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.).

The breakfast was excellent, the breakfast room was small but delightful with a magnificent view. While our room did not have a view our small private courtyard was lovely. From the moment we arrived until we left we were made to feel welcome and valued.

This is a truly wonderful and brilliantly-run hotel. The staff are the most kind and helpful we have ever come across, so many thanks to Paulo and all his team (Klaudia, Antonini, the other very pleasant gentleman on reception and all other staff). The hotel was immaculate, bursting with character, the breakfast & service were fabulous with beautiful views of Mount Etna, the apertitifs on the roof-top terrace memorable. Thank you for making our 4-night 20th wedding anniversary so special, we will return.

Hotel is in a fantastic location - just walk down the stairs to everything in Taormina. Breakfast was very good and is located on a great terrace overlooking Mt. Etna.

United KingdomWe loved everything.
The property is a period ex family villa turned into boutique hotel. The room was large, clean and with the most comfortable bed. We had a veranda with sea and Mount Etna view. All staff were amazing from the moment we arrived - via an aggressive overpriced taxi, to the moment we left. Breakfast was served at the top of the Villa with an amazing view. The breakfast food was good and varied. Without prompting I was wished happy birthday on day 2 of our stay and a bottle of Prosecco left in our room. Welcome drinks were offered on our arrival. Our stay was a delight from start to finish and we will definitely return..

United StatesFinding the hotel by car was a little tricky, but if you follow the directions to the Baddia Vecchia someone from the hotel will meet you and drive the car to the hotel.
This adorable and charming hotel is located in the perfect Taormina location. It's just steps away from shopping and restaurants. The breakfast room has a wonderful view of the sea and Mt. Etna as well as great food and coffee. The personalized service we received while staying at the hotel was amazing. The concierge made dinner reservations for us at the most delicious local restaurants for us each night (Trattoria Tiramisu was our fav!). Overall, great experience staying at Hotel Villa Taormina.

NetherlandsNothing, we love everything.
I am very happy we did book this hotel. From the arrival to valet parking to check in with a welcome drink, everything was smooth. We were very happy staying at this hotel. The room we booked has a good space. The sheets were luxurious, I am very particular with the thread count. The luxurious Ortigia scent is all throughout the property and of course its bath line is being used by the hotel. The breakfast location is amazing, you have the 90 degrees view of the sea and the spread of choices is enough. Everything is locally made which is unfortunate for us that we cant buy the lime and orange jam that they served because it is delicious. The inner courtyard garden was a surprise. The location of this property is perfect. You will feel at home on this place, the people working at this property is very hospitable. We would love to come back and stay more!

We were amazed by beautiful details, furniture and design in a building and rooms. View from the balcony and rooftop was stunning. Stuff was so helpful, nice and kind, they took care of everything. Villa Taormina was 5 min by walk from main boutique street with restaurants and cafes. I definitely recommend you staying in this hotel. One more thing- thanks to this hotel, I got to know about ORTIGIA cosmetics brand. Villa Taormina is fully equipted with those marvellous cosmetics, even bathrobe and hairdryer were from the top. We will come back! :)

Their dinner suggestions were impeccable and their sense of Taormina guides was first rate! If we did not have to come home, we would still be there! First rate in every way!!!
