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.).

NetherlandsNot major points, but drinks were expensive (22EUR for cocktail), some breakfast items were paid (such as eggs Benedict) - would not expect this at a top hotel, and some mornings there was a slight smell from bathroom.
Great location right in the centre of Taormina town but away from the busy streets. Amazing view from the pool and our room (junior suite) overlooking the sea. Lovely staff, particularly Santini.

They take care of every request you may have from recommendations, making reservations, booking taxis… they go above and beyond to make your stay amazing. This is the best location bc it is in the center of everything. Amazing pool area. Marcelo at the front is a dream. Maria at breakfast, Giuseppe at the pool Bar and David & Mary at the lounge are phenomenal

LebanonThe rooms did not have as much amenities as a Boutique Hotel should. Should have provided water in the room daily. The safety deposit box should not be loose (should be bolted to the wall). The Fridge in the clothing cupboard generated a lot of heat and was below the Safety (could cause damage to clothes or sensitive material)
The location was ideal. Walk out of the hotel and straight into the main street of Taormina. We loved their staff very friendly as well as the pool which was very scenic. Breakfast was impeccable. Also we tried the food and we really was pleasantly surprised - excellent food. Bed was comfortable A Wonderful Terrace too.....

IsraelThe beverages and restaurant are outrageously expensive, especially when you have ample food choices on your doorstep. Otherwise, we liked it all.
The location is perfect in the heart of a perfect vacation little town. The views are fantastic. The staff are very efficient and accommodating, as you would expect. Breakfast on the outside balcony is a bit limited in choice but still very well presented, and the woman managing the small cafe is just great. Rooms are clean, and windows sound proofed. In total, this small hotel is a jem!

The infinity pool and spa was the best. A special thank you to Ambra at the front desk, Maria at breakfast,Lucia housekeeping, Guisseppe.
