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.).

United KingdomThe interior decoration of the room looked a little tired and could do with a make-over
Plenty of space to find a sunny spot either by the pool or beach or on one of several sun terraces or even on your own. Never far away from a bar or restaurant with plenty of choice. Fabulous service at the poolside.

United KingdomThere was only one iron in the hotel in a room with no water to add to the iron and a very stained ironing board cover. Very disappointing for a hotel of this standard. Also dinner options were limited and average
Location is amazing, incredible views of Mount Etna and pool is lovely. There are lots more sunbeds than in the pictures round the corner from the pool so plenty of space. There is a free shuttle to Taormina which we used, very reliable - needs booked in advance as places fill up but not a problem to plan ahead a little - could be more of a problem in peak season. Breakfast was very good - the cooked ‘British/american’ items weren’t very good but everything else was brilliant. Staff at all times were very helpful

United StatesThe shower wasn't my favorite...but just because of the shower head, which was difficult to adjust, but it had great water pressure and the temperature was perfect. It was clean and spacious. You also should know that it is downhill from Taormina, so you will have to drive, take the shuttle, or cable cars to get into town. I would stay here again, though...it was worth the minor inconvenience.
This is an amazing property. The reason I booked was the mention of the elevator carved out of stone which lead to the private beach. As soon as we were checked in, we headed down, and it did not disappoint. You are literally stepping out into a cave and your first view is of the beach which was beautiful. If you head the other direction, you are walking though a carved stone walkway to the pool, pool bar, and a restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful, particularly the lifeguards and pool bar staff. The room was as described. We had a balcony and our view of the sea was gorgeous.

ArgentinaI would only suggest a minimal furniture and decoration upgrade and it could easily become a 5 stars hotel.
The hotel is beautiful but the location and views are insanely gorgeous! feels like Paradise! No matter if you are at the restaurant, the bar, the swimming pool or their own private beach you will always enjoy the views and their exquisite service! My parents and I had booked 2 separate rooms and they upgraded us to a sea view enormous apartment-like room. They also offer free shuttles to the center of Taormina (important to reserve a spot). Breakfast was super complete! I loved my stay at UNAhotel Capotaormina!

LebanonThe free shuttle bus to the center must be more frequently or to have more than one shuttle service, so can all the guests benefit from this service.
The property is well located in the sea, and has all the facilities needed.

United StatesA staff person barged into my sisters room unannounced apparently to fix an umbrella that may blow away. This was reported and not real happy with the hotel response. Another issue was that I was responsible for getting car transport for a large group mainly handled through concierge. The car company gave us run around and different quotes. The staff was somewhat helpful but certainly inconsistent. It took way to much effort and confusion than what should be experienced. I gave overall good ratings though because hotel was nice.
Breakfast was outstanding except for flies!

United StatesTBH, the only thing I would complain about was that there seemed to be no place to hang a towel in the the bathroom. Beyond that, the overall decor was very 1970s. Well kept, but neither classic nor up to date. OTOH, who cares. I don't spend a lot of time in hotel hallways and lobbys.
The pool area was perfect. Views of Mt. Etna at sunset. Lot's of pairs of seats under umbrellas at whatever distance you want from the pool itself. It was the kind of place where you can relax with a sense of privacy. The bar staff there were delightful. They made me feel welcome like an old friend, and were attentive to all my requests. The restaurants all had a great view. Le Grand Bleu was ideal for a romantic dinner or gathering with friends. Bring the kids to the other restaurant.

Everything was perfect! Small but beautiful beach, the pool area is really good with amazing view. So you can choose between pool and beach, both are very good. The rooms are large, spacy and very comfortable, with balconies facing sea and beatiful view to Etna and Isola Bella. There is big TV, coffee machine. I especially liked separate wardrobe room, which is spacy enough, lots of mirrors. The shuttle bus to city center is very comfortable.
