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...).

SloveniaIt's literally in the middle of city center. Building was amazing, old italian city house. Room was a little bit colder, but we slept amazing because of it. Host was very friendly, gave us cookies and explain how to get around Palermo. Also managed to get as private parking 4 min walk from apartment.

Room was in the perfect location for Palermo. Clean modern with all that we required. Quiet and convenient for the location. The friendly lady helped with getting parking and getting to the location which could have been difficult as it was in a ZTL. Communication made the whole experience excellent.

RomaniaNo natural light. When I booked the room I was aware that the window was toward the interior courtyard. But when I got there, there was no natural light at all, and for me it was depressing. Sun and blue sky outside, dark inside. Other rooms seem to have windows toward a side street. Early cleaning. Someone started vacuuming and cleaning a room close to mine at around 7 am, and it woke me up. I could hear all of that. Please wait maybe until 10 for the cleaning.
The location is excellent, right on Via Maqueda, close to everything. My room had the window toward the interior courtyard, so there was no noise at all from the busy street. The room was clean and tidy. Francesca was nice and helpful.

United StatesIt was the best landing spot for me. Zero complaints
First- Francesca, the hostess and property owner: Delightful. Helpful. Always available with suggestions, site seeing , restaurants, history. And the best cookies are placed in the room every morning. Place is spotless. Very Comfortable bed, linens, towels. Quiet, which is key for me. I needed to check in during siesta time and she forwarded me instructions. Walking distance to everything. Will be coming back and recommending to all my friends..

United KingdomLovely place right in the middle of old city with all the amenities and touristic attractions just a walking distance from the accommodation place😊. The room was big and very cool with no need to use the air conditioning during the hot summer days and the bed very comfortable, we slept like babies in there. We recommend to anyone who wants to be in the heart of Palermo!

AustriaFrancesca was very welcoming and gave us a lot of information about the city. The facilities are very clean and we had everything we needed. It's located in the middle of the busiest street, so it can be loud but we slept well using earplugs. It's walking distance to many of the touristic places, very nice. I can only recommend this place.

United KingdomAs well as the location is good, it is on a bar restaurant road, so it is, a bit noisy but at the end it does not disturb you much... . I would just suggest to have a little fridge and a small table.. If you bring drink, water there is no place to keep it cool. But tbe lady was soo helpful.. Grazie mille...

GreeceIt would be nice to provide two sets of keys, so that residents can move about a bit more freely. Other than that, great service and Francesca was really helpful with the parking arrangements, which can be tricky in Palermo.
A set of modern apartments, with two common rooms, including a kitchen and sitting area, that serves as a reception where they welcome you with maps and bits of useful tips and information about Palermo. The location is amazing, it's a 1 minute walk to Quattro Canti and all other major attractions. All in all, I recommend it.

New ZealandYou have to stay at Francesca's when you're in Palermo! She is the kindest, most hospitable host/person I've come across on my travels. I broke my leg in Palermo (before arriving at her place) and she went above and beyond for me to help me and make me comfortable. She carried me up stairs, found space in her hotel for me when she was already fully booked so I didn't have to move, brought me food, filled my prescriptions, organised a Dr to visit me and help me get home. The list goes on and on - she was there for anything I needed during my injury. She treated me like family. Thank you so much, Francesca, I am so grateful to you, your staff and your family! 🥰 The hotel rooms are all lovely too (I should know I stayed in 3 of them). ☺️ Really comfortable beds, complimentary delicious biscotti, smart TVs and big lovely, clean and renovated rooms. And the location is great, right in the centre of the historic centre, but the rooms are quiet. Her bar/restaurant downstairs is great too! Especially if you're into fantastic, yet inexpensive, Aperol spritzes. 😁🍹 Do yourself a favour and stay at Francesca's! I'll be returning one day with two working legs and we will go dancing! ♥️
