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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

United StatesStaff, particularly Nathalie, were incredible and very attentive! She was very accommodating about early check-in and storing luggage upon departure. Additionally, she provided great food recommendations for the area and made a great cappuccino that paired well with the breakfast provided! Room came with a nice blanket and a mini fridge, which made it great for storing water bottles.

This is on the perfect location, in the main town but off the Main Street so quiet enough. My room was a little small but perfect for one. The staff were amazing, I arrived early and there was no problem accessing my room. Breakfast was great and the lady serving was lovely. Couldn’t fault it!

United StatesBe aware that there is no parking at the property, which is clear from the listing. If you are driving you will need to find parking on the street and haul your luggage to the property. This wasn't a problem for us as we were planning to turn our rental car in after checking in.
Close to attractions like the public gardens and the Teatro Antica, also several good restaurants nearby. Breakfast was very good, and there is even an elevator for luggage. Quiet neighborhood, comfortable bed.

United StatesVery friendly and welcoming hosts, with great restaurant recommendations and helpful advice about airport transfer options. Central location, close to restaurants and easy for taxi pick up. Room was clean and welcoming. Felt very safe and comfortable as a solo female traveler. AC worked well, and keeping the window closed blocked street noise well. Would definitely stay here again.

Location was excellent...within easy walking distance of the gardens, the Greek ampitheatre and the main street. Closeby were a number of restaurants. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Breakfast was top quality. The room was cleaned daily and spotless. Air conditioning worked well as it was hot outside. If you are looking for a great value less touristy place to stay I would highly recommend B&B Tancredi

NetherlandsA clean, well equipped place with a stunning view of the bay and Etna. Very friendly staff too and the location is just perfect. A big shout out to Salvatore for coming to our rescue when the train to the airport was cancelled due to a strike and to the lovely breakfast lady serving us a good meal and coffee each morning. If its available, spend the few extra bucks for the top appartement. The view is just breathtaking.

The B&B was comfortable and most convenient. Breakfasts were varied with fresh, delicious choices. Location is less than 10 minute walks to Greek Theater, the cable car, main bus station, and Corso Umberto. Natalie advised us of inexpensive parking 1 block away, and Lena and staff were like family. The magnificent sea view from our terrace was amazing, and we plan to return!

CanadaThere was nothing at all to dislike - we had a short but wonderful stay at Re Tancredi.
Location was excellent, right in the heart of Taormina. Breakfast was very good, the staff were wonderful. Our host, Salvatore, was very friendly and exceptionally helpful, even arranging a wonderful place for us to stay a second night (and delivering our bags) in Taormina when we spontaneously decided to stay longer and there was no room left at Re Tancredi.
