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...).

CanadaWe had a great stay at this boutique hotel in the heart of Ortigia. The location was perfect to see all the island has to offer in a short period of time. The staff were exceptional and the room was clean and spacious.

BulgariaFor us everything was perfect, but we didn't have suitcases or any big luggage, only carry on backpacks so it was easy to go up and down the stairs, but for people with heavy luggage it will be a bit of a challenge.
We very much enjoyed our stay and want to specifically thank Emanuela at Reception who was so polite and welcoming and of great assistance which definitely made out stay much more comfortable and pleasant. The reception is reachable via WhatsApp all the time, which was very helpful. We booked a family room with a double bed and a bunk bed as we had our kids aged 5 and 10 with us. They loved the bunk bed and our bed and pillows were also very comfy. There was complimentary water in the room, which was very nice. Very clean overall and plenty of towels as well in the bathroom, as well as some toiletries. The location was perfect, right in the middle of the old town, so all the main attractions are within few minutes walk, yet the place is in a quite street so not noisy at all. We also think the room rate was a very good value for money. The place offers valet parking for €25 which was very useful as they pick up the car right in front of the apartments and return it whenever you want the next day. We were also allowed to pick up the luggage later in the day so we can enjoy as much as we like before we leave town.

The hotel is quiet during the night however when guests arrived after their dinner you could not sleep as they could be heard completely. All in all, just a remark and not a big issue.
A very well positioned hotel with all amenities in the room. Perfect for going out for dinner in Ortigia as more-or-less everything is very near-by. Wonderful staff that helped us out with information and handling with the parking valet for us. Thank you Emmanuela.

United KingdomI was very concerned about the car valet service. Our hire car was returned on day of departure showing signs of unauthorised use. 45 km was added to the mileage The front offside door was covered in mud The rear seats had been folded down without reason. I informed the hotel that we couldn't recommend that customers in future should use the valet parking service offered by the hotel. I hope they have changed suppliers of this service which spoilt the overall experience. I accept the problem was not the direct fault of the hotel
Conveniently positioned. Very clean and comfortable. Rooms very well equipped

United StatesThis is not a hotel with 24/7 staffing. There is self-access to the facility when staff is not present. This is not a major drawback, but does require some advance planning for consultation and coordination with the staff.
Nicely maintained facility in a very convenient central location with attentive, friendly, helpful, and capable staff. We were traveling with friends, and had two apartments that opened onto a small, private courtyard. Custom-ordered breakfast was delivered to the room every morning, and as the weather was pleasant, we were able to have it in the courtyard. Our first floor room was very quiet. Small, boutique operation with comfortable and relaxing ambiance. Staff can arrange restaurant reservations and book some tours. There is occasional motor scooter passing front, but the facility is not on a busy street. Staff speaks and understands English.

United KingdomIt is a shame there is no out door space and there isn't a lift. ````the coffee machine was hard to work (but then we find that in every hotel so perhaps its us!)
A lovely small hotel in an excellent location down a side street very near to some good restaurants & the excellent Dada cafe and a 5 minute walk to the Dumo square and the heart of the Old Town. Comfortable, large room but what made this special was the super helpful & friendly reception staff -particularly Lia, who from the moment we booked to the moment we left, helped us, with bags, booking taxis, suggesting restaurants and trips.
