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.).

AustraliaThere was nothing that could have been better. Took a minute to work out the lifts but was very grateful for our luggage
Location was amazing. We loved our stay and explored the main square. It was our first night after a 19 hour flight so the spa bath was fabulous. I don't remember the breakfast bit there was coffee in the room..

Hong KongThe host provides a private car parking space at a reasonable price. The staff is nice and responsive. Also, I am given a free upgrade to a much larger room with balcony. I have nothing to complain about. The place is conveniently located at the centre of the main tourist spots. Yet, if you are looking for a remote place for a quiet stay, this place may not be suitable for you. There was some noise in the night as it is at the main street (but not too noisy).

CanadaThe access was not good and they are adding on more rooms at the moment so there is ongoing construction. However it didn’t really affect us as we were out all day.
The location was great, the room was big with a wonderful view overlooking a plaza with beautiful old buildings. The bed was very comfortable and it had a fridge and kettle which we found very useful.

MaltaHonestly, there was nothing we didn’t like about our stay. Everything was well taken care of, and we truly enjoyed every moment. If anything, we just wish we could have stayed longer to soak in the wonderful atmosphere!
Our stay at Palazzo Bruca Catania was absolutely perfect—10/10! The location is excellent, allowing easy access to all the attractions, and the atmosphere of the place is simply wonderful. The value for money is outstanding, and the highlight for us was the breathtaking ceiling in the luxurious bathroom, featuring a spacious two-person jacuzzi with hydromassage. The entire experience was incredibly pleasant, made even more special by the warm welcome we received. It was my husband's birthday, and he was greeted with kind wishes, delicious local sweets, and a bottle of prosecco. This thoughtful gesture truly made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommended!

The property is located in the historical centre of Catania, adjacent to Chiesa di San Francesco d’Assisi. 5 minutes walking to Via Pardo, the fish market, and Basilica Cattedrale di Sant'Agata. The parking lot is in the courtyard of the building and safe. An old lift takes you to the property and convenient with luggages. The room is spacey and clean.

NetherlandsWe had a wonderful stay in BB Palazzo. The hotel is located literally 1 min walking from the main square of Catania where all the nice cafes and restaurants are located. From the hotel to the left,right in the corner there is a nice little cafe serving tasty lunch and breakfast. We had breakfast there every day(coffee and sandwiches are very tasty).The hotel offers secure parking (easy to park). Our room was spacious and very clean. Our room had an amazing painted ceiling like in a museum. Very impressive!The air conditioner works very good(quite and blows nice). We slept with close windows, so we didn't hear any noise from the streets. The staff is very friendly and polite. There is a vending machines with snacks, Coffee and water in the hotel (I find it very convenient). Just keep in mind:the reception is open until 8pm and if you come after you need to inform the reception and there will be an additional charge for late arrival(10 or 20 euros depends how late you arrive);:the hotel offers limited toiletries (just soap and shampoo). For us it was not a problem,we had our own toiletries We will definitely stay in this hotel for our next visit to Catania.
