How guest reviews work
Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewGiulia and her father are two amazing hosts. They know the territory very well and can give excellent recommendations. Always ready to help you when you need and let you try local food in their beautiful garden. Thank you again!
The pillows were a bit hard but we had 4 in the room and could change them for softer ones.

Verified reviewWe booked this last minute without much thought, but from the moment we arrived, we knew we’d made the right choice. Giulia greeted us so warmly and was immediately helpful in every way. Our room was perfect, with a charming little balcony overlooking the family garden, such a peaceful view. We felt instantly at home. And then came breakfast the next morning... My god. We were welcomed by Giorgio, Giulia’s father, who brought out trays of fresh, beautiful food, tomatoes picked straight from the garden, homemade desserts, marmalade… it was honestly a bite of paradise. Sitting in that garden each morning was something truly special and became one of the highlights of our trip. I also want to say that I fell ill on our second day and had to stay in bed. When Giorgio heard, he quietly began picking ingredients from his garden to make herbal teas and brought only food he thought would help me feel better. Such a kind, thoughtful man, his care was genuine and deeply appreciated. If you're visiting Modica, I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. Staying here will only enrich your experience. Love, Daniel & Martina xxx

Verified reviewBeautiful city, very good location, parents of Gulio were amazing even though they don't speak English, they were incredibly welcoming. Breakfast was perfect - locally made.
The room is a little old but very nice and fits the atmosphere of the whole town ✨
thank you for sharing your experience with us! I'm sorry I wasn't able to welcome you in person, but unfortunately, I was away due to family matters during your stay. I'm pleased to hear that you still had a lovely experience. Kind regards, Giulia

Verified reviewStaying in this house was truly one of the most beautiful experiences we’ve had during our travels. The house itself is charming, the garden is divine, and the owner and his daughter—who lovingly maintain the property and run the business as a family—left us speechless with their kindness. From the delicious breakfasts served each morning in the garden to their warm advice on what to visit, and even the relaxed, friendly conversations, we felt as though we had lived there our whole lives. Modica is an incredibly beautiful town, and its people are wonderful—but above all, it was our stay in this house that touched us most deeply. We wish to sincerely thank Giulia and her esteemed father for their wholehearted hospitality, and we truly hope to return one day and enjoy their home again in the same spirit, a place that radiates warmth and a true sense of home. With all our best wishes and warmest regards.
thanks a lot, we are very glad that you enjoyed your stay in our lovely property❤️ all the best !

Verified reviewLovely big room with a large balcony and views over the garden and hillside beyond Modica. Absolutely stunning garden full of orange trees, ferns and flowering plants with an amazing aroma - particularly good late April/early May. Julia was very friendly and helpful and prepared a lovely (and very substantial) breakfast with homemade mandarin jams, fruit, omlette and pastries. Parking was fine on roads nearby. The nearby local wine bar was great for dinner and drinks.
thank you so much, I am really Happy that you enjoyed your stay here ❤️

Verified reviewOur stay at "Il Giardino dei Mandarini" was great! The host Giulia takes care of everything with dedication and passion, she was very helpful in accommodating our needs and provided some great recommendations to enjoy our time in Modica. Our room was very spacious and had a great view on their beautiful garden and the valley. The entire property was spotless clean and we really appreciated having access to shared kitchen facilities (and even a piano to play!). The only thing to keep in mind is that the B&B is located in the upper part of Modica. This wasn't an issue at all for us as we had a car and Giulia was helping other guests with their transport arrangements too.
thank you so much❤️ A Big bug for Lorenzino ❤️

Verified reviewBeautiful old building. Such friendly and hospitable people. Great breakfast in a large beautiful old vaulted white stone kitchen opening on to a gorgeous old garden. Hand squeezed mandarin juice included.
For older guests like me, it’s a steep walk up from the centre of the town involving many steps. Theres a local bus on the hour.
thank you much to review us. I would like to inform the other guest that read this review that you could move in the city by car without problem, or by bus ( there Is a bus stop near the property), to go up and down through the city without problem. all the best.

Verified reviewI absolutely loved our host, the garden was superb and a great place for breakfast. our common area was adequate for playing games as long as. it was early (other guest rooms in area). We walked to the market for snacks which was a workout but was funny! I would definitely stay there again
the bed was a little to hard for me and so was the pillow but everyone had their own preference.
