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 minor quibble was the bed was a bit too hard for our liking. This was improved by getting extra pillow each, but was definitely not too bad. Otherwise I couldn’t fault it.
Really great location / directly opposite the main Taormina bus station - buses straight to the airport and the hop on hop off buses easy reach. Walking to the Main Umberto high street is only 5 or so minutes and the cable car down to isola Bella is closer still. We had a superior room with balcony and the view was incredible. The breakfast for 10 euros a day was very nice and the home made cannoli were to die for! Salvatore and team were so friendly and welcoming and gave some great tips on what to do around town.

United KingdomSimply cant think of anything we didn't like to be honest.
Fantastic hotel right beside the main bus terminal and within easy walking distance of the main areas of Taormina as well as the cable car down to the beach. Great value for money and very clean, the balcony view of the sea was superb. Cant praise the staff enough, they were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this hotel.

The staff were amazing especially Salvatore and Mauru. I was really worried about arriving after 20:30 in the evening as the check in closes at that time and I’d be stuck in front of locked doors. Salvatore though sent me a code and detailed instructions for a key safe which he would put on the outside of the door so that I could get in.

BelgiumNothing really. The Villa doesn't offer a lift yet, which can be a problem for some people but the staff kindly helps you with your luggage.
Villa Astoria is a beautiful villa dating back to the end of the 19th century and has been in the family of the owner for several generations. The rooms are clean and some of them have a seaview. The service by the staff and the owner is perfect . A stay at Villa Astoria offers more than a stay in a big, modern hotel. It offers you a glimpse of 19th century Taormina.

NetherlandsThe hotel is perfectly and centrally located. It is opposite a square from where the buses arrive and depart. It is close to the cable car to go to the beach and about 5 to 10 minutes' walk to the city centre. The breakfast is extensive and well taken care of (with beautiful seaside view😍). Clean room with good facilities. But above all, the friendly staff will make your stay at Hotel Villa Astoria pleasant. They are happy to give you information on what to do in the area and where to eat.

MaltaThe hotel is in a perfect area which is very close to Taormina’s center and also right in front of the bus terminal. So, if you get by bus the hotel is right in front of it making it so much easier to travel. The ones behind the reception are so friendly and as soon as we arrived they gave us a map and showed us the main attractions without even asking them. They are also good in talking english and also very clean. There is also the dog Lucy which is so cute and friendly! ♥️♥️

AustraliaI did feel like the floor was not entirely clean (a bit sandy) when I first entered the room as i do like to take off my shoes while indoors.
Salvatore is such a sweet and lovely host. He helped in a lot of ways and even when he wasn't around the staff at the front desk was really pleasant and willing to help out with a friendly smile
