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.).

GermanyUnfortunately the bed is not very comfortable, feels like an older mattress. The breakfast was very good and plentiful, but be aware that it is italian breakfast, so it´s all sweet, no salty options. Our bathroom was smelling a bit.
We loved, of course, the view and the private balcony. Simple, but cozy room. Its not directly in the center, but with a short walk you are there very quickly. Parkinghouse was very near. Make sure to check your phone once you arrive. The owner sent all the information, where to find keys etc, through whatsapp beforehand. You pay the city tax with cash before leaving.

RomaniaThe room was perfect for us. location is quite good, breakfast included, enough stuff to eat (even too much for us) but we enjoyed on our balcony with an amazing view, even if you only take this into consideration is worth staying here. So I can recommend it. Also the staff was really nice. Grazie mille!

LebanonThe highlight of this room is the view. We could see part of Taormina, the hills to the left, and a panoramic view of the sea. The location is a 5 min walk to the bus station, the car parking, and the vibrant city street where most of the shops, restaurants, nightlife, religious and historic buildings, as well as the place where one can enjoy a panoramic view of the sea. Since Taormina is situated on a hill, the cable car that transfers down to the seaside street and beaches is just nearby Breakfast is consistent and served in the room where we enjoyed it on the balcony with the view. The room was cozy, and I would rate it 3 stars, however, it's clean and comfortable and the staff was helpful. Note that we were charged 4 Euros as city tax at the end of our stay.

United KingdomThe initial welcome to the property was a bit strange. No one was there when we arrived. A lady from another property saw us and phoned the host and then she gave us a key and pointed out our room. Host appeared the next day, later than promised with some breakfast. It was never really clear if we could use the kitchen at the property, sometimes it was locked, other times not. We missed breakfast on two days because our trips started before he arrived.
Beautiful room, convenient location, superb view and a good sized comfortable room , tastefully decorated. Near the bus station and the main entrance to the old town. Breakfast served in the room was very good as and when our host arrived. Property was very clean. Overall a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. B

CanadaMust run the hot water in the sink for 15 min before hot water was available (a waste of water resources). Ditto for the shower. There is 1 flight of stairs in the building and to get to the building must walk down some stairs. For people who don't want to carry their luggage...take note. You have to call Guiseppe to open up. I had a sim card from Italy and could call but what if people don't have a cell plan...
Guiseppe was a very good host and provided a customized breakfast when he noticed I wasn't eating many of the offerings. Loved the little kitchenette to make a cup of tea/coffee. There are a total of 3 rooms on my floor. My room had a bar fridge which was handy. View of the sea and a nice balcony which is why I chose this place. Good signage indicating where to walk down the stairs from the street and where to turn to the apartment building. Busy street but very quiet in the room.

United StatesEverything was wonderful, no complaints.
What a view!!!! This room has one of the best views in Taormina without paying an obscene amount for the stay. The room was just right for two guests. The host was very accommodating and gave us some great restaurant recommendations. There are 2 flights of stairs to get through which I didn't realize when I booked which was fine for me but not so much for mom so just a little side note. The breakfast the host served was delicious, a little bit of everything which we enjoyed on the beautiful balcony overlooking the town and the sea. We also had the chance to see the cable cars operating and the station is around the corner which is very convenient. The city center of Taormina is a 5 min walk from the room. All in all a great stay in such a beautiful place.

NetherlandsWalk from the property to the center is not for disable people or families with small children. There no pavement to walk, you just has to reach the stairs to the center by walking on the road. Not very long, but very unsafe with small children.
the owner was very friendly, but to communicate in English is a challenge. Covered parking place is very close. Close to the center. On the way to the main street you can find not overprized cafes and restaurants. Funicular is close by. Great breakfast.
