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.).

CanadaNothing. Everything was phenomenal
Riccardo was an incredible host. Not only did he assisted us in finding everything we needed in the area (best gas station, most affordable grocery shop, directions to Mount Etna, best pizza place and restaurants) but he went above and beyond with every detail in the apartment. Everything that was not provided in our previous accomodations (in other places in Italy) was indeed provided in our stay. We had wine vinegar, olive oil, detergent for the washing machine and dishwasher, beach towels, coffee, netflix, and even a wine bottle! The view was also amazing. Grazie mile Riccardo for making our stay the best one yet in our 2 week trip in Italy.

United KingdomIt wasn't a problem for us, but there is no lift and the apartment is on the top floor. I wouldn't recommend it for those with physical disabilities.
The apartment is in a great location with wonderful seaviews from the terraces. It is a bright, clean apartment. The help received from the staff - Ricardo and Sandy - was very much appreciated. I would definitely come again and recommend it to others.

RomaniaThe view of the apartments is amazing and the proximity to Isolla Bella and Taormina is good. It is very very well equipped, you could spend there easily a long time. The best part is though the friendship of Riccardo and the way he was willing to help us always and checking up on us. He always provided instructions and advices. We gained a friend :)

The apartment was lovely, we had two huge balconies. One to the front of the property and one at the rear with gorgeous sea views! The bed was really comfortable and the all of the staff were so friendly and welcoming. When we checked in we were greeted by Sandy who showed us around, she was lovely, really helpful and even helped us up the stairs with our cases. Riccardo was also so helpful sending us thorough access details before we arrived, local travel info, parking and also restaurant recommendations which we tried a couple of and had amazing food. He also messaged a few days in asking if everything was ok and if we needed anything, we requested some fresh towels which were delivered the next morning. Everything was great at the apartment, a short walk to local restaurants and shops and a bus ride or the cable car ride to Taormina centre.

United KingdomIt was great so there's nothing to dislike
The apartment is great, well equipped, comfortable and very clean. Home away from home. Close to the funicular up to the main square and sites of Taormina with regular buses to and fro to the city and the train station if you want to get to other locations like Siracuse and Catonia. The train station is beautiful and well worth a visit as is Taormina which is packed with culture and history, stunning views of Mt Etna and delicious food. Riccardo is an excellent host, communication is easy and always on hand to help in anyway possible. The flat is easy to access, though you'll have to climb a few stairs, is close to the beach and restaurants. What's not to like? Would highly recommend.

United StatesThe apartment was spacious and in an excellent location-within walking distance of a wonderful restaurant, a small market for basic supplies and local attractions. We enjoyed spectacular views in every direction from the balcony. Taormina’s historic sites and beautiful shops were a quick trip by cable car or bus. The well equipped kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine made our stay super easy. The owner and cleaning staff were very helpful and responsive.

United KingdomThe building is on the main road so there is traffic at all hours. Everything else about this apartment was great. Other few things I didn't like had to do with the town Mazzaro. This obviously isn't something that this apartment or host could address but I thought I'd mention it in case it helps inform other people. Mazzaro is some 500 stairs away from Taormina which is on a cliff above. The cable car costs 6 euros per person in each direction and taxi in one direction is 20 euros for the 10 minute ride. Bus is only 1.10 euros but it runs very infrequently - an hour or longer in-between. The beach in Mazzaro has large segments fenced off as private lidos so you can't easily take a stroll from one end to the other. The few sections that are public are tiny so get crowded quickly. Nearby town Giardini-Naxos has a more accessible beach.
Well-appointed, spacious and practical apartment. Friendly, welcoming and helpful host. We booked the parking with the host which was very convenient just across the street at Hotel Esperia. The service there was very friendly.

RomaniaGuests should be fit to climb some 62 steps on the stairway for the penthouse that we rented. It is worth it.
Fantastic location, in Mazzaro, with great views on the golf and on the mountain slopes. Two terraces totaling about 100 square meters, very nicely furnished and full comfort. Completely endowed, very well designed, with breathtaking panoramic views. Perfect instructions on check-in. Host dedicated to guests well-being, with daily checks if everything fine and suggestions on meals and places to visit. For breakfast and dinner we were recommended a nearby family hotel with a superb garden great views and delicious Sicilian cuisine.
