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...).

MaltaThe restaurant and bar were closed, it would have been nice to have had a drink on the roof terrace which was also closed some of the time. The well-being centre is being re-furnished, so there was nothing in the hotel to remain and relax, you had to go out. The shower was complicated and it was difficult to turn the knobs to take advantage of the jacuzzi system.
Perfect location for a beautiful view and just out of the centre so less noisy and crowded, yet everything within easy reach. Breakfast was ample and fresh, with a variety of savouries and sweets. Staff friendly and accommodating. Room a nice size, comfortable large bed. We had a good sea view,

United KingdomThe hotel's restaurant was not available for dinners. The shower head in our bedroom was broken and you couldn't stand under it - but I think that will be fixed by the time folk read this review.
The staff (at Reception and in the dining room) were professional and friendly. The hotel was located near a stop for the Siracusa Hop-on-Hop-off bus and that was a real plus point.

The hotel is located right on the water, with a 5 minute flat walk to the swimming platform and divine turquoise clear water. It is charming, a little old fashioned but I love the vibe. It is a short walk to all the restaurants and Baroque squares. Very convenient

United States of AmericaAlthough the room in front had a nice Seaview, it was very small and cramped, and the larger room had some maintenance issues such as the front window could not be opened and the were splinters on the hardwood floor near the bathroom which could be harmful with bare feet - these items should have been addressed in between guests! And we had specifically asked to be on the top floor, but it could not be arranged.
Front desk staff was accommodating and helpful Location was ideal for visiting the town and walking to dinner, shopping Breakfast was pretty good

We checked out early (06:00) and the credit card system was not working and we had to write our cc number on the reservation to be processed later.

The hotel took us by surprise, Francesca and her colleagues were unbelievably helpful, nothing was a problem, the girl herself is a Trojan. The hotel is the best placed hotel in Siracusa, we looked down at the best swimming spot there is. I would come back for the hotel and where is it, but the staff, best ever! Thank you
