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 breakfast contains only sweet pastries and granola to eat.
Charming hotel with great staff. It has a really good location in the wonderful town of Taormina. The room was simple but clean, the bed was comfortable. The view from the balconies is extraordinary. You can require breakfast, if you want. The morning staff is nice, they recommend you places to visit.

United StatesIf you have problems walking or bad knees, this is not for you as there are lots of stairs and no elevator. But so it is in most places in Taormina.
An old family owned villa. Not a modern hotel and no elevator. But we wanted a more authentic place to stay. Comfortable beds and nice bathroom. Excellent service. Breakfast in their beautiful garden and the views! Cannot describe. Close to the cable car and just three minutes walk to the Main Street through old town. Also close to the bus station where we took the bus to the airport when leaving.

Amazing place. Great Italian ambiance. Views from Balcony are worth $$$. The garden is beautiful. Staff are so kind and helpful. Place is super clean with hotel name embroidered on bed sheets. Best hotel we stayed in Italy for only 100E a night. Everything is close 5 minute walk to the cable car to beach. 5 minutes to main town square. So glad we chose this place. Only area for improvement is breakfast. It’s only 6E but very simple. Coffee is not good. Sweet rolls so so and some jogurt. We only ate once and chose to have breakfast in area cafes.

We requested upon booking, a sea view room, and our room exceeded our expectations! We were on the 2nd floor, corner room, two sets of double doors. One set opened up to a shared terrace with a stunning view of the water, and the other, was a view of the property's luscious garden which is where breakfast was served every morning. The room was cleaned every day, the bed was super comfortable, and the host and staff were pleasant and helpful. There was lots of choices for breakfast food and great coffee. Location was perfect for shopping, exploring, eating, and admiring the views. Also close to bus station and the funicular down to the beach, and close to Porta Messina, the entrance to the historical centre.

PolandUnfortunately, there is no parking to leave your car in the property, and I had to pay extra for parking outside the city center. I guess it is the case in most of the places in Taormina.
Great place to stay. I really loved the atmosphere of the hotel and the view from balcony.

HungaryEverything went well. Antonella is very friendly and will give You the best apple cake in town, served in a beautiful secret garden. We had a hidden balcony just beside a big common terrace with seawiew. Salvatore and Giacopo were very helpful. The hotel is just 3 minutes from the bus terminal and other 3 minutes from Porta Messina. The room and the bathroom immaculate. I was looking for a simple stay and I found the best place. Grazie mille, ritorniamo!

United StatesThe only comment we had during our stay is that the walls are a bit thin. We are deep sleepers so it wasn’t a problem, but may be helpful for others to know!
Wonderful staff, super convenient location, beautiful rooms and building. Loved it here — the garden area was so serene.

United KingdomBreakfast on the garden terrace with glorious views was a wonderful start to each day. Added bonus it was extremely modestly charged. Also we were invited to use the terrace/verandah at other points in the day as suited us (even to take food/drink there) - a fantastic bonus. The location could not be bettered - you are in the middle of everything you would want to see. Steps away from the sights/shops/restaurants. Another bonus - we had a hire car and the hotel had a car park which was very modestly charged for and a short walk from the hotel. We absolutely loved this place and would recommend it to everyone without hesitation. Final point - staff were so lovely - friendly and kind. A family owned business where they really cared that you had a good time. Would return without doubt.
