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 KingdomIt was all great. No complaints.
This place is a perfect mix between well managed and manicured common spaces and private areas next to your apartment / villa. So if you want to mix with the other guests great. If not then that’s great too. Wonderful views over the sea. Relaxing. Quiet. Wonderful. And taking about wonderful - Luigi the owner / manager is so communicative, a font of knowledge on where to go, how to get there, where to park etc. he’s the man !

We had a great stay at the apartment with the pool- everything was amazing! The place was clean, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing. The pool was a big plus, and the view was beautiful. Luigi welcomed us and was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. The location was also great- it was close to the nearest shop and other attractions. We truly recommend this place- we had a wonderful time!

SwitzerlandThe only thing was that our small private pool had water that tasted bit chemically (maybe had some water cleaning stuff) and I preferred to not have my kids swimming there. The bigger pool was perfect though!
Fantastic location, beautiful garden full of lush trees and plants, beautifully maintained. Stunning view on the coast and sunrise. Luigi was the best Host ever, super friendly, helpful, sharing tips, even prepared hot tub for us one evening - couldn't imagine a better host really. The place is calm and surrounded by nature, not touristic, had an authentic vibe, the interiors had many little elements lice ceramic etc, you can feel the heart and effort put into every detail. Thank you Luigi and Team!

CanadaUnfortunately we had some rain during our stay. It would have been nice if there was an awning over the side patio so we could have still been outside as it was warm out, just wet. There are no soft chairs or a couch inside the property so when you have to stay indoors it is not that comfortable sitting at the kitchen table.
Luigi was very helpful and responsive and made checking in and out very easy.

PolandThe swimming pool wasn't clean so I didn't feel like to use it. If you have trees around you need to work hard to keep it nice and clean.
The area is amazing like tropical garden. The apartment is spacious and you get everything you need. It is a great spot to go to Taormina or to Etna but peaceful and calm. The views from the terrace are great, you can watch the sea and coast while having morning coffee. There are other apartments but it gives you a feeling of privacy. There is a small round tub for you but water was quite cold.

United KingdomLocation was remote and not what booking.com state. It's 49 kilometres from Catania Airport and the taxi ride was €150. Our advice is hire a car at the airport, don't use SIXT as they wanted €707 for 5 days car hire, use Hertz in the booth next door as they charge €410 for 5 days hire. Forget Mascali beach, its not what it's cracked up to be. There are nicer places elsewhere. Other downside which makes parts of Sicily look dreadful is the fly tipping and litter by the roadside. This was even on local news with the Sicilians complaining about it. We noticed this as soon as we left the airport but it gets better as you head into the rural areas.
Excellent accommodation, we were in the separate 3 bedroom complex with its own gardens, private pool and Jacuzzi, Luigi the owner was a great host, he even rescued us from Giarre after we couldn't get a taxi and took us to a local place where we were able to hire a car at a good price. Lungi speaks Excellent English. Facilities were superb, great views down to local towns and the sea. Would definitely stay again. Train ride around ETNA was nice. Ask Luigi about this. Taormina is a beautiful town up the coast and reachable easily by car.

NetherlandsThe bed could be a bit more comfortable, but that could be a personal preference.
The place is beautiful and Luigi is a great host. Places like the beach, the Etna, and popular destinations are within reach and Luigi has some great tips for all of them. The swimming pool gets cleaned daily and is relaxing, especially with the stunning view in the background. I would definitely recommend it, as well for couples as families.
