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.).

There are a lot of steps up to it but we knew this in booking it. And absolutely worth it for the sea views

Verified reviewVery central, clean and very nice terrace. The hosts were super reactive and accommodating. We had everything we needed!
The stairs would be a bit difficult for people with mobility issues. Can be a tad noisy at night.

Verified reviewThe apartment was great, spacious with 2 beautiful terraces and absolutely incredible views! Close to old town (a few minutes walk), buses, and gondola. Countless restaurants in walking distance. Great location! Beds were comfortable, spacious for 5 people, we were 3 adults and 2 teens, only 1 bathroom though so had to allow a little more time when getting ready for dinner. We had a fantastic stay, had a few meals on the terrace with a deli and supermarket just across the road. Reaching the beaches was easy, both Mazzarò and Isola Bella were stunning. Oh it’s also worth getting up for sunrise!
Kitchen could have been better equipped, with paper towels, tea towels etc. So many stairs to climb which was tough for heavy bags and the heat. Also internal narrow stairs to top floor. Once checked in the stairs didn’t bother us. The view was completely worth it!

Verified reviewThe apartment is a clean and comfortable place to stay in Taormina. It is located centrally in town close to all of shops, restaurants and public transportation. The hosts (Ernesto and Giuseppe) were nice and accommodating as we arrived in town after hours and they both still helped us get settled in even though we called them late in the evening. The views from the outdoor terraces are spectacular.
I was part of a family of five which included a senior (87 years old) and 2 young children ages 7 and 10. We had a lot of luggage and there were way too many steps both outside and inside to get to the apartment. In fact after the long trek of carrying luggage up the outside steps, I then had to carry the luggage 3 flights up narrow interior steps. The front door of the building is located on the outside staircase itself making it difficult to stand with our luggage in front of the front door while looking for the key. The lighting outside was poor at night and the first light inside the building was not working at the time. I think the hosts need to figure out a way to make that part (assisting guests with their luggage even for an extra fee) more accommodating Finally the apartment itself is nice and comfortable but it could be decorated a bit better to give it a more comfortable feeling when guests stay there.

Verified reviewBeautiful view and good location. A/C worked great. Good sized space.
Cleanliness could have been better. Kitchen was quite dirty, floors looked like they haven’t been cleaned, bathroom was okay. Few small ants here and there, which I expect being in Sicily, but it made the feeling of comfort & cleanliness a bit worse.

Verified reviewThe location was great and the room very spacey.
The bed was pretty uncomfortable but okay. Also the bathroom was clean but in the wall there was some mould and the shower was a bit rusty so it made it feel as if it wasn't so clean. The main problem however was the noise and the soundproofing. There was literally zero soundproofing in the room, we could hear the people from the room next door, everything they were saying. We could also hear a lot of noise from the road and outside. However the main thing was the housekeeping. On our last day the housekeeping came in the building at 9am (which in my opinion is too early for vacation, someone might want to sleep in) and was talking with other people staying there, or talking or the phone or putting on music from the radio!! This went on for 30-45 minutes and it was as if she was in the room with us! This is very unacceptable. When you are staying in a room you should be able to sleep in without someone talking super loudly and putting music on outside your room so early in the morning. Additionally, our checkout was at 10:30 and we wanted to be able to leave our luggage somewhere for 1 hour, so we can get some coffee before we left. We messaged the hosts asking if we could leave our luggage at a safe place and they said they don't have a place to leave our luggage (which is very unprofessional, I have never stayed somewhere where they didn't have a place to leave luggage) and when we asked if we can leave them in the corridor outside the room (so housekeeping could clean the room for the next people) and just keep our keys for just 1 HOUR extra and then come back to take the luggage and leave the keys at 11:30 they said we couldn't do that. In my opinion this is very unprofessional and wouldn't recommend this place to other people. Yes the location was great but not worth it in terms of the soundproofing and the unprofessionalism of the hosts.

Verified reviewGood location, short walk from the centre. Suited us well for a short stay. Taormina is beautiful, if crowded. The gardens are a must see.
Quite a few steps to reach the apartment ….but Taormina is a hilly place !

Verified reviewThe unit was quiet, clean and comfortable.
We did not receive arrival instructions soon enough to access them on our phones without wifi prior to arrival. Thus, finding the property was very frustrating as there is no sign or house number on the building which makes things unnessicarly difficult especially after climbing so many steps with luggage. A kind stranger helped us out with their wifi. Also, I thought the unit had a small kitchenette and dining area, it did not. There was a fridge, coffee maker and counter with no stools.

Verified reviewLocation was great. Close to cable car and city center . We went there early and Eleni cleaning lady was there and she was so sweet to guide us for local restaurants etc. Clean , good view from balcony. Parked at Lumbi. Shuttles are available from parking area to city center and hotel
Get ready for stairs to reach to hotel. I realized that breakfast reviews are from 2022 and not aware that it is not included. Just for your awareness.
