn't be turned off. I found it unnecessary as the room should be dark for some people during sleeping. The toilet was a bit small and the shower head was too short, also we had problems with the warm water. The water took so long to warm up and the water pressure was low. I think this should be fixed.
The location of the hotel was awesome. It is perfect if you have a wedding or invited to one. So close and easy. The room was really big and nice. Even though there were two bars underneath, there was no noise to bother. The room had an AC.

BelgiumTraffic is a bit complicated in Acireale and parking place is at a walk’s distance.
Acireale is a beautiful small town near to Catania. The room was beautiful and had this great view on two marvelous churches and the central piazza. Also the bathroom is modern and super clean. You can have a small Italian breakfast in the bar underneath (which we liked very much) and there is a cleaning lady passing each day if you want indicate that at the door. Just to know: we were there on a weekend with festive days which meant that the church bells were ringing very very often and very loud ( it is right in front); we didn’t mind too much but if you don’t like it… Also the bar next door played music outside till quite late.

SlovakiaThe facility is good but definitely had room for improvements. The concept of having breakfast in the restaurant next door is a wonderful combination, the room in its self had no window and some things were already worn of - like the shower. Would categorize it more in the mid 8 rating category (especially because of the location, which was amazing), definitely not in the nines.
Amazing location with great evening events happening all around. All restaurants had delicious food and good vibe. Would recommend the location and travel around from there to the surrounding destinations, including Etna, which is a must.

CanadaFor car travellers with luggage, you can drop off luggage before 6pm but after that cars are not allowed in the square. The car park is not far unless you have a lot to carry!
We loved the location with a window and balcony across from the Duomo. The room was large and well decorated. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. We loved being so close to restaurants and shops. Our communication about the property was efficient and friendly. Checkin at the cafe downstairs was seamless and Paula was delightful explaining the property to us. All in all a lovely experience.
