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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Netherlandsbeautifully situated with view on Taormina and on walking distance from the center and beach. Maria makes you feel at home right away and the breakfast is very tasty with eggs, pancakes, granita etc. made by her husband. We loved it and wish we had booked longer!

SwedenWhat a hidden gem Avocado B&B turned out to be! This place stands out for two main reasons. Firstly, the property itself is spacious and well-maintained, with convenient parking easily available for every guest. The rooms are nestled within a lush garden full of flowers and greenery, creating a peaceful, authentic Sicilian atmosphere. Evenings were especially magical—sitting outside our room, enjoying the view of Taormina and Castelmola's twinkling lights, or relaxing by the pool. Secondly, and most importantly, it’s the owners who make this place truly special. Paola and Italo, both Sicilian by birth, run their B&B with genuine warmth and that Italian charm. Their passion for their island shines through—in their fascinating stories about Sicily's history and culture, and in their thoughtful advice and local tips, which made our stay even more memorable. We honestly felt less like guests and more like visiting friends or family. A truly special experience—I highly recommend Avocado B&B to anyone visiting the area.

RomaniaThe accomodation has very good location, near to the beach, restaurants and shops. The room is big and clean and nice designed, also the yard is green and big, with a nice pool(especially in the night) and very nice view. The hosts were very welcoming and nice people! If we will have the opportunity for sure we will come again for more than 2 nights.

The best place ever, if you stay in Sicily!! Good location, close to the beach and to the center also, cosy room, nice garden with pool, delicious breakfast served fresh and various, everything what you can wish. But the best is the owner Maria, and her family! She helped us so much! She gave us very good advices, did everything for us, but the most important: we feelt here like a part of a sicilian family! We can't tell enough how much we loved our stay here. Thank you Maria! We love you, and come back as soon as it possible! GRAZIE MILLE! ❤️

United KingdomThis is an amazing place to stay, I would describe it more as a boutique hotel! Individual buildings with rooms set in the most beautiful gardens with a lovely pool and amazing views. Our family room was right next to the pool which my little boy loved. The rooms are cleaned every day and have everything you need, very comfy beds and air con. The hosts are lovely, very welcoming and make the most delicious breakfasts including omelettes, crepes etc. Off road parking in the grounds is also a bonus. Only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach, restaurants etc. Very handy for everything. Highly recommended. Would love to come back!

AustriaMaria and Italo (and Tango) are the best hosts you can wish to have ;) their hospitality made this a wonderful stay and amazing holiday, even though the weather was not always good. We could even have a bigger house, which helped a lot with the kid and the rain. The place has everything, a great pool with an amazing view and wonderful big garden full of lemons and the best and individual breakfest you could think of. A nice and perfect little place to enjoy - and not even 10min to a wonderful beach an lovely beachside. You can even come by public bus (which is 5min from the house), directly from the airport/catania or taormina. Hope to see you again ;) Best greetings from Austria

BulgariaThere was some ants in one of the bathrooms and room (we got 3 rooms) but I think it was because of the season and Maria will take care of them ;)
The green yard and rooms were perfect. There is a lots of fruit trees. The host Maria-Paola is really nice and FUN person and she will give you everything you need. We also liked her dog Tango. The main road is close but we didn't find the property noisy. You can easily walk to the sea or even to Taormina if you are adventures.

United KingdomI guess no one was staying in the property in for a while as there was a smell. Looked clean in general. It just a little things add up. Marks, stains on the doors, some hangers broken and mixed matched, dusty window ledge and ceiling light shades. Shower glass mucky, TV screen black lines and stained. Little touch is needed around the garden as every corner you look or walk ,something is left behind. Building leftover materials, broken leather, pots... If we weren't given extra room, I'd say it wasn't worth asking price. Based on other properties, we stayed during our holiday in Sicily.
Owner the sweetest people . Warm ,friendly, and welcoming. Fresh,hot, home-made breakfast. Location short walk from the centre. Didn't bother much about noisy road. Large garden to explore. Had additional room as there was no one staying next door. Clean towels and bedding.
