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 reviewThe owner was nice, the location was good, near the public and secured parking. The bed was hard, just as we like it.
Fresh towels had smell of sour and also the door in the shower was not as it looked in the pictures (there was half a glass door and a shower curtain).

Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel was very disappointing. Upon arrival, I found that the power in the room was not working. I immediately contacted the front desk and was repeatedly told, “We will come right away.” However, no one showed up for more than two hours, during which I was unable to leave the room. When a staff member finally came, the explanation was simply that they were too busy, which did not feel like a sincere or professional response. In addition, some of the towels provided had a very unpleasant odor, which made them unusable. The Wi-Fi connection was also unstable and would disconnect whenever the room door was closed, making it inconvenient to use. Despite these issues, I later received an email requesting that I leave a positive review, which I found quite inappropriate given the circumstances. I sincerely hope that the management will take these problems seriously and make improvements for future guests.

"There was supposed to be air conditioning in the room, but it didn’t cool the air – it was heating instead."

Verified reviewLovely, big, clean, comfortable room with a small balcony overlooking the main roundabout in Syracuse. Host was very friendly and felt at home. Location very convenient, only a few mins after getting off the bus/train, and only about 10/15 min walk to Oritigia or the Archaelogical Site and Cathedral, much better value than accomodation in Ortigia. Roundabout can be a bit noisy at times if the window is open but overall no issues
Nothing!

Verified reviewIt was clean. Room was a good size. Mattress was good. Breakfast room was good with free coffee.
This is another lodging with an absentee inn keeper. We had to wai a good half hour for him to show up and let us in to the room. fortunately we had a working phone or we would have never gotten in. He epalained that he sent an email, however without a pass word we had to access to it. very week and we had to sit right by the modem to use it. The inn keepers absense led to our resolution to stick with hotels and avoid B&Bs from this point on. This was not the 1st nor last time that no one was on the premises to greet us upon arrival, sometimes after hours of travel

Verified reviewThe Staff was friendly, the location was good! Lots of free snacks and coffee in the kitchen.
I booked the room with balcony and city view, room 6 had neither of them! They did some fixing at the room door for 30min after check in. The room was quite humid after check in, the window only helped slowly. The sink only had cold water (shower was perfect)!

Verified reviewIt was a good stay. There were free coffe, tea, yoghurts, buscuits, juices - it was very nice. Good bed. Clean. Nice balcony in the kitchen. The coffee was excellent. I had drunk two, the second one at 21.00 because it was sooo tasty... then I couldnt sleep but my stay in Sicilia was longer thanks to that heh... be careful of mosquitos with your light at night, because it is near to the sea.
