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 only reason I don't give it a perfect score for location is that the roadway is very congested all day and noisy from early morning. That said, it's a small quibble compared to the all round excellence of this property.
Spacious apartment. Two bathrooms. All furnishings and fittings are top standard. It has a sea view and access to the beach just across the road. There are small grocery shops nearby and a little souvenir and drinks shop directly underneath. It is also a short distance to the funicular which carries you from the cost up to the amazing town of Taormina.

United StatesMany steps to the property. It would have been a problem for other family members had they been with us. I don’t recall this fact being disclosed in property description. It would have been nice to have beach towels and a lounge chair on the porch. Some information about public transportation would have been nice also
Space, porch, view was excellent, bonus was the music from the resort below, Washington machine

Bespoke and comfortable property with excellent location below Taormina but very close to the cable car. Located right on the coast road .... but relatively quiet. No parking on site but easy parking nearby adjacent to the cable car. Ask the host for details. Visit Isobella Island !

United KingdomTo access the flat you need to climb lots of stairs then go down few more stairs. It’s okay if you travel light, but we had big suitcases. Shower is not very watertight, water leaks and creates a puddle, which is not the best.
The view is spectacular from the balcony. The flat is big for 4 people. Bedrooms and bedding were comfortable and air conditioning worked perfectly.

NorwayNot a problem for us, but just be aware that there are many steps, some narrow.
A spacious and comfortable apartment with a great view. Stayed in the Ramona suite, and the 4 of us had a lot of room. Aircondition and washing machine made our stay very convenient and pleasant. Yes there are steps up to the rooms, but all of Taormina is steep, so this is expected. An elevator is being added, so scaffolding was up but no noice from workers during the stay. The host was very friendly and helpul with tips about what to do and where to go, and stored our luggage after check-out. Close to gondola and beaches, minimarkeds and restaurants.

AustraliaThe steps! 100 steps to get to our room! That’s not the fault of this property though as it’s a function of the geography! You need to get a chairlift to the Main Street, Corso Urberto.

United KingdomTaormina and the surrounding villages are built on a hillside. It makes for beautiful and spectacular views. For those seeking exercise it is brilliant, for those less athletic steps and slopes can be a challenge.
The view from the apartments is superb, you can hear the sea from the bedrooms. You share the view with Villa Sant'Andrea hotel, once frequented by Winston Churchill, Richard Burton and Liz Taylor. We could just sit and look at the view at all times of the day. Only 100 meters from the cable car that takes you into the center of Taormina in five minutes. The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The proprietor, Giuseppe was a gem. Nothing was too much trouble. He met us on arrival, waved us off on departure. He arranged our pick up and dropping off at the airport.

GeorgiaWhat I didn't like is that we had to climb very big stairs every day to get to the apartment. Since the main entrance had an elevator, it was a nightmare to walk along the stairs. We could not carry our luggage and the owner helped us. On the day of departure, we hired someone to bring our luggage.
The apartment was clean, comfortable and we had an attentive owner. The view was the best from the apartment.
