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...).

FranceThis was my first stay here and it was truly a wonderful experience. The host was very kind, cooperative, and understanding, always ready to help with a warm smile. The place was clean, quiet, and comfortable, which made my trip so much more special. Honestly, I fell in love with the country even more because of this place. I truly recommend it and I’m so grateful for everything. 🌿🤍

What a fabulous warm welcome we received. Really helpful advice, map, suggestions of what to do during our brief stop over and also in getting to the airport for our early flight. On hearing we wouldn't be around for breakfast we were quickly supplied with croissants biscuits, jams juice and a kettle for our room. The room was lovely, tiles flooring and a balcony with a Seaview. The historic centre is easily walkable and we found beautiful restaurants there. If you are using public transport to move around Sicily I Puritani is perfectly located, 10 mins walk from the bus station and 5 mins to the train station. The train to the airport was quick and efficient. Communication up to arrival was also excellent. I would definitely stay there again when visiting Sicily

CanadaIt was hot and evens with the ac on in the room it never got really cooled down. Some trouble sleeping as the door to my room was near the stairs and reception desk so it was very loud when people were coming and going. The breakfast was great but only starts at 8am which means if you have an excursion or train/ flight before 9am you miss breakfast.
Location was great, close to Catania Central Station and on the main route to and from the airport. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Czech RepublicWe had room directly oposite the breakfast room and in the morning we heard everything -from preparing breakfast to other guests snacking. It was a little bit noisy, so we needed to use earplugs, when we wanted to sleep longer.
Very nice room, comfortable and with nice new bathroom. Old building but with an atmosfere. Hostess Gabriela was also very helpful. Hotel has a great position, if you want to go to the centre, by foot you are on the main square in 15 minutes.

SwedenOur room was a bit too small, with really minimal space for maneuvering, and it could also use some more soundproofing. There is a busy road in from on the building, so light sleepers might need earplugs.
I was torn between giving 8 or 9 stars, but I eventually gave 9. It would be an 8.5 in my book. The owner is very kind and helpful. The breakfast is reasonable with nice day-to-day variation, the location is very good. Overall good value for the money.

Very nice hostess, breakfast was simple but very good. It was close to Catania Central and that was very helpful for getting around to different places in Sicily. My bed and bath were very comfortable. I would stay again.

She was attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of fresh and tasty options. Our room was cleaned daily, which made our stay even more comfortable. The location is perfect—very central and within walking distance to the city center, making it easy to explore the area.
