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 KingdomLack of nearby parking BUT this is not a criticism and is a feature of Taormina which is very much pedestrianised
Fantastic location Right on the main pedestrian street in Taormina. Abundance of restaurants on your doorstep

AustraliaHotel is in a great central location in the old town pedestrian area. Our room on the third floor benefitted from windows and a balcony that allowed good views to the sea and far coastline over rooftops. The hotel is handy to all the major attractions, restaurants and cafes - it is also a short walk to Messina Gate where it is easy to catch buses to/from the station, and for day tours or a taxi. The hotel has a dated interior but our room was comfortable, with a reasonably sized bathroom. Breakfast was not extensive but included cold meats and cheeses along with the typical pastries and cakes. More than ample. The staff were also helpful.

United StatesNothing about the property. Just our room was facing the main street which is a bit noisy at night with people walking & also then in the morning with the garage trucks coming & vendors getting their deliveries the balcony doors are not that sound proof Also our attached blow dryer didn’t work I told the front desk thought they would fix or give one but they didn’t. Our daughter’s room had a portable one so I just took theirs. We were only there 2days. The breakfast was great though
Location was great right in the middle of everything

AlbaniaThe bed left much to be desired; the hair dryer provided wasn't great either.
Location-wise, this place was spot on, right in the heart of Taormina. Being just above Corso Umberto, we soaked in the lively atmosphere from our balcony, which was the highlight of our stay. Breakfast was okay, there weren't many choices. Overall, the vibe was pleasant.

MaltaAlthough we placed complaints about a broken lamp and a broken toilet seat, they were not repaired during our stay.
The location is very central yet we were not bothered with the noise from the street as the rooms were looking over an internal garden.

United StatesI didn’t like the noise outside the window. It was right above a courtyard and often people were there at night and loud. I also didn’t care for the front desk person Simone. He didn’t seem to care about the clients experience there and was rude.
I loved the location! On Corso Umberto and close to everything. Very convenient

AustraliaReception staff were a bit cold & unfriendly.
Hotel Isabella was closed on dates I booked but they referred me to Hotel Villa Diodoro which was superb & palatial. Room had a view of the gardens and ocean. Bed was comfortable. Great gardens on the cliff by the sea and view of Mt Etna. Good breakfast buffet. Restaurant food was okay. Their swimming pool was beside the cliff & would be great in summer.
