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 infinity pool was delightful!

Verified reviewThe breakfast they served was good, with tasty local food. It was set up and served nicely. The host was very nice and chatty. I liked the decor of the rooms and the place in general. The bed was comfortable. The complimentary water was appreciated. The room was very clean and the furnishings were new.
The pool, which is why we chose the place, was closed. They said the dates of opening were stated in the description, so beware! The place was impossible to find. The host had to come two streets out and flag us down. We could not park close to the entrance. The surrounding area was not that nice. We couldn't throw the toilet paper in the toilet; we had to use a bin next to it. There was no bidet. The place was dark, with only one small window in the bedroom and no window in the bathroom. They gave you only a half-hour window to get to the breakfast room, which was a small, dark, back room, and you could not help yourself to coffee.
your opinion is worth nothing and I think it is an insult to all those people who had a good experience in the facility. I feel sorry for you that you do not read the provisions on Booking.

Verified reviewWe spent one night at this accommodation. The place is beautifully decorated and very clean. The pool is lovely, large, and exceptionally clean. All praise goes to the host, who is an extremely welcoming and warm gentleman. Breakfast exceeded all expectations – a true Sicilian experience. We highly recommend this accommodation.

Verified reviewNewly built, modern units under the owners home. Parking on site. Owners are very friendly. They know very little English, but we got by just fine using a translation app. We very much enjoyed the town of Noto, and this B&B was very convenient for walking the town. The vibrant old downtown is directly uphill from the B&B . The hill is steep but not exhausting. B&B Melissa is on the edge of town, so it was perfectly located to enable us to make side trips to Modica and a local winery. Enjoyed our stay very much!
It is difficult to find B&B Melissa. Our map app. took us to the correct street and the wrong house. That was when we learned that the house numbers on any given street may not be sequential. The street ends and restarts many meters below. You can see your destination below you but you need to go around several blocks to get there. When you reach the end of the street, you need to go up one street and over two streets and then back down. Beware the one way streets involved. The pool looked very nice but was already winterized and closed. The toilet in our room was so close to the wall that anyone taller than about 6 feet would be unable to fully sit.

Verified reviewGiuseppe & his family were incredible hosts - picked us up & dropped us at the train station & even arranged a ride to the ferry (trains don't run on Sundays). We don't speak Italian but Google translate got us through. Property feels brand new & high end...pool was closed so can't comment

Verified reviewIt was clean and spacious and only a 10min walk to the centre. The owner was very friendly.
I was surprised the pool was around the corner in the owner’s house. Also we got charged double for the city tax. Whilst fine for us, there are steep slopes to walk into the centre

Verified reviewFairly comfortable room with great communication from the host.
Location was a bit away from the city, with plenty of hills and bad drivers in between.
sorry but I know it's on the hill 🤷🏻♂️

Verified reviewIt was a lovely experience; we enjoyed our stay, and the host was very hospitable. All the Necessities were available, and the host went out of his way to accommodate us. We enjoyed a relaxing time by the pool and we were welcomed by the host. They helped us by suggesting ideal attractions to make to visit.
We had a slight issue with the Air conditioner but the host came to check immediately and sort out the issue.

Verified reviewB&B Melissa is a great place to stay in Noto! It's a 5 minute walk from the historic city center and has a really nice pool. The location is therefore great for mixing culture and relaxation. We spent most mornings and (early) afternoons at the pool and went to the city afterwards. The breakfast consisted of fresh fruit, yoghurt, toast, croissants and cappucino. The host is great. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. Would highly recommend this location.
