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...).

Celso and Victoria were so very accommodating and happy to assist. The history of the building you could feel in the exposed stones, and its location is very walkable. Celso's breakfasts were amazing!

GermanyThere's literally nothing bad to say about Bastiò Private Suites.
We are still quite overwhelmed and excited over the outstanding overall experience of staying at the Bastiò Private Suites. Right after booking the communciation was on a perfect level. I've asked for some extra favors as it was my partner's birthday. Not only did the manager and his team simply consider my requests, they made it personal and special, they took their time to make this a very spceial stay fro my partner and I. Without asking, and I honestly didn't even consider to ask as we've booked a beautiful suite and were already happy, but th eManager surprised us with an upgrade to a spectacular suite. The overall building was beautiful, the Suites are located in such a great area in Catania, so close to the most beautiful churches, the nicest restaurants and a fish market, while still being located quiet with a nice few on a park. Also the windows are 100% noise proof, it was just perfect. The restaurant is beautiful, the menu looked amazing, but we already had other restaurants booked. We can't wait tho to eat there on our next trip to Catania. We will be back at Bastiò Private Suites for sure, hopefully sooner than later.

AustraliaThe only little thing that made us uncomfortable was that the toilet could be seen from the bedroom unless the huge sliding glass door was closed and no light was used.
This hotel was absolutely amazing, we saw the pictures online first but the reality was so much better. The room was stunning, with original brick wall feature and a cute little patio area. The bed was really comfortable and everything was utterly spotless. The staff were great, very welcoming and helpful, even down to providing a vegan breakfast in the morning. Highly recommend this hotel.

United KingdomWe were made to feel so very welcome by the owners and all the staff and it almost feels like you are part of their family. The rooms were so spacious and every detail thought of, including a tv in the lounge area and one also across from the bed. The breakfast was excellent quality and the staff could not do any more for you. Our flight was expectantly cancelled and the owner did everything he could to help us.

United KingdomNothing.
From the moment we walked in, we were treated amazingly well by the whole team. The staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was excellent and it exceeded our expectations. I went to Sicily for mum's birthday and the staff even provided a cake and a bottle of prossecco. I dont think the location could be any better! Its a 45 secs walk to the main restaurants and bars. The rooms were huge, shower was great, TV was huge.... everything was perfect. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Catania.

United StatesAn excellent stay in a historic building, complete with an archway of lava rock from Etna in the room. Celso and the team were so accommodating and welcoming. The room was in the center of the city, yet off the beaten path enough to be private and quiet, in the middle of bustling Catania. Breakfast was delicious, as is the restaurant downstairs. An excellent start to a long trip on the road in Sicily.

IsraelNone.
It was a pleasure staying at Catania at the BASTIÒ PRIVATE SUITES! We enjoyed the central location, which provided us with convenience for exploring the city. The remarkable owner, Celso, was an absolute treasure, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. He truly made our stay memorable, from providing us with a map and restaurant recommendations to assisting us with luggage and initiating an early check-in option. By 12:00, we had already settled into our amazing, spacious suite. The place was impeccably clean, and we also enjoyed a late check-out. Parking our car right in front of the hotel was incredibly convenient. Even though it was centrally located, the room provided a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle. Additionally, Celso went above and beyond by assisting us with shipping a package back home. Without a doubt, we wholeheartedly recommend this suite hotel to everyone visiting Catania.
