Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomNothing, everything was perfect :)
The property has a lot of character and is very beautifully decorated. The rooms are spacious and very clean and the location is perfect! Plus the breakfast was delicious, with local delicacies fresh from the bakery. Giovanni is the kindest and most welcoming host ever :) he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and had the best stay possible. If I return to Palermo, I would 100% stay here again! Cannot recommend enough

CanadaGiovanni was the best B&B host you could wish for! He made helpful recommendations and was a great resource to discover Palermo. He was so hospitable and made us feel right at home at Mama Tita. The location of the property is excellent for exploring and the room we stayed is was beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast he had prepared each morning was lovely! Best accommodation of our trip for sure! When we are back in Palermo we will definitely be staying here again!

United KingdomJust a minor suggestion, one of the two pillow sets provided could be replaced with lower pillows.
Mama Tita rooms are on the first floor of an old style building in a nice and quiet area of the city centre. Main historical sites are at walking distance (from 15min). Our room had high ceiling and a little balcony. It was clean, cosy and nicely decorated. We liked the chromotherapy lights in the shower cubicle. Roms are equipped with AC, kettle, small fridge and TV. The highlights of this accommodation are for sure the breakfast, which is served in the hall where all rooms open onto, and the host Giovanni. The breakfast is a typical sicilian breakfast with delicious traditional pastries and cakes, and you also have fresh fruit. Giovanni is a lovely and friendly host who tangibly enjoys talking to people and getting to know his guests. He shared with us precious tips of places to visit and to eat in Palermo and beyond. He gave us info on how to get to places, on parking and more. He helped us optimise our two days in this beautiful city. We will recommend Mama Tita to family and friends for sure and we hope to go back some day.

TurkeyI have stayed here for 3 nights in the single-bed room. Even though I arrived the facility before the check-in time, my room was ready and I was very grateful for being able to settle in fastly and relax before going to explore the city. The place isn't at the historical center but the neighborhood is much more safer and peaceful, and you can reach there by walking from the city center or taking the AMAT city bus very easily. The room was very clean, and the bed was very big and comfy! You can access to Netflix and Youtube with the TV. The minibar was full with water, local beer and fruit juices. The breakfast was delicious, the apartment of the facility is historical and beautiful!!! Giovanni thinks everything for his visiters and treats to them like their one of his family member!!! He was very welcoming and helpful from the very first moment to the end :) He gave me the city map and marked every place to worth to visit. He also recommended to me the beautiful local restaurants, and encouraged me to improving my Italian <3 Giovanni thank you for everything; for your kindness, for your smiley face and very importantly THANK YOU for helping me to understanding the airport shuttle bus and making sure I got there safely and easily!!! As I said before, if I have a chance, one day I will come again, and that time I will bring my familly with me. This place will stay in my heart forever because it gave me the feeling of home. I hope anyone who desires to experience the same things be able to stay here and create a beautiful memory for themselves :) Che la vita ti sorrida sempre, Giovanni!!! Grazie mille!

United KingdomProperty is located a short distance from the historical centre of Palermo. The apartment was tastefully decorated and very stylish. The apartment was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed for our short stay. The bed was so comfortable, I actually had a few nights decent sleep which is rare for me. The host Giovanni is a lovely man, very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the local area. Breakfast was typical sweet Sicilian with cakes and pastries. I have some issues with sugar regulation so Giovanni brought me some boiled eggs from home as I couldn’t have the sweet breakfast. This was very thoughtful and kind and very much appreciated. We had a wonderful time visiting Palermo and would highly recommend this property as base if staying in the area. Check in/check out was swift and efficient. Thank you again Giovanni for a wonderful stay.

IsraelIt is not possible to make coffee or drinks in the rooms.
We took 3 rooms, all decorated, one of the rooms is really large. Giovanni gave a lot of good recommendations for travel and food in Palermo. The apartment is in a quiet area of the city and relatively close, a 10-minute walk from central sites. Breakfast consists mainly of wonderful sweet pastries.

United KingdomWe had a wonderful stay at Mama Tita. The owner (Giovanni) made us feel very welcome and was an excellent host, very friendly and accomodating - he also gave us lots of ideas for where to visit during our stay. We had to check in late at night due to a late flight but the check in was straight forward with clear instructions to follow. Our room was very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. It felt safe and homely too. The location is good, it is roughly a 10 minute walk from the ‘centre’ but much quieter which we were glad of. There are plenty of cafes/restaurants close by and we enjoyed the wander along to the busy centre. Breakfast was lovely with fresh baking each morning. If I return to Sicily I will definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Giovanni, the host, was amazing!! We would love to give 100 points. He helped us with travel arrangements from the airport, gave restaurant tips, map and recommendations what to do. The checkout day we could leave luggage at the hotel. Thanks for everything. We’ll be back. The hotel was good situated, close to public transport, bars and restaurants. A bus stop just around the corner and could drive easily to the city and beach. No problems. The rooms were beautiful!!! The bathrooms stunning!!! The best was the breakfast with typical Palermo cakes and fresh fruits, etc. We loved it really a lot and would recommend this place - it felt like home.
