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...).

PolandIt is not possible to park your car near the hotel, the area is reserved for residents only. However, there is a private parking lot nearby.
The hotel is well located, close to the sea and center of Ortiga. I definitely recommend rooms with a sea view. Good breakfasts and nice service.

Basic breakfast, very good location to explore Ortigia, and close enough to walk to the archeological sites in Siracusa.

United States of AmericaI wish the hotel kept some change on hand. They did not have the ability to make change to a 10€ bill, let alone a 20€. Given that the bank machines primarily issue 50€ bills and maybe 20€, I would have expected some minimum change at a hotel of this caliber.
The daytime staff was especially good. They had excellent recommendations on tourist sites. Breakfast was plentiful and with many choices —yogurt, pastries, bread, eggs, cheese. The restaurant has an excellent chef! He is very creative and uses Sicilian ingredients in unexpected ways.

United KingdomIt's only just mid-March and so their own restaurant was closed; I'd have liked to have known that in advance.
This is a lovely, stylish and good value hotel with attentive staff. They bent over backwards to help us find a trip to Etna and they were unfailingly helpful.

United KingdomBathrooms are getting a bit tired (broken & leaky fixtures). When we told reception that there was a problem with the ‘hot’ water (running yellow and cold), the initial reaction was that’s how water is in Ortigia. It was only the next day at breakfast that they were profusely apologetic for this fault (when there was no hot water for anyone in the building).
Good location. Nice spacious room.

SwitzerlandCouldn't find anything really bad. Maybe the doors to the rooms could use a few noise-insulating strips. But nothing really tragic.
Super friendly and helpful staff, brilliant sunrise-view from the room, good noise-blocking windows (although not much noise is coming from the small road outside), brilliant location to discover wonderful Ortigia.

AustraliaUnfortunately I didn't have the same room as the previous evening - although it was cool, spacious and beautifully decorated - there was a slight sewage smell from the bathroom and the toilet seat was a bit broken.
The roof top bar and the interior design features - and most of the staff are wonderful. The room was so quiet and cool - perfect in the hot weather. Large air-conditioned common areas and late check out.
