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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomFirst class all round! Brilliant location, facilities and staff. We had a large ground floor spa room with sauna and jacuzzi. Swimming pool was near by so very easy. Staff were all superb. The desk staff were so helpful and the domestic staff were discreet, kind and very competent. A superb haven of a hotel.

The hotel and staff were lovely. They couldn't do enough for us. A beautiful hotel that I wouldn't hesitate to come back to if I am ever I'm Palermo again. The hotel is a great location for visiting the city and has plenty of amazing restaurants within a stones throw.

AustraliaVery central location and easy walking distance from the main attractions in Palermo. Very quiet location and the staff were exceptional in looking after us. Modern spacious rooms were nicely integrated into the historic bastione. The walled grounds formed a very pleasant oasis within a busy city.

CanadaDownside is since we lived on the main floor which is right next to the garden, there were a lot of insects. We had 3 worms crawling on the floor for 3 nights.. (probably got in during room service) It might be good if the hotel can provide insect repellant.
The hotel is one of a kind. Staffs were helpful and nice! We stayed in the rooms with original Spasimo stone ceiling. The room was very modern and clean. We didn't use the pool but it looked very nice. The garden was beautiful. The location is a bit far from the centre but manageable. Also, there is a very good restaurant right opposite to the hotel.

United StatesDesign of bathroom to put personal items. Hours of staff at front desk.
Beautiful new boutique hotel. Rooms are very nice but there was little room in the bathroom to put your personal things. Staff was wonderful but they are there for limited hours so it's important to know their timing. Breakfast was very good. The hotel was a little hard to find and a few blocks away from the main roads but it was a little piece of heavan!

SwitzerlandA perfect place for a stay in Palermo - in the very center of the city, 10 min walk from the Cathedral and yet a place of serenity preserved from the city density. Room are quiet and both modern and typical, the garden gives the feeling that you are far from the town. Parking available for free in the place before the hotel is a must have. The staff is very kind and really caring about your stay, confort and visit.

ItalyNothing. The whole experience was way beyond my expectations.
Bastione Spasimo is a little gem located in the former medieval bastion of the town, in a charming neighborhood. You can easily forget how close it is to the railway station and some of the most important attractions (Regional Gallery, Botanical Garden, marina etc.) once you enter the dreamy garden surrounded by lemon plants. I did not have the time to try the pool, one more reason to go back soon. The beauty and comfort of the place are made more special by the people who work there, from the check-in to breakfast and cleaning service. As an experienced traveller, I have rarely met such professionalism, passion, kindness...and smiles.
