How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewView amazing, concierge & all staff so very helpful, link to sister hotel for beach was brilliant. The swimming pool was beautiful and we were so close to the restaurants & shopping
bathroom very small and a bit dated but shower worked well! I would get rid of the old rusty hotel sign as it makes the hotel look old fashioned and under invested

Verified reviewLoved the hotel so much we booked another night! Thanks to the staff for assisting. The hotel is like a step back in time and the view from our room with the big sea view and Etna was amazing..
I found the older man (perhaps the owner) at the reception a little rude.. he was constantly shushing one of the female workers in reception while I was organising another night’s stay, which made me feel a little uncomfortable

Verified reviewOur room had a stunning view of both Mount Etna and the coast of Taormina. The room's terrace was large and we also appreciated the pool, also with great views and a very relaxing place to be. The buffet breakfast was served on another lower terrace with a choice of sunshine or shade. The hotel has great 1960's charm and period features with modern comforts. Also, it is sighted away from the main crowds. Another bonus is the sister hotel on the beach offering free access to their beach club sun-lounges, towels and a beach umbrella. There is a chargeable shuttle to this, or walk as we did.
The hotel is at the top of the town; great view but lots of steps to access.

Verified reviewWhat a wonderful stay! The view from this hotel never gets old. We paid for a sea view room and would highly recommend, definitely worth it. We enjoyed finishing our nights with Prosecco on the balcony! Aircon worked well. The breakfast was great with lots of options. The staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. Very hard working! The pool was excellent. No issues finding sun beds and such a stunning view. We also made use of the sister beach hotel which is incredibly good value for the beach lounges and transport (€9 per person) The beach is private and we preferred it to the other main beaches in Taormina! A huge plus of this hotel. We loved the location. It’s close enough to the action about a 10 minute walk downstairs. Excellent food options nearby. Definitely better to stay up the hill than down at the beach from our perspective!
The hotel is certainly old and the bathrooms in particular could do with an upgrade. However it does have an older charm and provided you are prepared for some older facilities (eg. the lift is tiny) then you will still enjoy! The view, location and pool outweighs the dated facilities.

Verified reviewStaff were absolutely amazing. Always friendly and courteous. Nothing was too much trouble. The location, with views towards Etna and the sea were incredible. Rooms were spacious enough for two people and their baggage. Even though some might find the bathroom a little dated, it was clean and everything was in good condition. Lift was a little small, but all part of the charm. Breakfast, thanks to choice, quality, service and the views was a perfect start to every day. Pool was great; in a wonderful position , above average size , and the water temperature was perfect.

Verified reviewA lovely, well established hotel run with love and attention to detail. Valet parking was easy and our luggage was delivered to our bedroom. The bedroom had plenty of space for the four of us and although it was slightly dated, it was clean and the beds were comfortable. The air conditioning worked fine. The pool (3 metres deep at the deep end and a bridge at the shallow) was wonderful with towels provided and set in a beautiful garden that overlooked the sea and Taormina. There was a piano for our son to play and we enjoyed our drinks on the large terrace and at the pool with great views. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We didn’t take advantage of the private beach and shuttle to it but certainly would have with more time. Breakfast was great with fresh fruit, tomatoes, meats, pastries and freshly cooked eggs. Most importantly, they had oats muesli - much needed fibre!
Not really. The room had no view but that we knew beforehand.
