How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe location was very good, the heating worked well, since the weather was a bit colder at the end of January. The fridge was good as well. I loved the view from the window. Ok price for Taormina.
The duvet didn’t have a cover, the cold was entering through the bathroom so we had to close the door. We didn’t have hot water the first day of the stay and the apartment could be cleaner. It’s called B&B but there was no breakfast, only a plate, a bowl and a kettle. 2€ tourist tax a day per person. But I guess you get what you pay for.

Verified reviewJust stay away! Dirty rooms and sheets, when asked for correction, we were offered to do it ourself. The cleaning closted looks like a rubbish dump with even more dirty sheets. Refunds were offered but not processed because they only want to communicate via WhatsApp. They are a fraud who are seeking your money. Stay away

Verified reviewI didn't have hight expectations since I saw the ratings. The good thing is the location, it's really close to center and there's a paid parking (you cannot park in the street) just in front of the place.
We came after a morning flight and wanted to check-in as early as possible. But the host sent us a short message (in Italian, later we realised that this is common in general) that the room would be ready only after 5. This was quite annoying, since we were tired after our flight. So finally after 5 we found 2 keys in a locker (not locked btw) and had to figure out ourselves which was ours (the host didn't bother to reply to message). The room was super simple. Leaking mini fridge, no any kitchen, just an electric kettle, few plates, cups, forks and spoons. The sheets and towels had stains, window blinds are a bit broken and the toilet was leaking. We stayed only one night and I saw what were the prices for other apartments in Taormina. So as I mentioned before, I didn't expect something great. I just need to mention that all the rest appartments that we had in other towns were so much better and cheaper.

Verified reviewNothing. I chose B&B Iris because it was the closest and only one available to the bus terminal in Taormina and were going to the theatre at night.
We stayed in the room with the view, room 1. Where to start! The room is a fire hazard. The lock is broken, you need to juggle the key and this would be tragic in case of an emergency. The sheets and towels are all stained, the shower curtain is broken, the shower head and tube leaks what are you waiting to replace them.

Verified reviewDO NOT EVEN CONSIDER GOING THERE While I understand that occasional mishaps can happen, the conditions we encountered during our stay were entirely unacceptable and did not align with the images and descriptions provided in the listing. Upon our arrival, we were dismayed to find that the room would not have been ready for check-in at 14:00. Despite this being the agreed time, the host showed no urgency or interest in preparing the room, which was inconvenient after a long day of travel (and the warm weather in Taormina). Once we were finally able to access the room, we encountered several issues that significantly impacted our stay: 1. The bed sheets were stained 2. The towels provided were dirty and humid 3. The shower head was broken and water pipe bright yellow 4. Stains of humidity were visible in the door frame and on the door itself 5. The door lock was broken and the door was difficult to open and lock. 6. The trash bin had not been emptied before our arrival 7. The water boiler had a crusty bottom 8. The mug provided had what appeared to be rust inside it 9. The cutlery and water kettle were dirty 10. There were very visible white stains on the table, which should have been cleaned prior to our arrival. We chose BnB Iris with the understanding that it was a more affordable option in Taormina, and we were well aware of the high prices in the area. However, regardless of the price, basic hygiene and safety should never be compromised. The conditions we encountered were far below the minimum standards expected, regardless of the cost. ] [Your Contact Information]
