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.).

United StatesThe bathroom was very small, dark & dated. Also the rude & inappropriate male server’s behavior from the breakfast buffet, who got upset because I filled my water bottle before leaving for a day tour…. He was disrespectful and very aggressive which was shocking to my husband and I.
The best things about this hotel are: the location, the architecture & the beautiful pool area surrounded by gardens with the view of the whole coast of Taormina!!

United StatesA bit dated (but helps keep the price most reasonable). 4 Star, not 5. Wish it had a gym, personally. Coffee could be better if you want to nitpick.
Loved everything. Location at one end of town is positioned perfectly with bomb views of Mt. Etna, Giardini Naxos and coastline and Castelmola. Ample property with gardens, peace and quiet, nature and lovely pool area. Clean and comfortable room and property. Breakfast buffet included.

LithuaniaThe noise! Our deluxe room was connected with other two rooms in both sides just by doors, which means that we could hear every word of our neighbors! Lack of privacy is one thing, but also, we couldn't have a good rest because they would wake up early and start talking (not shouting, just talking, but the noise isolation is so poor it was enough to wake us both up). That's a shame, as the bed was so comfortable. Came home quite tired because of lack of sleep
This hotel is absolutely perfect for stunning views - this is what primarily keeps us coming back. Perfect location, nice staff, everything's clean. Love the bathtub in the room. We also had a cute tiny balcony where we could drink coffee while enjoying the sunset view. A bowl of fresh fruits in the room was a nice touch. The bed was huge and very comfortable.
