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 reviewLovely villa, beautifully decorated, we spent only 1 night.
We had an early train and unfortunately the taxi didn't arrive as booked so we had to take a bus, luckily the walk was down hill but this was very stressful and at 7.30am, there was nobody at reception to help. We made our train to siracusa by 1 minute only because it was late!!

Verified reviewGreat place to stay, in a beautiful villa with a charming pool. Our room was very nice, clean and cool, with great matrasses. Close to the beach and the lovely boulevard, Parking on the street for free.
The WiFi was as good as non-existent and the fridge wasn't working very well.

Verified reviewThe host was very friendly, most accommodating and went out of his way to ensure that our stay was pleasant. Antonio was also a wealth of information with regards to sites to visit and places to eat at! Great location about 15 min to Taormina and 25 min to Isola Bella. Steps away from the beach!

It’s was a little jewel of hotel around in an unexpected neighborhood which looked not so luxurious or safe. But it turned out that Hotel was extremely well designed and well decorated with comfortable and pleasant details. The owner,

Verified reviewI would strongly advise to avoid this place. Main pain points for us have been: * Impossible to get a good night sleep * Poor sound isolation, starting with 6am you will hear everything happening on street and there is a lot of noise from cars and trains * Poor thermal isolation, it is like a sauna in the room when you are back and in our case and other rooms there was no working air conditioning. In our case, they promised to change to another room or repair the air conditioning but none of the option happened * Also missing services * There is a small kitchen in the room but there is no equipment, not even a single glass, fork or bin * It was specified free parking, but basically it means leaving your car on the street in spots not marked for parking * There is a very small swimming pool with some chairs but you have to pay 8€ * There is no breakfast possible, even if advertised as so. There is only the possibility to get a coffee but don’t ask for some milk, they don’t have. * Unfriendly attitude of persons and that is when they are available, don’t expect anyone to talk to after 8pm or before 8am. Also nobody speak a word of English if you need it. * They entered the room to clean and we found it unlocked when we were back (direct access to room from the entry of the building where everybody can see or have access)
Dear Sir, We are sorry for what happened but unfortunately the air conditioning played a bad trick on us, even though I had offered you a change of room that you did not accept, perhaps you had become attached to the room that I had assigned you, a nice triple with a terrace and not a double for what you paid. I want to point out that we speak English, unfortunately I do not speak Romanian so perhaps there was a communication problem, on booking.com, that is, on the site that you booked, it is clearly written what the house rules are, so you just had to take a more in-depth look and choose whether to reserve or not, clearly if you did not accept you could very well have chosen another structure and you could have avoided mentioning certain things, in the meantime you can have breakfast with us, you just had to ask and pay for it, which you did not do, in exchange I offered you 4 coffees for which you did not pay, as regards the kitchen inside the room, that is decorative, you did not understand it, that is why there were no dishes, for my availability do not allow me to mention it because I was at your disposal for the entire period of your stay. I would like to tell you to stay calm because we are at the customer's service and we work hard to leave him satisfied. Kind regards VillaCristina

The location was perfect for exploring Giardini Naxos and Taormina. And we thought the staff were very helpful and friendly. We would love to stay again.

Verified reviewThe room was fine for one night and the owner was very nice.
Unfortunately, there was no one there to let us in when we arrived (during check in hours) so we had to wait a while and try to phone someone. There was also a lot of drilling and gardening noise until 10pm and starting again before 6am.
