Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Bathroom was clean as well, but there was a hole in the ceiling right above the toilet so that was a bit uncomfortable.
The room was clean and spacious! The ceilings are really beautiful, its unusual to see a hotel where the emphasis is put on the ceilings so that's interesting! Staff is polite. Breakfast was diverse enough. Close to Via Etnea and Villa Bellini.

the room was pretty sad with all the cold light bulbs and the toilet that ran. I asked to fix it and they said they would do it tomorrow (I only stayed 1 night!).
the hotel is right in the center of the city, 2 steps away from everything. It has an entrance on the 2nd floor with a lift and is quite clean even if a little dated

I was absolutely blown away by how beautiful this hotel is; the paintings on the ceiling were like in a museum! The antique historic accommodations made me feel like I was transported back in time. My room was so beautiful and spacious with a gorgeous street view. The staff was also extremely helpful and lovely. I would love to come back and stay here again!

I felt like in living in a boarding school having to leave the keys at the reception all the time, being yelled at to come at the reception first and not to go to my room even though there was someone in the room. The hotel is located at the first floor in a building where others live too. The room was medium size with a very high ceiling. Hard flat cheap pillow, just one, hard to sleep on it. The bed was small and had a hard mattress that I have found uncomfortable to sleep on. Everything was at minimum level, food included. Breakfast implied eating from cheap plastic plates the same basic food (no vegetables) for several days wasn't a pleasant at all. I wouldn't return there again.
Location Clean place Lovely building that have definitely seen better days. AC

One of those cr*py places you don’t want to find yourself sleeping in. However, if it’s just for one night and you’re on a budget — you’ll survive. Be prepared for a “decaying building” entourage and an extra-old spring mattress.
Could not identify anything that would be worth a positive comment.

The rooms are too small, and it has really old furniture, the door was not closed. The staff doesn’t speak English, so it’s hard to communicate with them. I had to use google translate, and than WiFi connection was too poor, and it wasn’t used at the room. Furthermore the breakfast was too bad, just croissant, Nutella , and fruit!!! I ever never prefer to stay there
