Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomLovely hosts, perfect location, the room is a fair size but it is modern and neat with a nice balcony to soak up the vibes before heading out. We parked our car at the Sant'Antonio which was only a 10 -15 min walk and super straightforward with EasyPark app. After spending time in Palermo we were expecting Ortigia to be congested but its actually a lot more chilled and easy to get everywhere on foot. Ortigia is beautiful and we think this is the PERFECT place to stay a few days there.

AustraliaLocated perfectly on Via Roma, Sciala Ortigia B&B was the perfect place to base myself for my stay. My balcony looked out over this main thoroughfare and I loved listening to the sounds of the city as the sun set every night. Every site was less than a 10 minute walk, with transportation from the train station so easy via the Loop Bus. Stefania was a perfect host, assisting me to check in, with food and activity recommendations and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay on Ortigia.

United KingdomThere was no sound proofing, so when the bin collections happen at 1 am it is very loud, and we could easily hear other guests. It didn't matter to us, but some people might struggle with the 2 flights of stairs up to it.
It's was beautiful, clean, and right in the heart of oritigia. Very central to everything. And the bed was so comfy. Stefania and Roberto were excellent hosts. Great communication before and during our stay. Very knowledgeable about the area, and gave us a great list of their recommendations for places to eat. They also arranged a taxi back to the airport for us.

IrelandThe room was beautiful, very high-end decorated and very spacious with a small balcony. The hosts have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Offering drinks on arrive, tea/coffee station with treats, which is a lovely touch. We got an early check in as our Trian arrived early and they were happy to accommodate us. Breakfast was coffee, pastry and juice in the café across from the fountain around the corner which is a great spot for an evening drink also.

This room was perfect, it was very clean, modern room, with modern bathroom and air conditioning and a veranda looking over the main Street in the center of Ortigia. Rooms cleaned daily and the hosts were friendly. Breakfast deal with the cafe around the corner on a great square is a big advantage, breakfast at this cafe each day was a highlight of our trip. This room has everything you need, is very comfortable and perfectly located. Highly recommend.

United KingdomThis place is right in the center of Ortigia, within walking (2-10 mins) distance of everything. Restaurants and bars on your doorstep. Nearby to a small shopping high street and pharmacies, tabacco shops etc. We had a balcony overlooking a beautiful side street of one of the main squares. Double glazed windows kept the noise out, but we left them open to hear the songs of the street. This was our favorite place we stayed in Sicily.

We received amazing restaurant recommendations from our hosts, which we followed and were never disappointed. The room was well-equipped, always clean, and we loved the stylish decor. If we return to Ortigia, we will definitely choose this accommodation again. Thank you, Stefania and Roberto, for everything!
