Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

United StatesThe property was 5 stars . I loved it!! My only issue was we didn’t have a car and the cost of the taxis was expensive. A trip into town 2 Km was 30 Euros each way. If you stay here I recommend having a car.
Amazing property, filled with olive trees , it was peaceful and the villa was architected the most beautiful design and decor . The pool was clean and very nice place to relax . The staff was accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was crafted with love .

We had such a perfect stay, we were a big group but the hotel and staff made us feel really special and nothing was too much trouble. We ate outside in a gorgeous courtyard for every meal, surrounded by stunning views and a wonderful tranquil feeling. The pool was such a treat to swim in, the rooms were stylish but comfy, the staff were really friendly, and the food was some of the best food we ate in Sicily - absolutely delicious. Battimandorlo is a very special place. We are very much looking forward to a return visit soon.

United StatesThis hotel can be a little tricky to find. It is also located well outside of town, so don't expect to be able to walk anywhere - this is a very rural experience (including being a bit buggy). But if you are looking for this type of hotel, it's great.
This is a beautiful hotel in a small, converted farm. The conversion was beautifully done. The grounds, including the infinity pool, and the building are both very tasteful and efficient. The decor of the building is great. The staff are wonderful and the breakfast was superb - the owner also owns a restaurant in town which just got a Michelin star.

United StatesNothing, it was perfection
Our stay at Battimandorlo in Noto, Sicily, was truly unforgettable. The meticulous design and stunning scenery, set amid olive and almond groves just minutes from the heart of Noto, made for a breathtaking backdrop. It’s the perfect base for exploring Noto, Syracuse/Ortigia, and many nearby attractions. Our room was extremely comfortable and spacious, featuring the softest linens and the most inviting bed and pillows. The food was exceptional—every meal expertly crafted by a professional chef using local ingredients. Breakfast was a highlight, offering fresh-squeezed juices, delicious cakes, eggs to order, and a long list of other items you could order as many of as you liked. Not wanting to leave due to the serene atmosphere, we ended up dining there most evenings, enjoying dinner on the patio accompanied by a carefully curated playlist that enhanced the magical experience. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive all around. Each morning while at breakfast they cleaned our room and made our bed, leaving behind homemade cookies as a sweet surprise. Battimandorlo was truly one of the best stays we’ve ever had and we hope to return one day!

United StatesThe pool water was not inviting. It was green. Although staff said it was safe to swim in, my husband said no- so he would not swim. We have pools and green water can be treated and overnight- so a bit of ongoing pool maintenance issue I think. One of the reasons we stayed there was to enjoy pool and to relax with nature. So, a bit disappointing. But, inn and staff so delightful I still gave it a 9- one point lost due to pool color.
Breakfast was amazing and exceeded expectations!

United StatesThe air conditioning in our room could have been a bit stronger but it was never uncomfortable.
Our stay at Battimandorlo was even better than expected. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful throughout our time there, offering many tips and suggestions for exploring the area and helping with reservations at nearby restaurants. The food was amazing, both the dinner we had on our first night (which is an additional cost) and the breakfast (which is included). The grounds are beautiful and the atmosphere perfect for a relaxing few days in the Noto region.

United StatesHospitality of a family B&B with the amenities of a luxury hotel. The food was phenomenal- fresh, locally sourced, and made with care. The property is beautifully designed, modern Mediterranean interiors yet no shortage of that quintessentially Italian, old world charm. We loved relaxing by the pool, dining in the courtyard, and having a peaceful home base to return to after a day in Noto or swimming at Vendicari.

The breakfasts were lovely, outdoors by menu. The owner, Elaine, baked the sweet of the day on our last morning which was amazing and the waiter recommended wonderful items for us to try on other days. The staff was very helpful, recommending local places to visit and tips for parking (when needed). The area is very similar to Napa from 20 years ago, with lemon and olive trees all around you (but does not have the current crowds that Napa has) with a focus on wonderful food. For the cognizanti, who want a very comfortable stay and want to feel and taste the Valley di Noto, I highly recommend this venue.
