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.).

ChinaNo, it's a perfect house!
Located in the heart of the old city of Oritigia, the host called valet parking for us. The location is extremely good, everything is within walking distance. The room is an old building renovation, with a great sense of design and aesthetics. The room is spacious, clean and well-equipped. Highly recommended!

AustraliaThe upstairs room is definitley for more fit or younger visitors as the staircase is tricky and narrow and the ceiling heights are low. It is also partly open to the shared area, so they will hear noise when others get up. The beds are a bit hard, and also a bit short, but we have seen this a few times in southern Europe.
Location was great with restaurants and shops only meters away. The atmosphere inside and outside is amazing. The living areas are generously proportioned. Matteo helped us with all of our questions and was a wonderful host.

Casa Scina is a beautifully restored house right in the heart of the old town, brilliant location, beautifully decorated with all mod cons, everything you need, and extremely comfortable beds. Matteo was extremely helpful with extra stuff like where to watch the Rugby World Cup final, parking, etc. I'd highly recommend this accommodation! It's stunning!

Just a perfect location near the piazza - less than 50 metres. Our host welcomed us & gave us a complete run through of the apartment & the region. Also helped with valet parking which was only 5 euros more than parking a long way away.

United KingdomThis place is outstanding particularly for the fabulous location to be within the heart of Ortegia. Ansolutely incredible - so convenient, spacious and unique. The place itself has tonnes of history and interesting architectural features. The hosts were so helpful. The owners daughter went out of her way to help us on multiple occasions suggesting where to visit etc. she kept in touch throughout our 5 day stay. We stayed in August, a family of 5 and our 3 teenagers were able to go in and out of the property into the local area very easily and safely even late at night . The owners were incredibly helpful on our last day with offering us a great option for our bags when we had to leave our bags somewhere. Absolutely loved this place. I fell in love with Ortegia and staying here was part of it. Thank you to our hosts and their daughter.

GermanySuper design work, but little things like the toilet flusher kept getting stuck, requiring to take off cover every time after flushing. Had a few roaches that came to visit, likely because there are restaurants around property. Loft bedroom lacks lights on the nightstand, you have to get up to turn on lights on the wall, hit my head a few times on the low-hanging beams in the dark. There are no windows to open besides two small window slots in guest room and bedroom. There is a window in the living room (up high), but apartment doesn't have a lot of natural day light coming in, nor can you let a breeze in, which requires you to operate the lights and AC around the clock.
Fantastic location, step out the door and fall right into restaurants and action. Design is wonderful, an open glass-covered old well inside the apartment, beam-covered loft, beautiful stone work, a bit like inside an Architecture magazine expo. Hosts were super nice and helpful. Great kitchen with all the utensils to cook bigger meals. Hosts helped us arrange for car parking thru a valet service, this worked better than expected, it does add EUR 20 per day but well worth it.
