Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

GermanyWifi was intermittently weak.
Overnight stay while visiting Catania. Very beautiful and spacious B & B with very accommodating owner. Good communication via WhatsApp. Located right near the bus terminal (2 min walk) and very short walk to Catania cathedral and all the touristic attractions. The area right outside the building feels hectic/sketchy but still felt safe. Outside building does not reflect beautiful interior. Convenient small shops nearby. Very tasty free breakfast. Very clean and spacious interior with access to their kitchen for coffee, etc. Friendly owner. Left our luggage for a few hours after checking out with no problem. Bus (Ali bus) stop to airport is 2 min walk and drops you off at the terminal for 4 euros. Would highly recommend this B & B.

SlovakiaThe walls were super thin, you could hear everything from the kitchen and from the corridor, there was only one shared blanket on the bed. Thebreakfast were poor. Also the host doesn´t speak english very well (and older lady - maybe mother of the host - doesn´t speak any english). Catania is very dirty city, which (of course) is not accomodation´s fault
nice and spacious room, comfortable bed, big bathroom with hottub and 2 sinks. Good location of the accomodation - approx. 7 min (by walk) to the historical city center, with many shops and restaurants.

Really good location to stay if you need to get to the airport. Really small walk to the bus station. Also great location to go to discover Catania. Just be aware of stairs and maybe it isn't easiest to find the right door.

SloveniaThe location of the air conditioning was bothersome, since it was directed on the bed and cold air was blowing directly on us while sleeping. also when we tried to start the bathtub, and the massage valves, some dirt came out of them. So we had to run it first for it to get cleaned out and then use it.
The room was nice and spacious. The personnel was really nice and ready to help if needed. Breakfast was also pleasant. The location is perfect, near the city center and the bus station.

it was a great location being a short walk to the city. It is a gorgeous building, our room was big with a balcony and the staff very helpful. In the morning we were greeted with a lovely home made continental breakfast. A highlight of our trip was staying here and walking through Catania on a Saturday night.

United States of AmericaAs is true of many parts of Sicily, garbage collection does not keep up with its production. That detracts from the overall experience, but is miniscule in comparison with the overall Sicilian ambience.
Beautiful old building with well-maintained rooms. We were leaving for the airport at 0530, so missed breakfast. The young man at reception arranged for a driver to take us to the airport, as well as having coffee ready. The neighborhood looks a little seedy, but, inside the gates, all is well. Also, it is a short walk to the duomo, piazzas and university, as wel as the extensive food market

IsraelThe property is situated above a garage in not a safe neighbourhood. We arrived late and had to do our own entry and check in using the instruction sent to us . It was a very stressing experience trying to find our way in the dark, open the grill door to a garage, park the car in the midst of the cars in the garage lot , find the right entrance to the B & B and haul the luggage up the stairs.
The room is in a renovated apartment in an old building. Very spacious room and bathroom with beautiful classical decoration and chandelier. Very central location .

NetherlandsThere was nothing that I didn't like. The only comment that I have is that it's quite difficult to find the entrance. It is behind a steel gate to an area that houses a garage business. It would be helpfull if there was a more visable sign showing the way to the entrance.
Lovely location right in the centre of the city, 100 meters from the bus station and McDonald's. We had a nice large room. Very friendly staff and a good breakfast.

MaltaThere was a certain amount of noise in our bedroom during the night emanating possibly from the water system. Fortunately, it did not affect our sleep too much. The other issue cannot be resolved; access through steep stairs. However, this could be pointed out in the advertising material.
