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.).

CanadaWe were in room 12 which smelled very badly of smoke. Bed was uncomfortable. There was a window in the bedroom that looked out to the hallway/stairs and we heard people coming and going all night. Overall it was good.
Central location with lots of good restaurants and attractions nearby. It was clean. Big shower which was nice.

UkraineEverything was very much ok
First of all - very friendly, customer focused owners Emily and Edoardo - many thanks to these wonderful people. It was very clean and comfortable in apartment, everything was clean and nice - all we needed was there, and once I’ve asked to arrange a surprise to my partner on her birthday, the bottle a good of prosecco was in the fridge, and two glasses were added while we were out. Edoardo explained the easiest and the cheapest way to get to the airport and supported with the public taxi phone number. The apartment is right in the very center of Catania, still it is very calm and quite, comfortable and nice. There was a coffee maker and a full glass of milled coffee as well as lots of tea. Two toilets were a good surprise. The terrace was quite (roof level) and cozy.

United KingdomFurniture in living room and on terrace looked good but not the most comfortable to sit on.
Fantastic location around the corner from Via Etnea with good eating places opposite and nearby. We stayed in no 12 with an outside terrace. Good to have water in fridge on arrival and also tea and coffee supplies. Fresh modern apartment, comfortable bed and the lift from 1st to 4th floor was a godsend. Emily at reception was very helpful.

RomaniaThe bedroom is very small and in apartment 1 the bed has a strange position, you need to be careful not to hit your legs every time you pass by it. The walls are very thin, you can hear everything. When people talk in the small hallway at floor 1, you can hear everything, as if they where right next to you.
The appartment reflects the money you pay for it. If you want a relatively cheap, clean accomodation and you do not expect anything fancy, this is the place. The location is great, right next to Via Etnea and within walking distance of all major landmarks. Our flight arrived late at night and we could arrange to do self check-in without any problem. The restaurant right across the street, Al Vicolo, has amazing pizza. Our windows were facing the other way, so we could not hear the loud music from their terrace.

LithuaniaNone of the 3 doors in the apartment work properly. Doors at bathrooms keeps getting stuck at the bottom when you try to open them. Bedroom door doesn't stay open, so you need to support it with something if you want AC to reach the room. Not a big deal, but gets annoying after a while.
Almost everything was great. Host at the reception was friendly and helpful. Our room had beautiful private terrace. Big apartment in general, full kitchen, two bathrooms. Building has an elevator, which is really slow but still better than nothing (which was the case everywhere else on our trip in Sicily)

I stayed twice at this place, first in a flat without a balcony and the second time in the top flat with an outdoor seating area. The place is central and easy walking access to all the main attractions & restaurants and cafes. It is well equipped with everything to prepare meals if one wishes. There is even coffee.

The location is the best possible in Catania, nearby is via Etnea, piazza del Duomo , good reastaurants, all kind of services for tourists, and all the most important things that can be visited by foot are close, and yet, the building is tucked away nicely so that there is no noise and it provides a peaceful vacation. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The best experience at the accommodation are the people who work there, and who met us with patience and punctuality, organized transportation to and from the airport, whatever was needed, they provided so that our vacation was completely unforgettable. Thank you so much Edoardo, Emily, Mary and others, it's wonderful that such dedicated and professional people work in this industry, you made our vacation beautiful. See you again :)

The location is central, near Stesicoro Place, very close to Via Crociferi. We were in a walkable distance to all important cultural and historical places of Catania. The apartment, located in an old building (carefully restored on the exterior), has a very interesting design.
