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.).

Just one word to describe our incredible stay: amazing!!! This is a beautiful family-run establishment where we were truly treated with the utmost care and attention. The service provided by Sara was absolutely five-star quality. The food served on-site is simple, made with local products, and absolutely delicious — and the homemade cakes prepared by the mother for breakfast were out of this world! The property itself is stunning, featuring a lovely pool with breathtaking views of the countryside and the sea. If we ever return to Sicily, we will definitely come back to Antico Borgo Petralia!

The property is beautiful and well maintained. There are many lovely places to sit around the property and a nice pool. The property is run by a family who goes above to make sure you are happy. This is the best level of hospitality that I have ever seen. The breakfast is great and we had a yummy dinner one night also. Sarah also set up a nice wine excursion for us. We were sad to leave such a charming place. Do not hesitate to book here!

United KingdomThis is a fantastic place with the most welcoming family. Sara made us (my wife and five year old daughter) feel at home from the moment we arrived. They continued to make sure we were happy. The freshly baked cakes for breakfast were delicious and the dinner served was of the highest quality. We felt extremely comfortable throughout the week and the location provides a great view of Mount Etna. Sara also gave great advice on places to visit and park. I highly recommend, a truly brilliant experience.

Stunning place between the sea and Mt Etna. Sara and her family do everything they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Ideal location to visit Taormina (nice city!) and Etna. Dinner is very good. You can have breakfast and dinner outside if you want to. We had a nice, clean room (also a little fridge) with a beautiful view. Bathroom has everything you need.

Beautiful setting with gorgeous views of Mt. Etna on one side & the Mediterranean Sea on the other. However, what makes the place special is the wonderful staff. Front desk Sara organizing, and her mother doing some (not all) of the cooking & baking. Tasty treats served with a laugh and a smile by this wonderful family! Loved it.

We could not have asked for any more from Sara, her family and the staff - Sara went above and beyond to help us. The food was wonderful, the smell of the homemade cakes etc at breakfast was divine. Such a lovely place to stay, the friendliness of the family and staff made it a stay far beyond our expectations. Thank you.
