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.).

United KingdomThe first room we were offered was little more than a cupboard just off the reception area. In fairness when they saw how disappointed we were the staff immediately moved us to a very nice room with sea view and balcony. The restaurant was only averagely good but very pricey and the wine list was seriously overpriced. Also beware: there are stairs everywhere so it is not a suitable place for anyone with mobility issues.
The hotel has lovely views over the water and has particularly beautiful gardens, which are very peaceful. It is easy to get into Taormina old town either on the free shuttle bus or by the cable car which is directly opposite the entrance to the hotel. The hotel is a traditional old villa with extra rooms built in a separate block immediately next to the main house.

United KingdomPretty expensive hotel, but you do know what you’re getting yourself in for and the service is truly exceptional.
Absolutely stunning setting. Well maintained property with beautiful grounds. Little touches to welcome us and bid us goodbye. The beach and pool are both lovely. Service was consistently excellent. A little boat trip was included and was a lovely thing to do. We booked an Ape tour through the hotel and it was great fun. As a woman with long hair I also appreciated the top class hair dryer in the hotel room!

The food, facilities and the view were amazing but probably the service was beyond expectations. Every member of the staff was very friendly, professional, helpful and thoughtful. We celebrated my wife’s birthday there, and as a surprise they sent us a very nice cake to our room so that we could blow her candles and similar at the dinner in their restaurant that evening, without any of us telling or organizing anything. It was so thoughtful! We went there also with a 8 month old baby and they were so helpful and nice to us as a young family. Just can’t recommend it enough!! A must stay in Taormina!
