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.).

AustraliaWonderful Lovation right on the Beach opposite Isola Bell, amazing sunrises. Views to die for. Old World charm and service. Special thank you to Giuseppe for making our stay such a pleasone, nothing for him was too much effort and trouble. Guiseppe could teach our Australian accommodation Hotels a thing or two (Australian standards need to lift their game for the prices they’re charging) Breakfast was exceptional.

United KingdomBathroom has little or no natural light and is a bit tired. That's it
Had a 2nd floor room with balcony. With the doors open I could lay on the bed and just about see the sea! Lovely to have the view of Isola Bella from the room. Staff were all very nice and the breakfast was very nice apart from the wasps! We ate outside most mornings that's why. Room is cleaned every day with new towels etc.

NetherlandsThe bathroom is a little bit small, you can't really turn around in the shower, but at least you had your own and there was one. The bed was a one person bed, because of course I was on my own. Unfortunately it was quite small and I did hit the wall and nightstand a few times🥴
Everything was in the apartment and It looked clean. Nice little balcony for yourself with an amazing view over the ocean and Isola Bella. A busstop right in front of the hotel that takes you to the station. The check in was great. The worker told me how to get into the town of Taormina, explained very well where I could find the centre and was very polite.

United StatesThe shower was really tiny and it was very difficult to move around in it. In fact, the only way you could take a shower was to open the side curtain/door.
The view from my balcony was absolutely spectacular!!! The hotel is showing its age but everything is very clean, the breakfast was good and plentiful and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the pool.

AustraliaThe hotel itself needs a facelift i.e. some paint and a few repairs - the pool area is lovely, however the pool itself needs maintenance. The booking included breakfast however it was actually very sparse and basic.
With three of us sharing a room , we were allocated a very spacious room that also had a very large terrace with wonderful views of Isola Bella. The location was great, very close to the cable car that takes you to the main corso in Taormina and a short walk to Isola Bella.
