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

Once again, our stay at Il Fuoco Di Archimede Ortigia was simply magical. You could not ask for a better location. Situated in the heart of Ortigia, just around the corner from the main shopping area and best restaurants. The accommodation itself is immaculate and literally looks like something that would grace the pages of Architectural Digest. And what truly makes our stays so special is Alessandra - a consummate host who is kind, thoughtful and goes above and beyond to ensure you have the best time in Ortigia.

A truly beautiful apartment right in the centre of Ortigia with fantastic facilities. It has been designed and decorated really nicely. The owner was there to meet us and helped us with our bags; she then directed us to a nearby car park (25 euros per day) The location was absolutely perfect and there is a convenience shop only 30 metres away. We were able to go out around Ortigia, but return to the apartment for lunch or for snacks as it was so conveniently situated. There are many restaurants close by, so you are spoilt for choice. No noise at night

I can’t recommend Il Fuoco di Archimede - Ortigia highly enough- it’s in the perfect location to explore Ortigia, with a minutes walk to the main shopping area. The apartment is very spacious - with 2 large, ensuite bedrooms, big comfortable beds, a stylish, fully fitted kitchen and lovely bathrooms. No expense was spared on interior touches either - exposed original stonework, inlaid tile floors and beautiful soft furnishings. A space you would expect to see on the pages of World of Interiors. And Alessandra was a fantastic host and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Ortigia is always amazing, but our stay at Il Fuoco di Archimede - Ortigia made it magical. We can’t wait to visit again and just hope this place will be available!

AustraliaThe pressure in the both bathroom showers was virtually non existent - i had read earlier reviews about this but thought they may have exaggerated the issue but they didn't. I'm not sure what can be done to remedy as I understand these buildings are very old? No toilet seat provided in the ensuite bathroom which was puzzling and disappointing? The kitchen cupboards could all do with a clean and tidy up - lots of unnecessary items notably under sink and it was a bit grubby because of that. Likewise the laundry was full of cleaning products and equipment that was not in any kind of order making it difficult to clean and thus it was not clean or tidy. Equally, the wardrobes were full of extra quilts pillows blankets etc which made it difficult to hang anything - they could also do with a clean up and tidy.
The location was perfect - only one street back from Corso Giacomo right near Piazza Archimede. Alessandra couldn't have been more welcoming. The layout of the unit was great - the bedrooms quiet, spacious and comfortable. The addition of the washing machine was very welcome.
