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.).

AustraliaDouble bed was 2 single beds pushed together. Felt like I was going to fall down between the mattresses..
Great Central location in Taormina. Car Parking was organised for me. Great Breakfast with panoramic view looking over the ocean. Quiet location at night.

SlovakiaFirst room we got was room on the ground floor with windows facing the main road. Definitely not suitable for light sleepers as the traffic was loud. Fortunately they had another room available for next night and we were moved to the 4th floor and then it was ok! Im very glad we could have moved. So try to ask for other room than ground floor if you are a light sleeper or pay more for the room with balcony/view.
Lovely small pension just few minutes from Taormina’s old center & upper station of chair lift which will get you down to the beach within few moments. Personel in this place is lovely as well and I also appreciated great variety of breakfast buffet, possibility to eat it outside in a very nice garden terrace and complimentary prossecco. Bed was also good and many pillow options available.

United StatesI would prefer a larger shower.
For us, the location was perfect. It was near enough to be able to walk to everything, but just far enough away from all the crowds. There were several good restaurants just down the street. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomThe hotel is charming - homely and very 'not corporate'. However the chairs in the room could have been more comfortable and the shower unit definitely needs updating.
Location was superb - really could not have been more convenient. Views were fabulous. Breakfast was lovely and sundowner drinks on the terrace was a must. Staff could not have been more helpful.

Very friendly and comfortable small hotel. Nice public areas including a small garden in which it was lovely to relax and enjoy a drink. The view from our terrace was amazing. The staff are brilliant.

GermanyBusy streets all around. People with light sleep may have difficulty to find rest at night. I could manage well with ear protection.
Great staff, warm and highly supportive with everything we needed under difficult health conditions. Beautiful terraces with a stunning view and a green, peaceful patio in the middle of town. Thank you!

CanadaThe only issue we had was the lack of on site parking but we were provided with an alternative secured parking lot a short walk away.
Unfortunately I don't recall the name of the two young ladies at the front reception desk but they were very kind, welcoming and informative from the time we arrived until we left. The room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast on the terrace was beautiful.

United KingdomThe room keys are kept on a rack that is accessible to the guests, and anyone else that could wander in. We took our room key from here without staff present at one point. The rack should be controlled.
Beautiful purpose built hotel with thick stone walls that keep the place cool. The courtyard and breakfast room are tranquil in a very tourist busy town. The staff were all very nice and happy to help with anything. We also got a free upgrade to a room with a terrace!
