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.).

DenmarkThe host is extremely helpful and friendly, she makes you feel like part of her own family even with limited Italian skills. Very tasty breakfast in the morning, including fresh croissants and local cheeses, eggs, tomatoes, etc. The B&B is just a few steps away from the city center, in a quieter street. The room had everything available that was needed for a comfy stay- spacious room and bathroom, big window with a nice view, AC- all very clean. We will definitely choose B&B Sorriso again if we come back to Taormina.

We loved the location, views and the spaciousness of the room. Our top floor apartment had a lovely balcony perfect for gazing into the night. However, the host was particularly amazing - upbeat, always smiling and very hospitable. She was an absolute to see in the mornings. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Melina, the host, was incredibly kind and welcoming to us for the whole stay. She provided a lovely breakfast each morning and let us keep our suitcases there on our last day. Our room was very clean and comfortable with a sea view, right in the heart of Taormina. You can catch a bus up from the train station and then it's around a 10 min walk.

PolandStaying at this place was an absolute pleasure! The host is an incredibly warm, kind, and helpful person — we felt truly welcome from the very first moment. The room was comfortable and well-equipped, and the view of sea from the window was simply priceless! The location is also perfect: very close to the city center and all the main attractions, yet the area is peaceful and quiet, which allowed us to relax completely. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the perfect spot to unwind and explore!

AustraliaSo clean and in the perfect location . Two minutes walk to the Main Street . The breakfast was perfect and plentiful . Boiled eggs , crusty bread butter and jams , tomatoes and mozzarella , lots of coffee . Waited on by the host . Such attentive and kind service . The bathroom though small was meticulously clean and fresh white towels provided daily . The air conditioning was amazing and perfect for the super hot summer days. The view out my window was very special of the coastline and the ocean. The bed was comfortable and the room had everything you could need in a B&B. The room is also serviced every day and mopped so it couldn’t have been cleaner . I loved it here . I would definitely stay again . Great value for money !

GeorgiaEverything was perfect!
Great location. Very close to the main bus station. It took us only 10-15 minutes on foot to reach the house, and it was okay, even though it was pretty sunny and there were some uphills. The house has amazing views all around. Great terrace The host was an amazing Sicilian woman. She prepared a very nice breakfast, and when we pointed out that the mozzarella was especially good, she did not hesitate even a second and brought another piece from the kitchen immediately. It was a great experience.

The flat was simple and very clean. Fausta was so warm and inviting. We felt bad about not taking her up on the breakfast offer because we were still so jet lagged and didn’t know when we would rise.

AustraliaEnjoyed staying here very much. It is located perfectly, just a block or so back from the Main shopping street and in easy walking distance to the cable car and bus terminal. If stairs aren't your thing, you can walk along the road which is a gradual slope and very easy for all ages. Melina was a wonderful host and breakfast everyday was a delight with a view across the rooftops of Taormina to the sea.
