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.).

GermanyAlthough everything is functional, it is a bit old fashioned, small details like power sockets where you need them could help.
Well located near the centre, probably ~12 minutes from the Centrale Station in a very pleasant are of town. My room was roomy and I enjoyed the balcony view that I was given. Kettle and coffee was nice to have and friendly staff always appreciated,

LuxembourgThe room I got was more like a small studio, with separate hall and kitchenette. I stayed only one night, but had it been only about the hotel, I would have liked to stay longer! Very good value!

AustraliaLarger Shower. This is the only thing that needs to be addressed, otherwise the property is great.
Great Period Hotel in excellent City Location. Staff were always helpful and ready to assist us. Only blemish, is the size of the shower (very small) but this is common in Sicily. However Sicily is now the new “Go to Destination” in Europe, if not on the planet, so larger showers would be a wonderful and welcome addition for future visitors from all over the world.

United KingdomThe shower controls were a bit mysterious, we couldn't turn it off at first. We had assumed one was on/off and one was temperature control, in fact they were hot and cold. The bed was large but not very comfy They don't have a secure luggage room, but you can leave your cases in the breakfast room, which is right behind the receptionists desk.
We had a lovely, huge corner room with a terrazzo floor and two lots of shuttered doors opening on to an L shaped balcony with a distant sea view. The breakfast was great, with lots of options, the chocolate croissants were especially fresh and yummy We have been staying in hotels in the old part of Sicilian town centres and were pleased to see this one has a lift, some don't. It was exceptional value for money.

United StatesI arrived there Sunday evening and nobody from the staff were there to make my check-in and give the keys of the room. I had to call the hotel, and someone told me that the key was in a table in the lobby and told me the number of my room. the room was dark (few illumination ), the bathroom was very small with toilette. The furniture is old and outdated. But it is ok if you stay for a purpose and stay for short period of time.
The location of the hotel is awesome. I literally stayed in the best neighborhood of Messina. It is very easy to arrive there from the Messina Centrale train station.
