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 location is not ideal if you don’t plan on renting a car. Taxis are expensive and walking to the city center is an uphill incline with several flights of stairs and can take about 25 minutes. Walking to Isola Bella beach is about a 30 minute walk. TVs only had a few cable channels.
The property is beautiful which includes a parking lot, a large swimming pool and an amazing view of Isola Bella. The staff is exceptional, providing guests with bath and pool towels daily and suggestions for restaurants, beaches, etc to visit. The apartment is spacious and clean, and our balcony was gorgeous. There are bus stops near by to get to the city, airport, and other locations and they come by pretty often.

SingaporeWe loved our stay at Isola Bella. The best aspect was by far the service. Alessandra at the front desk was so helpful. We were given recommendations for restaurants, beach clubs, taxis etc upon check in which was very helpful. But we also had a few extra things we needed help with. Unexpectedly, we needed to find a tailor. Alessandra found one for us quickly. She managed to get us beach beds when a club was sold out. We also had an issue with the safe (where our passports were) the night before we were leaving. Reception was closed and wouldn't be open again until after we had left Taormina. She can back to our apartment at 10pm and helped us get our passports. We would not have been able to travel without her! We loved the complex the apartment was in and the views are incredible. We look forward to returning.

United KingdomThe only thing I would change for £400 a night I think a daily maid service is needed. Also confusion around the rubbish 3 types of rubbish for you to sort out but only 1 bin?
The apartment was large & fully kitted out kitchen . The balcony was amazing huge with unreal view of isola bella. The pool area was immaculate & very chill never busy even though there were only about 8 beds. Staff friendly & helpful. 5 mins drive to Taormina which is beyond words for beauty - you could walk or get bus as well.

United KingdomNothing bad at all but a few small suggestions are to ensure the bathroom drains are regularly unblocked as the shower could get blocked but that was minor.
The pool area and gardens were beautiful. The car park excellent especially for an area where parking is impossible. The rooms were great and the maid service every 2 days to give the apartment a refresh was beyond my expectations

United KingdomThe walk from the apartment into the main part of Taormina was quite hard work - either walk on the road which had no pavements or a climb up just under 200 steps in the heat. Best to catch the shuttle bus
Great apartment and Paolo on reception was very helpful and sent us a number of local recommendations which were very helpful. Pool area was lovely and quiet and well equipped with loungers. Super views and great balcony.

United KingdomThe location and the lovely, airy apartment with magnificent views - the balcony overlooked Isola Bella and Mount Etna greeted us when we opened the front door. The apartments are new and beautifully maintained - light and airy and it is a nice touch to be given a little food (we didn't use the pasta and sauce but appreciated the gesture). The pool area is tranquil and the grounds verdant. I'm not going to put this under "didn't like" because we didn't find this an issue but it's quite a walk if you wanted to go up to the old town - we didn't as we had already enjoyed 3 days up in the hustle and bustle. We drove down to eat nearer the sea - again quite a walk - there is a very convenient bus that stops outside the property.

United KingdomIn the living room, the lighting is quite harsh and the sofa uncomfortable which means the living room area is not a very comfortable room to use, although, if the weather is good, the balcony makes an excellent area to relax in. The negative aspect of the hillside location of the apartment is that it is not within an easy walk of either the nearest beach or of Taormina centre. As we did not hire a car, this meant that even going to the nearest resort areas required taxi rides (which are quite expensive). Overall, we enjoyed our stay but would have preferred to have had a better understanding of the location beforehand.
The apartment is modern and spacious with fantastic views over Isola Bella and across the sea towards mainland Italy. It also has a balcony with lounging chairs and also dining table and chairs. There is a pool with nice views towards the sea and sunbeds/chairs. Inside, the furnishing is modern and attractive. The location of the property has both positives and negatives - on the positive side, being halfway up the hill between Isola Bella and Taormina, it offers great views.

United StatesThe location isn’t really walking distance to the beach or the city center. The taxi is 40 Euros round trip for a 10min ride. We did walk to the city center and beach during the day. It’s about 25 min walk to both but you need to be in good shape. It’s very steep with a lot of steps and the roads are very narrow and dangerous. I definitely wouldn’t do it at night. Also the pull out couch wasn’t comfortable and the water pressure was horrible.
The apartment has a large terrace with an amazing view. The parking is free and has plenty of spaces. The pool area is beautiful with an amazing view as well. The host Paulo is very easy to reach and extremely helpful.

The apartment was excellent. A great size for the 3 of us. Very comfortable. The apartment also had an excellent balcony with a panoramic view over the ocean and across Isola Bella. We had driven to Taormina from Palermo. As such, having parking facilities on site was a bonus. We enjoyed the pool in the afternoons before heading out to dinner each night. The apartment was very well located with a short walk up to the town or down to the beach.
