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 KingdomThe accommodation is on a busy road but the double glazing and shutters keep the noise out and the air con kept the room at a comfortable temperature.
The owner/manager was extremely friendly. Although his English was limited, we were able to communicate without any issues through google translate. The breakfast was superb and tailor made to our requests. The location is perfect for travel with the Alibus stop which goes to the airport and the main train station just opposite. The room and facilities were basic but clean and comfortable.

Excellent location with airport bus stop right aaaaoutside, and there are literally hundreds of restaurants and shops within an easy walk. And majestic Mt Etna looming right at the end of the street.

AustraliaThe owner went out of his way to meet us and welcome when we arrived quite late after a delayed flight. The room was clean, spacious, and in a great location. Right in the main street, 10 minutes walk from the sights. Bus stops were nearby. Most of all, the breakfast was brilliant. Great value.

PolandThe host is super friendly and responsive. I think he listens to people's feedback and improves the property and the service. Even though the host didn't speak English, it wasn't a problem to communicate with the help of a translator. The full proper breakfast was served by the host, including fresh pastries bought on his way to the property. We lived in a quadruple room and didn't notice anything bad. Overall, the property and its host made a positive impression on us.

United KingdomThey were very kind to us. We were due to stay at another property but that was cancelled last minute as we were arriving too late as our flight was delayed. We were able to check in here after midnight and park our car nearby with only a few hours notice. We were able to check out 20 minutes late to catch up on some sleep. We felt very grateful to have stayed here.

United StatesIf you are not used to the layout of older Italian buildings with their cavernous ground floor entryways with a portone, you might be shocked at first with its cave-like qualities, but I kind of like this kind of building.
The location is great- right across the street from the airport bus stop and the major sights to see are a short walk away. The host was welcoming and generous and the room comfortable and quiet.
