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...).

AustraliaIt would have been better if we could have had a ground floor room but that was my fault for not checking
Spacious room, nice balcony, great bath. The pool and pool bar looked good though we didn’t try them out

NetherlandsAs others mentioned, the accommodation is away from the town up on a hill. It is fine to walk to town as it is downhill and during the day they have a free tuk tuk shuttle. Although, after 7pm you are on your own for getting back to the hotel. Since most all of the dinner places are in town you either have to hike back up the hill to the accommodation or get a taxi for about 12 euros. So I suggest you plan ahead and factor in these taxi costs to your stay.
Lovely accommodation. The pool was awesome, it was quiet, and the rooms were nice and clean. The breakfast was also very nice. Perfect to spend a day lounging at the pool in the sun with a book.

United States of AmericaNothing that we did not like.
We booked a room at Villa Toto at literally the last minute and am so glad we did. The place is amazing. So peaceful and quiet. Beautiful views of the sea from the infinity pool. So close to the beautiful town with so many excellent restaurants, bars and shops. If we had more time we would have stayed longer. The staff is as good as it gets. So friendly, welcoming and helpful. From a scale of 1-10, Villa Toto gets an 11! Do not hesitate in an instant to stay at this gorgeous little boutique hotel.

SwitzerlandRoom cleaning during the stay is not thorough, not very hygienic and can do with some improvement - wipe wet every day including corners, bathroom and shower walls. Breakfast area should not be considered as a dog toilet - even though, or maybe because we are dog persons, we consider it highly unhygienic to have dog excrements next to the breakfast table. It happened twice in 5 days, we pointed it out there and am sure that little Jimmy will be trained to spare this part of the property
The two ladies in charge of breakfast and the poolside bar went over and beyond fantastic service. Reception was friendly and welcoming, I was allowed to take two of these fantastic organically grown lemons home this morning. Room was spacious, air on worked well, shower was powerful. A little more privacy with the bathroom facilities would have been nice. The washing basin was next to the bed and the toilet only had a glass door with a gap. The bath tub was on a decking I’m the bedroom which was a nuce gadget, even though we did not use it. The pool area is nice, enough sunbeds and umbrellas, clean enough, quiet and lovely views in a lovely garden. Parking is available safely on site. Old town is in walking distance (15-20 min), but shuttle is offered by hotel. All in all, highly recommendable.

United KingdomBeautifully stylish and relaxing hotel up in the hills with a gorgeous pool and gardens/terraces and fantastic staff. Walkable down into Cefalu (10 mins) and just about walkable back at night (up hill, hard in the heat). But during the day when it's hot you can just summon their TukTuk to come and pick you up. A great service. This is the best hotel we stayed in across our holiday in Sicily. Highly recommended.

United KingdomI literally can't really comment on anything I didn't really like.
Stayed here with my partner for 5 nights and had a really nice time! Staff were welcoming and friendly the whole time. The resort is beautiful. It offers really nice views of the mountains and sea, and is just perfect if you want to lounge around by the pool in the daytime. We loved the pool and the hot tub. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves! Drinks at the bar were very nice, and we had lunch by the pool almost every day - the menu is simple, but it is exactly the type of food I like! The rooms were lovely and clean and had literally no complaints about it. Air conditioning was very cold when needed, TV was great and had Netflix etc (we had one rainy morning) The Tuk Tuk taxi down to the main town and back was a very nice touch also! A simple WhatsApp message and almost immediate reply, and you could jump in the tuk tuk and be in the main town in less than 5 minutes! My only comment would be to make sure that if you book this resort, you are aware of the walk back up the hill - it is a steep one! We would certainly love to come and stay at Villa Toto again and hope we can in the future 😀

Villa Toto was perfectly located for us - allowing for ease of parking with close proximity to the Cefalù old town. The hotel offers a shuttle service or it’s a 15 minute steep downhill walk. Note that the shuttle service ends at 19:00 so it’s a steep walk back up the hill after dinner - which was fine for us but some may prefer a taxi home. It’s a small property so not overcrowded and access to lovely pool / bar area and terrace. Rooms were good size , clean and well equipped.

Just the perfect setting away from the hustle and bustle of Cefalù centre. The room was comfortable and the pool area beautiful. Breakfast had plenty of variety and is taken outside on a pretty patio area. The staff are all extremely helpful and friendly. They offer a free Ape (Italian tuk tuk) to drop you off in the centre. Would highly recommend

United States of AmericaThe only hitch for us was the bed situation- with one side so close to the floor it was difficult to get up. I would also recommend a table in the bathroom to place toiletries, and hooks for clothing.
