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.).

BrazilThe room design is dated and could have had more comfortable seats to make better use of the balcony. Parking costs are high and access to the hotel is via a steep and narrow ramp: leave your car at home.

MaltaOur room was on the sixth floor which is right underneath the restaurant where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, so if you dont wake up by 6.45am, its probably the worst place as it gets noisy after that time as you can hear the trolleys and chairs moving.
Amazing view from room, breakfast area, and mostly everwhere from the hotel. On my wifes birthday we found a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket with 2 champagne glasses, which was very nice of them to give free of charge. All staff are very well trained and give amazing service. The hotels location is probably one of the best as its within walking distance (3 to 4 min) to the most popular street Corso Umberto.

NorwayWe had a room on the north side of the elevator. That restricts the view a little. Make sure you ask for a room to the south when booking. We asked to change the rooms, but unfortunately, everything was fully booked.
The location of this hotel is fantastic. The staff are friendly. And the rooms bring nice view. Like many hotels in Taormina, the hotel is hanging onto the cliff. For Christmas, Taormina turned out to be a good choice. The main streets are packed with people who enjoy the holiday.

RomaniaThe room was super hot. Understandable that at this time Sicily was abnormally warm. We asked twice to turn off the towel heaters as this is what was causing the room to be hot. The staff did turn them off but with that said, there is only one button at the front desk that turns on all the heaters for the floor so they had to appease other guests as well. Opening the windows is not an option, only the door. Issue with that is our balcony balcony was "shared" with another room so we didn't feel comfortable leaving it open at night.

The view from our room was awesome . Breakfast was awesome with a full spread of eggs cooked to your liking and even Prosecco! The hotel was close enough to the Main Street and the staff was super helpful with any ridiculous requests made such as aircon tuning , blown bulbs , toilet paper supply and last minute Mt Etna tours . For once during our travels in south Italy, this place has decent aircon that works .

BulgariaThe kettle in the room was unusable, I mean when you put water in it there are some parts separating from the bottom and the water become dirty. So we could not make us coffee or tea in the room and we used the room service. They charged us a little high, one espresso was €2 in the menu, but they charged us €6 just to bring it in the room.
The hotel has a perfect location, very close to everything. Every room has a terrace and beautiful view which is a big plus. The room itself is nice.
