How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewVery nice host. Tried to fulfill our requests, allowed us to leave our bags. Low price.
We rented a room for three people so as not to sleep in the same bed (we are just friends). It turned out that the bed for the third was a sofa, pushed close to the matrimonial bed, so there was no room to pass. There is no kettle in the room - we only got one after asking. There is no place for it near the outlet either; it could only be boiled by placing it on the floor. There is no coffee machine in the room either; you had to ask the owner to make coffee. There is no access to the kitchen, although it is indicated in the description. A breakfast voucher allows you to get coffee and cake in a cafe; there is practically no choice. There were cockroaches in the room. The owner, as it turned out, fights them with home remedies - an aerosol from the supermarket.

Verified reviewWe really like the hosts, we got the map, souvenirs and additional bottles of water. We could leave the bags after the checkout. The room was in old style, very comfortable and large. The breakfast was in the near caffe/pizzeria. We recommend this place.

Verified reviewThe apartments are comfortable,cosy and got sunlight,with sunblinds,including A/C. The staff were very courteous and helpful, asking for location directions,and especially when I had to borrow a mobile charger. The apartments are adjacent to main road,Via Gelone,(shopping outlets,pharmacies and tavola calda),and 20 minutes walk to Isola Ortigia and Teatro Greco and 5 minutes to the nearest supermarket. The nearest bus stop for the airport bus and others is 5 minutes walk.
Nothing.
thank you...

Verified reviewThe owners are so kind and lovely! we enjoyed our stay in their classic appartement very much, the real Sicilian feeling. We arrived on Catania airport with a severe delay at night, picking up our rental car but that was no issue and the sweet lady stayed up for us until the middle of the night! She had a Sicillian treaty for us and a small gift for our daughter upon departure, heartwarming! Close to the archeological park and 10-15min walk to Ortigia. Breakfast is outside in a typical bar around the corner, which we loved!
nothing, we loved our stay, thank you!

Verified reviewVery nice and welcoming people, and we received good advice about places to visit. The room was authentic and clean, air conditioning was working well. We got breakfast in a café next door with a very good selection of delicious pastries and savoury food and excellent coffee. The location is very convenient for visiting the city because is a 10-minute walk from Ortigia, as well as from the Archaeological Park and Museum and Catacombs.
The room was spacious enough for a few days but wouldn't have enough storage space for a long stay for a family of four.

Verified reviewThe gentleman who welcomed us was so pleasant and accommodating. He even allowed us to leave our bags after check out, with the keys to the premise do we could explore Syracuse at our Leisure 😊
If anything, we would have to say that the aircon wasn't the best working for cooling the room...

Verified reviewThe central location so that you could visit everything walking
The central location also meant that it was hard to find a parking space. The breakfast was a simple croissant with coffee in a cafe across the street
