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.).

Czech RepublicThe room is a bit small for three people.
Our room had one big bed and one small sofa bed for one person, bathroom and big balcony. The location in front of the beach is great, 10 min walk and you are swimming. Is also close to the funicular that travels to the historical center.

AustraliaThe room is outdated and fine for one or two nights but nothing special or luxurious. Worth it for the views though!
Great location and great views of Isola Bella - very close to the beach and has a minimart closeby for drinks etc. It's worth upgrading to a balcony because sitting there with some drinks and looking out onto the ocean was so relaxing and the best part of the hotel. They let us leave our luggage there when we checked out, too. Staff were friendly.

Romania1. Parking is a bit far away they say 150m. Actualy it is 350m so when carring a troley it is not so nice. 2. The room is quite basic so do not expect it to be fancy. 3. The elevator is very very slow
1. Location was great just in front of Isola Bella. 2. Room with a balcony and a beautiful view of the island.

RomaniaComplimentary coffee and 1 bottle of water would have been nice, but nothing major to complain about. The sidewalk in overall Taormina is pretty much non-existent. If you stay by the beach just expect this regardless of where you stay.
We spent 2 nights at Mendolia Hotel. The room, and the hotel overall, has a large terrace, from where you can enjoy Isola Bella. The beach entrance is right across the street. There are some small grocery stores and plenty of restaurants nearby. The nearby beach is both private and public. We enjoyed both of them the same. The beach was stony but pretty clean. We received fresh towels every day. The personnel was very nice and accommodating. No complaints. Accessible. We arrived directly from Catania airport, took a direct bus (Etna) and walked for about 15 min. The Cablecar that takes you up to Taormina is nearby also (6 euro/direction).

SpainParking is available for additional price near the hotel but during our stay in high tourism season the parking was very full and quite stresful to park there.
The location of the hotel is very convinient if you want to visit Isola Bella and relax on the beach there - just few minutes away down the stairs. Clean and nice room, amazing view from the balcony.

United KingdomIt was loud and I don’t mean loud because the main road, but other guests were incredibly loud. The chairs moved around would cause so much noise upstairs (I was in room 121) that I feel like something should be put underneath each chair leg, something soft to prevent the sharp noise waking you up in the middle of the night, or early morning. People coughing and slamming doors. The gate was super loud. I know it’s a heavy door, but again - I tried to make as little noise closing it late in the evening/night, and some people would just SLAM it. I did a lot of walking g around, sightseeing and each night I was hoping for a better sleep, but that never came. Shame.

United KingdomParking was a little confusing; we managed to park down at the bottom near the cable car at 15 Euros a day (we were there for two). Not a massive inconvenience but it was raining and then seeing when we arrived so had to haul our things up the (short) hill in the rain. No fault of the hotel of course - the entrance is on the main road and parking limited there (we were told that after 8pm we probably would get a space nearby on the road for free but chose not to wait)
Beautiful room (lots of steps to get there but there is a lift and we preferred the exercise!) with a view to die for; we had a fridge to keep water cool and a balcony where we could have an extra glass of wine to end the evening. Beautiful - a lovely memory, and the staff were lovely too - thank you for a fabulous experience!

SlovakiaThere was a boiling cattle for making tea but no glasses or mugs,only plastic cups. There was quite a noise from the street as there is a frequent road in front of the hotel (on the side where the balcony was situated), but it got quiet later in the evening. And last thing,which is not about the hotel,just a recommendation:if you are arriving to Taormina by train,I do not recommend walking to the hotel as I did. On google maps it said only 35 minutes,which was right,but there is practically no sidewalk and you need to use the roadside which felt pretty dangerous at times. I suggest using bus or a taxi for this part of the road.
The view from the balcony was stunning, just as promised. Curtains especially thick so the room was nicely dark at night. They were cleaning the room every day. Five minutes walk to the beach at the Isola Bella. Many restaurants and small markets on the street. The staff was very helpful, got a taxi for me as I was leaving early in the morning.
