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 StatesThe only downfall from our stay was not having breakfast - we had it offered at every other hotel in Italy. But we were able to find a coffee shop with pastries near the location!
Our place was beautiful! The driver organized pick up and drop off from the airport, and met us to check us in when we arrived. The view was outstanding, definitely wake up at sunrise to get an amazing photo! My husband and I were traveling here for our honeymoon, and were looking for a more private, secluded stay. Because the location was high up in the hills, it was a steep walk down stairs to the town and a cab ride back up. But we had a very easy time getting around.

United KingdomBe aware that there are a lot of steps from the street to the apartment that need care. Taormina town is accessible on foot but the path is about 8 to 10 minutes of steps and you need to be fit to get back. Taxi services are readily available but could prove costly if used frequently to get about. To get to the beach, the walk is very long to the top of the cable car and walking back is a challenge. Parking in the town is very limited and the very long one-way systems make using a car to get around not easy.
The apartment was excellent. The hot tub was great as the weather was a little cool for Sicily in May. The view was lovely, both from the balcony and the hot tub. The swimming pool was well-appointed with loungers and parasols. The apartment is peaceful, high up with a great view, and away from the bustle of the town. Taormina is very attractive with plenty of historical sights, restaurants, bars and shops. Its setting on steep slopes makes it quite spectacular in places. but getting around is therefore not easy.

The property was a modern building, decoration was elegant modern, practical and nice. The balcony was the big plus!!. It has two beach chairs a table and two chairs. We enjoyed our breakfasts staring at the breathtaking view we'd ever enjoyed in our life. You don't have to come up from the comfortable king bed and the most smooth sheets to enjoy the amazing view. Everything is in front of you. It is equipped with everything you'll need even to cook breakfast , dinner or lunch. The infinity heated pool allows you to continue being amused by the view and rest in beach chair. There is a lot of walking and climbing in the surroundings and if you dare you can climb to Castelmola too. Roberto, the owner was very kind, nice and he answered our questions inmediately, he made us feeling at home. Thank you, Roberto! You are the best!. The Views has everything you ever dream to have the best enjoyable and comfortable vacacions in Taormina, Sicily. We'll see you soon.

United KingdomRoom next door was a bit noisy because there is a door which links the 2 apartments. There was no cover for the quilt The shower ran hot and cold. All of the above would’t usually be an issue for us but for the price of the apartment you expect everything to be perfect
The view was out of this world. We set our alarm and watched the sunrise from the bed - would highly recommend this!

South KoreaIt was kind of noisy when we closed the shower door. But not a big problem. Hoped the pool was heated a little bit more (quite cold if the sun is not strong enough)
I stayed here for our honeymonn, and we loved everything about this apartment. The view is absolutely beautiful. I loved the view of both infinity pool and room’s ocean view. Location is great since the bus stop is very near from the apartment. (You can also ise the shortcut by stairs to the city center) it may be a little uncomfortable to go back to the apartment during the day, but it’s totally worth it. Even just staying at the apartment for whole day would be great. (Terrace is really nice too) Everything about the apartment is very new, and cleaned well. I even liked the amenities too. (Smelled great) Towels were provided enough (was provided more once I asked for. Thanks!) And, most importantly , the host is nice and kind😊 If I come back to Taormina, I would definitely come back to this place.

It's all about the personal touch. Roberto is exceptional, he arranges everything you need during your vacation, he and his wife have even prepared a guide with restaurants and surrounding attractions - ideas that are useful for anyone who didn't have time to prepare for the trip and for those who want an authentic recommendation from a local. When we arrived, he pleasantly surprised us… I had booked a room with a jacuzzi and at the same time asked to be accommodated in a suite on a higher floor - and since he had the option, he offered us two rooms, a suite with the most beautiful view of Etna and a room with a jacuzzi. Never before have we been upgraded elsewhere - awesome feeling indeed. The jacuzzi was heated and ready to use on arrival and when we returned from a long cycling tour one day he was waiting for us with a cold beer from the indigenous brewery in Taormina. The accommodation has everything you need: good wifi, coffee machine, parking space, spacious rooms and least but not last - the view! Roberto - once again thank you ✌️

We loved The View :) and I mean not only what I could see, but the whole place and experience. The owner is super attentive, very helpful and welcoming. The place itself is extremely clean, modern, luxurious and comfortable. We had excellent sleep and had captured the first morning light from our apartment. The pool is the right size, warm and nice. We highly recommend also visiting Castelmola in the evening- village is magical.

AustraliaNothing really…There was no servicing daily which was fine as we were only there for 3 nights. There is no mirror outside the bathroom which can be handy. There was a coffee machine but no discernible breakfast really which we had been used to in previous places in Italy. The walk down to the town is fine and the taxi back up is 15 euros.
The view was amazing, the pool was lovely. We were greeted on arrival but there is no reception but you can message and it is responded to promptly.
