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...).

SwitzerlandWalking to Ortigia takes ~30minutes and is not interesting. We walked anyway and didn’t mind it so much. We knew it when booking the hotel.
We stayed 4 nights at the end of June. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They gave us plenty of good advice for restaurants, places to visit and beaches. They even lent us an umbrella and cooler bag for the day. The room was comfortable, simple yet stylish. The balcony had great views over the sea. The breakfast was excellent, with fresh fruits, cheeses, cereals, bread and a fresh cake every morning. You can access the sea for a swim directly from the hotel which we did every morning . They have water shoes available to use, as the entry in the water is over rocks. The rooftop terrace is also amazing! I highly recommend this hotel.

United KingdomStunning location, with superbly appointed rooms. Breakfast was always excellent and varied. Both Sabrina and Claudia were wonderful hosts and arranged various trips, meals etc. This hotel has excellent ratings and it is obvious why this is so. After two years of lockdown, this was a most cathartic experience. Highly recommended

United KingdomVery little. If anything it was a little cold at nights but not too uncomfortable once we got the heating going in the room. Also slight walk to Ortigia, which was the main place to hang about.
Our hosts, Sabrina and Claudia, were both amazing people. They went out of their way, not only to make us feel at home, but also to help us out in booking train tickets, recommending good restaurants and in helping retrieve a mobile phone which was left in a taxi. The breakfast was exceptionally good. Fabulous home made bakes of stuffed pastries and cakes. The balcony of our room overlooked the sea and we enjoyed splendid views of sunrise right from our rooms.

GermanyOur room was large and beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The view, even from the bed, is stunning! You have access to the sea! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. There are roof top terraces to chill out and have a Aperetivo. For us it was the perfect place to finish our Sicily trip!

SpainI can't highlight nothing negative, maybe the unique point was the power of the air conditioner that wasn't enough because of these hot days.
We decided to repeat the experience in Giuggiulena for a second opportunity because we were really happy to visit this great B&B. The opportunity to enjoy a sea down few steps without a crowded or massive beach, the spirit of service of owners and personnel of B&B are enough to achieve a few days of peace and relaxation. We love Sicilia and maybe you will go to another location more beautiful than Siracusa, but if you enjoy the quiet days in part of your trip, you are searching a really good accommodation with good relation price/benefit, comfortable, paradise environment with sweet and friendly people, you must visit Giuggiulena, it won't let you down.

AustriaFirst we booked just for 5 days. After we entered our room with this unbelievable view to the sea we just felt so relaxed and never wanted to leave again. The room itself was freshly renovated and thoroughly cleaned everyday by Luna, the girl who also served us every morning a lovely homemade breakfast. There was everyday fresh homemade cake that my boyfriend really loved also fresh seasonal fruit, cheese, bread, cereals, excellent coffee, freshley squeezed orange juice, ect. :) And not to forget our big big love goes to Sabrina our hostmum. She was incredible!!! Sabrina was always here to help or gave us tips for daytrips, best restaurants to eat, organised sunbeds for the cliffs infront of Giuggulena, ect.! Sabrina and her lovely sister manage this B&B that you only can fall in love with. After 2 nights we booked 3 more nights because we just felt like home! Thank you very much Sabrina and your team, we already miss you <3<3<3
