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 reviewHotel La Pensione Svizzera was fantastic for our short stay in Taormina! The breakfast was incredible, location fantastic, room clean and comfortable! The lady at the front desk was lovely, super helpful and made us feel very welcome. The staff organised a day at a beach club as well which was beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Nothing!

Verified reviewHotel in a central location, the staff is welcoming, helpful and gives quite a few tips about the city. Trying to find a solution to the parking problem
I am parking for the hotel, parking in the city is only in parking lots at a cost of between 30-40 euros per night

Verified reviewBest location in Taormina. The room was perfect and had amazing views. What a sunrise from this hotel ! The breakfast was magnificent and the service was exceptional. The hotel does not offer parking but you will be directed down the road where you can park within 100 meters from the property after you unload. This parking lot is small but you can park and pay for your days there and you can leave and return with no problem. I emphasize on the location as you are away from the crazy crowds but you are within a short walk from Porta Messina which is one of the entrances into the main area of town and Corso Umberto. This is perfect as you can everything within a short walk from there.

Verified reviewThis is a great hotel with wonderful staff who made us feel really welcome and looked after. On arrival, after a long journey, the manager greeted us with some cold drinks. He also made a personal reservation for us at a really good restaurant within walking distance of the hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable and the views of the bay were amazing both from our bedroom window and the terrace dining area. The breakfast was abundant and offered a whole variety of freshly prepared food from scrambled eggs and ham to fresh fruit, yoghurt, grilled vegetables, cheese and pastries.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay here. The room was good, great view and cleaning was very efficient. The location is excellent - very close to the centre but two minutes walk away, so nice to be away from the busyness. Also very good location for the cable car. Breakfast was homemade and delicious. One day we made use of the partner private beaches, which included transfer from the hotel, and we’d highly recommend
It was all really good. Only thing we missed was an iron in the room
