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...).

AustraliaWe liked everything but would have appreciated a bread knife.
The pick up at the airport was excellent and we had a very comfortable stay there. It is a lovely old apartment with lots of personal touches. Almost everything we could need was provided. Having water, coffee and fruit provided on arrival was much appreciated. The location is excellent. It is close to many attractions and is surrounded by restaurants. It was a little noisy at night but that is to be expected there. There was a rack ti dry washing on the balcony which was very useful. Gabriele was friendly and hospitable and answered any questions immediately. A visit ti the Benedictine Monastery is a must. I highly recommend this stay.

BulgariaThe location of the apartment is great - right at the street with restaurants and bars and Via Etnea just around the corner. It is next to the vegetables market which was so entertaining to visit and we got some great and very cheap fruits and veggies there. The fish market is not far away and is also an amazing experience. There is a nice bakery nearby. We cooked a great dinner in the kitchen - it has everything you might need. The apartment itself is fairly spacious, with separate kitchen, living room and 2 bedrooms. The bathroom is big and comfortable. One of the bedrooms overlooks the bars on the street and can be noisy till midnight. The other one is quiet and has a balcony to the inner courtyard. The apartment is equipped with everything for a pleasant stay. The hosts were very friendly, kind and welcoming. They waited for us at the address to give us the key and tell us everything about the apartment and the area around. They also wrote a very detailed guide for Catania which was great and very useful. We couldn`t be happier with their attention to us. The apartment is worth it!

PolandThere is no elevator in the building, but it's not a big problem as the appartment is on 1st floor.
Fantastic location! The apartment is in the heart of the city, close to all the major attractions and public transportation. It made exploring the city so convenient. The owner was an outstanding host, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The welcome basket was a lovely touch. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

SpainNothing negative to say, it's worth noting that the apartment is on a vibrant and lively street with many bars and restaurants. This is a big plus for me, specially in Catania, but if you are looking for a extremely quiet stay, you might want to consider this.
Excellent location in the heart of the city. The apartment is spacious, well-renovated, and retains charming period details that offer a glimpse into the past. The host was incredibly helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!

Czech Republicnothing :)
Gabriele was a great host who welcomed me personally when I arrived. Flat is great and exactly as presented on the photos. Complimentary coffee, sweet cakes and fresh fruit - great bonus :) The area is lively (but not crazy lively!) with cool restaurants and bars. This was a one week solo trip for me and I felt like at home and really safe there. Easy to walk anywhere - all the major sightseeing spots within 10-15min walk. Having Lidl, Penny and Deco supermarkets less than 5min away was also super-handy, same as the big outdoor market for local furit, veg, fish etc.... Overall this flat is just perfect!

AustraliaNothing really, but it could have been useful to have a microwave oven and toaster.
This place was very spacious - including 5 large rooms. Lovely retro vibe with very tasteful furnishings (very comfortable bed and couch). Large smart tv and cd player + discs. The kitchen was very well appointed and enabled home cooking. AC in both the living area and bedroom worked well. It was in a lively location, but the bedroom was located at the back, so was quiet for sleeping.

BelgiumThe bar downstairs was quite loud due to the Eurocup, but it didn't disturb us since in the late hours they respected resting hours.
The apartment was very clean,comfortable, and very spacious. Definitely a good price quality ratio and extremely helpful and friendly staff. The location was great - and also a lot of bars and restaurants around.
