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.).

AustriaAs mentioned already the walk to the city is something you need to be aware of. There are a lot of steps which can be quite hard if you are not so sporty.
Emanuela was an amazing host. She takes great care of the apartments and you see how much effort she puts in. She was also very helpful with some recommendations how to get around and where to go. The balcony view was amazing!

AustraliaThere are three sets of stairs to reach the main part of Taormina. It’s something to keep in mind for anyone with mobility issues or who may find steep climbs challenging.
We absolutely loved our stay in Taormina. The apartment was clean, tidy, and wonderfully cool thanks to the strong air conditioning—perfect after a day in the sun. The peaceful garden setting offered a quiet escape from the busy streets above, and there was plenty of space to unpack and stay organised, from the roomy bathroom and cupboard to the thoughtful layout of the living area. Breakfast each morning, overlooking the sea, was a highlight—simple, fresh, and relaxing. Parking was also a breeze, with free spots available right next to the football stadium. Emanuela was an incredible host, always bringing fresh water and keeping things tidy. It truly felt like a serene little retreat.

The bedroom had a window and small terrace with sea view and it was half way between the town and the sea. No light coming in the room at night and no sound. The host was very accommodating and friendly and gave us good tips.

CanadaFor us, really nothing. If you are driving, parking could be an issue and if you’re North American, driving there can be a bit nerve wracking. But we are Canadians and actually found it not too difficult at all. Learn to drive like the locals. If that doesn’t work, take a cab, then walk. Everything is close by! Once parked, we walked everywhere. Wonderful!
We loved the outdoor patio and the view. Emmanuela was very attentive and made us very comfortable. The location suited us perfectly being a close walk to all the major sites.

Loved our stay in La Via del Mare in Taormina. Emanuela, our host, made us feel comfortable as soon as we arrived. She was helpful with suggestions, and she served us a fabulous breakfast every morning on the terrace, which overlooked a stunning view. The location of the apartment is between the town centre and the beach which was very handy for us. The apartment was clean and a comfortable size with a kitchenette that suited our requirements. I would not hesitate to recommend this delightful accommodation.

We were able to park for free near the room and the host was very gracious and helpful. Her breakfasts were terrific and you could feel the desire for her to make us feel very welcomed!

United KingdomSome of the roads around Taormina are pretty challenging to drive. B&B is near to the top of the cable car. Street parking is possible nearby.
Emanuela was a great host; she was welcoming, friendly and very helpful. There is a fantastic view from the terrace. The B&B is a ten minute walk from Taormina town - uphill.
