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...).

IrelandThe lobby is on the 2nd floor. The hotel didn't have a bar but neither of these bothered us.
The location is very central for sightseeing, dining and shopping. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The rooms were clean and comfortable..The continental breakfast was very good with plenty of variety. Your business was appreciated and you were made very welcome by a young staff. You can get an airport shuttle bus to Politeama and walk a short distance to the hotel which is €10 return. We got a shared taxi from the airport for €8 per person to Palermo which dropped us 2 minutes from the hotel.The taxi will wait until it is full which may be 10 to 15 minutes. You can also book a taxi for €50 but agree the price first.

We chose a superior room as we were staying 10 days. It was spacious, immaculately clean with plenty storage space. Breakfast was plentiful. The staff were absolutely lovely, very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is just round the corner from a huge choice of restaurants and all the sights are within easy walking distance. The airport bus is five minutes away

United KingdomThe hotel's breakfast options were not to our liking...that's not to say others wouldn't like them...but not for the diabetics among us that's for sure with so many 'traditional' breakfast items in Sicily being so sweet.
Clean, tidy and very central. The whole experience was less of a holiday feel and more like a city break and I think this hotel reflected that. More of a base of operations than a place to chill...but a very decent choice at a good price so we were not disappointed. The tea room next to the Hotel Ariston across the road did the best cheese and tomato sandwich we've ever had...they don't speak English much and the chef reminded us of Marco from Everybody Loves Raymond (which was funny)...but it is as authentic/local as you'll find.

United KingdomBeing close to the busy road but it is a very busy city and an old city and hotel supplied ear plugs which were very useful
It was a very convenient location. Staff were fantastic. There was really nothing you could fault with the hotel besides being on a busy road but it’s an old city and it was situated was very central to the city centre for exploring. A lot of hotels were probably in the same situation unless you went out to the surrounding areas.

United KingdomNothing. It was excellent.
Very warm welcome. The parking didn’t look easy so we opted for the valet parking, this was quick and easy. Great information was given to us both verbally and written. The receptionist was very helpful and made us immediately comfortable. All the staff were lovely, at breakfast; all helpful and attentive. The breakfast was great, lots of options, great cakes/pastries, cereal, toast, fruit, etc. The property was in a good location for sightseeing and the receptionist gave us a map and information on where to go, what to see and how long it would take as we were limited with time. The room was fine with a fridge with complimentary soft drinks which were much needed.

ItalyWhile my stay at the ALMA Hotel in Palermo had many positive aspects, there were a few drawbacks to note. Firstly, our room was located on the 6th floor, and given that there are other B&Bs in the building, the elevator was often quite busy, leading to frustrating waits of more than 5 minutes at times. Additionally, we encountered a minor issue with ants in the bathroom, although the cleaning staff promptly addressed the problem. Finally, while the breakfast offered was satisfying for a day or two, it became repetitive and somewhat boring as the menu remained fixed for longer stays. These are areas where the hotel could make some improvements to enhance the overall guest experience.
My stay at the ALMA Hotel in Palermo was exceptional. The young, dynamic, and incredibly helpful staff, especially Noemi, made check-in a breeze. The hotel's central location provided easy access to historic sites, and despite a room facing the street, closing the balcony door blocked out any noise. The meticulous cleaning staff and their polite service were also noteworthy. I highly recommend the ALMA Hotel for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Palermo; it exceeded my expectations in every way.

GermanyThe space for our belongings in the bedroom wasn't particularly practical: some hooks for jackets and shelves wouldbe nice. The sink seemed to be somewhat clogged and a paper tissue dispenser kept breaking and falling down. Also the water in the shower is kinda slow warming up and reacting to temperature setting change.
Very friendly and helpful staff (though sometimes it felt a bit weird when there were more staff members during breakfast than guests), the room was very clean and quite comfortable. There is a small kitchenette and a dining area, as well as a tiny balcony, very cozy and nice place to stay at. The bathroom was well equipped, with plenty of toiletries provided, as well as some earplugs and slippers. Despite a central location we can't complain of any excessive outside noise. The staff was very accomodating with late check-in and we could leave our luggage after checking out. The breakfast was also pretty nice, I loved having cannoli every morning.

AustraliaOur room was very comfortable with everything that we needed, especially a comfortable bed and we liked the balcony. The staff were so lovely, helpful and friendly. Breakfast was plentiful and varied, most enjoyable. The location was fantastic, easy to get to most central sights, including the three main markets in Palermo. The staff organised a taxi for us to get to the central railway station. Everything at the hotel was accessible by lift. We will return to Sicily and Palermo and will choose Alma Hotel next time.

AustraliaFrom the moment we arrived until we left, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located within a beautiful building where a lift takes you to reception on the third floor. Our room was on the sixth floor. We were very happy with our room. Breakfast (included in our price) was everything that we needed with a great variety of choice. We liked the location close to Teatro Massimo and the main road leading to many other sights. The hotel accommodated our hire car with valet parking.
