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.).

Czech RepublicWe got Disney room and boy i felt really uncomfortably at best. Nobody speaks english, luckily enough we have phones to translate. Also theres is no curtains in the bathroom so you have nice view not only to the shower, but also to the toilet.
Its place is convenient, for its close to the airport. Also it seems we have no other guests in the next room, so all was silent during the night.

United KingdomThe basic amenities you would expect is not there. There’s no kettle. No teabags, no milk, no sugar. There was someone banging on the front door at around 2am. I messaged and called the owners but no response. Just be aware that the cost of taxis are quite high in Sicily. From the airport to this place is 20EUROS. Uber cost the same too. An Uber cost me 21EUROS from this place back to the airport.
The uniqueness of the rooms is something else. Also it’s only a 10 mins drive from the airport. I paid £22.05 on booking.com

NetherlandsI'm so sorry I have to write this since the manager was a really sweet man, but this place was just not it. I just needed a place to stay at near the airport since I arrived at midnight but man was that a mistake. This place is under construction, so it's not ready yet. The concept is amazing, lot's of great rooms with rock and roll themes, but since it was under construction, it was super dirty (everything we owned was under dirt, our bags were practically white with dirt when we walked out) super scary (especially when you arrive) and SUPER LOUD. The bed is really uncomfortable and it didnt look clean, I slept on my coat. The couple next door just couldnt shut up eventhough it was 2 o'clock in the morning and then we heard them have sex at 7 o'clock and then again every hour. The sounds were so close, it was like we were there with them. You could literally hear every moment. Horrifying. And to top it off, the construction workers start working very early and the were the loudest and rudest people on the planet. Ok, I paid maybe 40 euro's for the nigth, but man, it was a hellhole. Once the place is finished, I am sure it will be amazing!! And the mangers were sweethears so I hope that when this all done, they'll get many customers.

GermanyThe room itself looked nice in the photos, but it’s not the actual reality after you Arrive , I spent about 6 hours there, before departing to the airport which were okay, but anything longer than that would’ve been unbearable. The main inconvenient points were the lack of windows,and a room packed with wood furniture, and decorations which gave the ambiance a very bad feeling, everything was very moist and humid due to the lack of windows, the bed wasn’t comfortable at all and it’s was very hard to fall asleep. At the website of the property it says the transfer to the airport will be 17€ which in reality were 20€, also the entrance is under construction as reviewed per the past guests. My general note was 4/10 but due to the price payed it’s fair. Remember that it’s a very dangerous neighborhood as well. Also we found a toe-/ fingernail on our bed.
The was very much fair. And also the autonomous check-in.

Hated it! Great idea with celebrities themed rooms but staff location e nightmare Librino i later found out it’s the slams of catania and also dangerous They had construction on and you had to pass under a ladder whilst they were welding and using power tools whilst you needed to pass. Like common sense?! Staff screaming and fighting whilst moving furniture that lasted like 10 minutes we no respect to guests sleeping or staying. Walls are paper thin and you can hear guests breathing next door. Mouldy smelly rooms… do I need to continue?! Please stay elsewhere.

The themed rooms are kitsch But everything else is horrible Firstly the area is very scary dirty and dangerous. The noise levels Well you can hear the neighbours snoring The room very bad smell of mould It’s under construction and very dangerous no occupational health and safety. There’s constant screaming and fighting from the management and cleaners. I slept between 1-5am as you can hear also travellers waiting up at 5am for their early flights. I’m shocked and need a holiday after this! NEVER AGAIN!

Austria1. its 1.9km from the airport not 1.2 (its not possible to walk because you need to cross the highway) 2. The location of the appartment is probably in the worst area of catania, as two girls we definitely didn‘t feel safe there 3. We felt like we entered a construction area decorated with creepy figures when we entered the appartment. ( Real size spiderman figures in interesting positions, mannequins cut into half and their legs used as vases, chopped off stuffed monkey heads on the walls) 4. The room was actually quite okay, if you are looking for a expierience. It was tidy but it was in the basement and had no window, therefore a very bad smell. We only stayed for 7 hours but couldn‘t wait to get away. We left 2 hours earlier than we had to, just to get away!
The host was friendly and recoomend a good pizzeria.
