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.).

SloveniaThe door of the bathroom had some difficulties to close and the toilet was made for really short people, but otherwise we had a great time!
Room was ok, we had a parking in front of the hotel, even thought it is limited traffic zone, but the hotel provides you a permit for the days that you are staying with them. Magnificent view on the Taormina and on Etna from our balcony was priceless! The staff was super nice and the city of Castelmola is so cozy, so friendly, we loved it!

GermanyThe place needs renovation, there was a horrible smell coming out of the bathroom, we had to keep it closed, otherwise the smell would infect the whole bedroom. Mattress was hard, not comfortable.
The view was amazing, friendly staff.

South AfricaSince the hotel advertised wifi with the room, it was disappointing to have it in the lobby only (take note). Parking was provided but some distance away and with a big difference in altitude (climbing up and down to get to it). It is a steep, unforgiving and “interesting” drive up to the hotel, on a hair-raising road with many steep bends—but for which you’re rewarded with beautiful views of Etna and the coast.
The hotel is situated really high up on the mountain with magnificent views of Mt Etna. We had a room on the third floor (so be sure to pack light as there is no lift). The hosts were friendly and helpful although English proved a challenge. A decent typical Italian breakfast was provided in the morning.

United StatesThe many stairs to the lobby were a little difficult for us but would be impossible for many less able customers. The bathroom configuration in our room was quite inconvenient and difficult to use.
The view from the terrace was magnificent! The owner and his entire family provided perfect hospitality and were always there to assist us. The hotel was beautifully furnished with true antique Sicilian charm and furniture. We felt perfectly at home. The location also had easy access to restaurants and shops.

FranceSome things need refurbishing but these are very minor details and then the hotel would be much more expensive. So please, keep it as it is: a 10-star view and location for a 2-star price.
The views from the rooms and breakfast/dining terrace are breathtaking. All rooms have amazing large balconies. The village is beautiful and animated with excellent restaurants and just above Taurmina, one of Sicily’s greatest sights. A friendly, kind, family-run hotel in an extraordinarily magnificent place and very good value for money.

A lovely family run hotel, the hotel has everything you need for your stay. What makes this place special is the warmest hospitality from the owners and the views are unbelievable. Breakfast was delicious, and they couldn’t do enough for us throughout our stay, even called a taxi for us when the bus didn’t arrive on our departure. Will definitely be back!

Everything! The hotel is located in Castelmola, which is a lovely and unique village surrounded of magnificent views, local restaurants and a castle. The hotel is very simple, but you have everything that you need, in fact even more, with the beautiful views from our window and balcony to appreciate sunsets and sunrises. The staff is very welcoming and friendly and they are always there for everything that you may need.

PolandWonderful place. I travel to discover exactly places like that. Calm hotel carried by Italian very friendly and helpful family. They created wonderful atmosphere there. Very nice breakfast with amazing view on the whole Sicily. Hotel is on the top of the hill so just imagine:) we could see sea and Etna at the same glance. We also had this great view from our room. Rooms were spacious, cleaned very well every day. I felt there like at home. Definitely I would come back there to Hotel Panorama do Sicilia again. And Castelmola is charming place that we can rest far from crowds and feel like locals. Magical place. And thank you for making our stay unforgettable. The best memories we have from this place <3 Grazie mile :)
