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...).

The apartment is located in a quiet and cozy street in the center of Ortigia. The beach is 50 m away. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. The manager Marco was very hospitable. He gave many useful instructions on how to have a good time in Syracuse. We were very pleased when after the heat, cold water and drinks were waiting for us in the refrigerator from Marco. There were also snacks and a lot of coffee in capsules. The air conditioning worked well. The bed was perfectly clean, the bed was comfortable. I recommend Marco's apartments

Fantastic location, great apartment. Marco is a great host who gives you all the information you need and answers any questions really quickly. We had an issue with the boiler and Marco was super responsive and was able to sort it out immediately which was greatly appreciated. Lots of lovely restaurants and places to go for a drink, as well as beautiful sunsets and a little beach nearby. Would 100% recommend Marco’s made in ortigia apartments for a stay!

The flat has a window in kitchen and french window up high to look onto street but no outside space but other flats do have ..so if outside space is essentail check with Marco which one you are in. This was out mistake for not double checking from the photos, There is a kitchen with basic equipment. One mobility warning. there is a very lovely modern spiral staircase to get to the bed - you need to be agile to use this at night especially if you are very tall!
Very helpful host. Fantastic location at the heart of the old city of Ortigia. The sea is at each end of the narrow quiet street - facing both sides of the 'island'. The central hub and Largo leading to Aretusa spring is very close for bars, cafes, views, as well as for seafront walks around the island towards the bridges to cross to mainland Siracusa, yet the street is protected from any noise.

There were some small issues that we commented with our host but this wasn't something that could spoil our experience.
The location is great. Marco (our host) was very polite and responsive. There's a really sweet terrace at the roof top of the building.
