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...).

AustraliaCentral location directly at Ballarò market and all major sites in Palermo easily reachable by foot. Bed is comfortable, room is clean and quite big for a city hotel. Lovely balcony to enjoy a glass of wine/ coffee and enjoy the bustling city. Just as information: there is no staff on site, but Fabio was very responsive and helpful via Whats App. Tourist Tax needs to be paid in cash and must be placed in a mailbox.

South AfricaJust note that there is no lift in the building, but this is not unusual for Sicily / Italy in general.
Very easy and convenient self check-in. Room had more space than I expected, good aircon and a coffee machine (a nice bonus) :) Plus everything was spotless, clean and tidy. Excellent location at the very top of the Ballaro street market, which I’m sure will be a highlight of your visit to Palermo. Thanks to Fabio for being so helpful, accommodating and very quick to respond!

CroatiaWe had a wonderful stay! The host was excellent – very kind, helpful, and always available. He gave us great recommendations on where to eat, where to park, and other useful tips that made our visit much easier. When we forgot our suitcase in the apartment, he was quick to assist us. We also asked for an iron, and he made sure it was in the apartment that same evening. Overall, we really appreciated his hospitality and would highly recommend staying here

New ZealandNothing, all perfect! Only thing is the little side streets around the hotel are a little dark and quiet at night if you are travelling alone, but felt totally safe just a heads up if you are arriving late at night alone
Great location, right beside the market and lovely balcony overlooking little side streets. Room and bathroom were clean and large, with everything we needed. Host was fabulous at sending instructions and recommendations too

United StatesThe surrounding area if you walk past the market, away from the old town center, is pretty rundown. But we did not need to go there at night.
Loved the location right at the edge of the Ballero Market. That may not be for everyone but we enjoyed it. Very close to the old town also.

United KingdomRoom was spotlessly clean and well appointed with furniture, comfortable bed, small fridge and a stocked coffee machine. Bathroom also as good. Small balcony was nice to sit and watch the market set up. Location is excellent, the Ballaro market by day is vibrant, noisy, chaotic! By night the immediate area is shut down and deserted, a five minute walk takes you to many options for cafe bars and restaurants. The major historical buildings are also close by. Communication with Fabio is clear and concise, it's a very slick operation. Full marks from me!!

United KingdomIt is meant to be a B&b. By definition it would mean having some sort of breakfast included. However, although there was a coffee machine which was good just for me (because my partner only drinks tea) there is no breakfast. This is the only things that we feel we can pick on because to be fair the owner has been great in trying to accommodate all our requests. Thank you for your hospitality!!!
Central, clean and very friendly and polite owner. He went above and beyond on all our requests. He sent us a very comprehensive list of restaurants and pizzerias and all the places were very good. The B&b is very central. Ideally located close to the main station but also most of the tourists attractions in the city centre. The bed was comfy and we were so blessed it had air conditioning because at night it was very hot. As a welcome the owner left two bottles of fresh water and a bottle of wine in the fridge. We were truly impressed by his hospitality and kindness. We are so very grateful to him 🙏😊
