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 KingdomThere was nothing that we disliked.
We liked everything about this hotel. It's absolutely beautiful. The location is excellent and the view from the hotel is breathtaking. The staff are very friendly and efficient. Danilo in particular was excellent. He checked us in and from then he was hugely helpful with restaurant bookings and information on beautiful Taormina. The room we had was large and very comfortable. The swimming pool area was a little haven.

United KingdomNothing to criticise.
Superb location, great facilities, amazing views and outlook from the hotel. The breakfast was fantastic and bar and pool were great. All the staff were incredibly attentive, Amber and Lucia were amazingly helpful during our weeks stay and Maria’s historic and ice-cream tours of Taormina were brilliant.

BrazilMy room was faced to Corso Umberto and we could hear the noise from the street. If you have a room faced to the sea you will not have this problem. Our suggestion is to install a soundproof window for rooms which are back to the street
Good space.

AustraliaThe Best Hotel Experience We’ve Ever Had! Hotel Metropole Taormina is hands down the best hotel we have ever stayed in. We originally planned to stay for just two nights but ended up extending to four because we simply couldn’t bring ourselves to leave. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like absolute royalty. The staff here genuinely go above and beyond nothing is ever too much trouble, and they make you feel so special every single day. The location is unbeatable. You’re less than a five-minute walk from absolutely everything in Taormina, yet the hotel feels like its own peaceful oasis. The pool area is incredible, offering breathtaking views that you’ll never forget. Breakfast each morning was a highlight not only was the food beautiful and fresh, but the service was exceptional. The gentleman at the breakfast buffet (we didn’t catch his name) amazed us by remembering our drink order every single morning and greeting us with the warmest smile. A special mention to Maria and Ambra, who were absolutely amazing throughout our stay. Their kindness and attention to detail truly made our experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a luxury stay where you’ll be cared for in every possible way, Hotel Metropole is it. We will be dreaming about this place until we can return!

From the moment we arrived, we were treated like absolute royalty. The staff here genuinely go above and beyond nothing is ever too much trouble, and they make you feel so special every single day. Our room was cleaned 2–3 times a day, always left spotless, and filled with thoughtful touches like chocolates and fresh water bottles that made us feel truly pampered. The location is unbeatable.

IrelandNothing - everything was great
Property location is breathtaking and the staff go above and beyond expectations. From the moment we arrived, Danilo met us with warmth, he made our arrival so memorable and continued to help us navigate Taormina throughout our stay with advice for the beaches, restaurants and transfers. He was so helpful and made phone calls for us to make reservations in Italian. He couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfast was delicious and staff were attentive and friendly. The pool is a stunning space to relax and just absorb the stunning views. Hotel Metropole is incredible and no photo we saw before our arrival did it justice.

United KingdomThe breakfast for a 5 star hotel was poor, there wasn’t much to choose from and most of it you had to pay extra for. The breakfast service was very chaotic and we waited 40 mins and had to ask 3 times just to get a cup of tea!
Loved the location and the outside seating area, had such a great view, the staff were so attentive and welcoming and the room and balcony made for an extremely pleasant stay.

Saudi ArabiaThere is nothing to mention.
This is a great location and a luxurious hotel, we really loved everything from the minute we stepped in. The staff at the reception were very friendly and pleasant, in particular Marie Angelique who went beyond the call of duty to help us with our flight booking when ITA cancelled our flight due to the strike. She managed to get us upgraded to a suite, which has a superb view from the balcony. Super clean and comfortable place.
