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 is a small and very well run guest house in the centre of Palermo. It is quiet and well maintained. The host was very accommodating even going so far as to get fresh, gluten free, pastries for my daughter's breakfast. I'd definitely stay here again.

Verified reviewMarco was an excellent and accommodating host. He provided valuable recommendations for exploring Palermo and making the most of our visit. Despite our late arrival, his clear and prompt self check-in instructions made the process smooth. The location is ideal situated on a peaceful street just steps away from the vibrant energy of the city.

Verified reviewIf you wanna feel safe and be close to the city centre, this is the place to book! It was clean, the breakfast was delicious with sweet and salty options, our room was cleaned every day and towels replaced regularly and the host was welcoming. We also got new water bottles every day in our mini fridge so that was great. We also got to leave our luggage at the reception the day of our check out cuz we had a late night flight and wanted to explore the city for one more day, and came back at 7pm the same day to pick them up.

Verified reviewMarco is a nice person and helpful. Location is great. Car park is within 5 minutes walk from the Hotel.
Google Map location is wrong (but it is Google's problem). Hotel is inside the pedestrian zone (i.e. you cannot unload your luggage in front of the Hotel) and we need to spend some time to figure out the exact location from the address.

Verified reviewThe hotel is very well located, close to all the main tourist attractions. Marco was incredibly kind and attentive. I had mentioned that I needed to leave early in the morning and also asked if there were any gluten free options for breakfast - he truly went above and beyond. He prepared a sandwich with gluten-free bread and left it in the fridge for my early breakfast, along with some delicious cookies. You could tell everything was made with genuine care and generosity. He was also very friendly and clearly enjoyed making guests feel at home. The place was very comfortable and quiet at night, which made for a great rest. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and for anyone who’s coeliac, there’s a restaurant few steps away that serves gluten free pasta and pizza. A lovely experience — I’d definitely come back!

Verified reviewThe best part of the experience was the host. Marco is an amazing, kind, warm and open individual that made us feel safe and welcome. I would definetly recommend this place.
It doesn't have to do with Marcos place but Italy's breakfast culture is very different from ours. They emphasize sweets while we eat protein and fat so I would hve preffered more of those options. But as I say we encountered this in every Italian acommodation.

Verified reviewGreat location, 10 minute walk to main area. Multiple cafes right outside the door, which made a great stop for a drink or gelato before heading inside hotel.
Showers were a tad small but then again you are in Europe , can’t really expect more . Pillows a bit flat but no biggy , just fold it Keep in mind this is a BnB, no reception at night , you are given 3 keys, one to get in the main building , one for the apartment (Opera) and one for your bedroom It’s a 7 bedroom apartment unit We occupied 5 .

Verified reviewLocation is great in the more modern part of Palermo and there is a lot of restaurant and shops around. It was very easy to find. There was a lift to access the floor and the room was just big enough for us two for one night. We checked in quite late in the day as our plane landed in late evening. It was fine to check in anyways, which was really helpful from the staff. We gained access to the flat via phone conversation and found our keys on the door. There wasn't any staff to greet us, but it wasn't needed and would have been excessive as we arrive near midnight.
Noise travels, it was fairly noisy. The street was noisy in the morning and woke us up: loud engines, horn, shouting and overall Italian street type of noise... The fridge in the room was super loud, like the compressor was ready to die, that we had to unplug it during the night. The walls are quite thin too, that we could hear other guests around.
