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.).

United StatesThe only thing we felt was that it was 10-12 minutes away from beaches and from city center. Definitely need a car or must relay on taxi. Roads are curvy so need to drive with extra caution.
The house was amazing. It had all amenities needed. The view was spectacular, spacious for 4 people and truly felt like an Italian experience.

United KingdomThe main bedroom has fabulous views, en suite bath but no separate shower, just hand help spray which tends to soak the floor. Bed 2 has en suite shower, Bed 3 has a shower room downstairs. All bedrooms have direct access to a large wrap around terrace but face in different directions so no feeling of loss of privacy.
Fantastic views over Taormina and the surrounding hills, did not disappoint. Good cooking facilities, internet, aircon. Nice garden with wide terrace all around and multiple seating areas to pick for the time of day. Large fridge/freezer and well equipped with glasses, crockery etc. Feels like a family home and you can eat indoors or out and admire the views. High up so gets some natural breeze on hot days.

Fantastic villa with incredible views, and an incredibly friendly host! We rented the house for a week during the fall and enjoyed every moment. It looks like the pictures, but the view and surroundings need to be experienced in reality. The road up to the house is exciting and you need a rental car. Good area for parking. Washing machine was appreciated as we had already traveled more than a week upon arrival. Well equipped kitchen. Several outdoor seats and deckchairs on the lawn. Close to Taormina and perfect location for excursions along the coast. Nicola, the host of the house, is an incredibly friendly man who both met us on arrival and guided us the last bit, answered questions about the offerings during the week and helped us with recommendations when we had to book a boat trip. Truly full service! We are incredibly grateful we rented the house and miss waking up to the sunrise over Taormina Bay. Rent the house, you won't be disappointed!

A beautiful and traditional Italian villa. Gorgeous terrace that wraps around the house with multiple seating areas to choose from and enjoy the gorgeous views. Villa was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The owner was so detail focused and attentive, he made our stay a lovely one. Would not hesitate to rebook this property.

It was the best accomodation of my life: incredible authentic house with magnificent views, marvelous surroundings. wonderful hosts. I spent a lot of time to find a place where I want to wake up at my 50. And I found it. The villa was perfect. We did not want to go as all other guests, whoe`s reviews I read on booking.com. We will certainly try to come back for more days. 3 nights were not enough. All my family was ready only to sit around the table and look to to the amazing Taormina, mountains and the sea. Thank you so much, Nicola and Francheska, for your hospitality, help and kindness!

United KingdomNot really negative points, but i) the instructions how to reach the villa were not correct and google is perfectly good to find the villa. ii) the host should explain to the guests that there are mosquito screens fitted on the windows. It took us a few days to work this out.
The host contacted us beforehand and was waiting for us at the property. When we requested the 3rd bedroom to be made up the host did this without any issues. He even offered to provide our daughter with acrylic paint and paper so that she could make a painting.

United StatesIt is up a very steep hill from the coastal road. You need to drive everywhere down some (well-maintained) serpentine road. It takes about 10 min to reach the parking in Taormina (up and down some windy roads).
There are lovely views of Taormina and the sea. It was a very personal check-in experience. The villa genuinely has everything: modern air conditioning, a beautiful kitchen with a huge gas oven, great kitchen utilities, comfortable beds, a big garden, and modern bathrooms. There is also art by the owner, terraces with a view, parking, and an electric gate. It feels like a true home.

United KingdomIt suggested a hot tub but the main bathroom had a bath with the ability to have bubbles, we thought it was a hot tub, which might just be an oversight or misinterpretation or communication issue. No real problem at all.
Well what can I say? Nicola and Angela were amazing, great welcome, they had provided the basics for us to get settled and the villa was amazing. The grounds were really well kept, we felt happy cooking, being at home, Nicola even gave us homemade jam, tomato sauce, home grown oranges and lemons, hand picked olives. A delightful retreat for my mother, as we just lost my father and aunt, who has never been to Sicily. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much.
