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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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):
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.
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.).

PolandThe balcony door that led to the common balcony was very hard to close properly and in my opinion not very secure.
The location is great - right next to Villa Bellini on main street. Room was small but charming and very comfortable, bathroom was very ok. I liked ornaments on the ceiling and very friendly staff.

I really had the best stay. Everyone working there is just SO NICE! There were lots of different people working at the reception and EVERYONE was really nice and happy to help with whatever question I had.

MaltaWalls are a bit thin so it’s a bit annoying when you have noisy neighbors, but that is not the hotel’s fault.
This was our second time staying here and we loved it, we will surely be back next time :) Staff are so kind and helpful, rooms are spotless. Wifi worked very well. The hotel is in the main road so you can access everything on foot.

NetherlandsWifi in room did not work at all. We mentioned it to the staff but not much they could do about it. Wifi works well in the reception area. The room was located right above the kitchen area, you could hear the dishes being washed well after midnight. They are flats below the hotel and people and kid literally screaming after 1:00 in the morning, terrible.
Location was great, staff helpful.

AustraliaOne of the best on our 6 week European holiday.
Nice hotel in handy location for main part of town. Contrary to what Google tells me the airport Alibus drops you off practically outside. Pay attention, the front door is a bit hard to notice. Our room was double storey which was fun. Plenty of breakfast options so add it to your booking. 24hr reception is great and seemed quite rare for similarly priced hotels in the area. The staff were all great. Vending machine in the lobby with beer.

United StatesIt seems like there is lots of live music, however I went out to eat around those hours, so no biggie for me. When I came back to my room, the music was done.
First impressions were of the staff at reception, everyone was warm and welcoming. The hotel is smack in the middle of Catania, so the Alibus is right there, I was arriving from Taromina so I came from the central bus station, which is a simple fifteen minutes walk. The facilities were well kept and the price was a good value Pro tip: I had to leave the hotel at 04:30 because I had an early flight and I did not want to take any chances so the girl at the front desk said that time in the morning, the price is €45 as supposed to half the price or take the bus during normal hours,booking.com listed £41 I said is Uber available and she said I don't think so, in front of her I went to Uber and booked a ride, yes it was available and the cost was €40.

United StatesThe room was noisy in the evening as there was a nearby restaurant and so you heard some kitchen and customer noise.
The location was great, I thought easily accessible the centro of Catania. The room was a simple, single room, perfect for my needs of just a single night as a solo traveler.
