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 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 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.).

CanadaVery little space for clothes etc. The suite (3/1) was not ideal from a location perspective. Everyone on the third floor and fourth floor had to go by the room so in the evening it was disturbing. Pick another room which would be quieter. I had to ask to have used wine and water glasses to be changed daily. That I found not really classy. And I did find some debris on the floor that should have been looked after prior to our checking in.
We had a suite and it was quite comfortable. The breakfast area is lovely as was the spread of choices for breakfast. Staff were excellent. Nadia and Raphael, at the front desk. were accommodating and pleasant to deal with. The location was excellent for walking to the various historical sites. The street was a pedestrian only street and that was quite pleasant.

United KingdomOn arrival at the Habitat on Sunday 16th June, we were met by Nadia at reception. We found her to be very professional, helpful and kind. A credit to the hospitality sector in Sicily. We have stayed in Habitat previously and were given an upgrade on arrival which was much appreciated by myself and my wife. The room was large, clean and quiet facing the pedestrianised street. Shower facilities were large and well stocked with good quality soaps. The breakfast was excellent with first class service staff, with tables immediately cleared and cleaned after previous diners. I would not hesitate to recommend this place and its staff to friends and family. The location is perfect for exploring city on foot.

NetherlandsEverything was perfect. If I really had to say something which could be improved is that I could somehow feel the vibrations of people walking the stairs when in my bed (but I am extremely sensitive).
Very nice boutique hotel, extremely well situated in Catania, with minimalist yet stylish (and spacious) room. The hotel staff were very friendly. The restaurant - both for dinner and breakfast - is a must! The dinner was delicious and the wine amazing. The breakfast was equally wonderful with a lot of tasty and local products. I would definitely recommend this place for any stay in Catania and hope to be back.

SpainThe hotel was a nightmare to find on a busy Saturday night in the dark, straight from the airport having never been to Sicily before. Catania is very busy with traffic and there was literally no where to park at all. We ended up phoning the hotel as we were lost and going round in circles, they kindly directed us to their own garage facility. I would recommend getting exact instructions for locating the hotel and the parking beforehand. It was disappointing that the restaurant was full and so we had to go out of the hotel to find something to eat and drink after our stressful journey.
Very stylish hotel with great design features. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Our room was a great size and beds were comfy, it was also quiet in the room considering that it was really in the heart of bars and restaurants that were extremely full on a busy Saturday night, which appeared to be the younger generation party night.

United KingdomNot that we didn’t like anything, just a couple of minor improvements could be a bigger (or more) bin(s) in the room. A box of tissues would be handy as would some body moisturiser. Art on the walls could improve it as would varying the breakfast options.
A lovely hotel, staff really helpful and informative with our queries. Great location close to the historical centre. Lovely room, especially the walk in shower!

GreeceHotel entrance is alternative and not very well indicated, somebody could miss it as it is not a "usual" hotel facade, rather an entrance of a residence in the area.

United KingdomCouldn’t park outside the hotel but could get within a 5 minute walk of the place.
It is without doubt, the best breakfast of any hotel I’ve stayed in over the last 5 years (and that’s over 200!). The food wasn’t vast, although certainly plentiful, but the quality is another level. The staff were super friendly, and we even got an upgrade (which hasn’t swayed the feedback in any way, shape or form). Rooms were clean, big and the bathroom, spotless with powerful shower. Would stay again.
