Each 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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

We loved staying at il Palchetto! Silvia was a great and really accommodating host and I would most definitely recommend staying here. The room and bathrooms were clean and well kept, within close walking distance to bustling parts of the city, and still quiet for a good nights sleep. Silvia had some great recommendations for places to go, eat, and drink and made our stay in Palermo super easy!

AustraliaI loved this B&B - perfect location on a quiet street, but only minutes to all the main sights. My room was really stylish and comfortable, and everything was of the highest quality. The pictures don’t really do it justice. Silvia was a wonderful host and very hospitable. Breakfasts were varied and delicious. I appreciated having cooked eggs for a small additional charge. I loved that Silvia really cares about sustainability - chilled filtered water was available in glass bottles and the shower gel and shampoo was in large refillable bottles instead of those little disposable plastic ones that are terrible for the environment. I wish more B&B owners were as environmental minded as Silvia. Amazing value for money.

Silvia has created a wonderful haven right in the heart of the old centre of Palermo. Just moments from busy market alleys yet only a few minutes walk from the best shopping streets. Our room was beautifully decorated and spacious. Very safe and peaceful and a two minute walk from secure paid car parking which Silvia was kind enough to book for us. She was extremely attentive and helpful. Breakfast was great. Roomy shower and strong water pressure.

AustraliaThe host was incredibly sweet and helpful, the position of the BnB was central, just down the street from the Theatre, there was a side street that looks a little dodgy but it’s completely safe. The rooms were spacious, the bathrooms were wonderful and the breakfast with homemade cakes and fresh fruit was a wonderful start to the day.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing, everything was perfect.
Since I was a solo traveler, Silvia was amazing in making sure I had a transfer as I had a late flight and would be checking in after the check in time. The room was soo beautiful, I had Rosalia (the yellow one) but you can pick what room you prefer (subject to availability I presume). The breakfast was very Italian and perfect for me. She had some homemade jams, cakes, savoury breakfast aswel as gluten free options. The coffee was delicious too. I was very impressed with the fact that my room was cleaned every morning without me even asking (I personally didn’t mind if it wasn’t cleaned but I was very appreciative). Overall I definitely recommend this place, esp for solo travelers. Oh and the location was PERFECT. Very close to the centre yet tucked away so that you can’t hear the crowds and loud nights. Definitely will be coming back :)

United StatesThere is a single negative thing about this property.
This place is EXCEPTIONAL! There is not a single bad thing to say about this place. Silva is the perfect host and her property is as perfect as she is. Her recommendations for restaurants were spot on, as well as her breakfasts. I have traveled far and wide and this is one of the best B&Bs I have ever stayed at. The location was also excellent.

PolandThere's really nothing to complain about, it's a great place, nicely located. You just need to remember that if you choose a small B&B, you cannot expect the same experience as in a big hotel--for me and my 80-year-old Mom it was in many ways better; for others it might not be. Depends on what you like.
Il Palchetto is a lovely, small B&B, designed with care (cute themed decor in the rooms) and cosy. It's located close (walking distance) or very close to all major sightseeing points of the city, on a quiet street. Our room (Oliva) was comfortable--great to rest after full days of walking and sightseeing; it has a big bathroom. The continental breakfasts included in the price were fresh and tasty. A fridge, kettle, coffee-maker, assorted teas and coffee, as well as melba toast are available all day in the common area--which is super convenient. Everything was sparkling clean. The host, Silvia, is very accommodating, communicative, and just a nice and helpful person.

The room and all round is super clean. Amazing really. If i come back I will stay again.
