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...).

AustraliaThe pool was a great size and had a fantastic view, but it was not available for early morning swimming (laps) or beyond 6pm. It was common to get back from a long and hot afternoon and be refused access to the pool for a cool down dip. As it is daylight (and hot) for another 2-3hrs, this seemed a shame - the pool was a big reason for booking the hotel in summer.
The room was large and comfortable with a fabulous balcony and view of the sea. The staff were always friendly and went out of their way to help. Breakfast was amazing! The location was perfect - just a short walk (up a nearby staircase and through a stunning communal garden) to the main street of Taormina and the beautiful greek theatre.

AustraliaThe only thing we didn't love was the breakfast - it was very average and basic, and if you wanted to order anything fresh (i..e eggs) it cost upwards of 20 euro. For such a nice hotel, I expected a better breakfast but we still absolutely loved our stay!
Incredible hotel. Amazing modern rooms - we had the most amazing view overlooking the water and absolutely loved sitting on our balcony which was stunning. The pool is beautiful and big, and it's really easy to get into town - it took us around 8 minutes to walk!

United KingdomNothing! It was incredibly good.
Stunning hotel! Staff unbelievably helpful. Room was tidied and cleaned regularly throughout the day. Luxurious hotel, very comfortable, but managed to keep an intimate small hotel feel. Food out of this world, both breakfast and dinner. Extensive wine list with helpful sommelier. Really useful to have the free shuttle into town. Best hotel we have ever stayed at and we have been to many all over the world.

Beautiful, newly renovated hotel in a great location! We loved our 4 days in Taormina. Our room was spacious with all the necessary amenities! We had a really nice sized balcony with amazing views of the Ionian Sea. But what makes this hotel amazing is the Staff! Truly the kindest, most welcoming hosts we ever had! Shout out to Virginia at the front desk for making us feel so welcomed and her exceptional work ethic! Breakfast in the gorgeous terrace was great! The shuttle between the hotel and Taormina was a lifesaver! Don’t hesitate to book this hotel. Can’t wait till we come back.

Location and view superb. A real touch of old Italian and Sicilian luxury throughout. Rooms were amazing and the free hotel shuttle up and down to Taormina was a great surprise. The spa treatments are also excellent
