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.).

AustraliaThere was no fridge in the room and limited access points for charging devices .
The location was great . Close to the chair lift . Bustops and a short walk to all the restaurants and shops . The hotel was quirky and cute . A lovely garden and a homely feel . You can choose to have breakfast in the garden. At a small cost . The bed was comfy and the little balcony had a lovely view. Air con was effective. The owners were very helpful, courteous and thoughtful with required information . There was a service to the beach that had a beachclub called la dolce vita which provided pick up and return including 2 beach chairs and umbrella at 25 Euros for 2 people . The nightly rate seemed reasonable for what you got .

SwedenIt can get very noisy at times since the doors and windows are not soundproof (people slamming doors, or a manhole cover in the street right below us that would literally move and make a lot of noise every time a car passes by, making it very difficult to sleep sometimes).
The view from the upper rooms is unbeatable (we had the best one at the corner with the terrasse). Good bed, the room was big with good AC, and overall the place is very charming. We also liked the proximity with everything (cable car to isola Bella literally downstairs, old town one minute away, bus terminal 5 mins walk).

AustraliaThe property is extremely well looked after. The brothers who manage the property keep it in such perfect condition. The rooms are large and comfortable and the hotel also has a beautiful garden which you can utilise whenever you’d like. They were also very helpful in their recommendations and planning a day to a nearby beach club. The property is situated so close to the centre of Taormina and the cable car, yet it is still quiet at night. We believe our stay was amazing value for money, especially considering we came in the peak period and was the best accomodation we had during our vacation in Europe.

AustraliaGorgeous family run villa which has been with the family since 1800’s! Such a unique experience, we really felt like we were staying in a piece of Italian history. Perfect location in the heart of Taormina just a minute walk to the cable cart which takes you to the beach. Lovely staff who were very helpful and provided us tips on what to see and had a service to organise a day at one of the beach clubs for only £12.50 per bed (including taxi) rather than £25+ at others. Great breakfast in their beautiful gardens overlooking the ocean. The room was great too with daily cleaning.

GermanyThe stairs are quite challenging for heavy luggages but everything is managable.
The both hosts were very friendly and it's perfectly located directly next to the city center of Taormina. From Terminal Bus station it's only 5 minutes walk up the hill and next to the cable car station. The rooms are calm for a perfect sleep and very clean. The most amazing part was the breakfast in the middle of the garden! You can book it seperatly when you arrive in the hotel, if there is no option at booking.com. The price for such a lovely stay is unbeatable.

This is a beautiful, family owned hotel in a fantastic location. The gardens are beautiful and a perfect place to start the day with a lovely Sicilian style breakfast, we could actually have sat there all day admiring the view. However, the location makes it easy to explore the piazza’s, shops, bars and restaurants of Taormina and the cable car to the beach is almost directly across the road making a day at the beach easily accessible. The bus terminal is also in easy walking distance. To top it off the owners and staff were always happy to help and friendly, providing impeccable service.

The owners are very kind and give all the freeedom to the guests. The breakfast is delicious, served in the garden of the villa, and the price is very good, we had it every day. You can park the car in front of the B&B to take out the bags, there is nothing to deslike. Everything very clean and beautiful.

NorwayWe enjoyed our stay very much, but parts of the hotel and amendities felt a bit outdated. As in Sicily in general, english is a bit challenging.
Very cosy and romantic hotel with it’s own garden and a nice terrace with great view. The location is perfect: Close to the main touristic streets, and cable car is just across the street and a very few meters away. Both bus stop and bus terminal within short walking distance as well. The tourist buses stops at the doorstep. Food, beverages and small kiosk/grocery store on same street. Hotel itself is nice and romantic, and quite alright value for the price.
