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...).

RomaniaThe accomodation has a shared area with other guests not an entire property even though we booked 5 rooms. We checked out early in the morning and someone came into our room telling us stuff and being annoying.
We forgot something at the location and the host was nice to help us get it back very quickley.

SerbiaThe room doesn't have any windows. It only has a main door, which can be opened both as a window and a door so it is not very bright.
The property is in the center of the city, with just minutes on foot to the Duomo. Its location makes it easier to go out in the evening and relax. It is very spacious and clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. It has a large private parking, closed by gate, and it costs 10 euros per day, but it is worth considering that you are in the center of the city and that surrounding streets are very very thight.

BelarusThe neighborhood seems to be dangerous with the first impression ( mainly because of the small quite street where building located ) , but it completely safe , and people living nearby are kind and friendly
Mafalda and Chiara made our stay truly feel like home. Chiara expertly handled our booking and organized everything, while Mafalda ensured the space was always spotlessly clean and pleasantly fragrant. Their care and attention to detail were exceptional. They went above and beyond, offering invaluable advice and assisting us during several emergencies (with our car, room key, and other unexpected issues). Even when they weren’t obligated to help, they treated us not just as guests, but as friends. If you're looking for a place where you’ll feel like part of the Sicilian community rather than just a tourist, I highly recommend staying here. And despite being in the city center, the place is wonderfully quiet at night. :)

We liked the friendliness of the staff, the location very close to the historical city center. And the room itself with personal entrance from the street.

very very lovely hosts , always available in case of questions. for being very central in the city (also close to main bus area for further travels) he room is not noisy at all. parking lot option inside is very safe for rental car but also an adventure through those narrow streets ( but its a sicily thing anyway ;) the apartment was super spacious and well furnished.

ArmeniaAs I get it, Catania community has unstable electricity and water provision. For the second day we didn't have water, for the next day both water and electricity, but this isn't something depending on the property. Just know if you depend on the wifi to work or be all the time in the apartment, you might consider booking a hotel with backup plans. Also, it would be nice to have iron and floor cleaning tools so we could clean our room.
First of all the welcoming lady was really nice, we left our luggage until the evening to pick up and that's really worth appreciating. The location is literally 3 mins to the famous fish market and to center. When we arrived everything was really clean. Also, the good thing was the apartment building had a private gate so we felt really secure.

ItalyThey don't provide room cleaning services at all during 5 days of stay which is acceptable to some extent but the main problem is we don't have any floor cleaning in the room as well.
The location was perfect and the rooms were very good and comfortable. Also, the house owner and their staff is very polite and cooperative.

FinlandAir-conditioner was working loudly I could not sleep well, if you are sensitive for this kind of voice it could disturb you.
Location was very well, but you should use the way that passes through the IN restaurant. Via di bella street doesn't make me feel safe but from IN restaurant side was better. Good price for the room, hotel was safe and washing machine was useful for us. Place is near to bus station, you can easily get the bus for beach and other cities. There were cold waters in the refrigerator it was so nice.
