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.).

United KingdomLooking for something other? Best location on Modica’s Corso Umberto. Baroque building, and rooms and furnishing and all, truly of another age. Sgr Laura’s welcome was warm, our room very comfortable. It was a delight to be there.

SpainFirstly, there was some confusion with our room assignment, which could have been avoided with better communication among staff. Additionally, a basic understanding of English would be beneficial for future guests. Furthermore, the constant noise from construction work starting at 7 AM right next to our room was quite disruptive. While the hotel could benefit from offering a breakfast option, our biggest disappointment was the strong smell of fried food in our bathroom, which was likely due to the kitchen being located directly below. Despite attempts to mask the odor with air fresheners, it was quite unpleasant and even caused some discomfort. Overall, the Grana Barocco Art Hotel & Spa has the potential to be an exceptional experience. With a few improvements, such as better communication, a quieter environment, and attention to cleanliness, it could truly live up to its historic charm.
As a lover of historical buildings, the Grana Barocco Art Hotel & Spa in Modica was a dream come true. The location was perfect, and the interior design beautifully captured the essence of a Baroque palace. However, while the hotel offers a charming and historic setting, there are a few areas that could be improved

ItalyIt is a long story. And it is starts with the reception that does not exist in reality. It is an imaginary creation that despairs in the moment you pay. We asked for assistance In the same moment we arrived as the AC was not working. They told us that they will restart it and immediately they disappeared. They stoped responding the messages and they ignored the calls. The room itself it was another story, hard to breathe because of the overuse of room fresheners that was there to cover other smell of God knows what. So we had a horrible night - No AC and poisoning smell. The toilet seat was broken and we could not open a window to deal with the heat and the smell. In the morning I got the message that it is not only our room without AC but there are other four rooms as well without AC, and imagine we all complained… It is August in Sicily… We made another mistake of booking with breakfast… a HUGE mistake. I have photos of that ‘special’ breakfast. They have small home made plastic bags of serials that are maybe dating from two years ago, two croissants and two bottles of water. The only good thing was the coffee that you can get anywhere. The highlight of this breakfast experience are the cartoon cups which you should use, while being in a restaurant full of glasses that are literally in front. When we asked for a refund the person responsible for the reception breakfast and everything in this guest house - it is not a hotel by any standard- laughed at me. My recommendation is to stay away from this place and not be fooled by the photos and the style of this place. I am writing this extensive comment to not allow anybody to be fooled from the lack of comments and experiences
The only good thing about this property is the location.

United StatesI stayed here during my trip to Modica and really liked the location — it’s right in the center, on Umberto. All the main sights are close by, and there are plenty of cafés, bars, and shops around. There’s a tourist train that stops near the hotel, and we actually took a ride on it — it was a fun way to see the town. My room was cozy and I liked the interior. Everything was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was simple — just pastries and drinks, like a typical Italian breakfast — but it was enough for me. I’d definitely recommend this place if you want to explore Modica by foot and enjoy the local vibe.
