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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesI liked everything
Lya communicated well before the visit. She greeted us warmly and was very helpful. She went out of her way to prepare breakfast earlier than usual so we wouldn’t miss our Mt. Etna hike. Her breakfast was delicious and I highly recommend staying there if you want a great view of the ocean and want to stay away from the crowds on the Taormina hill.

BelgiumNothing. It is close to the train station so you hear the announcements if the windows are open but the windows are well isolated, so if closed, it is quiet.
Very cozy place with a wonderful host. Breakfast was excellent. Lya really makes you feel at home. The location is great, two minutes from the train station and the bus stoops. You can take the direct bus to the airport from there. There is also the municipal bus that takes you to the center of town. 10 mimtuew walking from the beach and lumgomare of Giardini Naxos.

CanadaThe other guests can be quite loud outside the room but that isn’t anything against the property.
The owner, Lya, is an absolute lovely person. It was just me for breakfast as it is the end of the season and she still gave me options. Bedding and pillows were very comfortable. Wifi was really good. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to access the centre of Taormina by bus in front of the train station or to be able to walk 11 minutes to Gardini Naxos on the other side of the property. If you are up for an adventure walk the steep and narrow path from Taormina centre down to the B&B. Some pretty amazing views during the day.

United StatesNothing negative to add.
Breakfast exceeded expectations. Lots of choice and good quality. The location was great for using the train. The fact that the B&B was down the hill from the city was no problem. There are 3 different bus options, all were inexpensive, and even kind of fun. But for people who don't like public transportation it might be a problem. I will definitely stay here next time I visit Taormina.

Lya is one of the kindest hosts I have ever met on my travels. She was very helpful and welcoming. She gave us loads of useful tips for the area nearby. The BnB itself is very clean and has a convenient location near the train station, which is nice if you want to travel around the area. Also some beautiful beaches are just a couple of minutes away. Would definitely stay there again!

NetherlandsThe B&B is so cute and the location is super. It is near the station and busstop. I was traveling solo and the room for one person is perfect. Lya is so kind, and every morning she had a good breakfast prepared. She also has a lot of tips for visiting places and traveling. I had the best time in this B&B. It is a bit out of centre, but it is a nice walk and nice bustrip to the city centre of Taormina and Isola Bella.

Lya, the host is just an amazing person, making the stay there even better. The location is good, close to the train station and bus stop. But if you like walking, then everything we visited in Taromina and Giardini Naxos was max 30-45 min walk away. Just getting up to Taormina through a tiny pedestrian road was quite a hike (but we were warned about it by Lya). Breakfast given by Lya was also lovely with a great view to the sea. Absolutely recommend this place to everyone.

United KingdomNothing 💕
The hostess is fabulous, a lovely lady, efficient and kind. I know there are a few negative comments on here about the road, but I just wanted to say it’s ok. There is a very small section with no pavement, but I was confident with my 12 year old daughter. I would just say be aware of traffic and have a torch at night to show your presence on the road. So please don’t let negative reviews put you off this lovely place. The views are second to none. Lya is amazing. One of the loveliest things we did was walking right to the village, buying a pizza takeaway and eating it on the beach in the evening. What could beat that! Be aware the bus to Isola Bella is only once a day and is sometimes 30 mins late. There is a very helpful lady who sells tickets by the roadside. We’ve moved on to Syracuse now but I wish we were back there. The apartment is gorgeous, btw 💕
