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...).

United StatesFood was so-so (although tbh we only had breakfast there) and feather pillows would have improved the beds.
The staff was very accommodating and the location can’t be beat. Very nice old building nicely decorated.

IsraelThe service in the breakfast room and the attention to missing items in the faxcilities (toilet paper, foot towl).
Location was very nice with a nice seaview. For restaurants you will have to walk to the island center which is approx 15 min.

United KingdomSome of the hotel was being renovated and it was tricky to find the front door. This also meant that the breakfast tables were a little tight for space. I expect that will all go away when the work is finished
Good location in Ortigia. They gave some good advice on where to eat and drink. Good reception.

United StatesBreakfast service was a bit slow; appear to be understaffed. Our room had several steps (including 3 downward steps immediately upon opening the door) and check-in staff didn’t alert us.
Excellent, high caliber hotel. It was previously a palace and has been completely renovated. Comfortable rooms, excellent beds and showers. Centrally located. Delicious breakfast buffet. We will return.

There was a very good breakfast, with lots of choice and pleasant staff.

United StatesThe only knock is valet parking takes one hour after notifying that you need your car. This is standard, so you better tell them you need your car one hour before actually needing it.
Beautiful historic property in a great location with well appointed rooms and a very good restaurant.

Staff were professional, courteous and efficient. Breakfast was "to die for" - if I stayed there too long, I'd die from overeating the fine food! Location and proximity to the main interests in Ortigia was great.

United StatesOur room was lovely, but it was definitely smaller than what we were expecting after looking at pictures online, so felt a little tight, but we were out and about most of the time anyhow.
We had a great stay here -- Ortigia is so small that everything is within walking distance, but was nice to be right on the water and in a calm area of town. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They do offer valet parking, which is helpful because you can't park right outside of the hotel, so definitely be aware. There is also a parking lot relatively close that you can park in for a daily rate.

ThailandReally lovely charming old building in a great location. The communication before check-in gave clear instructions for the parking. The whole process of valet parking was not too expensive or time-consuming. Breakfast spread was great and the staff at breakfast were wonderful and hospitable. The bed was super comfortable.
