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...).

NetherlandsParking is the main problem. Ask the manager for help. Via della Giudecca is a narrow street for pickup and dropoff only. There's paid parking at Parking Talete 700m north of the hotel (use meters or phone app to pay), and limited free parking just south on the street Elio Vittorio at the white lines. Otherwise, street parking is largely for residents only. We saw cars being towed that did not have the right permit.
Location is the main draw of La Via della Giudecca. It is steps away from cafes, attractions, shops, and restaurants. Once inside, it is a tranquil oasis with spacious rooms and a courtyard with lots of plants and skylight. The manager is very helpful with advice and tips. If you are driving into town, get your car registered at the desk for permission to drive in the restricted areas (most of Ortigia).

United KingdomThe fridge is on but not needed. We turned it off to save energy, but housekeeping turned it back on. It seems crazy to gave a fridge running when not needed.
Fabulous location in the Jewish quarter. Very helpful staff gave us a map highlighting all of Cortigua's best bits. We had top floor suite with a private balcony.

United States of AmericaThe stairs are long and challenging, and there is no elevator. Do NOT choose this hotel if you have mobility problems.
Location was outstanding on Via della Giudecca in Ortigia. The room was not outstanding. Comfortable and pleasant enough, but noisy at night and up two very steep, long and difficult flights of stairs.

Beautiful place to stay. Lovely building. Furnished thoughtfully and tastefully. Very helpful & friendly people. Location, just ideal. We took 2 rooms 4 traveling (6 weeks in Italy) and we all agreed we hadn't been in a better place. Very much recommended. We arrived by car outside hotel, dropped bags and parked (€15 per day in parking Tallete) very easy. Lovel island for wandering. Hotel right next to church with tour of subterranean system - really excellent.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have a breakfast option. However, it was made clear before booking that there wasn't any.
The hotel is spotlessly clean and in a fantastic location, close to the main attractions of Ortigia without any of the noise. The staff are extremely helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The bed was comfortable with a choice of pillows in the room (one firm, one less so).

United States of AmericaI’d stayed here 8 yrs ago and it was a full-feature hotel. Today it’s a bit more like an AirBnb. Staff is seldom there and there’s no coffee or even rudimentary breakfast available. You’re kind of on your own mostly and as long as everything goes well that’s great. Maybe it’s a staffing issue. Puzzled at why there’re are little kitchens without ANY plates cups or spoons even.
Beautiful place. Nicely designed. Location is awesome
