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...).

A great location in the Centre of Ortigia. A great apartment with an additional bedroom in the attic. All amenities were provided including a washing machine. Very comfortable stay. Wish we could have stayed longer.

United KingdomWe liked everything.
The host was very hospitable and kind, answering all of our questions. The location was excellent, a few minutes walk to the fountain, sea, the old market and the church. Restaurants and supermarket were also nearby. The apartment is on a quiet street but within a few minutes walking distance to everything you need/ see. The nearest parking space is within 10 minutes walk for €15 euros a day which was essential for us. The apartment met our every needs and it was a lovely home to stay in with our 5 year old son.

United KingdomThe kitchen and bathroom were rather old and tired but still functional.
In an excellent location in the centre of Ortigia and in a very atmospheric and characterful narrow street. The security was also excellent. Very easy to lock the apartment but also easy to access it so we felt very secure. We also appreciated it having a washing machine.

CanadaIt's not bad thing but pigeons on the roof kept waking my friend up. Just heads up to whoever sensitive to noises.
The location was perfect. We are close to all restaurants, cafe and grocery stores. I found this place really convenient. The owner of this place was really friendly and she responded our message quickly. The bed was comfortable. There are some olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in the kitchen so we could make salad in the morning. Most of the time it was quiet although we are close to busy street. A lot of room in the house. Heater was working well and we were comfortable. Having a washing machine was bonus. The bed on the loft is firm. I used sofa bed. That one was also good but a bit soft. I slept well though.

AustraliaThe small kitchen meant there was no room for a microwave oven, which would’ve been useful for reheating food etc.
A wonderful small cosy apartment, which made us feel like we’re part of the local community as we hung a laundry out on the balcony. It was within walking distance of all the sites of Ortigia. The apartment was well equipped, Located in a quiet area and very comfortable.

BulgariaMe and my son 14 year spent the Christmas holidays here. 7 exciting days and not enough. The hosts had decorated and there were lights shining. On the table I had a bottle of wine, nuts, fruit and a large pennettone cake. It was fantastic. All comforts were provided for me. On the island of Ortija, charm and magic of past centuries are combined. A unique place where you never get bored. On 30.12. 2023 I even visited the Teatro Comunale, where I saw a musical of Pipino il Brave. I ate all kinds of sweets typical of Sicily - cannelloni, baba, cassata, panna cotta. To feel the spirit and the atmosphere you must stay at least 7 days. Тhanks very much

MaltaI knew I would be using the sofa bed to sleep on and, as expected, this wasn't very comfortable.
Cetty, the proprietor was most helpful and welcoming. She has thought of absolutely everything one may need in a holiday home, and more. The location could not be better. Very good internet connection.
