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...).

ItalyI would have preferred to pay for breakfast and have more options to choose from, it's a personal opinion
1. The staff is always very willing to give their best, polite and friendly. 2. The structure is new with a minimalist decorative line, everything is very clean, tidy, the beds are of excellent quality and comfortable, sheets are of high quality and good, the air conditioning is excellent,a smoking terrace and a bar where you can drink and eat, there is no kitchen available for guests because the concept is different let's say it's a boutique hotel with some rooms to share. 3. A dinner prepared by Chef Pepe is served, a form of group cooking where guests participate. The price is reasonable with high quality food as is breakfast. 4.The location is perfect surrounded by multiple shops, bars, restaurants. 5. Whatever the price, it is worth staying there.

New hostel with good italian breakfast. This hostel is in old town of Palermo, good strategic location. Funny room with 2 AC/heater. Helpful and friendly receptionist. The place is really good for solo travellers, price is not high. I really recommend this hostel.

NetherlandsThe feedback here is so they can improve cause I think they are doing great but a little extra can make this place top-notch. 1. The top bunk beds have no protective barrier and the stairs are kinda difficult to climb. One night several people were snorting and a rude guest decided to shake all the beds to make them stop and sprayed water. The hostel cannot do much about the guest, but I couldn’t sleep anymore and was scared to fall of the bed for the rest of the stay. I ended up paying a private room. 2. The men shower facilities were overflowing all the time during my stay. I think it requires only a simple fix to prevent this from happening, you just need to be a bit handy to make proper barriers. 3. Electronic light switches, they might seem great to save energy but if not set well, you end up having to wave regularly when sitting on the toilet or put your hand outside the curtain when showering. Otherwise you are suddenly in the dark. I really hope these points are taken to heart cause the people were lovely and I want the best for them and their hostel.
They had great breakfast, the staff was very helpful and nice, the place looks good as well and WiFi is good. What stood out most for me is the staff: I had a medical emergency and even after calling the ambulance they helped me and made sure I was ok.

The location is excellent to all the main attraction. The beds are very comfortable. Small reading light and plugs for charging.etc. Aircon worked well. Spacious room with table and chairs to sit at in room. All nice!

Great hostel, super well located in the center of Palerme. Nice, welcoming and flexible host. Shared but very clean bathroom. Modern rooms. Possibility to take a full breakfast or to bring your own breakfast. Little terrace with babyfoot game, the kids were delighted. We highly recommended this place !

GermanyThe floor between the showers has no drain, so water tends to pool there after "rush-hour" or even if just one person is not careful.
The staff were friendly and helpful, the ambience was nice and there was enough space to hang out outside of the dorm.
