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...).

PolandSpacious, clean room, equipped with air conditioning and a small balcony. Private bathroom outside the room. Close to public transport, the station and the center (Duomo, Via Etnea). Giuseppe is very nice and very helpful. He provided us with many valuable tips on sightseeing, communication and places to eat. Delicious breakfasts - a croissant and a hot drink delivered to your room! We recommend - very good and inexpensive accommodation in the center of Catania.

PolandI have traveled a lot but here I experienced the worst service, simply unfriendly. I don't recommend this place. Even before I had arrived, the only message I had received was "Check in? what time?” It really doesn't take much to say hello politely and ask what time the guest will arrive. And then it only got worse. I had the impression that the guy there couldn't wait for me to leave. During check-in, he scolded me for arriving so late (after 10 p.m., and the offer includes check-in until midnight), even though I had told him earlier that I would tell him when I would take the bus from the airport - as sometimes happens, the flight was delayed and I had to wait for the next bus. Moreover, the room I got did not match the one in the photo. The structure does not offer luggage storage. Breakfast was ok, but even though I ordered it for after 9 a.m., the guy started banging on the door at 8:25 a.m. Fortunately, I only spent one night there. I won't go there again.
Close to the center, clean room, breakfast included in price.

United KingdomI loved how every morning Giuseppe would wake us at our requested time with fresh coffee and croissants. Also he was so lovely enough to go to a pizza shop for us late in the evening when out just eat ordered didn't arrive. And how every time we went out he would greet us and how every night we came back no matter how late he would wait up for myself and my friend to make sure we both got back safe he was amazing and I will be difficult be going again.

SloveniaWeird neighbourhood, one gets a feeling he's not safe. The bed was not comfortable, and there were random hair on towels. We slept badly as someone was throwing up in the middle of the night. There is only one bathroom for plenty of people, and while both of us were in there for 15 minutes, one was knocking on the door constantly, reminding us this is a shared bathroom, which was rather annoying.
Breakfast was delicious and the room is close to the centre.

Giuseppe was such a good host from the booking agreeing to waiting for us until past 1am due to a delayed and redirected flight. So kind, we were exhausted.The building is such an interesting place to stay. Giuseppe provided chilled water and goes out to get the breakfast from a local patisserie.

HungaryWe loved everything! The room was absolutely clean and tidy. Giuseppe is absolutely great person! He greeted us, gave valuable advice about what to visit. We asked him where we can taste the local wine and he brought us a bottle of wine as a gift, it was so sweet! He keeps everything super clean in casa, very kind person who hosted us amazingly. He always asked what kind of croissants we want for breakfast, they were always freshly baked and super tasty. The day of our departure he accompanied us to the nearest bus station to the airport and gave us a pack of local sweets to bring to our family as a gift. He made our trip even better!

The host Giuseppe is super nice and helpful. He delivers the tasty breakfast to my room every morning in person. He can do his best effort to communicate to you by google translator. I felt impressive that he arranged taxi to airport for me after midnight in order to catch the early morning flight. I will recommend his b&b.

SpainI was very happy during my stay
The accomodation is central, was clean and tidy. The host was very kind. He offered a bottle of cold water when I arrived as in Catania was hot when I arrived. The room was quite spacious and bed comfortable. Toilet was clean and spacious too. All worked well. He explained me about details how to get to areas and visit. Host enjoys receiving people. I never experienced much hospitality. I appreciate the gesture. In the morning, Intend to wake up quite early to explore the area as much as I can. He even offered to adapt to my early time to have my breakfast. Pistacchio croissant, quite popular in Sicily, which was very nice. I highly recommend to everyone who wants to visit Catania to stay.

GermanyThe host is very nice and helpful. He gave us recommendations where to go and to eat. The room was quiet and clean. the air conditioner was working perfectly. In the morning we received the topical Catanian breakfast (with croissants fresh from the backery). He help us to arrange transportation to the airport as is was our last day in Sicilia. The building is located close to the historical center and to the port, so you can get there by foot. The streets around look a little bit sordid due to some abandoned buildings but it is characteristically from this part of the city. We have a nice time there and by Giuseppes B&B.
