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 reviewLocation Breakfast was fantastic Cappuccino was great It was only a few minute walk to the Domo and tons of restaurants all around the outside The staff was great too Love the warm croissant
Seems to be a mix up on the tourist tax Bookings receipt showed it in the rate I paid but hotel said it was not paid. I think we ended up paying an extra 8 euro because of language barriers

The pillows were not the best quality I've ever slept on.

Verified reviewA classic old hotel in an excellent and interesting location. Clean and spacious room with good wifi. Good value for a short break.
Breakfast was only adequate. Flimsy plastic glasses for juice and plastic covering the tablecloths! The staff were not effusive and spoke no English which was surprising as we made an effort with our smattering of Italian.

Verified reviewUnique atmosphere, not the standard hotel room of the corporate hotel company. Plenty of space , Superb ceiling decorations and a nice balcony. Located right in the centre of town, every place worth of visiting is at walking distance, bus stop to/from airport/station only a few steps away. Lovely kind staff.

Verified reviewFirstly I booked one night, but I changed my plan to stay there additional night. When I said that for staff, they were friendly and willing to offer additional stay there. Interior is historic and cute. Not like a modern hotel but it was very comfortable. Location is also good for sightseeing.
Little bit difficult to find a entrance. But not big problem.

Verified reviewIt was a very simple and quiet hotel in a good location, close to the main points but not too close, which is great. Staff was super friendly, breakfast was ok. Don’t expect a buffet, but it does cover for a great start of the day. It was a perfect peaceful two days stay; used the place just to get some rest.
It wasn’t super clean. I really didn’t care about it. Wifi wasn’t good, maybe that’s the worst of the hotel.

Verified reviewGreat value for money. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Exactly what you want from a 3 star hotel. Fantastically central location.
Could have done with a bottle of water in my room and the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner but for a 3 star hotel this was understandable.

Verified reviewLovely retro style. It is an old and restored private house, so it has lot of charm, as the city centre all.
The location is superb if you are on holiday and want to enjoy night life, but in the morning there is some noise coming from the main road.

Verified reviewGreat location. Comfortable beds and clean. Airconditioned. Good size room. Basic breakfast but adequate and coffee served. Family run and 24 hour reception. Part of a building but with small lift and key code door. Alcohol available but you couldn't really call it a bar e.g. no ice. Would absolutely recommend it for a visit to Catania.
No ice and that's not really a complaint!
