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 KingdomStyle is a little dated but was lovely and clean, beds were super comfy and the views are sublime. We also really enjoyed the balcony.
Really loved our stay in hotel Sirius. We especially enjoyed the pool area - lovely and quiet, easy to get space, great poolside snack bar and amazing views. Pool was also lovely and deep for kids jumping in etc. We spent every day there and then enjoyed strolling into Taormina in the evenings for a bite to eat.

GeorgiaBreakfast was okay, but i think it can be better. Not big choice of meat and vegetables.
I'm inlove with this hotel! I think hotel rooms in normal not best, but pool and view is everything why everyone should stay at this hotel. I think this hotel has one of the best views in Taormina. It is next to the cable cars so u can go to Mazzaro or Isola bella very easy. It's in the city center, every shop, restaurant are nearby. I'm inlove with hotel's staff too. They all were very cute and kind, especially boy who works at swimming pool bar. He was always very kind and made us veryyy delicious coffee and cocktails. Pizza was very yummy too. If u want to have perfect, peaceful holidays u should stay here.

AustraliaSome issues with the wifi but didn’t really bother us
Well located, amazing views, really good breakfast, very helpful and friendly staff, great pool, clean and comfortable room with a lovely balcony and what seemed like newly renovated bathrooms. It was a great place to relax away from the crowds in Taormina, but we were still close so could not easily walk to the centre. We had a lovely time, definitely recommend!

United KingdomNothing! Everything was perfect.
we had a beautiful view of the sea and watched the sunrise one morning. Super friendly staff who were so welcoming. Perfect position for the town centre and the cable car, bus depot to Naxos etc. And we booked parking in advance so could leave our car on site. Was just what we needed. The pool was also a huge plus as the journey down to the sea is quite a schlep. The pool had loads of space. Loved it.

IrelandBreakfast was disappointing, not much hot food and there was only a selection other 2 hot things. We only went 3 days out of 10 for this reason. Although the pool was quiet and always easy to get beds, the amenities felt tired. The sun visors on the sunbeds kept falling on us and during windy days the parasols could not go up and we were sunburnt because of this.
We had a great stay at the hotel, staff were very pleasant. The pool was very quiet and always easy to get a sun bed. The pool guy was very friendly and lovely to deal with. The room 135 had a great shower and bathroom and spacious balcony.
