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 StatesLoved it all!!!💜
We liked everything. The place was exactly like the pictures but better. Gaisy is a wonderful host. She went above and beyond. The a/c worked great as it was hot. The shower pressure was great and we all slept comfortably on the beds. The breakfasts each morning were over the top! The place is right next to the ocean and close to entrance to Ortygia. We took a private boat tour in the evening which also was so worth it. Best place on our 29 day trip.

Very good location, just 10 min walk to Ortigia. Easy to park for free just in front. The host is very friendly and helpful. The room is full of small details that makes a very nice place to stay. But the best thing is the breakfast is really really impressive , one of the best that we ever eaten.

New ZealandNothing to complain about, everything was perfect!
The room was so luxurious and beautifully decorated, plus we had the kitchen area to ourselves aswell, as Giusy only likes to book one room at a time in the off peak season. The highlight was the epic breakfast with so many delicious sweet and savory options, enough for us to make sandwiches to take away for lunch and snacks! She also catered amazingly for our gluten and dairy free needs! She really went above and beyond. And she was such a lovely, warm friendly host, was such a pleasure to meet her! Will definitely come back next time we're in Sicily!

It was spacious, with everything we needed during our 3 night stay. Location was great to visit Ortigia and also the Archeological Park. Both were easy walking distance from the property. Our host, Guisy, could not do enough for us during our stay. From saving us a parking space outside her property when we arrived to providing the most generous, tasting, fabulous breakfast each morning - including comprehensive range of gluten free items. Better than any hotel we have stayed in.

We had such a wonderful stay with Giusy at Stomachion! We stayed in the family room which was beautifully decorated and very spacious. We could park for free just outside as other reviews mentioned and the beach is just opposite. The apartment is fully equipped for all needs including coffee machine, washing machine, chairs to use at the beach. The breakfast spread was so extensive and generous - a whole buffet for 2 of us. And finally Giusy was the nicest host. So warm, welcoming, accomodating - she felt like a friend! We would recommend Stomachion to anyone without hesitation. Thank you!

United Kingdom.
Amazing property, amazing host, amazing breakfast. I couldn't recommend this property more. I was sad to leave. The room and communal spaces feel like you're at home. So comfortable and welcoming. The bedroom was fitted with all mod cons, it was light, airy and spacious. Really comfortable bed. Powerful spacious shower. Outside space to dry clothes. The kitchen area also had kettle, coffee maker and microwave which you were able to use at any time. It had plenty of space for all guests staying in the rooms at once. The breakfast as if you were staying in a 5* hotel. I think it was better as it was so personal. Everything was fresh and you couldn't have wanted for anything more. Fruit, cake, cereals, toast, fruit juice, teas, coffees, hot chocolate and marshmallows, pizza, Italians pastries and more ! Within walking distances of all the local attractions. If you don't choose to stay here you've made the wrong choice.

Breakfast was incredible- huge and very diverse- many different pastries, fruit, yoghurt, biscuits, cheese, meats, coffee etc. There were also treats in the fridge for us. Small internal courtyard. Parking for free out the front. A very easy 10 minute walk to Ortigia. Opposite a swimming platform with clean water. Thank you!
