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 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 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.).

CanadaThere is a resort/hotel at the lower part of the hill that hosts events which were so loud. The music was blaring on 2 of our 3 night stay until midnight so our sleep was disrupted ! There was no advance warning from the staff and no apologies. Pedestrian access to the hotel is very poor because of narrow roads with no sidewalks.
The location was beautiful with excellent views all around the property. The breakfast was the most authentic and delicious we have ever had.

AustraliaLoved it all
Had a great stay at Hotel Bel Soggiorno. While the hotel was old style, our room was clean, comfortable and very functional. Loved all the art and Sicilian artefacts which must have been dusted every day. A very extensive, tasty breakfast was offered every day and the staff were friendly and helpful.

MexicoThe only thing in the entire stay i could complain about is the bed, it was an old spring mattress that was not very comfortable, you could sleep in it so it was not a huge issue but definitely could improve considering that all the other installations are amazing and really taken car off. Location is good though you do have to walk up some big stairs and streets to reach the main touristic area (like 10-15 min maybe), but can't complain on this since the price of the hotel is quite affordable compared to the hotels closer to the main streets.
Amazing view from the room and in general from the hotel terraces, not sure if all rooms have a view to the ocean but mine did and truly it was incredible. The installations are great they feel like a higher star ranked hotel, the attention from staff is very good and the breakfast is the best i had in my trip to Italy. Considering the price for everything in Taormina i consider this hotel as a great cost-benefit option

AustraliaThe wifi in our room didn’t work for the first few days of our stay and when we mentioned it to the staff they were a bit rude and unhelpful at first. The staff were friendly enough but not very chatty. The room was quite small and could definitely do with a freshen up as it was quite dated.
The location of the property is amazing, the views are beautiful and it is very close to the town. The beach is also within walking distance. The hotel is beautifully decorated and feels very traditional. Breakfast is also lovely with lots of variety. We would definitely recommend this hotel!

United KingdomDecoration in the rooms were a little dated. Steep uphill walk to get into the town centre - which in the August heat was quite challenging.
The views from our room (sea view) were incredible. We had an amazing view of Etna as it erupted and the bay. Breakfast was wonderful with lots of choice and gorgeous terrace to eat it on. Breakfast - like most in Italy - was sweet focused as opposed to savoury but we didn’t mind. Didn’t have too much interaction with hotel staff but they were friendly and helpful whenever we needed them.
