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 StatesThe only negative would be the stairs if you have large suitcases, although Giovanni was more than willing to take both of ours up. He carried the heaviest one, and I had the lighter one. He also offered to help bring the suitcases down when we checked out.
The location is excellent, and the proprietor, Giovanni, was very welcoming and helpful in whatever we needed. It’s a 17 century building and Giovanni is such an excellent job. Thank you it comfortable, updated yet authentic. After we got settled, he sat down with us and went over a map of the island in gave us lots of great suggestions. As long as stairs, don’t bother you, this is a great place to go. He provides a light starter breakfast of coffee, croissants and some delicious jams.

United KingdomI can’t think of anything I didn’t like!
very centrally located.. we were able to explore Ortigia easily from this BnB. it was an old style charming palazzo, with a very spacious high ceilinged room! We were very comfortable and surprisingly it wasn’t noisy at all, considering the central location. Our host Giovanni was so very helpful and kind.. gave us some great restaurant recommendations and other tips. He even arranged for us to have coffee and croissant at a nearby restaurant, to make up for the broken coffee machine. We enjoyed our stay at Palazzo del Sale and I would heartily recommend it to anyone!

Our host Giovanni was attentive, helpful, and very gracious. Our room had an outdoor patio with rooftop views. The room decor was comfortable with uniquely designed. The location was in the historic neighborhoods of Ortigia Island and close to good eateries. All of this for a very reasonable price and good value.

AustraliaRoom was enormous and beautiful. Our host, Giovanni, was incredibly kind, generous and welcoming. We very much enjoyed our chats with him on the streetside deck with an excellent coffee and delicious cornetti with home made jams and lemon curd. Location was super central - close to bars for sunset Spritz, easy walk to the piazza and market too. A really comfortable bed too!

Our host, Giovanni, was super helpful whilst relaxed and friendly. He made excellent local recommendations and wonderful coffee and breakfasts on the terrace. B&B del Sale is in a great location up a quiet street in the southern tip of Ortigia very close to the Piaza del Duomo, the Fontana Di Aretusa and within walking distance of a local swimming beach. Lovely old property renovated in a contemporary style, with quirky local artwork. Our room was very spacious and there is a large, airy lounge to relax in as well. Overall we loved our stay.

IndiaEven before we arrived at the property, the owner, Giovanni, was in constant touch with us to ensure he understood all our requirements so that he could make our stay as comfortable as possible. When an owner is personally involved in the daily running of a property, you know you're in good hands and everything will be in ship shape! Whenever we would leave or return from a day out, we'd meet Giovanni. He would personally serve us fresh croissants and hot beverages every morning and enquire about our day's plan. He personally helped us with our luggage on arrival and during departure. He organised daily parking for our rented car superbly. He gave us excellent restaurant recommendations and sightseeing tips. The B & B is superbly located with so much of Siracusa's old town just a walking distance away. Also there are many restaurants all around, as well as the waterfront from where we could see beautiful sunsets. The famous Puppet Museum and Theater are also walking distance away.
