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.).

LebanonMariella is the most amazing and welcoming host I have met in entire Italy. She makes you feel at home ; the room is super modern and clean ; location is perfect so close to the train station and couple of minutes walking to the center. The highlight of the stay is the breakfast variety done daily by Mariella that is super delicious. This is the place to stay when in Palermo.

United KingdomB and B Palermo is ideally situated, a 7 minute walk from the trains station and 5 minutes from the Old Town. Almost ideally placed to avoid the noise at night. Mariella was the perfect host, the rooms were spotless and the breakfast wide ranging from your typical meats and cheese, to a wonderful selection of cakes, biscuits, jams etc all home and quite stupendous. Mariella is very engaging and a wonderful host who goes the extra mile. Great value would highly recommend. For Palermo the Cathedral and Botanical Gardens were my highlights.

IrelandThe location is tucked away on a quiet street but Palermo can be a lively city at night time.
The stay was exceptional, with immediate offers on arrival from Mariella of coffees and many tasty homemade pastries and biscuits. She made us feel right at home and took an interest in how each day went and helped us with advice on navigating through the various markets. Everywhere in Palermo was accessible by foot from the accommodation, and the airport shuttle from Palermo Centrale bus station was a 6 minute walk away. The breakfast contains a delicious range of Sicilian specialities many of which are homemade daily.

Mariella is the kindest of hosts, her abundant breakfast with lots of home made delicacies will make you want to prolong your stay in Palermo, provided you manage to get out of the more than comfortable large beds in one of the sparkling clean rooms.
