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.).

HungaryThe apartment is located in the heart of Taormina. Our room looked at the sea and the amphiteatre. We had a nice little balcony with great views to the blue sea. The room was well equipped and had a nice ambiance. The staff was friendly and helpful.

AustraliaA very minor comment is that there was a lot of furniture in the room but none of it of any practical use. There was nowhere to unpack clothes apart from one wardrobe. Drawers would have been nice. An umbrella on the shared sun deck would be lovely.
Absolutely awesome location right in the centre of Taormina. The sun deck has a beautiful view and you feel very privileged to be above the crowds.

United StatesOur room had a smaller balcony, but I could still glimpse a skinny crescent moon rising before dawn. I wish I'd invested in a room with a more expansive view and shall certainly do so if I visit Taormina again, definitely staying at Villa Mabel!
The view from the hotel balcony was spectacular looking DOWN on people gawking at one of the world's great vistas, and UP at the chapel carved into the cliffs which hide Castelmola. We climbed the steps to both in a hard hour. The location is awkward for taxi access and a busy walk to the bus station. If you travel light and have towable luggage, try to time your access when Umberto, the famous fancy pedestrian shopping street, is relatively quiet, e.g., after the delivery trucks have gone and the tourist hordes are still in bed! The hotel artwork is exquisite. The staff is unfailingly patient and helpful.

GermanyWhen asking for places to dine we felt that we were disturbing the person at the reception. On the other hand, we do not expect people always to be in good spirits.
The view is stunning! right above Piazza IX Aprile with view of the Etna. Comfortable beds and a desk (which we often miss). We were allowed to drop our bags before moving in and on the day of departure which was very kind.
