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.).

New ZealandA beautiful gardened resort with fabulous staff. Room was beautiful with amazing view of Mt Etna. The most extensive breakfast - and absolutely fabulous. Dinner was very special.

BelgiumBreakfast selection was almost all sweets. On day two, we did find some darker breads and cold cuts on the buffet. With the luxury comes a certain clientel, whose Mercedes limo driver thinks they can cut you off and make you wait because you only drive a little rental Audi. But this is not the property’s doing of course. Except for the view of Etna, you do feel a little bit locked in at the pool area. No sea view or wide landscapes.
This property exudes luxury and refinement. It is nicely located with a beautiful garden surrounding it. Everything is well maintained and functional. The staff is very friendly, fluent in English and ready to help. The room and bathroom were very sizeable and comfortable.

United KingdomThe location is a bit out of the way, but it has the advantage that you don’t have to fight your way out of a built-up area to get to where you want to go. A good base for exploring Mt Etna. Used the pool, but to be honest in April it was still too cool to stay in for long.

GermanyIf one would want to complain at all, one could mention that the current restaurant concept is too “limited” as it only provides super “Michelin-Star” like food, but does not offer a normal lunch and dinner menue.
Although embedded in an area almost “offroad” and with railroad nearby, this is a nice hotel in a Lovely surrounding in the middle of a tree nursery, green with of a bunch of plants and palm trees and flowers, a nice boutique style hotel. Interesting architecture, friendly staff. The separate suites are quite Bauhaus style and may be a little too uncharming, even if they have their own jacuzzi (which was quite cool)

United KingdomEverything was amazing.
I really recommend for a couple who loves gourmet experiences and want to relax in a quiet and beautiful view of Etna and the Sea Coast at the same time, especially if you want to be away of the crowded city. I really enjoyed the experience and the food was superb. Breakfast as well was really outstanding.

United KingdomOnly things i didnt like 1) outdoor pool isnt heated 2) the extra bed for the kids is very flimsy and uncomfortable 3) there is only 1 restaurant which is michelin star- so you cant eat there casually for dinner with the family, which meant we had to drive every night for dinner. There are lovely restaurants nearby in Riposto though
Beautiful hotel close to Taormina and Etna volcano. Large rooms, comfortable. The staff was amazing, they were available 24/7 to book restaurants and activities locally for us, which was amazing.

The owners and the sons of this property have created much more than a hotel. You are surrounded by their plantation of exotic trees and flowers. There is visual beauty and interest that creates an experience you will enjoy and never forget.
