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 KingdomThe apartment is very well equipped and is perfectly located for the attractions, shops and restaurants of Taormina, with fabulous views of Mount Etna (clouds permitting!) and Giardini Naxos bay from the terrace. Paola was the perfect host, very welcoming and helpful and had thought of everything.

United StatesBeds very firm, but that's a personal preference! The shower stall was small and dark and hard to keep water inside with the way the curtain is situated.
Paola was an incredibly nice and helpful host. Excellent location, walkable to everything Taormina has to offer. Very well equipped apartment, stocked with everything and anything you may need. Requested and was provided with a baby crib. Great to have a tub in one bathroom to bathe the baby. The terrace was excellent with amazing views of Etna and the water. Felt very quiet, clean, safe and secure.

United KingdomNothing, it was all more than we expected.
Everything about Paula's flat is all you could want. The location is close to all the attractions. The generous patio gets the sun for most of the day, with a stunning view of Mt Etna. Paula herself provides all the information you could need and after three days on trains, the provisions were so welcome.

TurkeyThe location was amazing, Paola helped and assisted us on every step of the visit, she was extremely friendly and helpful. The view is like an art piece, one side is Mount Etna, one side is the sea view and an amazing combination of surroundings. The property also has bidet that was a very important thing for us.

The location exceeded our expectations. The uninterrupted view of the bay and Mt Etna were spectacular. The apartment was close to the main street Via Umberto, where you will find many boutiques, pasticcerie and restaurants. Paola our host was just lovely and very helpful and the apartment provided us with more than enough towels for our family of 5, more than the basics for washing clothes and cooking and excellent hot water and 2 bathrooms which were a plus. Our host Paola was great and organised our van transfer for the next part of our trip at late notice which was greatly appreciated. Thank you for everything!

Paula was the very best hostess one could hope for - friendly, informative (verbally and with written materials), gave great recommendations. It was a bonus to learn about the multi-generational history of her lovely, renovated home and the area. She also provided us food and drink well beyond the basics to keep us going until we could get out to shop for ourselves. She was exceptional!

Paola was an exceptional host.From communication to arrival to parking, Paola was by my side helping all the way. I cannot stress the perfect location of the property. Almost next door to the Four Seasons, for 10% of the price. The aircon was cool, the kitchen well equipped with food and utensils. Eating breakfast on the deck overlooking Taormina and Naxos was such a treat. Paola deserves an award and a 10/10 everytime. Such a brilliant host of an equally wonderful property,

AustraliaWe loved everything about this beautifully located property - but the major bonus was the gorgeous terrace which provided front row seats for when Mt Etna sparked up. The rest of the time, we were able to sit back and take in the stunning view out to sea with a glass of wine. It was so gorgeous we even cooked - as our wonderful host had provided some delicious basics to get us started - very thoughtful.

The home is perfect for a family traveling together. It is clean and well equipped. The terrace has a beautiful view. Paola is also a very attentive host, ensuring all guests have what they need to be comfortable. Ages in our family ranged from 11 to 80 and it was great for all!

United KingdomIncredible property, right next to San Domenico luxury hotel featured in White Lotus but a fraction of the price. truly a home away from home, so well appointed with everything you would need if not eating out. Million dollar views across to Etna from the terrace and out to sea. Tranquil spot in Taormina but within easy walking access to great restaurants, parking, sight seeing spots, and cable car to Isola Bella. Our host was just charming- gave us so many tips on arrival and accessible throughout our stay. Already planning on coming back!

Beautiful private terrace overlooking the sea and wonderful view of Mount Etna. Just a minute walk to the Domo and the main street in Taoramina. The kitchen was fully equipped and our hostess, Paola,provided enough for breakfast for our stay plus wine and a few dinner items as well.

United StatesJust needed a full-length mirror!
Location was perfect -- just a couple of blocks from the heart of everything, but very quiet. We had a lovely terrace with a view of the sea and Mount Etna. The apartment is in a free-standing building that belongs to the owner's family. There was a locked gate to the building, so it felt safe and private. Had everything we needed for a totally relaxing and enjoyable week. Able to cook meals when we wanted, even do our own laundry (which helped us travel with only carry-on bags). The host was delightful and helpful. She showed us how everything worked, then was available by text if we needed her.

United KingdomPaola was super friendly and so knowledgeable, giving us a low down on what was nearby etc. She had also left some goodies in the fridge for us which was really appreciated! The property and building itself is just absolutely stunning - we didn't want to leave! The view from our room/massive bed, of the sea was beautiful - could have stared at it all day! We had some really enjoyable evenings relaxing on the terrace with a glass of Etna vino looking out at the fantastic setting. And the location was top notch - seriously this Casa has it all and total value for money as well. Without a doubt would definitely recommend to stay here and we will hopefully be back again to stay. If i won the lotto, I would try and buy it haha!!!
