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.).

ItalyBeing so central the noise of the busy Corso Umberto cannot be avoided. The hotel could do with some light refurbishment like upgrading the showers but the retrò atmosphere is also charming and we certainly liked that!
Staff very friendly and professional. Beautiful room and very ckean and comfortable. Location couldn't be more central!

TurkeyAfter arriving on a rainy day it was like paradise to be greeted with a sincere, warm welcome. All the staff were able to show the same courtesy and made our stay very enjoyable indeed. The location was a delight within walking distance. Breakfast was also very good and coffee as you would expect. Many thanks to Luigi and Piero ( hope I spelt the name right)

United KingdomI liked everything. This was our second stay and I asked for a different room this time and we were given a bigger room, which was amazing.
Excellent location, good breakfast, friendly and helpful staff who are always there when you need them. I really missed Salvatore and the twins when we arrived at our next hotel (In Agrigento), it didn’t feel the same staying in Sicily without them. They are so warm and welcoming and always bright-eyed and efficient. Tle ladies who make breakfast are wonderful too.

Excellent location. Good breakfast. Very helpful staff. The hotel located 200 meters from the shuttle stop. You should park in Lumbi parking ( around 15 EUR for 24 hours) and take a free shuttle( one stop).

United StatesBeware as the room photos are misleading, there is no balcony unless you specifically request it , however we didn’t know that so we had no balcony just a little window.
Great location on the main road, friendly staff and quaint hotel , proximity to everything, very clean and ok selection for breakfast.There is a terrace upstairs that I found amazing and kinda made up for the fact that my room had no balcony .

LithuaniaEverything was perfect.
The hotel is located in a unique ancient building in the very center of Taormina. The hotel is historical - it has been operating for more than 100 years. We love hotels that have a sense of history, so we really enjoyed it. May not suit those looking for modernity. The rooms were cleaned every day - it smelt clean. The staff is very friendly, attentive and helpful. Thank you!
