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.).

SerbiaAlthough it offers the full panoramic view, I would not recommend it for people without a car, as there are around stairs to climb from the city center. Also, the buses don’t really function in Sicily.
This is a normal Italian B&B, really good quality. The view is wonderful.

SloveniaIts quite a difficult first drive to arrive and park but once you figure it out it gets easier.
Great location, close to a very good restaurant, good views over Taormina just few steps up the road (at the restaurant), where there are also steps to descend to Taormina center. Responsive host on the day of arrival. Make sure to read the self check in instructions before you get there exhausted in the afternoon heat :D

LithuaniaWe booked this hotel specifically because breakfast was included. However, upon arrival we found out that there was no breakfast. Neither the advance notice nor the booking.com website said that there was no breakfast and the price was the same, even though we did not get breakfast, which is included in the price.
The location was perfect! The view from the window was stunning!

United StatesSteps, it took me thirteen minutes to go up those stairs and I'm a runner. In the event you have luggage it would be difficult and you probably have to take a taxi from the bottom.
The room was good value and had nice views from the top. For sure it was quiet and the host was attentive, especially when the remote for the Air Con was not working, she was going to run over, however I popped the batteries out and placed it back in, voila situation averted.They do clean the room which was nice and unexpected.

United StatesThe room was VERY small, to the extent that our twin beds were almost touching. I realize that bidets are very popular in Europe, but they leave little room for toiletries, except balanced precariously on the sink. It would have been nice to have some recommendations as to restaurants, things to do, etc., since there's only one rather expensive restaurant and a bar nearby, with nowhere to have breakfast except in town. Parking also is rather limited, especially when the restaurant is open.
The view, especially of Etna, was great, especially from the lovely patio. The area is quite quiet and there's a nice walkway nearby leading into town, if you're fit, which takes about 20 min. Our host was nice enough to carry our bags up the 3 flights of stairs.

Hungary- it is only recommended if you are with a car, because the apartment might be 900 m from the centre but it is also 400 m ABOVE it. So if you are by walk (like we were) don't be surprised (like we were) that you have to climb the whole mountain above Taormina to get here. - the inner soundproofing is almost zero. It is clearly audible if someone speaks in the corridor or in the rooms around you. - a microwave oven / water heater would have been expected for this price
- the man who was waiting for us was very kind and patient, tho we lated almost an hour - they waited us with a bottle of cold water - the panorama of the room was stunning. It is hard to describe how beautiful it was. - the interior was cozy and elegant with nice Sicilian tiles - there was a refrigerator in the apartment and it was so silent that we easily could sleep beside it (rare thing in Sicilia)

PolandI'd say: 400m to the center -> vertically 900m to the beach -> horizontally
The view is great, localization also but you need to know how to travel with local transport up and down the hill OR love the fit/sporty lifestyle. If the lifestyle -> remember to use backpack not the suitcase unless you are hardcore ;)

United KingdomThere is no breakfast included. It would be nice to have a kettle with tea/coffee in the room.
We could park the car on the road. The B&B is located on the top of the hill so has an amazing views of Etna. Taromina is walking distance (steps) . It takes 15 min to go down and a bit longer to come back but the view is amazing. There is a lovely church at the end of the road, restaurant & coffee bar.

PolandThe place is called "B&B" but there was no breakfast served due to covid - it was the only place during our trip without the breakfast, so felt like an excuse ;) The owner could have been a little nicer to the guests.
We loved the location on the top of the mountain with a breathtaking view from the apartment. There's a great restaurant just a few steps away. Be mindful that going to the city center of Taormina means taking more than 500 steps down and up, for some people might be a challenge but we definitely loved the walk :) The apartment itself was clean and unique, had a nice balcony, perfect to enjoy the evening view with a glass of wine.

United KingdomBathroom was small. On their description of the hotel, the owners MUST emphasise the distance to the town centre on foot. Going down the stairs is fine but going back up is long. I tried to contact the owners about the WIFI code as this information was not found in the room. They did not respond to my message, I know they read it as my mobile indicated they had read my message. If they have no WIFI then don’t offer it on their advertisement.
The view from our balcony was good.
