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.).

Beautiful hotel, situated in the middle of a citrus orchard, an oasis of peace and nature, with a wonderful view of the sea and an infinity pool. It is located half an hour from the airport, and from the hotel you can reach all the attractions on the east coast in less than an hour (Taormina, Etna, Catania, Siracusa, etc.). The services are exceptional, all the hotel staff are very kind and try to fulfill all your wishes. The breakfast is very varied and tasty, including savory products, eggs, omelettes, cheese, etc. We did not try the hotel spa or dinner at the hotel.

A great boutique hotel, at a very high level, large, clean rooms, a great swimming pool, and a wonderful restaurant, an excellent breakfast and you can have very good dinners as well. Wonderful staff, welcoming and very helpful, Andrea is excellent. Very good location for travelers with a car, close to Catania and Taormina, very convenient to the mount Etna , (highly recommended) there are great authentic restaurants nearby. We had a great time, we will gladly come back next time as well.

From the day we have arrived until our departure, we were welcomed warmley by the whole staff. My husband got sick for one day and they took so well care, brought us everything we have asked for, checked in on us hourly and even got us a doctor. The whole hotel is an eyecatcher, located between Etna and the sea - breathtaking views. A marvellous pool area, everything overlooking the sea. Food was also good and the rooms were very comfortable. If you Lack something, the staff will make sure to fulfill all your needs. This was by far a unique experience and we will definatley return.

MaltaNothing - all was perfect. Maybe a bar by the pool area would be ideal.
If you want to relax, then this is the place you must visit! All the staff were superb - we had a flight delay and arrived late at the resort, but we found Andrea still waiting for us and surprisingly they gave us a room upgrade to a suite :) He's a charming person. Then there was Daniela who prepared the delicious breakfast every day and Gianvito who served us dinner at the restaurant and drinks by the pool. I'm a food lover and Chef Alessia was "grande" - all food was super delicious, and she does the best mojitos! The ladies in charge of housekeeping kept this place and rooms really clean. Pool and garden area are tranquil and very well kept. I will surely re-visit this place.

United KingdomThere were a few things that could have been improved: 1. TLC around the property. There were a few umbrellas by the pool that were broken. The toaster at breakfast broke in our fist day and did not get fixed. 2. The restaurant is overpriced compared to the food options you can find in walking (5 min) distance. The coperta was £20 as compared to £6-8 in the nearby restaurants. The portions are small and the food is not amazing. We ate there on the first night and that was it. 3. The SPA facility is not included in the price of the stay and has limited options. There are small changes that can be made to improve the experience overall.
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel very much. It is a beautiful hotel, with a great pool. The staff are amazing and the cleanliness of the facilities is top notch. It is a small, family friendly hotel, which we enjoyed very much. The breakfast was good as well. All in all, we had a very enjoyable experience.

AustraliaIt was a bit overpriced; the dishes at the restaurant were quite expensive for their quality and they charge you a coperta (cover charge). This was high compared to other restaurants in Sicily but it shouldn't even apply when you are already staying at the hotel!
The facilities overall and the grounds were beautiful. The pool was really good for young kids (it has a very large walled shallow area) and the view over the ocean was beautiful. The breakfast was quite extensive and really good.

SwitzerlandThe breakfast was on the smaller side, but rather like this then with too much food which has to be thrown away. The room safe could have been bigger. Storage space for clothes was also on the smaller side but okay.
The staff were all very friendly and we were welcomed from the hotel director due to our late arrival. The room was big, in good condition and located near to the pool and breakfast. The hotel was located outside of the city which gave it a quite and peaceful country vibe which we enjoyed. Parking was close to the hotel room. We enjoyed the breakfast with local products and a good view. The pool was also relatively big and with many berths. Overall a very good experience which should also be expected comparing the price.
