Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The third bed in the three-bedroom apartment is quite firm and uncomfortable for sleeping, and nighttime traffic noise can be a bit disruptive.
The location was great, and the breakfast was enjoyable. The owner was exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Stayed for one night only as we had to leave early to catch the plane, but definitely recommend. The owner was very helpful and friendly. The room was very nice a perfectly clean. You can park your car in from of the villa- safely behind an electronic fence. Perfect for a visit of mount Etna or reaching the airport.

Our stay at the hotel was fantastic. It was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Dario, the owner was a wonderful host who made us feel right at home. He was the epitome of hospitality. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. When we wanted help to go to the airport because we had an issue with our car, he offered to take us there immediately! More than enough, thanks again! Great breakfast too!

You need a car to get there and anywhere from there. But it is obvious from the location shared on Booking.
It is close to the Etna, so very good if you plan a morning hike.

The most memorable thing about this place is most definitely the host Dario, very kind and attentive to the needs of his travellers. The location is easy to find with a private (gated) parking space, great breakfast, clean and comfy room. Overall a great stay, would highly recommend giving it a try if you are in the area.

Spacious room with a nice view of Etna, perfect for family of 3 or 4. Great location to stay if visiting with car as there is parking on site. 20 min drive to Catania centre and less than 1hr drive to Taormina and Mount Etna. Dario was an exceptional host, very welcoming, polite and super helpful with great advice for visiting local attractions.

The parking was very rocky and tight. Not ideal for low cars.
The room was cosy and consisted of the necessary facilities for a short stay. The breakfast was exceptional due to the very delicious pastries brought by the best host Dario. Dario is very kind and helps you if needed.
