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 KingdomExtremely clean. Exceptional attention to detail. Lovely sea view (as nice as the strait is I guess, but massive windows which really let in the might of the sea). Very good value for money.

United StatesThis is such a cute little boutique hotel. Rooms are quiet, updated and very clean. I had a nice view of the sea. Breakfast was good. Front desk staff was very nice. The hotel is located inside a building which can be confusing at first but you needed code access to get in the front door and the actual hotel on the second floor which made me feel very safe as a solo traveler. I would definitely stay here again!

MaltaWe travelled by car, parking was challenging, once we understood in which coloured parking you could park, we founded a bit easier. By the 2nd day we got into a routine how to find and pay the small fee.
We loved our stay, room was clean and bed was comfy. Breakfast had everything we want. Central, walking distance from restaurants and other attractions

United StatesI don't know the general price of hotels in Messina, but compared to where I stayed in Rome, maybe a little less would be nice.
The location is very good, a few minutes drive from the ferry, parking is convenient, and the view outside the room window is beautiful. Especially the breakfast, the coffee is delicious, there are a lot of nuts and fruits, and the food is also very rich!

We were greeted by the Owner & Staff. They were exceptionally friendly. Went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. The view from our room was spectacular! Looking out towards the Port of Messina. The cleanliness of our room & the hotel was superb! Breakfast was excellent and we were waited on every morning by such friendly, bilingual staff. The choice of breakfast was outstanding! From cereals, full English breakfast, an excellent choice of Italian croissants & cakes, fresh fruit, yoghurts, tea, coffee, fresh fruit juices. Also on our last day we were due to vacate our room in the early hours. The Hotel Manageress Sabrina made sure that her staff left us covered up breakfast for us. We enjoyed speaking Italian & English with everyone at the hotel. Our room was very clean, beautiful, boutique style with spectacular views of the Port of Messina. Gorgeous, modern, stylish bathroom & shower too. Our bed was extremely comfortable. We will return soon .

Czech RepublicWe arrived quite late on the first day so we wanted to sleep in and didn't even expect to catch breakfast. But they were waiting for us. Just with two croissants and coffee. But this small act of kindnes was awesome. This is the difference between the best and the usual average hotel. I can only recommend, besides the fact that everything other was just perfect.

AustraliaA gem in Messina. Starting with our host, she was ever so kind and accommodating. The Hotel has been recently upgraded and has very clean, modern facilities. The beds are super comfortable, bathrooms very functional and excellent sound proofing. Suites have electronic security keypad to access as well as front street door. The breakfast has a great selection. The Harbour views from our room was a bonus, as we watched passenger ships and boats cruise into Messina port. Location is very central, easy 5 min taxi from Messina station, close to many restaurants and attractions. We will definitely come back and stay at Jolly Charme on our next adventure. Thank you for our stay.
