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...).

CanadaThere was some noise. The first day there was loud music above the kitchen and as the ceiling isn’t insulated in that part of the apartment it sounded very loud. Marika asked the neighbour to turn it down after an hour and they did. For the rest of the stay we were aware of TVs on upstairs and noises outside but it wasn’t bothersome.
Lovely apartment and a good size. Very central to everything in Ortigia. We stayed six nights. Marika was helpful and available when she was needed. It was nice to have a washing machine and good sized kitchen. Lots of good restaurants in Ortigia so we didn’t use the kitchen much.

IndiaNothing in particular. We were quite happy
The house was very well located, close to the main attractions but away from the noise. It was compact but had everything we needed. There was a nice lookout garden. The house has a spiral staircase to the bedroom and toilet on the 1st floor of the apartment. The communication with Fabrizio was excellent.

GermanyOur stay in Ortigia was simply wonderful, and we have Marika to thank for making it so memorable. From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly friendly and attentive, always available to help with anything we needed. Her warmth and hospitality made us feel right at home. The apartment itself was perfect – it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, from a fully equipped kitchen to cozy living spaces. The location is unbeatable, nestled right in the heart of Ortigia and within walking distance to all the beautiful sites, shops, and restaurants. We highly recommend staying here if you’re planning a trip to Ortigia. Thank you, Marika, for such an exceptional experience!

We rented La Stanza di Carlo to enjoy 3 days in Ortigia. The apartment is a true gem in the heart of the city. Marika, both helpful and welcoming, offers high-quality accommodation, elegant with ample amenities that allowed us to spend 3 wonderful days both exploring the city and enjoying the space. The central location on the island provides easy access to the entire city center in less than 15 minutes. We fully understand the prestigious rating of this accommodation. Thank you, Marika, for your hospitality. We highly recommend without hesitation.

United KingdomThe lady who helped us check-in was very helpful. This place is in the old town and she gave clear instructions on how to unload the luggage without having to pay. We parked in a parking lot about 7 minutes away and walked everywhere in the old town. The place has an amazing location. We enjoyed our stay.

United KingdomThe apartment is great! Adding a unit of drawers (for socks and such) would make it perfect. Also, the marks on the electric oven had rubbed off, so maybe some instructions on how to set this? (We googled 'ikea ovens' and found out in this way, the oven itself works perfectly and produced some yummy dinners for us).
Le Stanze di Carlo is a beautiful, spacious apartment in the heart of Ortigia's Old Town. Well equipped kitchen-diner, cosy seating area with large screen TV, comfortable bedroom and a bathroom that's truly spectacular to look at and a pleasure to use... all this within walking distance of the Piazza Duomo, Ortigia Market and other local attractions,. Our friendly and helpful hosts lived nearby, which proved to be an extra bonus. We loved it all!
