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...).

ItalyNothing particular but I would recommend to offer a closed menu of food on the beach (eg. platter with salad, bruschettas, other tapas) at closed price for those who don’t want to sit in the restaurant like us - now beyond nuts and chips no food option. As well as I wouldn’t put extra cost for beyond hard boil eggs breakfast options considering the price for the room.
The hotel is very well designed and it makes you feel like being in a beautiful house The beach is very nice, quite with beautiful access to the sea The restaurant seating is just wow Walking distance to Ortigia Free parking The owner let us Sun protection cream the 1st day, it was much appreciated

United KingdomNothing - everything is perfect.
This place is an absolute gem. Beautiful boutique hotel, exceptional staff/service, and a private beach so beautiful it actually makes you want to cry! Incredible snorkelling just offshore too if you’re into snorkelling (I am, and this is the best snorkelling I’ve ever done in the Med. There are these beach protection rocks dropped just offshore (and just under the water so they don’t spoil the beautiful view) - and these structures provide shelter for tonnes of fish - it’s literally teaming with everything from grouper to moray eels. Literally incredible.

United StatesParking on weekends in the evening can be challenging. The resort's parking is part of a large public lot. On weekends beach goers and people going to restaurants and bars nearby fill the lot . We managed to find a spot eventually.
Musciara is a stunningly beautiful resort which has a private beach located in the heart of Siracuse. The resort has a sumptuous breakfsst buffet which you can enjoy sitting overlooking the Mediterranean. The staff are extremely attentive to your every need. They will recommend wonderful restaurants, arrange for your laundry or book you a massage on the beach. This is a 5 star resort in every way. Book here you will thoroughly enjoy your experience.

AustraliaIt is quite a walk onto the island, but having the private beach makes up for the location.
The private beach was an excellent place to unwind after a day out. Room and whole property were very luxurious. Breakfast had many choices, overlooking the beautiful ocean and Ortigia. Free car parking next to the property was also a big bonus.

United KingdomWhat an incredible find. Small, chic, gorgeous boutique hotel run by brother and sister, Laura and Salvatore. It is a 'resort' only in the true Italian sense (private beach with sheltered swimming - amazing!) and in every regard the service is intensely personal. A small team of lovely young people assist the owners and go way beyond the norm in their attention to detail. Stay here!

NetherlandsIt's a great location, but the prices for dinner make no sense. Way too high and the quality was not there...really not good, but you can tell they are trying, but for the price you can eat at some of the best restaurants in Ortigia. My suggestion would be too offer some simple snacks throughout the day, as people will go out for dinner anyway
Lovely owners , and young but nice staff and willing to help and do anything you ask. Private beach was great , and the terrace by our room Aqua 2 was wonderful. Breakfast was a nice selection of meats, cheeses and pastries. There was a mishap with one of my bags, and the owners handled it perfectly. We had a great stay.
