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):
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.).

Switzerland1. It would be helpful to have at least a microwave available in the common (reception) area. This is something the owner could easily provide. 2. The water taps are quite risky and need to be opened very carefully, as they tend to spray water onto the floor. Even with caution, it was difficult to control the water flow, which often led to water spreading across the floor and created inconvenience (eg use towels to dry floor!!). This issue can be especially problematic for families with children. Installing a more controlled mechanism would be a sensible improvement. 3. It would also be beneficial to install a hand shower in the bathroom for added convenience. ly overhead shower is not convenient)- this is easy for the owner install/fix.
Excellent location and communication with the owner (Valentina) went extensively well as she was very prompt in responding. As a B & B, I would rate a score of 9.5.

LithuaniaThe walls do not isolate sound that well, guests who wake up early or come home late can easily wake you up. I usually sleep like a rock and things like these do not bother me but here I could not sleep that well. The bed was too soft for me, my girlfriend loved it, so it is up to preference I guess. We could not tell if ac was on the first night we were here but otherwise worked well.
The best thing about this place is the location. It is in the heart of Catania and being anywhere in the old town and center means you're pretty much at home already. The rooms are spacious, clean, the staff is nice and helpful. You also get complementary breakfast at a nice place nearby.

AustraliaNothing to complain about.
You can't beat the location of this property, just inside the Piazza and next to the cathedral, but still quiet. Our room was Bellini, had a view out on to the street on the otherside of the square. Bed was comfortable pillows ok plenty of space and fridge was a bonus. Bathroom had plenty of space. All in all our 2nights where very comfortable. Recommend to anyone.

AustraliaPower failed when we tried to use washing machine - told later it wasn’t working. TV useless - 1 local channel only. Reverse cycle aircon didn’t heat. Poor kitchen facilities - eg no cups/ mugs, no frying pan, no tea towel minimal utensils. Not fitted out as a bnb. Foir required to be licked with key which is ok, but also there was no exit without key which is possibly illegal - or should be. (If one member goes out taking keys to get back in, other member is locked in apartment!!) 2.5 flights of stairs to lug luggage. Right beside railway line. Lots of noise early morning and late night.
Great location just off square, early access good, access simple via WhatsApp.

BelgiumThe security system for opening the front door was a bit dodgy, but after calling the host assistance was ready at hand.
One of the most central locations possible in the historical centre of Catania. In the immediate vicinity of some of the city's most important monuments and places to visit. Also close to the P.zza Borselino square where several bus services are available, including the ALIBUS from and to the airport. The rooms are on the first floor, so it's not too much of a hassle to carry one's luggage upstairs.

United StatesWe didn’t mind that the only refrigerator was a shared one for all of the rooms - but we were very disappointed to find that the kitchenette/stove did not work at all. Like ourselves, I am sure that many people book these rooms because of the kitchen. This was a huge let-down because they seemed to have already known it wasn’t working, but neglected to mention it during any part of the booking process.
The location of the property itself is right in the heart of the city. Access to the property was also very simple and convenient overall.
