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...).

LithuaniaWe had an amazing stay at Gianluca home during our vacation in Catania. The location is ideal-right in the heart of the old town, with everything just a short walk away. The room and the bathroom were spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. It's clear that the owner, Gianluca, pays great attention to detail, which really made the experience feel special. He was also extremely friendly and welcoming, giving us great recomendation on what to visit and where to eat-tips that really helped us. Breakfast was another highlight:we had a great selection to choose from. So from start to finish, everything was perfect. We truly felt at home and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Catania!

SerbiaThe host is hospitable. Apartment clean and tidy, nicely organized. The location is great for all those who want to be close to the city center (there are mainly all events, bars, cafes, restaurants, souvenirs), and you can also walk to the beach if you like to walk, and you have an option and transport. All recommendations for this apartment!

United KingdomNothing. Lift was great. Might be hard to find if driving.
The host was the best bit. Gianluca and Gina were great. Could not do enough to help us. Picked us up from the airport at nominal cost. Fresh fruit everyday. Super clean. Location was 50 metres from quiet restaurants and bars. 150 metres to elephant statue ., cathedral and castle. Wonderful and a pleasure to meet them.

MaltaI had an excellent experience at Gianluca’s place in Catania. The location is perfect, close to the center but still in a quiet area. The breakfast was a lovely surprise: very complete and varied, with ham, cheese, yogurt, fresh bread for toasting, fruit, coffee, everything nicely presented. Gianluca was kind and attentive from the very beginning, always available to help and offer great recommendations that made my stay even more enjoyable. I felt truly welcomed and would definitely recommend staying here.

CanadaThere was a sewer smell in our bathroom during the stay, and the host mentioned experiencing the same issue in his own room. He explained that it might have been caused by temporary maintenance work.
Check-in was easy, and communication went smoothly. The host provided lots of helpful information about the area. The room looked exactly like the pictures—clean and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and had everything we needed. The shower had strong water pressure, which was especially refreshing after traveling in summer.The location is excellent—close to all the main attractions and restaurants. In the morning, we visited the famous fish market and watched how they cut and sell yellowfin tuna and sward fish, which was a unique and fascinating experience.

BulgariaThe only thing that can be improved is the night it is very dark in the yard and in front of the elevator and it’s very easy to hear the other rooms. However this didn’t affect our stay

FranceLuca's apartment is located in a residential area in the center of Catania, which has the characteristics of typical Sicilian housing. It is easy to walk to the market and shopping streets, bars and restaurants. Luca is a very friendly person. After we booked the apartment, he introduced us to the travel guide of Catania and provided us with a lot of useful travel information. He also provided airport pick-up and customized tours to surrounding cities such as Etna Volcano, Taormina, Siracusa and other towns. My brother and I participated in the tour led by him. The journey was very pleasant. We went to many places. This way of traveling is closer to the local culture and life atmosphere, which makes people feel comfortable. Luca's travel arrangements are very thoughtful! We were also lucky to eat the seafood he cooked! It made us unforgettable. This is the best seafood we have eaten in Sicily!

NetherlandsThe key they gave me wasn’t working well and it was a bit of hassle to reach Gianluca but his father was very kind and he tried to help his best. The main entrance was really dark after the sunset, would have been good to put some light there.
The location of this property is really good because the food streets and Duomo is 2 mins from this. Gianluca was very helpful and responsive. I had a very comfortable stay. Packaged breakfast was provided and refilled, other issues that needed fixing also were taken care of as they occurred. I wish those were fixed already but overall it was okay
