Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

GermanyOld building. but you don't have any other choice if you want to stay at palermo old city. A little difficult to drive there, almost impossible if you have a big car. Too many locks to enter the house.
Very close to city center, 2nd floor, very spatius. Renovated. Kind and helpful staff. Very important the existence of the garage.

SloveniaBed could be better. It creaks when someone turns around.
The apartment is located in an excellent location where many of the main attractions of Palermo are within walking distance. The apartment is very spacious and has everything a family or a single person needs. It is bright with high ceilings so it is very airy, making you feel comfortable. It is very well secured so you will feel very safe. A special elevator makes it easy to carry your luggage from the courtyard to the apartment. The owner, Mr. Fluvio, contacted us before we arrived in Palermo and advised us on the easiest way to get from the airport to the apartment. He also gave us tips on what to see, what food to try, where to eat, etc. He is very friendly and accommodating so it is not hard to call him if you need anything. For breakfast there are some croissants, jams and pieces of bread in the apartment. This is for basic if you are hungry right after waking up. Otherwise, you'd better walk a few meters from the apartment to the nearby bakeries, pastry shops or other places where you can get excellent desserts or savory dishes for breakfast. There is also a coffee maker in the apartment, which is very welcome. Overall a great apartment, in a great location and with a friendly owner.

Roberta who welcomed us was very nice, reactive and helpful. There is parking which is cost 20 Euro per day. Location - near to every main attraction in Palermo. I really sorry for only one night stay.

NetherlandsI was asked to make a 30% bank transfer beforehand otherwise my booking would not be guaranteed. This set me a bit off and even made me a bit skeptical because it is not common practice on Booking.com- it even made me doubt it it was a scam of some sort, especially since I never received any confirmation of the transfer. But as all the reviews were positive I went ahead and turned out everything went well. Please just note this aspect and don't be surprised when it happens. Also plan to have some cash to pay on-site, no cards accepted. Yes there is breakfast, but don't expect amazing breakfast even though it says 'breakfast'. It is quite basic (industrial prepacked biscuits, brioche & jam), but again not surprising given the price and that it's an apartment and not a hotel; it was fine for us because I had read the reviews and my expectations were not high.
I was pleasantly surprised! The apartment is quite big, basic as you would expect for this price but very comfortable, clean and really has all you need. The location was just amazing. It's located on a very nice square with an authentic restaurant where locals also go (highly recommend) while at the same time being very soundproof, you wouldn't hear anything from inside although it's very lively and vibrant outside. And it's just a few min walk to the main touristy area. We also really appreciated the check-in process. Roberta who welcomed us was very nice, reactive and drove along with us to the place to make sure that we would avoid the ZTL with our car (area where you have to pay to drive around). Really nothing I can complain about regarding the apartment!

United KingdomBathroom does not have a window and is quite dark Toilet seat was way to small for toilet and was made of a soft absorbent material - not very nice or hygienic The mezzanine lift broke down when I was in it. The owner knew it was not working perfectly but suggested I get in it anyway. I then got stuck for about 10 minutes, not a nice experience. Just used the stairs after that.

Very good location, in the old city center area, very close to restaurants, pubs, usual tourist spots, etc. The guy which is managing the property, Pietro, is nice and helpful.

SwedenFirst thing I asked for when booking was a washing machine and it was broken on arrival, also I specified two different rooms and the host gave us one room as they said two people means two beds not two rooms, however this isn't really their decision to make, me and the friend I was travelling with wanted private rooms and I specified two rooms.
The apartment itself was very large and nice, also each room had an AC, the rating would be much higher if they didn't miss the two main requests I had when booking this place, as they were why I booked in the first place.
