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 KingdomThe host was such a nice guy! We had a late arrival so we didn't meet with him, however we chatted through what's app and he take such good care of us. The apartment was clean, it had everything you may need and more. The location was perfect! In the middle of the Catania's centre, the opera square is a hidden gem with drastically less tourists and the apartment was located there! I will miss the mornings with perfect sunshine on the terrace with amazing views. I recommend to all!

United StatesRoom itself was on the smaller side, not ideal for longer stays. The B&B does have a common room down the hall though which might help.
Great location, very walkable and the piazza view from the balcony was nice. Bathroom was newly renovated. Elevator access is a plus for luggage. Good choice for a short stay downtown.

RomaniaVery good location, in the heart of the city. The room is clean and well maintained. The owner is very friendly, helps you with any information you need, recommends restaurants with traditional food. He even offered us a bottle of wine on the last evening, just great to enjoy on the balcony overlooking the square. A very enjoyable stay!

Czech RepublicWe loved our stay there. Alberto is super friendly and extremely helpful (you can write him 24/7 and he always answers). You can see that he deeply cares about his visitors. We recieved two bottles of wine from him as a gift which we enjoyed in common room playing chess. We would love to come back sometimes. <3 It was exceptional.

United KingdomEverything was fine.
We were given a voucher to have a continental breakfast in a coffee bar on the square. The coffee was wonderful. Proper espresso. The croissants were really fresh. The square was beautiful and our room had a balcony overlooking it. It was not far to walk to the Cathedral and excellent restaurants. Alberto was there to meet us and was very helpful. He arranged a taxi for us.

United Arab EmiratesIf you’re in need of a cup of tea or glass of wine, and of sitting on a balcony, overlooking a historic piazza and opera house while pondering a blue sky, regardless the season, then this is your place. Don’t think twice. Alberto is sure to provide a warm Sicilian welcome and all the restaurant tips you might need. Breakfast is served across the piazza, the side that receives the morning sun. Rooms are modern, bright and fresh, and basic in a European sense. Everything you require without the bling-bling. Location? I doubt it gets any better than this. You’d be forgiven if you extended your stay by 2-3 weeks, or more 🙃

Located on a beautiful square. Breakfast is offered at Cafe Opera, a cafe just on the other side of the square. A cup of coffee and a croissant that suited us very well in the morning. We stayed at Sovrando over Christmas. Alberto the owner was always there, very friendly and did all he could to make our stay as nice as possible. Even offered us red wine and sparkling wine waiting for us in the room. Overall a hotel that is very easy to recommend. Also nice to watch the surroundings from the balcony. Lots of restaurants nearby, clean, quiet and great location

United StatesThere was nothing we did not like. B&B Il Sovrano exceeded our expectations, and we would return anytime we are near Catania.
B&B Il Sovrano is a delight. Located in an historic building on Piazza Vincenzo Bellini, it is a charming and quiet oasis. With balconies overlooking the square, and immaculate and comfortable rooms, we highly recommend B&B Il Sovrano. Alberto, our host, greeted us at the door, answered all our questions, made dinner recommendations, and arranged our taxi to return to the airport. Our stay, and our host, were wonderful.

IsraelThe breakfast was in a cafe across from the B & B. It was a coffee and a sweet pastry.
The best part of the hotel was the balcony with an outstanding view. We sat there every day. The bed was perfect for us. really comfortable. The room was spotlessly clean and made up every day. The smell was very nice. The room wasn't so big but it had everything we needed. Alberto did all that he could to make our stay as nice as possible. It's the extras that make it special (complimentary water bottles daily and a bottle of wine to drink on the balcony...)
