How guest reviews work
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...).

Verified reviewThat was the best hotel experience we had in Sicilia. Location, breakfast, cleanness… everything was top! We felt like staying in our family house and being taken care of. House provides all that you expect and even more. We’ll definitely come back here.
Definitely nothing.

Verified reviewEverything. Warm welcome from Maria.. Nothing too much trouble.. Delicious breakfast with homemade and local products. In particular we liked having spaces for two suitcases in the room and a bench to put clothes on in the shower room. Easy walking distance of historic centre. Local beach with chairs and towels provided by Maria.

Verified reviewWe travelled in the off-season, a week before Easter, which meant we were the only guests at the accommodation. Our host, Maria, made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived. She showed us where to park our car (for free, big plus in Cefalú!), and allowed us to continue using it for the afternoon after checking out. Maria provided excellent breakfast, and we could enjoy it on the sunny terrace next to the kitchen. The accommodation is located right next to the beach and is a short 10-minute walk from the historic city centre. Our tidy room had a balcony, which we enjoyed using during the afternoon. We loved everything and would not hesitate to book again. Maria, grazie mille!
Nothing to criticize, really!

Verified reviewOur wonderful host greeted us at the door and went out of her way to help us during our stay. It was great having the upstairs room with the washing line outsider so we could do some washing and also sit outside and admire the view of the beach and Cefalu rock. The breakfast was amazing with such a variety of home cooked bite sized portions. It was wonderful sitting out on the balcony each morning and enjoying the thoughtful breakfast. It was also great having access to beach chairs, beach umbrella and beach towels to have a swim and relax after a long day of exploring this wonderful city.

Verified reviewGreat Breakfast - Fresh Food, great coffee, local treats. Having our breakfast on the little balcony was a very pleasant experience. Maria was a fantastic host. Maria helped us by proving clear instructions on parking the car and personally guided us through the check in process. Excellent location - close to the action (old city, restaurants, beach) but far enough to be away from the crowds.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect — a short 10 minute walk along seawall to Old Town. We had a car and Stella Marina has parking, so very convenient. Property was quiet, spotlessly clean and very well run by the delightful proprietor. Our suite had a small balcony, much appreciated.
Nothing. It was perfect.

Verified reviewLovely host. Great location for sandy beach and easy walk to old town. Quiet at night. Amazing breakfast buffet (continental style - no British fry-ups). Large balcony.
Side view to a hotel and parking area. Not a problem for us at all but a lot of cats about! They were no problem at all but if you’re allergic to cats, maybe avoid. None inside as far as we saw.
