Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomWe popped our tire just in front of the accommodation, the host went above and beyond to help us get it sorted as quick as possible as we were flying out in 2 days. We are so grateful for the hospitality we received! The food was amazing too, we had breakfast and dinners there. Beautiful location, was very relaxing by the pool. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

The owner/ manager was very friendly, accommodating and informative. He waited for us to get there. Breakfast was fresh and very good. Staff was very professional friendly and accomodating. Place is very relaxing. beautiful mountain view.

BelgiumThe access road to reach the property, but you get used to it pretty quickly.
The wonderful location amongst the olive a d citrus trees, exceptional staff, excellent food, spacious rooms with large balconies and great views of the mountains. The property also has a huge (20 m) swimming pool. Maurizio went out of his way to make our stay one to remember. He showed great flexibility in accommodating the wishes of a big group. The food was fantastic - homemade with great inredients. Wonderful cakes at breakfast. We hope to return.

MaltaPerhaps the only negative points I would give are for the limited breakfast, uncomfortable pillows and no bar or vending machine.
The setting of the accomodation is superb. It is surrounded with mountains and hills. Also the location is fantastic because one can reach some very interesting sites like Le Gole d'Alcantara, Etna, Taormina, Isola Bella, Etnaland and various other small villages nested in the mountains all within 20mins to 1hr30mins. The rooms are big and have a lovely terrace with nice views. The place is kept very clean. Owner Mauricio and staff very friendly and helpful. The 20m pool is also a great addition to this accommodation. It is kept in an immaculate condition.

United KingdomTricky drive from the main road - narrow, tight turns, poor surface - better for a small battered car than a medium sized new hire car! And because of this, would have been nice to eat at the hotel in the evening but although dinner was on offer there was no choice and it was quite expensive so we had it once only. Also couldn’t leave fridge on when not in room so was difficult to keep drinking water cold.
Beautiful pool with views across the valley; accommodation spread across separate buildings each having 4 apartments; breakfast served on terrace with fantastic view; friendly and flexible owner

MaltaIs it absolutely difficult to reach, however if you need to contact the staff they would for sure be so helpful. If you are with a rental car or your own car it is at your own risk to drive up to the stay as you have to pass through water that is constantly flowing and pass through soft gravel. I do not recommend passing through during the night as it would be pitch black darkness. Low water pressure due to damage tap system. We were only provided with hand soap so make sure to bring your own shower gel.
The facilities are split away from the main reception, it is like living in maisonette (4 are available) in the house. the staff were very helpful, able to contact as they do not stay on the premises. The pool looked nice however we did not use it. They provided us with towels and had room cleaning daily. The breakfast was only ham, cheese, some croissants and coffee and tea, very basic.

MaltaSome of the facilities are in dire need of a restoration although still serving their purpose. Though le Oreadi is past it's glory days, it still succeeds to lure you through the natural beauty of the place. Staff was very helpful and nice. The access to the premises, which is through a narrow winding road, can be a bit challenging especially if you are driving a big car.
The location, situated in the alcantara valley is very nice. Surrounded by nature and tranquility. Gole dell' alcantara, Taormina, Messina, Francavilla di Sicilia and many other borghi and villages, all reachable especially if you are travelling by car.
