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.).

United StatesOn-site parking fee was a bit high (14 Euros) but it was worth it for the convenience
Shuttle was a sliding scale in cost per-person based on how many days you were there. View was excellent, breakfast was a standard European spread and quite tasty

The hotel is stunning and the staff were super nice. We booked this hotel because being scottish it had the scottish connection to the owner Jim and it was well worth it. We arrived by car and dumped it outside the hotel and used the hotel shuttle bus service provided every day. You just tell them 30 mins before you want it abd they book you on it. Very convenient. A cocktail on the outside bar verranda every night was made by the lovely bar man and a special mention to Sam (Jiim's nephew) who rescued us after we had mistakenly walked up the hill for miles in the dark trying to find the pizza restaurant. He saw us when riding his motorbike and turned round, stopped and pointed us in the right direction/ downhill!!! The view from our bedroom was spectacular. Mount etna in the distance smoking away! Had a great stay. Would definately recommend.

Perfect location above Taormina, away from the lively resort centre. Tranquil and superb views. Staff of extremely helpful, polite and friendly. Excellent breakfast buffet which ample choice for vegetarians. Walk down steps to centre isn’t as bad as it looks but there is the shuttle bus option if required. Would love to go back some time

BulgariaThere are no mini-markets around, so if you need anything special, buy it in advance or go downtown.
For the 1st time ever, the room matched the advertisement. The hotel is situated on a high hill and the room offered magnificent views to Etna, the Taormina seacoast, and the nearby monastery. The room was super clean, the staff was very polite and helpful and cooperated for anything we needed or wanted. Although not in the center of Taormina, the shuttle bus service is always available, and runs in quite frequent intervals, so you can visit downtown anytime you want (it takes 5 minutes).

LithuaniaThere are a lot of steps to go to the city center, but we saw it as an advantage to burn some calories after the dinner! For those who do not want to walk, the hotel provides opportunity to use the bus shuttles! Also, it is not easy to come here by car, but in this case you have a perfect view which is worth it!
The place was completely amazing! We have chosen it as one for our honeymoon trip to Sicily. The view was just breathtaking, even the photos do not reveal the real view! The good thing is that you have a private balcony, where you can enjoy the view as much as you want! Literally, we didn’t want to move anywhere from a hotel with such a view! The staff and breakfast were really good, the room was always clean and convenient. This is the place where we would sincerely love to come back.

AustraliaThere was nothing about the property that we did not like.
This is an exceptional property with a spectacular view of Taormina and Mt Etna and yet another example of the wonderful properties that we stayed in whilst traveling around Sicily. Whilst the hotel was a little dated we loved its ambience, the welcoming staff and the generous breakfasts that we enjoyed on the patio overlooking the pool. Parking on the property was an added bonus. We highly recommend this property and would go back again in a heartbeat.

United StatesThere is no real dinner available,at least during the time that we stayed, we were at the end of the season.
The property has stunning views, and each room with the terrace is so beautiful with a view out onto the ocean and beyond and of course Mount Etna right in front of you. Most of the staff was really helpful and very nice, the location is away from the crowded streets of the main part of Taormina. Breakfast was always great and restaurant recommendations from the staff were very good also .

I have never seen or experienced such kindness and dedication in any hotel I have stayed at. Thank you to everyone at Villa Angela, especially Charlie, Ada and Gianpaolo.

United StatesGetting to and from is a bit challenging if you’re driving due to the narrow streets and hairpin curves (welcome to Italian hill towns). Parking is difficult, so let the hotel staff park your car.
Very attractive and clean. Superb, friendly staff. Great food for breakfast and lunch; delicious snacks until 9 pm. Restaurant was reasonably priced. Unparalleled views of the volcano and waterfront. Frequent shuttles to and from the historical town.
