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.).

GermanyIf you're a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs. The garbage collection comes in the early morning hours (as almost everywhere 😁)
The host Antonella was very kind and welcoming. The room is basic, exactly as shown in the picture. It's part of a lovely and well lived in home where you can freely use the kitchen and communal balcony with lovely sea views. The room and communal area were very clean and fresh towels and bedsheets could be requested at all times. There's a fan in the room and free beach towels and umbrellas to borrow during your stay. Communication was easy, either in person or via WhatsApp. I felt very safe and comfortable and will definitely be back next time I'm in Sicily! 💚

New ZealandThe only downside was our room didn’t have AC just a fan - which we knew going in so nothing on the host but summer heat made it unbearable. Would recommend booking one of the rooms with aircon :)
The hosts were so lovely and accomodating. Complimentary snacks and filtered water were amazing. They were so kind and helped us, felt like a home away from home. Location was excellent - couldn’t be better! Balcony was beautiful and fully equipped kitchen was so handy.

United KingdomIt was hotter than usual when I was there, so the lack of AC made sleeping a bit difficult. There was a fan in the room, but it was too noisy for me.
This guesthouse is excellent value for money. It's comfortable, clean, safe and well-located. The owner let me keep my bags there for a few hours after check-out, which was extremely helpful! The view from the balcony is beautiful, and the free snacks are a nice touch. There's also plenty of filtered water available, as well as cooking facilities and a fridge. The WiFi worked well too.

South KoreaDolphin guesthouses really gave me time to spend my real vacation. The sea view, the wind, and the peaceful atmosphere made me think about visiting Taormina again next time. Thank you so much to the kind Antonello and Anna. They made me feel comfortable during my stay. And even before I arrived at the accommodation, Anna already gave me sincere and sincere answers. Thank you so much. And I requested breakfast and ate it, which was much more special and wonderful and delicious than any other hotel. Thank you Antonella for your sincerity in preparing breakfast. Even when I checked out, she took me to the taxi stand and said goodbye. Thank you so much Antonella! I was so touched ^^ I really liked the beautiful Taormina. I hope the dolphin guesthouses will always remain great accommodations. Antonella and Anna always stay healthy ♡ and Grazie Mille ♡

United KingdomNothing on Antonella or the room but the heat was unbearable (32C) so I had the fan on all the time I was in the room.
I loved the location - super close to the bus stop from the train station, porta Messina and the cable car station all within 5 minutes walk. The room was spacious and comfortable. Antonella was also super friendly, I loved her little touches (fresh water in the room and cold filtered water always available for free, beach towels available and free shampoo in the bathroom) and all her recommendations for dinner were amazing!

United KingdomPossibly too many possessions but that only added to its charm.
It was so homely and the hosts had considered a travellers needs. Close to centre without being in it. Had full use of kitchen and small balcony. The views were wonderful. The host supplied along with the usual things, beach towels, drinking water, condiments, tea/coffee/sugar. If you like the “hotel” look this is not for you but if you would rather a home from home, have ability to cook and relax and dont mind a bit of clutter, like to walk/hike then this is ideal. I loved it. Bus and shop around the corner.

BelgiumI have no complaints whatsoever!
When I arrived I was immediately greeted by the very friendly Antonella who explained everything and gave me a map of the wonderful town of Taormina. I had a single room with seperate but private and clean bathroom, I could use the communal living room and kitchen, and the balcony was perfection itself: a great view and a blooming tree under it that produced a heavenly orange flower scent. You can't have a better spot to drink your morning Bialetti coffee! It felt like a very cosy, friendly home. I loved everything about this place! The location was very close to the main street, but in a small street so the nights and mornings were very quiet. The view from my room was just the street, but who stays in their room if they can have... the perfect balcony! <3 Very good value for money!

ItalyThe house is cluttered with different stuff. It is not pleasant to stay in common areas because of the disorder and cacofonia of things everywhere. It was hard to find a clean place in kitchen to cut the food. Im very sorry that such a beautiful place is so messy and dirty, it could be wonderful without piles of things.
The place is located wonderfully: very close to the center but in a quiet small street with a beautiful view from the balcony. The room was small but cozy.
