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 reviewThe property is in the heart of the historic district making everything an easy walk. The hosts are attentive, responsive, welcoming, and eager to help in anyway. They are a true delight. (Because of the property’s location within the historic district, you may find yourself in need of additional guidance if you are driving in. The host was quick to find us when we got a bit confused and guided us the rest of the way.) The parking is actually within the palace’s courtyard.

Verified reviewWe loved living in a palace, very special! The outdoor private courtyard was a bonus, both day and night. Location fantastic. Martina was extremely helpful. Although breakfast is not provided, fresh fruit, sweet goodies and fruit juice were provided and topped up daily. Quite sufficient for our breakfast.

Verified reviewThe flat is bigger than my own home. Martina provided fresh fruit, coffee and tea, chilled water and juices too! The location was perfect for enjoying the annual infiorata and the terrace was more than appreciated to escape the infiorata crowds.
To turn on the light above the coffee area, you have to use the switch outside the room that also turns on the lights over the bed, so just a small thumbs down.

Verified reviewThis beautiful property is a little “gem” right in the heart of Noto city and just a few steps from the Cathedral and principal corso.. The room was spacious, well furnished, clean and comfortable and also had a little private terrace overlooking the rooftops onto the cathedral.. the hosts were welcoming and made us immediately feel at home and the room had free snacks, fruit, water, juices and a coffee machine.. We loved this fantastic place and next time we visit Noto we will definitely come back to this little treasure!!
There was nothing we disliked about this property.. it was 100% perfect!

Verified reviewFabulous location in the centre of Noto with space to park our car which was a godsend. The room was huge - like an apartment without kitchen - and a lovely outdoor terrace area with rooftop views. There were lots of lovely touches like fruit, snacks and a fridge with soft drinks and breakfast was available in the next-door cafe.
Just a word of warning that there is a steep staircase up to the room. Breakfast options are limited in the cafe ie pastries only.

Verified reviewThis was a perfect start for the holiday at Sicily. As our flight first was cancelled because of the outburst of the Etna, we had to fly two days later. We contacted the owners of the palazzo, Martian and Alfonso, that we had this trouble and if we could be at thee hotel one day later, still for two days. Even that they planned those days to shut down and clean up every room for the busy weeks after, we could come. But also they waited for our late arrival (1:15 hrs AM!!!!) Those two are very special and we are vere thankfull. To them! We had the upper room with our own terrace, big, clean, wonderful. Thank you so much Martina and Alfonso!! When coming again to Sicily I will give you a call! And stay at the palazzo…
It was perfect!

Verified reviewWe’ve been to Noto a few times, and this was by far the best place we’ve ever booked. A great location, a spacious loft apartment in an old ‘palazzo’, furnished with original and charming furniture, a little private outside terrace, coffee/tea making facilities in the room, and a fridge stocked with drinks and treats. Perfect! We definitely plan to return!
Everything was great, but if I had to pick just one minus point, then it was the lack of sockets in the room to plug in chargers for our devices.
