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 reviewSpacious clean rooms, great shower, presence of a sauna (paying), nice compound and pool
- seaview from the pool is completely gone because the owner built a house behind the pool. Pictures are completely inaccurate - breakfast is pretty boring. Same every day, nothing special - Compound is next to the highway

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay! The host was absolutely exceptional! kind, attentive, and always willing to help. Although breakfast is usually served at 8 AM, he kindly prepared it earlier for us so we could eat before leaving the accommodation. He went above and beyond to assist us with anything we needed, and it's clear that he takes great care of the property. The cleanliness was outstanding, everything was spotless and well-maintained. And we have to mention the lemon trees in the garden. truly fabulous and added such a charming, authentic touch to the whole experience. Highly recommend this place! ❤️ P.s the pool is open 24/24

Verified reviewTucked away in a tranquil area yet conveniently close to the town center, this place offers the perfect balance of peace and accessibility. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. The property is spotlessly clean throughout, with private gated parking adding an extra sense of comfort and security. The pool area was a true highlight—exceptionally relaxing and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need, including a coffee machine and ice-cold beverages just steps away. Breakfast was a daily treat, with a delicious selection of fresh options ranging from sweet to savory. Our room was cozy and well-appointed, featuring a mini fridge that kept everything perfectly chilled, efficient air conditioning, a comfortable bed, and a spacious bathroom stocked with all the toiletries one could ask for. The cherry on top was our private terrace, where we spent each evening unwinding with a glass of wine, watching the sun dip below the horizon and cast golden light over the sea. Truly an unforgettable stay.

Verified reviewThe property was spotlessly clean and clearly was very newly built/refurbished. Everything is exactly as pictured. the pool was great fro sunbathing and swimming and the rooms were comfortable with all the extras you need on holiday. The staff were all very friendly and tried to help within the constraints of the language. It felt very secure on site and because of the size it felt a bit like you had your own private villa at times.
Breakfast was limited. The are around the property was a bit run down, but that was common in Sicily Once you got used to it, it was fine.

Verified reviewWe loved everything about this accommodation. We’ve been to Italy many times and travelled across Sicily too and this is one of the best places we’ve ever had. The property is new and the owners put a lot of work in to keeping the standards high. Sebastiano is out cleaning the beautiful pool area every morning while you enjoy fresh locally sourced food for breakfast. The team of polite and friendly ladies make sure breakfast is how you like it and then begin cleaning the rooms afterwards, they do a great job. Sebastiano gave me his phone number and told me to contact him any time for help, when I asked him for a corkscrew he was there in minutes! I never leave reviews but felt that Villa Carmiano deserves it, we had a fantastic week.
Nothing, excellent value for money.

Verified reviewBeautiful well-kept property, clean room, spacious and well-equipped bathroom, and nice hosts. The host accepted a last minute booking and was kind enough to accommodate us.
Spa advertised in the booking were not ready for use, which was quite disappointing as I had booked this property because of the hot tub. Pool area was also emptied out (maybe because of it being off season)

Verified reviewIt's a great place to stay away from famous historic towns and popular areas nearby, yet close to enough to visit without having to drive too much--only five minutes away from Avola town center. It feels like staying at your own countryside villa. Gated villa with four rooms only with an electric auto charging station; extremely clean rooms and the ground; The owners are very kind and enthusiastic to aid/guide you in every possible way. I saw some negative reviews about breakfast; however, I thought the breakfast was more than enough.
