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.).

GermanyWe had a wonderful four-night stay at the Lemon House, be prepared to experience a fabulous Bed & Breakfast! The English home is just exceptional, pristine and full of love. The owner Christel and her lovely teen daughter Emma are truly warm and caring, they make you feel like family right from the start. The rooms are beautifully decorated, the plush bed came with luxurious linens and ours had French doors overlooking the handsome, rectangular turquoise pool. The breakfast was not only beautifully displayed but very tasty, high quality and vast. Emma prepared the best delicious gourmet eggs and great cappuccinos! ; ) Christel is fantastic. A classy lady that speaks almost every language and pays great attention to detail was super helpful with planning our stay in Savoca. She provided us an excellent list of restaurants and beach clubs in the near and kindly helped book all reservations for us. Every placed we visited was top notch! Lemon House is about only a 20-min car ride to Taormina, perfect for a day at the beach club or exploring the city and returning home to lovely dinners at the beautiful Sicilian villages. Parking is always available, secure and free of charge on the street just outside the House. Our stay at Lemon House was a very special time and one we will never forget. Thank you Christel and Emma! Absolute recommendation!

United KingdomNothing the hotel was perfect
An absolutley perfect B&B Hotel for a Sicilian adventure. From initial contact after booking through to departure, Christel has been absolutely fantastic, she is very accommodating and helpful with travel advise for day trips. Each day she would offer suggestions based on what we wanted to, and make any tour and restaurant reservations for us, this was absolutely invaluable to us, saving us so much time and allowing us to pack the most into our one week holiday. The hotel itself is beautiful, comfortable and wants for nothing. The rooms, decor and facilities are to a very high standard and it is probably the best small B&B hotel that we have ever stayed in, such a first class personal service. The hotel is perfectly placed to explore Toamina, Etna, Savoca, Catania and all of the North Eastern Sicily. Now breakfast each day is something else, an array of choices from Sicilian meats, cheeses, fruits, yogurt, breads etc and you will be even offered eggs of your choice, expertly cooked by Emma the head breakfast chef. Thank you Emma! If you are looking at North East Sicily, we would highly recommend the Lemon House. So do not hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed!

SwitzerlandNothing! You will need a car unless you plan not to visit many interesting sites and restaurants on the island or just the surrounding area.
Super boutique B&B with very personal service incl. recommendations for sites, restaurants, excursions. Carefully chosen, excellent breakfast buffet that is unbelievable for such a small business. The same is true for its pool. The owner's hospitality is unparalleled and the result of love and extensive travel industry knowledge.

NorwayLemon house is nicely situated a quick walk or car ride from Savoca. The property is clean and Christel and her staff are really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing. Suggest you try the homemade eggplant spread! Breakfast area is cozy and easy. You can for sure find something you like! Christel was also really helpful booking restaurants and provide suggestions on what to do in the area. Strongly suggest to walk up to Savoca, stop for an ice cream and then proceed to the next town and down to Chiesa di San Pietro church and then back to Lemon House. A nice round and you get to experience the small towns in the area!

CanadaBreakfast were exceptional. Christel has a lot of home made jams marmalade and other.. too many to recall. She also cooks fresh eggs to order. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. Christal has a lot of knowledge about the area and gives it freely. Her choice of restaurants for our diners were spot on and we enjoyed them.

Her willingness to make sure your stay is perfect for you, is her goal. She will give suggestions on dining, tours, excursions as well as make breakfast early to accommodate your day.

ItalyThe bad and breakfast is situated logistically perfect, if you want to discover East Sicily. The surrounding itself is unfortunately not the nicest. Don't expect a spectacular view.
Very nice, small bed and breakfast with only 4 rooms. Our room was lovely, with a very tasteful interior. The whole house is beautiful and very well cared for. The pool may be small, but no bigger one is needed for such a structure and it has been very well made and designed. The breakfast was excellent. We never had a better buffet in South Italy. We didn't miss a thing and all the products have been of very good quality. The best and most amazing thing was the host though: Christel really cares for her guests and provides very useful tips. We made a more or less accurate plan beforehand of what we want to visit and where we want to go for dinner, but ended up following all her leads. The trust paid off. It was much more fun that way :). Absolutely recommendable.
