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.).

Wonderful location on a quieter street with a lovely small terrace. Apartment is a nice size, very clean and bed is comfortable. Keys are available through a lockbox which is perfect to allow flexibility on arrival. Host was available for anything you needed and provided some excellent restaurant recommendations. Parking is easier than expected. You park at a lot off the highway and take a shuttle into the town followed by a short walk to the apartment. Would highly recommend this apartment for a wonderful stay.

The location, literally spotless clean! Everything looked brand new! The host was easy to reach when needed. It was in a silent neighbourhood. I loved the design of the apartment. The parking place (which is actually a rent-a-car place) was very closeby (20 euros per night)

United KingdomWe absolutely loved our stay in Taormina. Fabulous location, away from the main area and tucked away, but only minutes away from the centre. Very quiet street. We were met by Lorenzo on our arrival and he was very kind to help us with our luggage and offered some recommendations and advice about things to do / places to eat. We would definitely recommend the walk to Castelmola! Things that are really important to us: the apartment was clean, good shower pressure, and mattress more on the firm side which we loved. Heating was good for winter time. Note, there is a flight of stairs going into the flat with no lift. Would definitely recommend.

SwitzerlandNo complaints. Only thing to mention is that there is no parking near apartment. We left our car in the parking garage near the entrance to the town and took the shuttle bus to the centre. Considering how narrow are the streets, that was a good decision.
We loved the apartment. Spacious and clean, with all amenities needed. Location is central, but quiet and peaceful. Hosts were lovely, they met us at the bus station and accompanied us to the apartment. They gave us excellent recommendations about activities and places to eat. They even provided us some beach towels on our request. All in all, everything was great!

The room is decorated stylish and classy. Well equipped with wash machine, fridge and cooking. Good location. We took a bus to the terminal and it's within walking distance(8mins). Hosts were ready with the recommendations and were always reachable. I loved the balcony, it's right size for two, very Mediterranean, an early coffee or a late wine was perfect.

United KingdomI did feel a bit exposed in the front room, and would have liked a blind. But overall that was just me and I'd love to stay there again if I find myself in Taormina once more. You could hear music from a hotel I think, but I slept through most of it.I suspect that was a universal thing if you were anywhere central. Again, this would be my first choice of accommodation. It was a lucky find.
Lovely old building but beautifully decorated with all amenities. Plenty of space. Lorenzo, the host, was informative and charming. I loved my stay and felt happy all through it. Incredibly central but in a tranquil street.
