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.).

Our stay here was very comfortable. Salvio could not have been more helpful, offering good suggestions about restaurants and how to use our time in the area to the best advantage. The secured free parking could not have been bettered. A real plus. The breakfast at the cafe across the street was absolutely fine and adequate. Would definitely recommend this accommodation

BulgariaEverything was perfect.
The host was very friendly and helpful. He helped us with our luggage and was always available to help with anything we needed. The breakfast was great. The apartment has its own unique atmosphere. It is close to the bus stops and the train station, making it very convenient for tourists who are not just staying in Siracuse.

The apartment, designed around a piano concept, was very comfortable. Although we stayed only one night, the host welcomed us with great kindness and provided detailed explanations and support regarding parking and breakfast. It was also conveniently located within walking distance of the main attractions in Syracuse, making it easy to explore the city.

About a kilometer to the island, 600 meters to the excavations. If you want excellent care, concern and help - you are traveling with an elderly person or a small child - be sure to choose this place!!!

MaltaThere is nothing that attracted our attention.
The communication with Salvo was ongoing and excellent, both at the time of booking and also during our very short stay. Given that we arrived in Siracusa at an earlier time, Salvo was so kind to allow us an early check in at noon. As we arrived at the location there was Salvo who greeted us in the street and gave me access to the gated private parking. There are two flights of stairs to reach the apartment with no lift; it was good to do some physical exercise :) . The property consists of two spacious rooms and a private shower room with inbuilt music / radio :) . There is also a piano in the room :) . Despite the very close proximity to a hospital, the rooms were free from outside noise and we could get a full good night sleep. Complementary water, juices and tea making facilities were available in the room. The property is equipped with an AC, has a matrimonial bed and another two single beds in the second room. Breakfast which consisted of coffee, orange juice, milk and croissants was delivered to our room at the agreed time. Ortigia is 20 minutes on foot away from the property; and we could enjoy the nice walk along the commercial / lively main roads. The property is pet friendly

BulgariaOur stay in Siracusa was more than perfect. The owner of the apartment, Salvo, made it even better with his hospitality and excellent behavior. We couldn't have asked for more. Our flight to Catania was delayed with 2 hours and we weren't able to collect our car on loan. At the last moment we saw that there was a bus to Siracusa and we took it immediately. We wrote a message to Salvo and he was such a great person to come and take us from the bus station at 1 o'clock during the night. Thank you Salvo!

United KingdomSalvo is Professional host offering plenty of guidance around Siracusa (inc. map of attractions). He is responsive and pleasant person. Good almost seamless Whatsup contact. Localisation of the “II Pianoforte B&B” makes it especially easy for anybody who wants to visit Ortigia and Syracuse attractions just by walking. Multiple restaurants are also very accessible. Availability of a private parking with secure access is increasing safety of hired car. Greetings for friendly and helpfull breakfast staff from “Bar Milano”. Highly recommended. Thank you Salvo.

United KingdomThe host is very helpful. He gave us very useful information about local amenities and he was always making sure we were comfortable and happy. We also appreciated the private parking spot as we traveled by car. The breakfast was lovely and provided by a bar, across the road. The baristas were also very kind and welcoming, and full of information (I had a personal mini geology lecture on Etna volcano!). The place's location is also good. It was a 10-minute walk to the archeological park and a 10-to 15-minute walk to Ortigia island.

CanadaIf you need to use the air conditioner, it’s rather noisy. Since it was October, we only used it to cool the place after dinner before we went to bed. Breakfast was good if you like continental style - your choice of baked good, drink and yoghurt cup at the bar across the street - but not the kind of breakfast we’re used to.
Spacious, comfortable apartment (more crowded if 3 people). Salvo is a really nice host, very responsive. He lent us two bikes to use and carried them up and down the stairs for us. We chose this place because it came with free, secure parking. The place is very close to the archaeological park so well located for that, but about a 15 minute walk to the start of Ortigia Island so less well located for the latter. However, we used the bikes to go to Ortigia, although you have to be comfortable cycling in traffic. It was quiet at night but some early morning traffic. Restaurant with good food around the corner.

SloveniaLocation of the room is not in the very nice zone. There is no nice wiev from the room. And breakfast is served in a quite unpleasant caffeebar very close to the room. We wouldn't choose this accommodation for longer period.
We stayed here only for one night and we came from the airport very late, so we just needed a room for one night. The best part was absolutely that there was a reserved parking spot for us just behind the buiding and on top of it the very kind host let us leave our car there also the whole next day even after our check-out. The room is nice, big and very clean. The host is very helpful.

We had 2 large rooms with beds and a couch, so for 2 of us, it was spacious and comfortable. The location was perfect, we were able to walk to all the sites, and there were lots of cafes and shops on our doorstep. Our hosts were very caring and helpful.
