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.).

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.

Comfortable room with a lovely little balcony overlooking the garden and out to the sea. The location was central to everything yet the room was quiet at night. The breakfast was all sweets but delicious and delightful to dine in the garden. The hotel has private parking available close by for 10 euros/ day. There are two parking spots dedicated for the hotel right on the street just past the bus stop. You can park there to check in and unload your bags. It was a relief to leave our rental car and just walk everywhere.

PolandIs a beautiful place in Taormina. Great location, close to anywhere you want and at the same time it's quiet with a beautiful sea, town and mountain views. We loved the sunset at the terrace attached to the room. And we loved the full and tasty breakfast offered by the host in the garden. The host was very friendly and supportive. I hope we could come back one day.

DenmarkThis hotel was more than expected, it had everything close by, very central. It's close to the bus stop, the street towards the beach, there is a supermarket close by and smalls shops for snacks. You can have breakfast very cheap and they where very helpful in any way you could need it. Its like living in a little castle. Very nice, I would love to come back to this Hotel.
