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 service was exceptional. We had fresh pastries, meats, breads and fruit every morning. And I cannot forget the coffee. Our room was cleaned every morning with clean towels. Miriam was very helpful in suggesting places to see and always sending us links so that we would not get lost. In other words, we were treated like family. Thank you Miriam and Cristina, you outdid yourselves. God Bless you.

Verified reviewIn Greece we say that people make the difference. Myriam and Cristina are the best hostesses we have ever met by far, all these years that we travel. We can not thank them enough for their hospitality and professionalism. Actually, the way that they run their business is the reason that everyone should choose this apartment in Catania. Room and bathroom are spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean . Air conditioner working properly. We did not mind the distance from the city centre, since we had a car and it was quite easy to find a parking lot nearby. Breakfast was definitely the highlight of our stay : it was the best breakfast served through "breakfast included" rooms, in our whole journey in Sicily. We ate eggs in breakfast after one week. It also included a variety of local delicacies savory and sweet, as well as yoghurt, fruits, juices e.t.c. Overall it was a WORTH REMEMBERING accommodation. Keep up the good work!!! Wish you all the best!!!
Nothing to dislike.
we are honored and moved by your wonderful words...we do our job with passion...as travelers for travellers! a huge hug and see you soon! thank you with all my heart!Miriam and Cristina

Verified reviewOur host Miria was amazing. She provided all the information about activities near Catania. She also prepared delicious breakfast. Beds are very comfortable and the accomodation is good to stay for a couple of days.
The neighbourhood was full of trash all around the street, just like in the city center.
thank you very much for the wonderful words about me and about my structure, we were happy to host you and get to know you. I am saddened by the conditions in which my splendid city is at the moment, we try to show you the beauty (which is so much) and we hope we have succeeded in spite of everything...see you soon!Miria
