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.).

FranceAs it's an older building, you can hear the other guests walking around, entering/exiting their rooms, and talking in their rooms. Also, note that there are two triple rooms, both advertised as having sea and mountain views. Unfortunately, one of the rooms has only one small window with no view - this not clear at all from the description, and we found this out only after entering the room.
The location of the hotel is ideal, just a short drive from the Rifugio Giovanni Sapienza, where you can find the cable car and the starting point of many of the Etna tours. We were also given advice about some very nice hiking routes that we could take on our own. The surroundings are quiet, and there is a restaurant on site that serves a good breakfast.

GermanyI could say the bathroom and in particular the shower is a bit small, and so are the stairs to go up. But as said it is a basic accommodation and it offers great value for money. And why would you need a swimming pool or sauna if you are on the Etna?
This is a great basic, yet still stylish accommodation for trips around the Etna. In summer it must be very relaxing to escape the heat of the coast. No need to go out at night as the dinner here is great too!

Great location just a few minutes drive from the cable car. Super-friendly and super-helpful staff. We requested a vegetarian meal, expecting just a bowl of pasta, and were treated to a personalised 3-course feast of some of the best food we have had in Sicily.

South AfricaOur only small criticism is that the staff were 10 minutes late with our packed breakfasts on the day of our mountain excursion. But the packed meals were good quality and we enjoyed them very much on our hike :-)
Perfect location for exploring Mount Etna. Hotel has an old-world charm and the rooms are enormous. Nothing impersonal about a smaller establishment like this. Easy to access the property by car, with free parking on-site. We had a lovely dinner at the hotel, as there is not much else in the vicinity. The staff accommodated our early departure and provide a packed breakfast.

The hotel was not crowded so we got a nice upgrade of our room. The personnel was very attentive and kind all around, but the best experience was the dinner - you can choose a la carte or even off-the-menu customized dishes.
