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 StatesThe location was not the most pedestrian friendly. While it is a short distance from the train station, there is not a separate sidewalk for pedestrians along the busy road. There is a bus station a short distance away but it does not come that frequently and if the bus is full, it will not let you get on.
The host was very nice and accommodating and the room was comfortable for a short stay.

NetherlandsI had the room with the single bed, it is 190 by 80 cm, so beware if you are a tall man. It was fine for me.
The host Daniella is amazing! Helpful, kind, speaks good English. She helped me find the swimming pool in the city and helps to understand the way of things. It was my first time in Italy. Lovely terras, good room and spacious bath room. Close to the trainstation and beach.

AustraliaI actually liked staying down from the town along the first beach sweeping south from incredible Taormina. Buses run on time and are 1.90 euro each way. There are cute coffee shops, breakfasts etc very near. The property itself is extremely pretty and well laid out. My room was spacious and spotlessly clean. DANIELA my host was wonderful ; she sorted my one day tour of Mt Etna and it surprisingly included, care of her, a gorgeous Italian breakfast at a nearby Cafe looking out on the ocean while I enjoyed the sun. All great !!

Decoration is great even though the place is a little old. The owner is so warm. She give me the guide to visit Taormina. The location is OK. It is convenience to take a bus to go to Taormina in a few walk. It is great value for your money.

DenmarkI was there for 3 nights because I liked to area. But the madras was a little hard, there was very little toilet paper and soap. The window was out to the entrance so it is not a room with a lot of natural light.
The room was big, but there was also a double bed and a bunk bed. Very friendly hosts.

New ZealandCould be a bit more attention to cleaning - the sides of the bedside table need a good clean - and bit of road noise if you are in a front room.
Lovely outdoor areas. Spacious room. Just one street back from the lovely waterfront and walking distance from the train station.

United StatesNo communal washing machine - but there is an offer for laundry for €5 for 5kg, if needed.
So much more affordable and relaxed to stay in Giardini, with a €1.50 bus up to Taormina to explore - highly recommended doing this. Daniella was SO helpful and kind, even saving us an unnecessary bust trip to Taormina for a tour - she called the company and arranged for us to be picked up in walking distance! Loved this stay.

United StatesThe B&B isn't staffed, so check-in took a little while and though signs offered to book tours for you or rent beach towels, no one was there to do it (though they responded via WhatsApp). There was not a mini market as stated in the description, but there are many cafes and shops nearby. Though called a B&B, there was no breakfast (as stated).
The room was simple, but clean and met my needs. I liked staying on the (rocky) beach but getting to Taormina--or where you wanted to go in Taormina--wasn't simple. It was great as a base for day trips as the different tour companies will pick up nearby if you ask, and the train station is a short walk away.

Czech RepublicWe got room facing the street which was full of traffic even during night. Our room was next to the main door to the building so you could hear everyone going home anytime. But we made it through the night with earplugs.
Super friendly staff who gave us all the necessary information. The room was spacious and clean. We even could use the common kitchen and terrace. Very good and reasonable price for the location and this type o room.
