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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Great boutique hotel just steps away from Corso Umberto (2min walk). The staff were friendly and accommodating. The rooms are spacious and the hotel is always very clean. There are only 9 rooms so it is quite private. Breakfast in the morning was excellent. I would highly recommend.

The hotel is in a perfect location, just steps from Corso Umberto and Porta Catania, where all the action and shops are. Grocery store right across from there, and a great cannolo shop next to it, which is definitely worth trying. The staff at the hotel is absolutely great, extremely helpful with organizing boat and Etna excursion, dinner reservations, general questions about the town, and they make your stay as smooth as possible. Giuseppe, Manuela and Graziano were amazing. Breakfast was also really good, all fresh food and ingredients. From Italian to American, there’s something for everyone with panty of choices. Staff was also great. Also worth trying Al Saraceno restaurant while there, a recommendation from the Hotel, you won’t be disappointed, great food and beautiful views of Taormina. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, no hesitation.

NetherlandsStaff was friendly with amazing tips to go around, avoid the most tourist attractions that are too expensive and not nice. We went to beaches and restaurantes indicated by the staff that were better than anything we can find online. Other than that, facilities were as described, has everything we need and it's super clean, not to mention that breakfast which is amazing. Would recommend to anyone.

Italymaybe a coffee machine is needed jn the room. Otherwise, nothing negative to mention about. It was a great stay overall.
Location , really close to everything!! Helpful and friendly staff, ready to help each time. Giuseppe a grand ringraziamento ancora! The cleanliness of the room is noteworthy! It smelled nice and clean even from the first step in the room. Nice and useful toiletries. The breakfast was delicious, homemade, of great quality, lots of choices, good coffee, and the two ladies in the kitchen that serve the most kind and smiley persons you can ever meet. Thank you all for the great stay! I will surely be back again!

United KingdomBreakfast was okay but if you arrived late they didn't replenish too quickly. Car park price was high. Quite difficult to drive in and out of Toarmina with the road works going on. One male member of staff was a bit grumpy on the last day as we felt he was expecting a tip and we had hardly any prior contact with him during our stay
Excellent location. There was one man on reception (unfortunately we forgot his name) who resembled Stanley Tucci who was absolutely wonderful - he was so friendly and helpful. He recommended some restaurants and gave us useful info. He gave us a kettle so we could make tea / coffee in our room. He gave us a very nice welcome. Nice big room. We did an excellent Etna Wine Tour

We loved everything about it! Despite getting in very later Adel was there to meet us and open up the parking area! He was great explaining the hotel areas. The next morning we met the owner Giuseppe and his wife who couldn’t have been nicer and were so helpful recommending restaurants and maps of the city! At breakfast (pastries, cereal, meats and cheese) the server was so kind and has great conversation! This is a small boutique hotel in the perfect area! I definitely recommend it!
