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.).

SwitzerlandThe villa has some arrangement with beaches, which are probably not the best in the area. It would be good if staff proposed some alternatives to loud party-like beaches (lido dolce vita). Breakfast was not really great, with americano tasting like it was powdered, little choice of fruits. There is no kettle/coffee machine in the room. It would be helpful if we had explanation in advance how to use parking as we had to park in another place and then repark the car as we didn’t know how to open the door.
Beautiful villa, with an amazing view and great location a bit outside of historical center but close enough to reach it on foot while having some silence at night . There is a parking at the hotel. The room was very basic but clean. Staff is friendly.

United KingdomThe Hotel is traditional with comfortable rooms and ideally located for travelling around, the bus station is opposite the hotel and the cable car and Taormina are a short walk away. The steps to beaches a close by, beautiful views as you walk down but very steep. The reception staff were exceptionally helpful, we were given top tips for restaurants and travel advice.

United StatesWith only 14 rooms, across the street from the bus station and only a 4 minute walk away from Porta Messina, this is a little gem of a hotel. The staff, lead by Mr. Nobody, we’re all terrific, with special shout outs to Giuseppe Uno and Giuseppe Due, who made our stay even better with their warm welcome outstanding service. The views from the breakfast room are STUNNING, as are all of the views from the rooms overlooking the sea. There is a charming garden with table, perfect for your first espresso of the day. And then there is Lucy, the Border Collie, who may be ball obsessed, but will happily become your new BFF if you spend a little time playing with her. I can’t wait to return!

United KingdomNo lift. Giuseppe will carry on your luggage but be prepared for stairs. Not terrible but after a day walking up and down it may be a challenge for some my age.
Exceptional staff! It made lot of difference to have such wonderful people helping us. And they were going above and beyond! View from the room and waking up to the sun raising, working fridge. My only comment would be - no lift - so poor Giuseppe (the first one - later dethroned to Giuseppe no 2 by Giuseppe no 2 who was in fact no 1) brought luggage to the second floor. All the guests had their luggage taken care of. Wonderful coffee made by both Giuseppes and Mauro (Mr Nobody) - won't be getting one like that at home, deffo! And then Lucy the dog, absolute cuteness who played ball all the time. It is a massive thank you for the exceptional hospitality, smiles and zillions of amazing coffees!

AustraliaI felt the staff could be friendlier and give some advice on tourist attractions etc and things to do. They should take more interest in their guests, for example we were staying on 3rd floor and had 4 pieces of luggage. When we arrived Giuseppe was kind enough to help us however when checking out, no assistance was provided with luggage not even opening the door. If you are in hospitality you do need some people skills.
Location and the view from balcony was magical. Well worth spending the extra money to have a room with balcony.
