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...).

Our second return stay and pleased to see exactly as we remember. Beautiful location and wonderful staff. The most delicious breakfast, and fabulous location right in centre of Ragusa Ibla. Lovely to park the car, following their instructions and then just walk for a few days around the beautiful area. You must do the tour that Carmela recommends as it was so interesting.

NetherlandsWe have no complaints whatsoever.
Beautiful small-scale B&B with excellent facilities. We really enjoyed the pool and 'relaxation' area. Breakfasts were excellent. Staff/owners were very friendly and helpful. Location gave great access to the old town of Ibla. Parking was available in public area (plenty of space even at height of tourist season in mid-August) and was free.

United KingdomSmall room but adequate and clean, Location was perfect! Parking was easy. 2 minute walk to the town. The pool area is one of the most unique pools we’ve been in it was so peaceful and relaxing. The breakfast was the best breakfast we had in our two week trip to Sicily. The ricotta cheese was outstanding. Wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend!

This is a fabulous little guest house 5 mins walk from the middle of Ragusa Ibla. There are only 4 rooms but the gardens and terraces are beautiful. Very private and relaxing. The daily breakfast is a Sicilian feast and the owners are so kind and helpful. We stayed for 6 days and it is perfect as a base to visit other local towns but we were quite happy to spend the odd afternoon lounging around in the garden or recharging our batteries in the hammocks with a cool drink.

The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect, ideally situated just a short stroll from everything in the charming Ibla district. You’ll be immersed in the heart of Ragusa with easy access to all the sights. A highlight was the traditional Sicilian breakfast, which added such a lovely local touch to our stay – the flavors were delightful! The hosts were exceptionally warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The facilities exceeded expectations, offering a perfect blend of comfort and tranquility. The beautiful garden, relaxing hot tub, and serene yard with a waterfall created a peaceful retreat where we could unwind after a day of exploring. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

GermanyNot much to say here - maybe just that the bed was a little hard - if you like this type of bed then it’s not a big deal.
The best breakfast we had in Sicily - Fantastic fresh and warm ricotta, home made pistachio paste with tasty buns, delicious deserts. The sunrise view from the pool and breakfast area was excellent. The staff was super friendly and nice. Location - right in the edge of the old town but not on the main busy road so it was quiet and peaceful and night.

New ZealandLeaving. Ragusa is lovely after the business of some other towns in Sicily.
The B&B is fantastic. Our rooms were lovely as is the garden area and pool especially since it was so hot! The breakfast is a treat for the taste buds as well. What makes it extra special are the family who run it. Carmela, her sister Giovanna and niece Leisa. They went out of their way when Aul had to go to hospital for stitches in his foot. Can’t thank them enough. Preggio 🙏

We had the best time, Lisa and Jane provide the best and biggest breakfast we have ever tasted in Sicily, the vegan breakfast is a must. Lovely people who are always smiling and happy to chat and share local knowledge. The property outside is the best bit - beautiful gardens, pool, jacuzzi, with chillout areas. Breakfast is served outside too overlooking the valley with spectacular views. Perfect location in old Ragusa, only a short walk to the main square.
