Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

PolandAs in some other comments it is pretty noisy due to the location of the apartment. All the noises from the street are well heard in the apartment and it is noisy in the night (cars, scooters and people)
We traveled as a couple and stayed in apartment for 4 nights, the location is great in a walking distance to all attractions. We were also able always to find parking spot on the streets next to the apartment. Apartment is big with private bathroom, there is shared space (kitchen/living room) but we did not use it during our stay. The hosts were very responsive and helpful.

GermanyThe toilet looked like it was not cleaned, a bit moles shower in the corners. AC was not working properly. It was on 16 degrees and it felt like it was barely on. We did not complain to the staff, maybe it would have been fixed.
Good location - with good pastry and good arancini place next to it. Friendly staff, they help you whenever in need, which is great. Big bed.

Austria3 nights in the room 'Aria'. Very impressed with the decor of this spacious suite, and it felt very private. Check in was easy, and the host was very accommodating, even though I didn't meet them in person. Even though there is nobody actually there on reception, the host always responded quickly to my questions and requests. It seems to be quite common in Sicily to have a B&B without somebody there on site, and even though it felt unusual at first it actually works very well. The shared kitchen area is practical and functional, but I would have preferred a coffee maker in my room as I always had the feeling I was disturbing the other guests when using the kitchen to make coffee ( the walls are quite thin and the coffee machine quite loud ;) ) Some of the furniture is a little worn and tired, but I loved the design and having so much space for such a reasonable price The location is good, but the apartment is on a main road and being on the 1st floor it is pretty loud. If you are a light sleeper this might be an issue but it didn't bother me too much. I think next time I would want to stay a little closer to the old town, but that's not to say the location isn't good. Via Etnea, the main shopping street, is very close by.
