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...).

United StatesThe actual rooms need updates; especially the bathrooms/showers. For the price, I did not expect Hyatt luxury, but I did expect more modern features (Just some examples: the shower was just an afterthought--a box was added but not an actual shower pan or sloping for drainage. The water pressure and temp. is fine but the shower head was blocked in parts and needed to be cleaned or replaced. The tile job was really bad with molded grout. The toilet seat which is heavy ceramic hits you mid back when seated). There were other issues, but just to say, e' la somma che fa totale. And, overall my perspective is that the facilities are sub par, but the staff are really exceptional, so they are the hotel's saving grace.
First, the staff was very kind and welcoming. They were super professional and they merit 5+ stars. The hotel is in a nice location, accessible to the historic center on foot in minutes. The terrace is lovely and the breakfast and service at breakfast also 5+ stars. A large array of fresh baked goods, fresh juices, yoghurt etc.

NicaraguaSome of the little rooms without balconies need some decoration to cheer them up.
Staff was great. Jessica was very helpful, and do were Manuela and the gentleman at front desk. The lady serving breakfast was also an anxious to please. I liked breakfast location with the option to sit outsude on the roof. My room had a charming old mural painted on the ceiling. and a balcony looking onto the street. I enjoyed it. But not all rooms were so cheerful.

AustraliaNothing about the hotel per se, we just didn't really enjoy the city. We were only there for one night because we flew in to their international airport. We went to Taormina the next day which is exceptional.
Location is quite good. Everything we did was within walking distance. The hotel is a bit on the older side but the cleanliness is outstanding. Breakfast is served on a rooftop terrace which is quite lovely.

RussiaThe location of the hotel is in an alley. The entrance to the hotel is not marked, just like the front door. And at all: these are rooms on a separate floor of the building rather than a hotel in the usual sense. There are cockroaches in the room! There are a large number of local Sicilian pies on breakfasts, but there are too many of them, so they stand for a long time and in fact all have become honored and tasteless.
The hotel is actually located on the 4th floor of a building that you have to take an elevator up to. Everything is quite old. I liked the beautiful painted ceilings in the rooms. There is also a beautiful breakfast terrace. The breakfast is good, with ham, cheese, and delicious coffee. There is no hot food. The staff is very welcoming. The Wi-Fi is good.
