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...).

Care and attention to detail with the things provided almost as though you’re in a 5 star hotel. Anita also made some typical Sicilian treats as a welcome for us. She greeted us punctually and showed us round the premises.

United StatesThe quirky elevator was good for luggage but we used the steps to get in and out. There was a noisy neighbor above us that would move chairs late into the night.
Well cared for apartment located in the center of town. Anita is so gracious. She picked us up from the train station and dropped us off when our stay ended. She gifted us delicious cookies and an amazing berry tart. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. They have a washing machine so we were able to do laundry, which was wonderful as the weather was very hot!

Slovakiathe apartment is perfectly located: restaurants, shops, market, the bay, the beach - everything is near, the train station is 12min walk (also the bus station) which is perfect if you want to explore the area by bus or train as the towns nearby has a lot to offer. Anita has picked us up at the train station the day we have arrived as we took train from Catania and drove us to the accommodation with her husband and presented the apartment to us. Everything was up to our expectations, the place was very clean and neat and smelled lovely :) Anita has brought us cookies she had made herself and they were absolutely delicious. I would recommend staying here.

United StatesNothing, well we did not like we had to leave.
The apartment is comfortable, very clean and well decorated for a vacation visit to Ortigia. The location is exceptional, you can walk to every where in the island. In addition, the owner Anita is so courteous she picked us up at the out of town parking lot and brought us to the apartment so we would not have to be pulling our luggage all around town. When we got to the apartment she had a person bring our luggage’s to the apartment. The same was true when we departed.

The owner and staff were friendly! Big space, it was truly comfortable for the 3 of us. I really appreciated the included espresso machine and espresso, made getting up and starting our day so easy. Having an elevator was much needed as we traveled with my grandparents and they needed it. The apartment included info and recommendations which made our trip so much easier! Will definitely book again the next time I come to Ortigia.

United KingdomThere is no outside space but we knew that when we booked.
Anita was super kind & collected us from the bus terminal in Syracuse. The apartment is a great size, in a building on one of the main streets in Ortigia. It is extremely well appointed with a good size bedroom, walk in wardrobe, separate sitting room etc the photos don’t do it justice, a true home from home. Anita left us the most delicious home baked cake & even offered to return us to the station when we left. We loved it !

IrelandWe would have loved a balcony, but not possible at this location obviously! That being said, we had so many cafes, gelateria and restaurants on our doorstep, it was not a deal breaker by any stretch.
The apartment we had was fantastic. There is an elevator in the building. The apt was a great size, very comfortable bed, kitchen, dining and couch/seating area, walk-in wardrobe, great sized bathroom. The location is amazing, in Ortigia, close to everything, the food market, Apollo, Diana's fountain, pedestrian streets full of restaurants and shops, two supermarkets within 2 mins walk. We could walk to couple of small beaches and we would recommend this accommodation to anyone. We were met by Anita who was amazing, very friendly and helpful, she gave us a great recommendation for a restaurant on our first night, and walked us there! and she brought us to the bus for our return to Catania airport. We will return.

AustraliaNothing - it was all perfect!
This apartment was the best we have encountered. It was spotless, with lots of space and had everything we needed. Anita was a wonderful host. She took the initiative and organised a vehicle pass for us so that we wouldn’t be fined for entering any restricted zone. She met us at the property so we could unload our luggage and then escorted us to the parking station. Any inquiry we had was quickly answered. The breakfast pastries were outstanding. The apartment block had a rooftop terrace overlooking Siracusa - great for a sunset drink! We could not fault this place and would gladly stay here again.
