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.).

United StatesWe stayed at the B&B Opera for 8 nights in early October and enjoyed our stay tremendously. The central location is ideal for those who want to stroll around the old part of the city. There is no elevator, however, so you need to be prepared to walk up and down a few flights of stairs each day. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was quiet, even though it was located on a narrow and busy street; in addition, the blinds closed completely to make the room as dark as we wanted it. There are many nice restaurants, cafes, and tour offices within easy walking distance of the B&B. In particular, we enjoyed the breakfasts they offer, which are truly exceptional! We had delicious cappuccinos, a freshly made omelet, freshly baked croissants, and fruit juice every day There was also fresh fruit, sliced tomatoes, olives, yogurt, rolls with olive oil, and more to choose from, all for 9 euros each per day. The breakfasts are well worth the price (actually, they are a bargain!) and we really enjoyed eating our breakfasts on the outdoor terrace in the cool morning air. The people who run this B&B are terrific and they will take great care of you. Here's an example: we were planning to take the train to Palermo at the end of our stay, which would have required us to take 2 separate trains (there is no direct train to Palermo) and a taxi when we got to Palermo, which would have taken us more than 4 hours of traveling. However, the owner's son, Alberto, agreed to drive us directly to our hotel in Palermo for less money and in about half the time it would have taken us otherwise! Obviously, we would highly recommend this B&B to anyone who doesn't need to use an elevator to get to the upper floors.
