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...).

ItalyIt was very noisy, people were having a party and talking so loud I could not basically sleep for 2 nights! Also as my room was close to the reception, I could hear phone calling and people talking loudly. Noise also was coming from outside. The WC did not properly work, I had to push the button 3 times making a lot of effort to make it flush.
Very friendly and helpful staff, big room, clean. Central location. Breakfast is included.

United KingdomDark room with a single bed - yes, it was advertised, but it did feel like it was a makeshift room. Again, clean overall and nothing to complain about!
Fantastic location in the center, very nice and helpful staff. The room was very good value for the price, albeit small and dark - which is fine as I didn't spend too much time in it. Very clean bathroom with good water pressure.

CroatiaThe air-conditioning noise coming from the outside during the night. Also, mosquitos and no available repellents in the room.
I liked the location which is 30 meters away from the Via Etnea bus station and the bus that goes directly to the Fontanarossa Airport. Room is fair and the staff is really helpful.

GreeceThe location was excellent! The breakfast was very poor, however the croissant they were offering the moment you’d sit down was amazing! The general facilities of the hotel were very old and need to be updated - but this you can tell from the photos as well. Unfortunately the balcony we had was public so anybody could access it, which wasn’t an issue in terms of not being able to enjoy the balcony area, rather that we felt a bit unsafe since our balcony door was accesible to basically anyone(staying at the property). Overall if you’re looking at a budget friendly - excellently located hotel in Catania, please see the photos and book consciously. What you see is what you get!

MaltaThe hotel is a little tired and outdated. Small adjustments would make it more contemporary, like the breakfast area that could be rearranged in terms of furniture and layout (random pieces of furniture and old TV could be removed to make the space airy and more welcoming). If I had to name one ‘bad’ thing during the stay, it would be horribly uncomfortable pillows. You are better off using your own traveling pillow, if you want to avoid headaches.
Property is in a fine location. great for shopping, dining and sightseeing. It is in a pedestrian zone so the traffic is minimal, yet bus stops are available round the corner, incl. Alibus to airport. Best thing about our room was the balcony overlooking the pedestrian zone on Via Etnea with a breathtaking view to Etna! Although room facilities remember better days and equipment was little tried, the cleanliness was at high level. Spotless white towels changed every day and clean bed sheet make one feel comfortable.
