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 reviewThis house Is a true Oasis after an Etna experience. The beautiful view from the terrace together with the beer the owner greeted us with, were wonderful. A great home-like atmosphere with owners who trully care how u feel in their house. We also appreciated chatting with Umberto about his life-long experience of being a guide at Etna. And we were sorry we had not known Umberto had his tourguide company ať Etna. We would have gone up with him and learned from him. Breakfast was quite lavish. Homecake from Umberto's wife delicious. We greatly recommend this accomodation and we definetely will come back! Thank u
Everything was perfecto!!!

Verified reviewUmberto and Lidia are such good hosts, taking great care of their guests, with a particularly good breakfast in their spacious guesthouse, well situated in the atmospheric village of Ragalna on the southern slopes of Etna. We also appreciated the recommendation for dinner at a nearby trattoria. Car parking and good Wifi too. Great place to stay if you’d like a qualified guided excursion up the volcano, which can be organised by Umberto. Thank you both!

Verified reviewVisit Magma House if you're planning to spend a night around Etna, The energy of this place, and it's hosts is just amazing, and I wished we had more time to chat with the owners. Umberto and his wife are very caring of the guests, and we felt almost like a part of a family. He also recommended us a restaurant, one of the best family-like experiences in Italy. The room was warm, and with the possibility to warm it up even more with AC (in January). Even though we were the only guests in the house, hosts prepared us an amazing and tasty breakfast in the morning. I would recommend this place (especially if you're interested in Etna), and hope to come back one day!
Thank you, we had the pleasure of meeting you, you are an exceptional couple, even if you briefly filled Magmaguesthouse with your human warmth and joy. We really hope to see you again soon. Hi Anna Umberto and Lidia ❤️❤️

Verified reviewThe hosts were an absolutely amazing sweet couple. They made us feel welcomed and were both helpful and friendly. They speak limited English, I speak limited Italian, but with some help from google translate we made it work. Since we were between seasons we had the whole place to ourselves. Very cozy. A delicious breakfast served daily on the terrazza, spectacular! The views were unbelievable. Since we arrived on Monday, and many restaurants were closed, they called their friends restaurant and they opened special for us. Our hosts went above and beyond. The small town and surrounding area were an excellent getaway from the large cities of Sicily. Just to note: the setup is perfect for families or friends or groups traveling together, since there are shared bathrooms, depending on who else books. Large shared living room and kitchen. So basically, upper floor has 2 rooms: 1 double and 2 singles with shared bathroom. Which is where my friend and I stayed : 1 room each and 1 bathroom between us. The second area on the main floor, was by the kitchen. There was 3 rooms and 1 shared bathroom. 1 room was a small space with 2 beds, bunk style. Other 2 rooms were normal size (don't remember the bed size, as we were not using them). Parking included, gratis.
Nothing.
Thank you Roaming it was a real pleasure to meet you, you are exceptional and we hope to see you again Umberto and Lidia

Verified reviewLidya and umberto are the nicest people we ever met. They did everything possible to make us feel home. Their house is very big and comfortable, rooms are big, clean, and beautiful. Very big bathtub. They have all you need to feel at home. We had a great breakfast, tasty and fresh, every morning lidya made us fresh bread and cake 😍 we were a family with 2 kids and our friend. We all had our privacy. We are definitely going to come back again soon. Lidya and umberto really got into our hearts and our kids started calling them gradma and grandpa. I recommend this place as the best place in sicily! Oh and they also got my husband a really good cake for celebrating his birthday!! Best time ever ! ❤️❤️❤️
