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.).

NorwayEverything was perfect, but I would have loved to have some fruits in the room or a little something sweet to have with the morning coffee while enjoying the little private terrace by the entrance.
We stayed in the top room which was beautiful. It has many windows and a balcony, which means lots of light and fresh air. It is perfectly located, just at the entrance of the old city, but without the crowds and the noise coming from the bars and restaurants. The parking facility offered by the host is VERY convenient (about 10 meters away) so say yes if you get it offered :-) . It was a plus that the guests staying in the room below us were as quiet as we were, so it felt very private and peaceful. Just down the street, you have the Medusa Bistrot, which has a beautiful garden terrace that is never crowded. Very nice to stop there for a drink just before heading back to the apartment.

United StatesWonderful apartment located close to the center of Taormina. Host was super nice. Private parking was available close to the apartment which worked out well. Beds were the most comfortable that we had slept in during our trip to Sicily. Ocean view from the balcony was spectacular. Although it was very centrally located there was minimal road noise, and almost nothing during the night.

I had been looking forward to our stay in Taormina and our stay at Le Moresche Taura & Mina was the icing on the cake. Met every expectation, beautiful apartment and Antonella was a wonderful Host. Nothing was a problem. Great location, just off the main street of Taormina, a short walk to the Supermarket and the countless numbers of Restaurants & Cafes. The views across Taormina down to the beaches from the balconies are beautiful, even more so at night.

GermanyIt would have been great to have had basics like olive oil and balsamic in the apartment, since it is a vacation rental, in case you ever want to cook. This was of course not a problem and we were mostly eating out anyway, but it would have been a bonus :)
The apartment is very stylish and beautifully furnished and you feel right at home. In addition, you have a terrace where you have a beautiful view (in the distance you can see the sea). The key transfer was smooth and we got many recommendations for Taormina. You can easily walk to the city centre, it's super close!

Antonella went above and beyond to make sure our time in Taormina was everything we wanted it to be. From meeting us late at night after we were delayed, to booking restaurants for us, we couldn't have asked for a better host. The apartment was beautifully designed, incredibly central and perfect for a couple.

Antonella is a fantastic host. Our flight was delayed which meant we would arrive to Catania quite late 8:30pm and there were no trains. Whilst at the airport I let her know and she helped us arrange a private transfer to her apartment, so very much appreciated especially at such late notice. She not only gave us fantastic recommendations for food and activities, but also dropped off beach towels for us! The actual apartment is absolutely lovely and is just off the heart of the Main Street so it’s quiet at night but less than a 5 minute walk away. Thank you Antonella!

CanadaThe parking was unfortunate. We had requested a spot from the hosts as it says you can do in the listing, which they confirmed. We were then told their parking was full and we had to park in a public parking structure. It was close by but very expensive. It was also full when we arrived and we had to wait outside the gates for a spot to to open up. We paid 50 euros for less than 2 full days.
What an amazing spot! The location was incredible and so easily walkable to the main strip in Taormina. Very easy to get around from this spot. There is a lovely patio with a great view that we enjoyed sitting on. The neighbourhood is quiet but so close to all the action. The hosts were warm and welcoming, easy to communicate with, and gave us excellent recommendations. We would absolutely stay again and recommend this spot.

Antonella was fantastic to deal with - she was very responsive and gave great recommendations for restaurants and helped us book them as well. I would 100% recommend staying here and would definitely return.

CanadaThe apartment location was amazing, just a few steps from the main area in Taormina. Even with it being so close, the place was still very private and quiet. The terrace was beautiful and spacious to relax on with an amazing view. The inside of the apartment was modern, clean, beautiful, and had everything we needed and more. The bed was also incredibly comfortable! This was well worth the price and we were extremely happy. The host is very responsive and very kind! We will definitely be staying here again when we are back in Taormina. 12/10 rating!

AustraliaVery minor but the lighting on the side of the bed in the lower apartment was a bit precarious and almost got bumped off multiple times as the clearance on the other side of the bed was small.
We were a group of 5ppl so booked both the upstairs apartment and downstairs apartment. The furnishings were modern and the apartments well appointed with fridge, dishwasher, small stove, coffee machine (though we ate out most meals). It was very well located just up the hill from the main restaurant/shopping streets. There was also views of the ocean. Antonella was easy to communicate with and she assisted with directing the taxi from the train station to the accommodation, she also kindly assisted with pre-booking a taxi for our journey on.

United KingdomThis is one of the best apartments we've ever stayed in. It's beautifully and stylishly designed, with a massive bathroom and very comfy bed. We loved sitting out on the little terrace in the evening looking over the sea with a glass of wine. Taormina centre is literally about three minutes walk but the apartment feels set back and really quiet, which is perfect. Above all else, our host Antonella and her husband Giuseppe were so helpful, from recommending restaurants to helping organise our onward travel. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
