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.).

AustraliaNoise travelling between rooms and from the corridor. The walls seemed not to be insulated. We were there on rainy days/evenings, but only Italian TV stations and could not cast from our phones to the TV.
Great location and the valet parking was very useful. Breakfast was very good, many choices available.

MaltaAll was good
The property is located only 300m away from Porta Messina and the UNESCO World Heritage Greek theatre and is in a quiet street just off the main Corso Umberto I. Despite being so centrally situated, you may also drop off your luggage from a back entrance, easily reached by the Circonvalenzione circuit road. The room was very comfortable and well-lit - we had all we needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was good and the staff very helpful.

United KingdomThe bedroom was perfectly adequate and very clean. There wasn’t a whole lot of storage - this wasn’t too much of an issue for us as we travelled light, but at least for our room there wasn’t really the opportunity to ‘unpack’. Likewise, if you’re planning some beach days space for drying bathing suits/ towels was limited - we made use of the shower stall to hang things.
The location is absolutely fantastic - literally steps away from the main street. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful but the cherry on top was eating it in a beautiful garden, just a lovely way to start the day. The roof deck has the most incredible view over the town and out to sea - we were out exploring every day but it would have been a perfect place to chill out with a beer or Aperol in the sun, or watch the sunset.

United StatesBreakfast, staff, location was exceptional. If you want to be in the heart of Taormina, at a very reasonable price, and don't mind a small sparsely decorated room (but no need to spend anytime in the room, you are in Taormina!) then click that button.

AustraliaStaff seemed to struggle to keep the breakfast going at times. Had to wait a While to get replenished.
The location was fantastic. Right in the heart of Taormina town. 3 star hotel so not expensive and a bit run down but exactly what we wanted. Regret not getting a taxi from the station. A big walk up hill but you don’t know until you get there Very good breakfast in the garden which was lovely So pleased we chose to stay up in the town and not down at the beach. I loved the pool on the rooftop. Main reason I chose this hotel. Lovely view from up there.

United KingdomThe pictures of the hotels facilities and rooms do not reflect the actuality. The rate of what to me was a basic glorified b&b with cold coffee left me thinking id been ripped off, rarely have I posted negative reports and have not done so now without consideration but the final straw was the electrics tripping out a couple of times on the floor our room was on and no reason supplied plus the lift was not always functioning properly.
The hotel is in a good position being just above the main street and near to the bus stops for getting around.and the reception staff very helpful. however thats as good as it gets. We much enjoyed the area, the town the ambience and would happily go back to taormina

United KingdomJust a couple of minor points. We booked the top floor suite and on reflection, although it was handy for the roof top pool, we didn't have the benefit of a balcony. Also, very misleading - in the description on booking.com it states that there is a private pool as well as the rooftop pool - this is not the case as there is no private pool! Also, although there are free toiletries, these are limited to a small table of soap and shampoo - no conditioner or body lotion - which i think is pretty standard in most hotels nowadays. There are no tea/coffee facilities in the room, which would have been a nice touch. One other negative is that the shower (over the bath) is actually in the bedroom with no door or shower curtain - so not a great deal of privacy which could be awkward depending on who you're sharing with...!
The hotel is perfectly situated for sightseeing, restaurants, shopping and the cable car to the beach (15 minute walk). The rooftop pool, although very small, was a godsend to have in a central hotel and was in fact the main reason for booking this particular hotel. The breakfasts were very good with plenty of fruits, pastries, breads, cold meats etc.

United StatesThe mattress on the bed was not very comfortable. But the worst part was the poor air conditioning unit. If you prefer to sleep in a 68 degree/20 degree room for sleeping.... you're not going to find that at this hotel unfortunately. You could barely feel the cool air coming out and we didn't sleep as well as we would have liked.
The location was fantastic! We loved how close it was to everything! The staff was also fantastic and so helpful and very nice. We also loved the rooftop deck and pool! It was gorgeous up there! Breathtaking views of Taormina.
