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.).

BulgariaThe atmosphere of the tiny old streets and the view from the room make the place magical! The room was very spacious with a small terrace from which you can see Etna. The host is very friendly and helpfull. I would definately recommand the place and stay there again if I go back to Sicily.

AustriaNothing to complain.
We had such a wonderful stay at the hotel! The family running the hotel is so nice and paying attention to every detail. They really want to make you feel great at your stay. I had my birthday and they were so kind to upgrade us to the suite! They even wanted to prepare something for breakfast because we didn’t find anything gluten-free the day before. Very much recommend the stay here!

United KingdomWe had an issue with the room noise level initially. The room upstairs has little sound proofing and the noise was really loud. The staff were great though, and we moved rooms after the first night, which was super quiet. The staff were awesome on this 😁
Beautiful setting, the breakfast was great, room in the end was super comfortable, great value and if you like hiking it was very walkable to and from Taormina in the evening (40mins walk) 😁 The views from this town are unreal, nice and quaint town, perfect location for some peace outside of Taormina.

United StatesThe room window looked to a street almost at the same level.
We loved Castelmola. Borgo Medievale was in a good location if you don't have a car. We left the car in the parking they told us. Then had to walk a few blocks. They sent us a video of how to reach the hotel. It was very useful. Advice: have a small carry on or a shoulder bag for all your belongings.

United KingdomOur only regret was only booking to stay one night.
The location in Castelmola was a beautifully located collection of rooms. Our flight was delayed so we arrived late and the host, Chiara, was absolutely fantastic. Videos of the last stages of the drive into the village and step by step photos of every street and turn, the keys, the room. etc. You could not ask for a more helpful host, who then added more, with restaurant recommendations and discount notes. Thank you.

PolandWe had a room with a great Etna view from the terrace! The owner gave us clear instructions on how to park the car and get to the appartment by climbing few steps. It was really worth it. Appartment is in the centre of Castelmola. Breakfast was italian style - fresh coffee and sweet fresh bakery. Amazin place!

ItalyThis is completely subjective, but the mattress was memory foam which didn’t suit my partner. That’s the only thing we didn’t like (it was fine for me)!
A beautiful location, right in the centre of Castelmola, the old Borgo has been fitted with fresh modern rooms and spa. Beautifully done. We also brought our Vizsla and everyone was so welcoming of her!
