Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PolandOur stay at this apartment was nothing short of exceptional. The space itself is a true standout, offering ample room, pristine cleanliness, and a well-equipped environment that catered to all our needs. From the moment we booked, the communication with our hosts, Patrix and Cetty, was seamless. Cetty, who handled our check-in and check-out, was remarkably welcoming and efficient, making us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the apartment's stunning view. It provided a beautiful backdrop to our mornings and evenings, adding a special touch to our experience. Despite its peaceful location, the apartment is conveniently situated just a 10-15 minute walk from the city center and shops. Even with a 3-year-old in tow, we found the walk manageable and enjoyable. Although we visited at the turn of February and March when it was a bit cold inside, the apartment was equipped with plenty of heaters and air conditioners to keep us warm. It's worth noting that the property is best accessed by car, and investing in the parking for 20 euros a day is advisable for optimal convenience because you can't park in the street. Additionally, be aware that check-ins after 8 PM come with an extra fee of 20 euros. Additionally, for those looking to explore the local beaches, reaching them by car or via the nearby funicular (whose upper station is within walking distance from the apartment) is the best option. However, it's worth noting that during our off-season visit, the funicular was not operational due to maintenance work. Overall, our time here was a delightful experience. The combination of the apartment's features, the exceptional views, and the outstanding hospitality from Patrix and Cetty made our visit truly memorable. We highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a special getaway, and we eagerly anticipate our return.

PolandWe liked everything.
A great place to relax with a wonderful view of Taormina and the sea. It lies about 15 minutes walk from the centre. The apartment is well equipped with all the necessary things and even more. Patrix and Cetty are very communicative, kind and eager to help. We were greeted with wine and a delicious cake and at the check-out I received a small thing as a souvenir - it was very nice. The stay with them was special, we enjoyed it very much and it was a pity to leave. It is worth mentioning that in the same apartment there is an additional separate room with a double bed, mini bar, bathroom and balcony available for rent.

AustraliaThe views from all three balconies are incredible, the whole apartment is spacious, beautifully decorated and so comfortable. The beds are comfortable, bathroom is modern and air-conditioning works well. The kitchen has everything you need including a washing machine that works perfectly. We were greeted with coffee/tea and cake and bubbles! It is a nice walk into town, there are grocery shops nearby, and it was the perfect place to spend a week in Taormina. The staff, Patrix and Cetty were amazing, so helpful, thoughtful and kind. Maison belle Vue is our very favourite holiday home to stay in, anywhere in the world, 😁 🌍 we will return soon ❤️

We felt very welcome by the owner, Patrix, and Cetty, the manager. The accommodations had cake and welcome champagne. The apartment was well equipped with a washing machine. Very spacious with a living room, dining room, 2 bedrooms and kitchen. The balconies were beautiful!!!! At first, we were concerned we were too far from the center of town. After walking a couple times, we appreciated the exercise and ate without guilt. Loved the walk. Felt like we were part of the neighborhood. Definitely hope we can return to this property! Miss being there. Should have stayed longer!

Israel3rd floor without elevator and very steep climb on the way to the center. Was a bit challenging for a couple with a baby but it was worth it.
Everything, from the moment we arrived Patrix and Gaetano were accommodating, Taking care of everything we needed and even more. The view is just amazing and you can sit hours on the balcony just soaking in the atmosphere. Check in was great, handled flawlessly and exactly on time. Apartment is just like a home, filled with everything you need just like home.

United KingdomNothing. Perfetto. Well maybe a lounger or two on balcony would be good.
What a fantastic apartment. Very comfortable, well fitted with all you would need. We'll if you love the sun or shelter from the sun, win, win. Three balconies to either chase the sun or avoid the sun. The main balcony looks out across The Ionian Sea and you can see Calabria. Large balcony with table and four chairs, two seat garden sofa and four other chairs. Balcony of dining area at side also has table and chairs and soft chairs too. Third balcony off bedroom 2, smaller but still has table and chairs. All furnishings very comfortable, we slept very well. But the view from the kitchen, lounge and main balcony awesome. I got up each morning to watch the sunrise over the sea. Bella, Bella. Cetty, who met us and gave us the keys lovely. I text her a few times whilst there, tourist questions like, where do I buy coffee pods for the machine. She was always helpful, not only giving details but pindropping on maps. A passionate friendly woman who clearly loves her town. Taormina perched on the side of a cliff is beautiful, the Greco Theatre with Etna in background wow!

United KingdomI highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Taormina. The place and location was more than we could've ever imagined. The art deco design, beautiful high ceilings, spacious apartment really made us feel spoilt. Not to mention 3 balcony's with the most incredible views, which we won't ever forget. The views and morning espressos made us want to wake up each day to watch the sunrise. The host was kind enough to leave us plenty of coffee, tea, traditional red oranges to try along with aperol and prosecco which we had on the balcony to celebrate our stay. The flat is positioned 10minutes walk from the town centre of Taormina and a short bus ride to Isola Bella (beach) for only €1.10 from the town centre. We ended up walking to Isola Bella as it's down the hill and it took us 25min with priceless views. I would definitely recommend walking there and getting the bus back which is positioned by a bus stop bar in the middle of the car park, very quirky and fun! Food wise you got to try Granita! Bam bar is where it's at! Great location, prices and flavour so much flavour! You can also get wine there for a very reasonable price which we highly recommend. In the evening there's no place like La Grotta Di Ulisse, charming pizza and pasta restaurant on a side street. We couldn't recommend it enough absolutely delicious pizza's and lobster pasta! Great staff, music and atmosphere, we liked it so much we had to go back! The best till last, Pistachio pistacho and more Pistachios ! Nova is a pistachio heaven; pistachio ice-cream, pistachio granita, pistachio coffee, pistachio cream, pistachio alcohol whatever you desire. We absolutely fell in love with Nova, we were worried about our suitcase allowance after we've visited. Thank you Patrix for letting me and my two daughters stay at your beautiful apartment and thank you Cetty for making us feel so welcome, you are an absolute gem. We can't wait to stay in your apartment again!

AustraliaSpacious apartment with sweeping views!!! Patrix was a gracious host. As soon as I made the booking, he contacted me, which made it feel personalised. Cetty assisted with our arrival / departure and was our point-of-contact in Taormina during our stay. She also helped organise secure parking for our large car. We were also welcomed with treats and there were a few others during the stay. Masion belle Vue was very large, clean, and well equipped and provisioned (both toiletries and kitchen supplies). The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was modern. The dining and lounge rooms were substantial, with generous seating areas. The 3 balconies took in the sweeping coastal and town views. There were a range of areas on these balconies to sit and relax any time of day or night. Masion belle Vue was far enough from the crowds of tourists to enjoy the peacefulness of the area; however, we enjoyed the short walk to the town's central attractions, shops and restaurants, even finding little surprises on the way (such as a small opera that we were invited to attend). Wish we had more time at Maison belle Vue. Thank you Patrix for opening up your beautiful apartment for us to enjoy.
