Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Francethe window on the street was no isolating the sound at all (because there was a hole for the air conditioning) so it is quite noisy but with earplugs I slept well
The host was really nice and the room with good equipment (light and plug socket).

SlovakiaOverall good place for night or two. Its more like a apartment with a few dorm rooms, kitchen and bathroom, not a big hostel with a lot of rooms etc. Owner was friendly, room was fine. It gets noisy in the evening from the street, but good earplugs can really help. Would come back again.

Better breakfast than what you get in most 4* hotels in Italy. Perfect place to make new friends and enjoy Palermo.

GermanyThe traffic from the main street was very loud, even with the windows closed. The price was a bit higher than usual for a hostel. The hostel could do with a few more washroom facilities.
Smack dab in the middle of the center you couldn't wish for a better location. There are bars and restaurants directly around the corner and most of the historic center can be reached within 15 minutes by foot. Also the breakfast is extensive and very good.

GermanyLocation is great, perfect to explore Palermo! As it is located in one of the busiest neighbourhoods, it can get quite noisy at night, but a good pair of earplugs will help you have a quiet sleep ;-) The staff was extremely lovely!!! Every morning we would have an abundant breakfast prepared by Mario (host), he was always making sure that we had everything. Mario would sit at the table with us and eat and talk. It felt like we were family. The room was spacious, clean and decently comfy. The cleanliness of the room and bathrooms was on top! I would definitely recommend this place!!!
