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):
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.).

FinlandThe bed was quite worn. Could maybe use a new mattress. The breakfast was supposed to be included but we had to pay 4 euros per person for a gluten free option per morning.
Nice location. Parking was around the corner. We loved Syracuse.

FranceParking is very difficult/impossible in the center so we had to park in the parking at the beginning of the island ( Talete ) which did not feel safe at all. It is not really our hosts fault but I put it here for anyone planning to come by driving!
The apartment was clean and well equipped, check in was easy will all the informations given in advance. The location is perfect, right in the center! On check out day we were allowed to leave our bags in the apartment until we were done visiting, that was nice too!

United KingdomOnce we got used to the keys and card it was good. I think a WhatsApp message just prior to arrival would help as we couldn't find the room again after our evening meal lol. Maybe a sign or plaque at the door entrance on the 2nd floor would help?
The local cafe breakfasts were great. Massive filled croissants. You need the local car parking reserved which was very good. They drive up down the ramp for you.

ItalyWe never met anyone, it was a bit strange and I cannot know how quiet it is if there are other people in the flat. The living room is in common with other rooms, so you don't know what you can use and where you can leave your things (rooms' numbers in the fridge could help), and nothing to cook is provided. The breakfast coupon is a nice thing, but the options were very limited even if the bakery has plenty of things to eat. Mattress and pillows not very comfortable. In the area for the same price is possible to get a little flat. When you go to the living room you have to switch on the light from your room... maybe photocell could simplify things a bit.
Very easy check-in, we spoke at the phone, I entered in one minute. Owner very easy to contact and always responsive. All the house was clean and quiet. Very fast wifi. Coupon breakfast in a bakery close to the B&B, so you don't need to say at what time you have want to have breakfast. Perfect position, and plenty of cats just in front of the house.

RomaniaThe soundproof it's like inexistant. You cam hear people talking on the street, and also the neighbours. In addition the system that permits you to enter in the apartament/room is very loud, the noise it's imbearable in the morning.There's no parking spot nearby, you have to park in the big public parking, but there are 10min walk from the parking to the B&B ,so it's OK.
The location it's very good. Close to main objectives on the small Ortigia. Very clean and newly decorate ld and renovated. The easy acces by card and from distance. The breakfast at the Pastry shop was very nice and appreciated.

AustriaThe check-in process was really easy, allowing us to come when we wanted to. The room is part of a flat with a few rooms with a common kitchen and hallway. We didn't hear anyone else, so I assume good sound proofing. It was spotlessly clean, comfy bed and aircon. The location is also very central right near the duomo in a quite piazza.

ItalyWe filtered for "Parking" (which is also listed as first property highlight at the time of writing) and discovered on the day we arrived that in fact the property has no dedicated parking, one must book well in advance to get a spot in a nearby garage; we ended up paying 30€ (an additional 15% on the price of the booking) for public parking very far away from the B&B. I checked again and "Parking" is listed as a highlight on multiple places on the property's page on the website, and this ridiculous (if not deceitful) technicality is mentioned only once after a good amount of scrolling down. While this may be more an issue with booking.com for allowing this, a property should not list "Parking" as a highlight if it has no parking but relies on totally unrelated public parking somewhere else. The included "good" breakfast is a card to walk to a bar not exactly adjacent to the B&B, which also featured possibly the worst breakfast we had on our whole 2-week trip through Sicily.
Fabio was helpful and responded quickly. The location is definitely great, and even if inside the ZTL zone, Fabio communicated our licence plate to the authorities to be able to drive to the B&B. Rooms / toilets / shared kitchen and living space are very good.

BelgiumThe mattresses were not of very high quality, and therefore not very comfortable. We would recommend to replace them. We booked in this place mainly for the kitchen which we saw in the pictures on Booking but upon arrival we were told that according to Italian legislation it was not possible to use it. We did not experience the same in other B&B in italy. If this is the case though we would recommend removing the kitchen pictures from the overview of the flat, otherwise it can be misleading. We had a room without balcony and there was no way to hang wet towels etc to dry expect for a hanger ina dark room without window. Being it a place by the sea, it was a bit annoying. Could be resolved easily.
The location of the property is very good, walking distance from most attractions and restaurants in Ortigia
