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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 Stateseverything was great. Taormina is on the side of a steep mountain with very winding streets, so driving is not fun. Fortunatelty, driving is unnecessary.
Breakfasts were a treat, expansive and delicious. Martina was a great hostess. I would recommend it to anyone. The views from the rooms were stunning. The BnB was a short walk into town, so conveniently located. Martina's English is perfect.

CanadaWhile the location is beautiful once you get there, it is on a narrow street leading down to the sea, which can be intimidating for North American drivers like ourselves. We chose to leave our car in a parking garage. There is no elevator up to the B&B, and so one must use the stairs. Not a problem is you travel with just a carry-on, but more difficult with larger bags. Our host's brother kindly helped us with our bags.
Our host, Martina, was very welcoming and helpful. The apartment is beautifully furnished, is immaculate and has a huge balcony overlooking the water. Our room had its own little balcony. Everything was sparkling clean, and we had the best breakfast that we had anywhere in our travels in Sicily.

United KingdomCar parking is limited and somewhat challenging. There is no lift, therefore transporting heavy suitcases is hard work.
Dramatically perched on a rocky hilltop, B&B Martina is an excellent accommodation with characterful decor. The Hostess, Martina, is so friendly, approachable and helpful. She cooks fresh breakfast every morning and cannot do enough for her guests. The views over the sea, Taormina and to the hill towns inland are stunning.

GreeceIf someone isn't prepared to walk uphills to reach the city center or 3 levels of stairs to the apartment, it could be a little tricky, but this is Taormina after all!
We had a really lovely stay! The location is great, 10-15 minumtes walk to the city center, we had the room with balcony and the view was amazing, although the apartment has also a shared balcony that everyone can use, relax and enjoy the view. Parking was available on the street or nearby so it was ok since Taormina is really difficult to park. Breakfast was amazing, freshly cooked eggs, mozzarella, ricotta, homemade jams, croissants and bread cooked on the spot, fruits and juice. Martina was always available to assist us, she offered water and complimentary coffees and great advice on the area, what to visit or not and when to avoid traffic. We overall felt like we were being hosted at a friends house.

United KingdomThe stairs! As this is a top floor aparthotel and there is no lift (which we knew) it was still a challenge to get up 50+ steps to get there. Out bathroom also had steps without a handrail which is quite dangerous at night (which we knew). All this non the less was a challenge. Parking was not readily accessible and the car was left on on nearby spare ground.
Beautiful apartment, stunning views, lovely artwork, attentive host.

United StatesBe advised that the B&B is on the 4th floor and there is no elevator. Great exercise and not a big deal if you don't have mobility issues or heavy suitcases. This is why there is such a fantastic view! It is also a 10 minute walk to the center of Taormina where all the sites and restaurants are. Not a big deal unless it's hot. Uphill with some steps going to town but an easy downhill walk coming back.
This is a beautiful place. The decor is exceptional, the views are amazing from the room balcony and the spacious terrace and everything is spotless. Martina was very friendly and hospitable. She prepared a lovely breakfast for us each morning and gave us lots of good advice. The funivia (funicular) that goes down to the beaches and Isola Bella is only a 5 minute walk. We loved our stay here and would definitely stay again!
