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.).

IsraelAmazing hotel with traditional Sicilian design and clean rooms to the highest standards. The hotel staff is nice and will provide you with all the information and help you will need including recommendations for trips. I want to give a special thanks to Antonio from reception for all the help and personal attention! A very special person! If we come back to Taormina again I will return to this hotel just because of amazing Antonio!

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing!!! What could you not like about this hotel. Excellent location excellent staff excellent room and excellent food
Breakfast was superb. Plenty of choice and freshly cooked.It was difficult to single out one member of staff as they were all exceptional BUT must give a special mention to Ivana - she was fantastic - so professional friendly and gave exceptional customer service. What an asset to the hotel!!! Every member of staff looked after us exceptionally well. So friendly welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Dont worry about the hotel being up some steps - they fetched our luggage and took it to the taxi when we left

United StatesValet service is great. Just FYI to know that if you arrive by car, you will meet the valet outside the pedestrian area and one valet will park the car and one valet will take your luggage to the hotel because hotel is in pedestrian area. It is a 5 min walk to the hotel for the guests from the meeting point.
Central location. Wonderful staff! We had logistical issue and they were so accommodating! Excellent breakfast and dinner! Comfortable beds, large bathroom, good AC, complimentary drinks and snacks in the room. Love the Skybar on the rooftop. 5 star experience and stay.

United StatesUnfortunately the Sky Bar had closed for the season, but the bartender gave us a tour in the morning and it is wonderful. The views were fantastic. Made sense being closed in middle November when it’s dark and much cooler in the evenings.
The Palazzo Vecchio was the quintessential boutique hotel experience. Our room was lovely, the location perfectly situated in the middle of the old town, the staff overwhelming friendly and attentive, and the food and drinks delicious. We stayed in all wonderful hotels in Sicily, but the experience at Palazzo Vecchio was exceptional. I can’t say enough about how friendly the staff was from the bellman who lugged our bags from Porta Catania to the waitstaff in the bar and restaurant who made us feel like old friends. I think I would describe it as luxury without the attitude. I don’t know if we’ll make it back to Taormina, but I would stay at this hotel again and again.

AustraliaBreakfast involved a lot of good quality options in a very pleasant dining room. Not always as organised as one might hope, albeit friendly and courteous. Plumbing all a bit complicated and needed maintenance.
Well positioned, very clean and quiet. Very courteous and friendly staff.

South AfricaThere was nothing we could complain anout at Palazzo Vecchio Taormina and would definitely stay there again if we returned to Taormina
This Boutique Hotel was well located on the Main Walking Street, but set-back up a flight of stairs, so quite discreet. The Service, Housekeeping, Breakfast and general facilities for a small hotel of only #12 Guestrooms was quite exceptional, and the Guest Relations / Concierge Antonio was extremely helpful with suggesting great Restaurants, and organising a trip up the ubiquitous Mt. Etna, which is a must for anyone visiting Taormina, and this part of Sicily. I would highly recommend the Palazzo Vecchio Hotel Taormina, for anyone wishing to stay at a more discreet and personal Hotel, rather than a large Grand Hotel, with all the facilities of 2 or 3 Restaurants etc. The Hotel has a relationship with a very pleasant Beach Club down on the Beach, who will collect you from the Town Square and return whenever you wish ➕️ the Food at La Caravella was really excellent 👌 We hired a car from Catania, which was a waste of time, as it remained parked at Euro 30 per day for our entire stay, until our departure.....if you only intend to visit Catania. We had an amazing time in Taormina for the 5 days we stayed, and were really sorry to leave this incredibly beautiful and unique lication, with excellent Restaurants for every taste from Street Food to Haute Cuisine at the Grand Timeo Belmond Hotel, which has a Michelin Star Restaurant and great food at their Terrace Restaurant as well.

GermanyThere was no shower curtain, so had to sit in the bathtub. For us ok but elderly people might have a problem with the exercise. Price is quite high but everything is a bit overpriced in Taormina.
Nice location very central, nice staff, very clean and spacious. Would come again.
