Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesWe had such a lovely stay at B&B Vivere Palermo! This property really checked all of the boxes for us – very centrally located, private bathroom, and a private balcony. The morning breakfast on the balcony really helped make the trip so special and included fresh croissants from a local bakery. The host, Claudio, was very kind, helpful, & had great recommendations for local restaurants. Highly recommend!

United KingdomNothing!
Second visit to B&B Vivere Palermo. Location is excellent, we had 2 lovely rooms - very clean, both with balconies - overlooking a busy street with lots of bars & restaurants. However, the rooms are on the 5th floor so no noise disturbance at all. There is a lift so 5th floor is not an issue. Breakfast was lovely & delivered to our room so we could eat on the balcony whilst enjoying the morning sunshine. Claudio was very friendly & helpful - and he arranged convenient parking 7-8 minutes walk away (chargeable). We enjoyed our stay & wouldn't stay anywhere else when visiting Palermo!

MaltaCould do with a kettle in the room. One was available in the office, but inaccessible from my room (standard room).
Breakfast was excellent. Served in the room/terrace. Location cannot be better right in a pedestrian zone in the historical centre. Obviously, forget getting there by car; I parked my car in an underground car park (Orlando - EUR13/day) and walked 15 mins to the B&B. Didn't need the car for 3 days as all sites are easily accessible on foot.

HungaryThe single beds are way too narrow, like camping bunkbeds for kids. We were afraid to turn on them, for fear of falling down. The very central location means noise at night, so if you are sensitive to that, bring earbuds. This is not a negative really, it comes from the location, so prepare for it.
The location is perfect, right in the centre, the view from the terrace is fantastic. The shower is great. The windows insulate well , there was heating in the room, which we needed. There is an aircon and ventillator, must be essential in the summer. The host, Claudio, is very kind and flexible. He forgot I asked for separate beds with my friend and I, but arranged them for the next day.
