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 KingdomNo tea making facilities in our room. . Breakfast in cafe across the road was fine, but doesn't open until 8.00am, which is no good if one is making an early start for a day out.
The location, good for transport into the centre, , and local restaurnts and bars nearby.

GermanyThe apartment is on the first floor with no lift, not easy to drag a large suitcase upstairs. Parking is a couple of blocks away, down a hair-raisingly tiny street, which is fairly typical for Sicily.
Large, comfortable room in a perfect, central location with dozens of restaurants and cafés around the corner.

LithuaniaAs there are many restaurants on the street, it's quite loud up until the midnight. You should have this in mind, if you are an early sleeper :)
Nice and cozy appartment with high ceilings and fantastic bedroom with stuning view from the balcony. You can definitely feel italian spirit there! Clean and refurbished bathroom is rather small, but it's in oldtown so it's quite common there. Very good location, in a walking distance from the main sightseeing places. Nice place for breakfast just in front of the building!

United KingdomWe had no communication from the landlord from the time we booked it, until the time we arrived. No emails with instructions on how to get into the building. No welcome upon arrival. It is clearly run just to put money in the landlords pocket with as little effort as possible for the landlord. The room was very small and in the attic. There were no emails from the landlord to inform us of how to access the building. The landlord expected us to communicate to him, instead of the way a proper b+b operates which is for the company or landlord to communicate to us. And it is not a b+b as advertised. If you want breakfast it is extra. And there is no breakfast area nor anyone there to serve a breakfast. We saw no one in the building ever having a breakfast there while we stayed there. It should not be considered a b+b.
The location was good to the old town and many sites, but the building was old, no elevator, no receptionist for check in or out. The premises is run entirely as a hands off set up. You will never see the landlord for anything. We spent a long time waiting to get into the premises, and only got in because my girlfriend had an EU phone to call the landlord. Repeat: you will never see the landlord!

United StatesWhile it was not an issue for us there is no elevator and rooms on second floor. It did not detract from our stay but like a lot of places in Italy in old classic buildings without lifts this can be something to consider . The location and beauty of property and lovely and kind Patrizia who was at property each morning was worth carrying our luggage up and down the stairs. The large doors to each terrace blocks out noise from busy street below.
Located near cafes, restaurants,a beautiful park and walking distance to the markets, the fish restaurant area and the great piazza with the famous Duomo. Our room was spacious with three balconies a beautiful large bathroom and lovely furnishings replete with a 20 foot ceiling. Patrizia who cares for the property was helpful and despite her not speaking English had a way of making herself understood and she directed us to the main streets and the narrow streets that are lined with restaurants. She evening walked with us to show us the way.
