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.).

Great central location just a short walk from teh main city street, with plenty of restaurants and shop within very easy walking distance. Great views over the ocean and Etna from the rooftop bar area

United KingdomThe only problem we found was the nearby La Scala "restaurant" who employed a man who thought he could sing, and confused volume with quality. If you can imagine a hoarse, drunk Rod Stewart impression, you get the idea. This happened every night until midnight, and as good as the double glazing and shutters are, they could not shut out the caterwauling. It is apparently legal, and the hotel was unable to do anything about it. We could not use the balcony in the evening, because we could not hear each other talking. The rooms at the rear of the hotel (without balconies) are quieter. In the UK, the local council would shut it down, but not there apparently. It seems so unfair that the hotel may lose business due to a noisy inconsiderate boor. They certainly don't deserve to. Take earplugs, and you will be ok
We loved the view, and the friendly staff. The building has character, and is ideally placed for the town. Lots of restaurants nearby - it pays to check with TripAdvisor.

United StatesThere were very few electrical outlets in my room. It was hard to charge a laptop, tablet and phone without plugging out the TV and bedside lamps. Because the electricity is powered off when you leave the room, it was not possible to charge devices during the day while visiting sites or restaurants.
The hotel offered a generous breakfast selection of meats, cheeses, cereals, eggs, breads and pastries. The coffee was good. The decor of the hotel itself is very dated. My room was large and clean, but the furnishings were very dated.

NorwayThe hotel is a litle dated, and the breakfast could have had a few more choices.
The location was 10 out of 10. Nice staff, big clean room with cofortable bed. We really enjoyed the lower entrance, which took us straight out in to the main street, and saved us from long walks around the block.
