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.).

BelgiumNothing really. If there is something to say then it is that there is no staff at the front desk between 10pm and 7am.
Great location, beautiful hotel with wonderful staff. Breakfast was very good and the cappuccino was the best in Palermo. The roof top is also wonderful to take a little break from the busy city.

IsraelThe room is noisy. The door is heavy but so is everyone else's on the floor, and it's not at all soundproof, so any time people were talking in the hallway, it was like they were in the room, any time they came and went their door slammed like an explosion in the night. And when people upstairs walked around it did sound like a troupe of elephants were moving in. We put on a white noise app on our phone and it helped a bit. When we mentioned it at checkout, the lovely man at the deck suggested that if he'd known, we could have moved to a quieter room. There was also very little room in the bathroom for toiletries or towels. The towels never dried.
The staff were lovely. So helpful, finding us information, taxis, reservations, whatever we needed they ran to help. So warm and friendly! The location was amazing, 10 minutes from anything worth seeing in Palermo.

How do I begin, even prior to our arrival the hotel was reaching out to see if there was anything we needed. They always said if there is anything you need please let us know, we are at your service ! From Francisco to Sophia and all the staff at Locanda they were the most accommodating and helpful in their recommendations . We wish we could take them with us to all the other hotels we are staying at in Italy !!! Molto Grazie , Locanda Santa Marina !

I haven’t used jacuzzi but after 5 pm there is a bar on the roof top - highly recommend to visit! Breakfast is quite small but ok, fresh coffee was the best part of it.

Thank you so much to all the staff at Locanda Santamarina for your outstanding Hospitality. You made us feel at home from the time of our arrival to our check out. The Staff were absolutely amazing and extremely friendly, all the gestures you provided from carrying our luggages to the Hotel, welcoming us with a bottle of water, fruit in our amazing rooms and our farewell message with chocolates ticked all the boxes. Breakfast and the location of the Hotel was great, just a few minutes from the Historical buildings.We enjoyed our stay immensely and will remember beautiful memories of Palermo. Thank you again and hope to see you soon.

GermanyEverything was just perfect. We truly loved the roof top, what a view, and what a nice thing to have a jacuzzi to cool down from the summer heat. Also the location was great, a few blocks away from the buzz, but not in it, so one can sleep peacefully. On the day of the checkout we had to leave early in the morning, but it was no problem at all to get the breakfast delivered the night before to the room, ten out of ten stars for the service and the friendliness. I would book this place again anytime.

DenmarkI had a really great experience staying at LOCANDA SANTAMARINA. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my stay, always ready to assist with a smile. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall cleanliness of the hotel was excellent. The location was perfect—close to everything I needed, yet peaceful. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

United StatesThe street it was on was a bit scary, graffiti on the walls they need to clean that up. To be fair there was construction on that street.
Couldn’t enjoy the breakfast, since we had a 8am tour, they went out the way to have some food out early & gave a nice breakfast box for airport day. The triple family room was modern & spacious, the staff very accommodating and pleasant. They arranged a spa visit & a taxi for us.

BrazilWe use the parking lot Maqueda, which was recommended by the hotel. However, we had some issues to get in (12am) and get out (9am) of the parking lot because the front desk was closed both times. So, I suggest that the hotel does not recommend this parking lot.
The hotel is brand new, very clean, staff is great and the breakfast was the best we had in Sicily. The location is great, you can easily walk to the main attractions of the city.
