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 StatesThe room is tiny. It only has the space for a bed , two night stands and a closet. The private bathroom is not attached to the bedroom. It is in the another end of hallway. I was confused while I was booking regarding private bathroom vs attached bathroom. Now I know the private bathroom is not attached. This B&B doesn’t offer cookware but only dinnerware. So without pots and other kitchenware, you can’t cook.
The location is excellent. The staff responses super fast and the instruction is clear. The hot water is hot enough and water pressure is good. The room is clean.

ItalyI was in the room P. In my opinion a little too small to fit a double bed. There was no chair or table. Basically, there was room for the bed only. I would make it single and use the spare space for a chair and a little table.
In the very center of Catania and the apartment is quiet.

Best possible location near the center of the city. Good restaurants near and access to many touristic attractions. Totally recommend it for short vacation. The host was very nice and informed us about everything we needed for self checking. He also wa available even late at night.

In addition, as for the breakfast included in the price, the owner cooperates with one of the local cafes located 2min walk from the hotel, you can have a typical delicious Italian sweet breakfast there. Of other pros, the room was cleaned daily.

NetherlandsThere was no coffee machine or tea maker. There were some mugs in the shared facilities but most of cupboards were locked. The bathroom/toilets are a bit old. The toilet seat was loose and the shower is not really comfy. There is no host present at this B&B, it is very impersonal. For breakfast you can go to a coffee place to get one free drink and one croissant. Nothing more and nothing special/fancy.
The location is fantastic, close to the dome. The host is very responsive via whatsapp contact. There is a clear instruction on how to get to your room and a late (self) checkin is possible.

GeorgiaIn our bathroom there was a small problem with water drainage but it's managable.
Upon our arrival in Catania, we faced a big problem with privious hotel and my initial booking was canceled because by mistake our room was booked for others. So, while left on the street, I searched for other options and came accross B&B Univerisa (lucky us!) Andrea responded instantly and in general, everything was booked in couple of minutes. We recieved very detailed information regarding check-in/out and all other rules. Location is ideal. Room is clean and nice, not noiseproof but it wasn't a big deal. Actually, we only slept there, all other time we were out exploring Sicily. As for breakfast, croissant with pistachio cream became my all time favorite 🫠 You don't need full breakfast in Sicily, there are so much to try and prices are very affordable. In a word, it was amazing trip for me and my friend. 🫰

Czech RepublicI wasn't too excited about the breakfast, on the other hand, accommodation like that is often without any breakfast or just providing these funny packed crumpled croissants that last several years... so compared to that this was a fabulous fresh pastry and probably a great coffee (but I don't drink coffee, so we only ordered whipped milk and poured it into our black tea at the apartment).
Very nice large room, nice bathroom, very comfortable beds. We planned on staying one night but stayed 3 instead. We received a detailed video and pics for self-check-in, everything worked out well, and the host was available on the phone/WhatsUp anytime and solved any problem or questions we might have. The breakfast was at a nice closeby cafe, a croissant with a coffee/hot chocolate... I prefer cheese and ham for breakfast so the next two mornings we just picked up our croissants and beverages, brought them home, and made a bigger breakfast in the kitchen together with our food. There are dishes available, a tea set, and anything you might need. The location is great, very quiet, but so close to the center. Also a parking nearby where we always found a parking spot. Very satisfied. Would happily stay there again. Thank you!

United StatesHost could have prepared dropoff and parking info for distribution after unit was booked. Parking and driving are mostly prohibited 🚫 almost anywhere nearby. If you know how, you can get there for bag drop, without fighting too much. It will involve very narrow one-way streets, avoiding streets you are prohibited from driving on (pedestrian only) and then making it to allowed street parking or pay lot. That would help eliminate the major downside to those who are touring Sicily with a car.

SloveniaThe main thing we were a bit disappointed about was the breakfast that was mainly sweet and not very varied. The croissants and pastries were not bakery grade but stuff bought at the supermarket. There was also some cheese and salami. The owner did offer to provide anything we might want but we didn't really ask him for anything, so it might be possible to get other food as well ... Maybe a bit pricey for what you get.
Great location, everything was very clean, the owner was very nice and helpful (we didn't meet in person, but he explained everything on whatsapp and was available at all times). Our room and our bathroom were as described.
