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...).

South KoreaVilla Astoria is the best location for travelers to go somewhere else. It is located right next to the Interbus Terminal. And the view of the room is so beautiful. Incredible sea view... My stay at the Astoria Villa Hotel was so comfortable and I had a wonderful view that I dreamed of. All the staff at the front desk were kind and printed out my plane ticket. After checking out, they checked in their luggage and looked after the customer's convenience and consideration. I would like to stay at this hotel again if I have a chance. Thank you ~ Grazie Mille

United States of AmericaThe stairs up to the room with luggage. No elevator.
The location was the best ever! You don’t need a car. You can take the bus everywhere and it is right across the street. You can even buy water and snacks there. You are also very close to the gondola which takes you down to the beach. You are in the ideal location. The view from our room was amazing from our little balcony. Breakfast in the morning was simple but good. Nice variety of fresh breads, cereal, cold cuts, eggs, fresh juices and great coffee. Giuseppe and his associates at the front desk were very helpful. They made special arrangements for us to arrive late, a parking space for our car (20eu a night) and bookings for activities. A simple clean and friendly hotel. Should we return we would definitely stay here again.

United States of AmericaOur only complaint was that the door to the shower stall did not work well but I am sure it is fixed by now.
The view outside our bedroom balcony was tremendous, with an unobstructed view, looking over the Mediterranean Sea. We were on the second floor. Villa Astoria is a small hotel located on the road leading into Taormina and away from the crowds and congestion. And just a short walk to get into main square. The breakfast was wonderful with fresh pastries, cheese, meat and eggs,and fruit, with fresh cappuccino and fresh orange juice prepared by a barista. The hotel staff was helpful and responsive, with great suggestions for restaurants away from main tourist areas. We would gladly return to Villa Astoria for view and service. Also, a great value.

The location of Villa Astoria is perfect particularly if travelling by bus from the airport and for walking into Taormina. All the staff are very helpful and friendly and on the day we were leaving early on a trip they provided a lovely packed breakfast. Luca recommended two local restaurants and both were superb. I recommend this b&b wholeheartedly!

Lovely small hotel a short walk from Taormina town centre. We booked a room with a balcony and sea view which is a must do as the view is fantastic. The room was clean, quiet, roomy and the hotel is conveniently located just a short walk to town. The staff were all friendly and helpful, with some excellent recommendations for local restaurants. Also easy to get to Etna from here if you have your own car, just an hour drive - be sure to book a car park space at the hotel in advance.

United Arab EmiratesThe walls are thin. I had to ask the people next door to stop playing video games by 10PM, but they were kind and did just that, so all was good.
The view from the room was incredible at sunrise. I kept my window open all evening and enjoyed the sunrise view with the birds waking me up. It was close enough to walk into town and get groceries - right across from a bus station. Nearby are also stairs down to a beach. It was lovely to do as a morning workout.

United KingdomWhile it’s possible to buy drinks from the Reception there is no separate bar or pool to relax in.
location is fantastic, with amazing sea views. The hotel is on the quieter side of town - so although within 10 mins walk of the action it’s easy to leave the crowds behind. Gated Private parking in their grounds in front of hotel meant there were no security worries. The included breakfast was plentiful varied and good.
