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.).

IsraelWe changed rooms after one night (due to a change we made last minute) to a room with lateral sea view, and it felt less good compared to the first with sea view- it was bigger in size, but balcony was small, bath older and bed lass comfortable. Although- still very clean. All in all we recommend!
Location is comfortable, walking distance to everywhere on Taormina (even Isola Bella - but better to come back with the cable car). The staff were amazing- welcoming, cared for us and gave travel advices. Cleaness was wonderful. The balcony in the room with sea view was amazing and huge, but the room itself was too small. Breakfast was good with large variety, but more on the sweet side. Pool is great, clean and comfortable, and the bar was not expensive for drinks.

NetherlandsParking is for 20 euros and has to be booked in advance, we did not so we had to park outside but it can be difficult as there are limited spaces.
The view is magical, it is so peaceful and quiet yet a 10 minute walk away from the vibrant taormina city centre. The rooms are not too big, but they are okay. The breakfast is also okay. You can go to mazaro for the beach.

United KingdomBeds are on the firm side. Dinner and lunch options very average but good choice for breakfast although would have like freshly squeezed juice and/or fresh fruit.
Views from our balcony, pool, bar and restaurant. Generous balcony sizes. Shutters on bedroom windows aid a great night’s sleep and I imagine essential at keeping the room cool in summer. The availability of connecting rooms when travelling as a family. Location a short walk to bus terminus when travelling from Catania or the airport. Short walk also to cable car to beach and into town. ALL staff members were friendly, polite and helpful. Clean.
