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...).

United States of AmericaNo issues. Owners are next door and seemed willing to do anything to accommodate us.
Fabulous view! Hard to imagine a better on in Ortigia. Watched an almost full moon rise our last night while enjoying take out pizza and an excellent bottle of local wine on the outdoor terrace.

South KoreaNothing. It’s perfect
We stayed here during our Honeymoon. The view from the terrace is phenomenal. It was absolutely breathtaking once you raise the window shade. It’s way more beautiful than the pictures. There are a lot of apartments with beautiful sea view, but I am certain that the view here is the best since it’s very expansive. not a small&narrow window, but a very wide window and terrace. It’s 5th floor (has an elevator too!) so the view has nothing to be disturbed. The location is amazing that the beach is so close and you can go anywhere in Ortigia easily. But very quite at the same time. There was a construction going on when we have arrived (it was finished when we checked out), but we were surprised that it was amazingly quite from that sound in the room. I loved everything about this room. It’s super clean, the interior is beautiful, room is spacious, has well equipped kitchen, amazing terrace with parasol. Also the host, Fabrizio, is so kind and nice. My husband and I were continously touched by his kindness. He couldnt speak English, but he kept trying to communicate with the translator. We could feel his warm-heartedness. He let us leave our luggage and check in a bit earlier than the informed time. And provided enough towels when we asked for. Refrigerator was filled with couple of beverages, which were all good. (Thank you) It was our best stay in Sicily. If I come back to Siracusa, I would definitely stay here again.

Poland1) Lack of hangers in the bathrooms. 2) The quite high rental price may be explained by the huge sizes of the terrace and of the living room but they are of limited usefulness for a couple. The owner should adjust better the price accordingly to the number of occupants or a voucher for a breakfast should be offered at least.
1) The huge terrace overlooking the church with the beautiful sea view. 2) A lift even old is still gold in such old buildings to avoid climbing 4-5 stairs with suitcases. 3) The nice neighborhood, close to the main attractions, shops and restaurants of Ortigia (although requiring 20-30 min walk to the main train or bus stations (which are located in the city center of Siracusa).

Fabrizio is an excellent and sympathetic host, always quick to communicate. He was very helpful and accommodating to me in a difficult situation that involved me checking out VERY late. I probably inconvenienced him a lot though he said not a word in complaint. Now, the apartment is lovely: very comfortable, spacious, and very well fitted out. It has a fabulous terrace with great views - you can even see Etna on a good day. There are great sea-views and a charming old church directly in front, hence Le Tre Campane - though only two bells remain! The location could not be better for a visit to Ortigia. Don't forget to check what's on at the theatre on the ground floor of the building! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this flat and would love to return.

Beautiful newly renovated apartment with modern amenities. Incredible terrace with lovely views of the water and the surrounding city. There's a small elevator to help with luggage since the apartment was on the 5th floor. Fabrizio was a wonderfully kind and caring host.

CanadaKitchen was not quite as usable as we hoped, especially being that we really wanted to do some cooking. The fridge was a half sized bar fridge and unfortunately froze some of our vegetables.
The location was excellent, in the heart of Ortigia's beautiful and walkable historic center but on a quieter side street. The view and terrace were spectacular, the bed was very comfortable and the apartment was very quiet and clean. The hosts provided a bottle of local beer and some Sicilian soft drinks and very kindly took us to the local food market, introduced us to their fish seller and made sure we got some amazingly fresh calamari. They even gave us suggestions how to cook them and provided great restaurant and sightseeing recommendations.

BelgiumMuch as I hate to say anything negative as we loved the place, the terrace (which is huge) is really missing a dining table and chairs. The lounge chairs are lovely but not really practical for drinking a coffee in the morning, or eating outside.
Stunning apartment with fabulous views. The attention to detail with the spec was second to none - lovely bathroom, kitchen, bed, towels etc. Nespresso machine with lots of capsules/sugar/tea. The Ortigia toiletries were a lovely touch - the shop is 5 mins away on Via Roma - my credit card thanked me :). The location is excellent - everything within an easy stroll - and so many fabulous places to eat in the vicinity. We loved Anchovies and the Locandiera di Palazzo Bellamo. Nice wine bar on the ground floor too. Fabrizio was fabulous. We messaged him as we left the airport, and he was there to meet up with the keys. He sent some great links for food etc and organised our taxi to the station when we left. Amazing terrace with loungers and a gorgeous view to the sea.

United States of AmericaThe facade of the building is utilitarian and not charming at all. But it’s located in a lovely piazza, and the penthouse apartment is fantastic.
My husband and I stayed here (at the apartment looking out into the rooftops and the sea beyond) for a week, and by the end of it, were convinced we couldn’t have picked a dreamier view in Ortigia. The reality is better than the photos. The flat is impeccable and the location, excellent. The balcony is extraordinary.
