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.).

IrelandThere was nothing we didn’t like but I’d advise future guests to ensure that they keep the air con bins on the balcony upright and empty them regularly to avoid upsetting the neighbours. Ensure the fridge door remains closed by pressing it firmly when shutting.
The apartment was spacious, tastefully decorated, spotless and well equipped. It had spectacular views and was a short walk from the seafront. The hosts were extremely helpful and very accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to go back some day.

United StatesThe location is a bit off the beaten path. You have to take a bus to Taormina town but it’s a short bus ride. The beach was also not great for swimming.
The apartment was beautiful and super clean. It had everything you would need for a long or short stay. The balcony overlooking the sea was beautiful.

BelgiumLocation a bit between 2 villages. Main road quite noisy, despite the 5th floor and the distance from it. Water system not perfect in the bathroom (noise with cold water in the bathroom sink and bath-shower-head not working properly).
Host very kind and helpful with good tips for visits. Very nice view from the flat. Many balconies !! Kitchen well equipped. Large beds. Big bathroom with nice bathtub.

CanadaWe didn't like that we had to leave. We would have been happy to stay here for our entire trip
The most beautiful place we've ever stayed. The apartment was elegantly furnished, exceptionally spacious and comfortable, very clean and still very homey. The views from 3 sides were amazing. We were close to everything - the train station, markets, restaurants, bakeries, Taormina and the beaches. The pictures don't do the apartment justice. Rachel was so kind and helpful. She offered to pick us up when she found out we had mobility issues, and took us to a market to make sure we had food and what ever else we needed. Very much appreciated. We highly recommend this property.

CyprusTo reach Taormina Center, Isola Bella beach or the cable car that can take you to Taormina, you need a mean of transportation. If you haven’t rented a car or a motorbike, the only way is a taxi, which means 15€ for every ride to or from Taormina Center (for a maximum 10 minute ride). Besides that, it is a beautiful, elegant apartment, with amazing sea view, in a quiet area near the train station! It’s just preferable to have your own vehicle for transportation
Luigi and Rachel are wonderful and friendly people, they welcomed us with smile on their faces, despite our huge delay. The apartment is gorgeous, really spacious, clean and elegant! The view is breathtaking, you can enjoy your morning coffee at the balcony and start your day the best possible way! Train station within walking distance, also a pizzeria, a mini market and a bakery! Everything was great

Luigi is the best host! We were able to do an early check-in. We arrived on a Sunday and all the shops were soon closing and he offered to drive us to the nearest supermarket to buy what we needed. Life saver! Location is very good. Walking distance from the train station. From there you can take the bus up to Taormina. Walking distance from a nice beach and great restaurants. The building is close to a very busy street but the bedrooms are not facing that street so it's not very noisy. Amazing sea view, nice furnishings, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen.

CanadaAs the apt was located on the road leading to the hospital and a motorcycle repair shop was on the corner it tended to be noisy but it did not affect the bedrooms as they were at the back of the apartment. One bed was very comfy and one was very hard and needed to be replaced.more than one set of towels each and one set of kitchen towels would have been appreciated. Overall a lovely stay and these small things are easily remedied.
The apt was very spacious, clean and bright. The furniture was lovely and the hosts were responsive and accommodating. The free parking was a bonus!

United StatesThe property's main upper lock door has a phone cord wrapped to avoid lockdown at the exit. We were not told that even though we adults figured was there for a reason. However we were traveling with young kids, an as typical and curious they are, probably the kids either touched or with the open and closed it got loose, in consecuenquese one of the 3 nights we stayed we arrived at around 9:30 m and we could not get in, the door was looked and none of the other keys we had worked since those keys were for the bottom lock. The host I must say promptly responded to us and sent his wife with a key (she was an hour away distance) it seems they live about 1-hour distance. After an hour of waiting for her, none of the keys she had worked, again we had to wait another hour for her to come back which she did, but then it was past 1:00 am, and we all were tired, exhausted, and angry at that point, kids have to sleep in the rental car ( which thank God we had) for the 4/2 hour ordeal. A total inconvenience for both parties. If you are renting a property it must be properly provided with all keys, and not with a "phone cord acting as a lock holder. We were not offered a discount, money back, or anything, merely an apology, for such a nightmare. The host ( husband) did try his best and we could feel his concern, but the wife had a defensive attitude that we did not appreciate, she make look like it was all our fault, not that I am trying to be apologetic.
The area is superb, a short distance from Taormina center (10 minutes drive), and the view is a fantastic one, pretty big property and very clean ( 'but' the smell from the septic tank or public sewer was very strong as you walk in the property). Overall the place is not the best priced for what it is, but again we traveled from August 9th-13th it is the busy season. I just think they should really figure out this issue lock because it can happen at any time.
