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.).

GermanyThe information provided on the booking website for the location was wrong. It sent us to a completely different location which took forever to find parking and we had to walk a lot down a steep slope to find the place. Even though a message was sent about the location it still did not provide the coordinates and was too vague to understand where the hotel was.
The staff were amazing and super helpful in dealing with our issue of not finding the hotel and provided a positive attitude to find a solution. We really appreciated them. Breakfast was good for a hotel continental breakfast.

GermanyI was driving around Taormina for the third time when I realized, that the address indicated on booking was sending me to the wrong location. I called the hotel to ask where they actually are, they told me to read the message on booking.com. Which indicated, that the hotel is located 200 m away from the station…What am I supposed to do with this information? I tried to call again, they were hanging up. When I finally managed to find the hotel, I came there, saying peacefully, that they should send people the link to the real google location, as a drive around Taormina downtown is a nightmare. And gave them my passport. The 2 employees were rolling the eyes. Then there was a man entering the hotel after me, without the suitcase. They gave him the key and started explaining things. Then I realized it was the key to my room and they just decided to ignore me, and thinking we are together (for whatever reason) preferred to talk to a man… then I got my key and went to my room. When I came down, they insisted, that I should give my passport, which I already gave, but was ignored, together with my passport apparently. I left it in the safe box and said, that I could give it to them tomorrow, so they started yelling at me, that they need it for the police… Nice hotel. Those two guys are terrible unfortunately, the rest of the staff was ok. The breakfast had only filter coffee…if you wanna go to the city, it’s a hike with elevation gain of 200 m or a taxi for 25€ (5 min ride)
Clean, nice rooms, beautiful view from the breakfast room, good value for money

IrelandIt’s at the bottom of a hill so be aware to walk into Taormina you need to hike up a old path which isn’t lit up after dark. It takes about 20 mins but is a high incline. Rooms are a bit outdated and could do with an upgrade. Air con wasn’t working
Free parking on site if you have a car. Close to a small beach which is nice for swims. Staff were very friendly. Great views from the room

AustraliaChecked in early ready to leave bags however our room was ready.to check in. We had unobstructed views of the sea. The hotel is near the station however the walk is along a busy road with no footpath. We were able to walk into Taormina up a steep path for 25 mins. You can also catch a bus. The views from Taormina are spectacular and if you're feeling energetic you can walk to the church at the top of the hill.After a full day out it was wonderful to cool off in the pool. A good breakfast was provided.

Everything was great - from the people treating us like welcomed guests to the amenities. The steep path up to Taormina leads right from the hotel. The hotel is on a side street off the busy main road. Nice breakfast in a light and airy room.

United KingdomIt wasn't clear to me that the hotel is towards the bottom of the steep hill up to Taormina. That's not really the hotel's fault, it was an oversight from me. Be prepared to bus/taxi up the hill as it's too steep for 80% of the population to walk.
The pool was a particular highlight. The staff were friendly and spoke English. The breakfast was much better than you'd expect from a hotel, and the location looking out on the water was sublime.

United KingdomThe only thing I may have liked was some extra pillows - but having said that I didn’t ask for any !! Taormina is on a v steep hill with the hotel right at the bottom overlooking the beach - and the main town at the top of the hill. We really liked it - but others may not enjoy the walk or drive up into where all the restaurants and shops are
Fabulous views and very helpful and friendly staff. Clean and comfortable. Good contact prior to arrival. Breakfast plentiful.
