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...).

Host is completely inappropriate and rude. He started threatening me and extorting me because I didn't wash the dishes. In all my days of travelling and using booking.com and airbnb I have NEVER experienced this before. Host proceeded to ILLEGALLY CHARGE MY CARD after departure without consent or without any kind of policy. Nothing was damaged, host is corrupt and rude.

Verified reviewEverything. This is a property that truly deserves its name. It’s very spacious and in includes your own outside mini courtyard! I took showers just to enjoy the disco lighting! Spotlessly clean, very quiet and the location could not be better two steps away from one of the city’s Main Street food market and walking distance from all the best eating places in Catania! Gianpaolo is an exceptionally caring host who really does his best to make the place welcoming. If I ever come back to Catania, I would definitely stay there again.
Nothing. Everything was great.

Verified reviewVery close to the downtown Catania market, one block. Easy scooter ride to anything you need. Very secure. 
You need to turn the lights off with the key in order to unlock and lock the doors. Difficult to see at night. Just one window at the front of the property. It can be opened but it’s usually too humid for that.

Verified reviewBeautiful, large apartment. Seperate bedroom, lounge/ kitchen, bathroom, laundry and small patio out the back. All very modern. Loved the large chandelier in the kitchen, fresco in the bedroom and coloured lights in the bathroom! Good washing machine and drying rack. Large fridge in the kitchen. 2 air-conditioners - worked well as it was hot when we were there. Very secure good solid door with lock and key lock the gate too. All on ground level. About 100 metres from great restaurant street called Via Santo Filomena, with lots of beautiful restaurants. Pizza Bar a few steps away. Lovely taverna about 50 metres away around the corner called Taverna dei Conti. 200 metres from Via Etna and about 10 minutes walk from Duomo. We were very lucky to find this apartment- we had booked another apartment who cancelled on us 10 days before arrival!! Lucky for us!!

Verified reviewThe apartment and private courtyard were spectacular. Giampaolo is an excellent host, quick to respond and happy to be flexible. We would definitately stay again.
Only downside was just having one keycard (which is both key and used for powering the electricity). Hopefully a temporary blip.

Verified reviewThe attention of Gianpaolo was great; the apartment is really well located and is totally equipped.
The mattress of both beds were super soft, so unfortunately we did not take a well deserved rest.
Grazie.
