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 StatesThis place is magical. Our room had a balcony and view of the ocean and Mount Etna, as well as overlooked the hotel pool and lush gardens. In addition, its location is perfect to explore Taormina by foot. But what sets this hotel apart from any other is the service provided by the very friendly and helpful professional staff. We arranged taxis, a rental car and excursions through the front desk and they could not have been more attentive and patient in explaining our options. We loved this hotel and will return!

GibraltarPrice is on the high side, but so is the rest of Taoramina. Hotel offers parking but at 40 euros per day.
Beautiful classic hotel with the charisma long lost on many of the new hotel chains. Perfect location, excellent rooms, breathtaking views, excellent staff and generous breakfast. Perfect for a special stay in a special place.

Very clean and modern. We stayed in an apartment across from the main building, as it was closed for remodeling. Lovely, large space with a small balcony with gorgeous views.

United StatesThe room rate is on the high side, however it is due to Taormina's popularity,
This was a clean, comfortable hotel in Taormina, close to the Corso Umberto. The hotel staff were very attentive and helpful in every way. Upon arrival, they sat down with us and offered suggestions for tours and activities they could arrange for us. Any time we needed a taxi or dinner reservations, they set them up for us. Our room had a large terrace overlooking the sea, the views were beautiful.

He also helped us with transportation to multiple activities and meals. He was so helpful throughout our stay. The other staff was excellent as well.

AustraliaWhilst the suite was beautiful, just be aware that it is a little further up the road so walking to breakfast, the pool etc isn’t as easy as just walking up or down steps as it would be if you were staying in the main hotel building. Also the shower in the suite was in the bath and very narrow - every time you turned to wash yourself you would accidentally knock the water tap off - they would have been better off taking the bath out and making it one luxury shower.
The Belvedere has an amazing breakfast, stunning pool with cafe/bar, and a cosy, villa feel about the residence. This time we stayed in one of the new apartment suites a little further up the road. It was spacious and newly appointed. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful or friendlier.

AustraliaNothing, everything was perfect.
I absolutely loved staying at Hotel Villa Belvedere. The staff were exceptionally friendly, I felt at ease immediately which is so important when traveling alone. The Manager even went out of his way to drive me to the bus stop with all my luggage in the middle of the heat, and happily did so. The hotel is beautiful and the view was exceptional! I was given an upgrade at no extra cost, the room was clean and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. My time there wasn't long enough and can't wait to go back to visit!
