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.).

MoldovaEverything was more than perfect
It was the most amazing holiday we’ve ever had. The location cant be better, the hosts cant be better, and the rooms are loveeeely. The private balcony, which was a proper private rooftop patio was amazing with an amazing view The breakfast was really nice and the coffee was amazing. The rain did not even started and we already had am umbrella on our door handle. We celebrated my birthday there and the hosts threw me a huge surprise. We had new towels everyday for our room and for the beach. We could not wish for more and we cant wait to be back!

CanadaIt’s hard to say anything we didn’t like about villa arianna. Such a beautiful place with beautiful hosts. Maybe slightly better pillows and mattress.
Salvo and Maria were the most attentive hosts!! The location also had a gorgeous view of the bay and we had breakfast every morning on our veranda. Just lovely!

United StatesIt was a bit difficult to find, partly because the GPS made us drive all the way up to the top of the mountain when this lodging was right near the marina on a street in town. Parking was also a bit of a challenge though doable. It was a Pine unpaved road pretty close to the B &B though.
Breakfast served on our beautiful balcony with a view of the sea. The bed was one of the most comfortable that I have ever slept in away from home. Our wonderful hosts were beyond gracious. They helped us find different places we wanted to visit and had suggestions of places to go. They even made dinner reservations for us and were very pleasant at all times.

United KingdomThere's a train track across the road from the property and trains start running quite early.
They were very helpful with car parking & information about sites to visit & also recommended good restaurants. Also breakfast was plentiful there's a small lift to go up to the property on from the lower road but if you have bags take them up by car.

United StatesRooms a bit pricey but worth the splurge. Towels a bit rough could be softer.
Everything about this abundantly decorated villa is amazing. Host is so efficient and informative he basically got us well oriented to the area within the first 15 minutes after our arrival. Location is convenient - short walk to the beach, cable car to the own center above right next door. Getting in and out of the small building is easy via a tiny elevator that fits two (there is still a short staircase to street level). Definitely book the sea view rooms with private attached terrace. Breakfast served on your own terrace each morning is one of the highlights of our stay. There is one room without sea view but it comes with an exclusive rooftop terrace which does. This is a place I'd absolutely return to for future visits.

United KingdomNothing - all was great
We had a wonderful week at Villa Arianna. The location was perfect - close to the beach and close to the cable car so we could easily visit the old town. We had a room with no sea view and the owners contacted us as soon as we had booked to let us know this and also to say that we would have our own private roof terrace. This turned out perfectly. The property is set above the beach area so the roof terrace has great views. Every morning we went up there for 9am and Salvo and Maria Pia brought our continental breakfast up to us. We sat at the table but there were also 2 sun beds and 2 reclining chairs so it was a great spot. The room was well furnished with a comfortable bed and quite lavish decor which made a nice change from the often bland hotel bedrooms you see. The shower was powerful and there was a bidet. The room was cleaned every day whilst we ate breakfast and we always returned to find a drink and snack awaiting us which was thoughtful. Salvo and Maria Pia were fantastic hosts, so kind and hospitable. They went out of their way to give us a perfect week. We checked out the prices of the nearby smart hotels offering bed and breakfast for the same week and the Villa Arianna was much better value in our view - all that was missing was a pool but we prefer the sea anyway. Highly recommended 😊

Great place with a beautiful view to the sea and well located, I went there as a honeymoon with my husband and we had the best moment there. Rooms were clean and very nice, bathroom as well. The hosts were very kind and always worry about our stay and service. Best hotel service I have ever had so far, very personalized and comfortable, totally would go back. We didn’t go by car and to be honest we didn’t even need it, you are faster getting places without a car there if you are only planning to stay in Taormina

AustraliaThis accommodation absolutely exceeded our expectations! We have stayed in so many wonderful properties however the warm hospitality from Salvo really set this stay apart. The villa itself was wonderful and the view from the balcony was stunning. We had all the amenities we could need and Salvo made sure to provide great tips along with links to assist us during our time in Taormina. The breakfasts were a highlight - so many different options and they also catered so well for my gluten free diet. The location was perfect, across the road from a great beach and right next to the cable cars. Highly recommend and we would certainly love to return!

Where to start? Salvo and Maria were the friendliest and most helpful hosts ever! We arrived in Taormina without a car, and just to beggin with, Salvo fetched us and brought us back to the train station just to help us! We got a room with a balcony view, and it's hard to get any better than that. The view is simply stunning! Our room had a very comfortable bed, a big bathroom, and an AC, which is a must during the summer season (over 39°C). We opted for the breakfast, which was 10/10. Fresh orange juice, fresh fruits, coffee, I mean, it was a fantastic breakfast and they even allowed us to ask for special things, in case we wanted to. As a plus, they brought the breakfast to our room's balcony everyday (see pic enclosed).Salvo was also very helpful in showing us the options of what to do in Taormina and our flat was 2 minutes walking from the cable car. In general, I can fully recommend the stay villa arianna, you will have an amazing view of mezzaro, super friendly and helpful hosts and an amazing breakfast! If there's something that could be improved, I'd say that the internet signal was sometimes weak in the room, but this is a very minor complaint.
