Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

CanadaThe curtains are a bit thin and let some light through, but we still slept well.
We loved our stay at Fausto's house. Fausto communicated effectively via WhatsApp prior to our arrival and was there to greet us upon our arrival. The apartment is spacious and very well equipped (the kitchen had everything we needed, the laundry machine and space to hang out clothes was great as we were on the road for a long time, and umbrellas for the light rain). Both the main bed and the sofa bed were very comfortable. It is very well located on a very nice and fairly quiet street. It's right across from the puppet museum, which was a bonus for our 3 year old! I would recommend this place to families, couples or small groups of friends.

United KingdomAlthough it's on a quiet street and has really good sound proofing, there is still quite a bit of noise when vehicles go past. But nowhere in Ortigia is quiet and I would still recommend staying here!
Great sized, well equipped apartment in an amazing location, right in the heart of Ortigia. 3 minutes walk to a beautiful swimming spot. Nice balcony. Fausto was really helpful. He met us at the property and gave us lots of info and recommendations. It's about a 20 minute walk from where Fausto recommends you can park (molo sant Antonio). That costs €15 per 24 hours but there are also some free spots in the streets near the car park (marked with white lines). We were lucky enough to get one of those.

Additionally, the pick-up from the bus station and drop-off at the train station were provided at a very reasonable price.

United StatesFausto’s apartment was truly comfortable. We had everything needed to make the stay easy and enjoyable. Good assortment of dishes, pots and pans, salt, pepper, oregano, and coffee, were all available. The location could not have been better to explore the city! The balcony was a treat. We watched a small school group excitedly going to the puppet museum across the road. (A must see as well as the theater production) We felt like a local. We would gladly return. Thank you so much Fausto!😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃❤️👍

United StatesFausto actually met us at the property to check-in and was very helpful both in advance with parking advice and once we were there with restaurant recommendations and other assistance. The room is very centrally located within walking distance of pretty much anything on Ortigia island and is extremely well stocked with kitchen appliances, utensils and basics for cooking. The bathroom was clean and included a washing machine which is always a bonus if you are travelling for extended periods of time. Also, a very cute little balcony and TV with some English channels was helpful (since our Italian is less than stellar...). Would definitley recommend staying at Fausto's house if you visit Syracuse!

Czech RepublicThe noise from garbage collection and passing scooters might disturb your sleep, so I recommend bringing earplugs. Other than that, there’s nothing to complain about!
Fausto is a wonderful host—he picked us up from the bus station, showed us some local spots along the way, and helped us get oriented. The apartment itself was lovely and clean, located in the best part of Syracuse. We also had access to a washing machine, an iron, and a hairdryer, which made our stay much more convenient. Just a short walk from the apartment is the heart of Ortigia, where you’ll find everything you need—local specialties, traditional wine bars, clothing shops, and delicious gelato. You also have easy access to the historical landmarks that Ortigia is known for. We’re truly grateful for the exceptional time we spent here.

AustraliaNothing to dislike.
The property is in a fantastic location. Close to everything in Ortygia but not on one of the thoroughfares that get mobbed by day trippers. Fausto was the perfect host. Met us at the door and gave us a comprehensive briefing on the apartment, his recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. He also has a booklet of that info in the apartment. The apartment is simple but comfortable and for the price is excellent value.

The building is on a quiet street in the old Jewish district, but at the same time in the heart of everything. It's great for both long and short stays.
