Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 States of AmericaThe wifi did not work in our room and even in the common areas it was very spotty. We had an issue with batteries in our remotes that was solved very quickly.
The location was nice and close to downtown. The room was very large with a comfy bed. The best part was the kitchen area with snacks and water.

HungarySome people were having a great time partying in the building. (The noise stopped after we yelled out the window.)
Excellent location, walking distance from Catania Centrale railway station (which is 20 mins from the airport by bus, 1 hr train ride from Taormina). The historical centre is also about a 10 min walk away. The owner is kind, helpful and flexible, and easy to reach when you have a question. The shared kitchen offers a great variety of wrapped pastries, crackers, fruits, tea, coffee, bottled water for no extra charge, 24/7. There's a toaster, a double hob, coffee machine, a toaster oven, - but no microwave. Coffee shops and restaurants are literally around the corner, mini markets are maybe a 3 min walk from the place , and fancy bars and restaurants are also available in the centre. Wifi is stable, water is hot with nice pressure. The place is close to the see, but the area has more of an industrial dock vibe, so you cannot really have a nice walk by the shore near there. (For that, take the train to Taormina.)

JapanThere seemed to be a lot of plugs but only the one behind TV worked. The drain water was a little bit clogged during shower. However it’s a good value for the cost!
Very easy to access to the bus terminal and main station! Comfortable beds. Quick response from the staff. They offer many snacks and water!

Lovely building and bright room. High ceiling, balcony and enough storage if needed. The room and bathroom were clean and the staff was really friendly, flexible and informative. Well located, near the station and in the centre. The lady who cleans was really friendly and helpful as well. Water & snacks available in the kitchen area if needed. And the host responds well in time. So sweet that some tenants whispered in the corridors to keep it down for others. Thank you so much!! Grazie mille!!

We arrived very late at night at the airport when there was no more public transport running and they arranged a very smooth and decently priced transfer and late check in! - Everything is walking distance.

United States of AmericaOutside the building there is much to be desired but it’s still ok. The property could use some plants to spruce up the courtyard or main entrance so it feels more welcoming.
It was easy to book, staff was super friendly and accommodating, and property was located not so far from everything. Location is good for walkers, mass transit partakes, or drivers.

Czech Republic.. soft mattresses.
The accommodation was pleasant,clean, available hairdryer, TV, wifi, air conditioning, shared kitchen, large fridge, coffee machine, Italian sweet packaged pastries available. Bottled still water for tea or coffee. We were given vouchers for breakfast at a local cafe nearby, they had excellent local pastries there! The accommodation is close to the main station and the bus. The bed was big enough, a little soft mattress. Every evening we had a tidy room upon arrival.We were satisfied, we will be happy to come back!

EstoniaUnfortunately there was some misunderstanding with the transport to the airport in the early morning (organised by the owner), because the driver didn't come. Breakfast for the guests was organised in a cafe nearby (which was a good idea). Owner said, the cafe is opened already very early (even from 5 am), unfortunately it was actually opened from 7 am, so I hadn't chance to eat it because of my early flight.
The location was great and staff very friendly and welcoming. The room was beautiful and very clean. The house was spectacular with its long history. In the kitchen there was a coffee and biscuits available in any time.
