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 StatesI liked everything, but I wish I had asked about the controls on the air conditioning. Would have been easier than trying to figure it out on my own! For anyone with mobility issues: be aware the building has stairs, Taormina is steep with cobblestone streets. Nothing different than I've seen in Italy, but worth noting.
A beautiful, modern, light filled apartment. The terrace has views of town, the bay and Mount Etna. Gorgeous to wake up to and to end the day. The air conditioning is modem. The windows block out the outside noise very effectively. There is a small kitchen if you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of dining out. Excellent grocery store a few minutes walk away Staff is helpful and friendly. They will make restaurant reservations If you go to the beach: ask the staff to arrange the shuttle service to Lido Sayonara, it's lovely

Beautiful apartment, delightfully decorated. It has everything you need for your status. Beds are very comfortable. It is just 2 or 3 min walk from shopping district and close to every tourist spot. We want to go back to Taormina and stay at La Malandrina. Marcelo was an excellent host and super friendly. Thanks for making our stay a great experience.

United KingdomNothing to do with the apartment, but we hadn't realised how hilly the area was. It was hard work in the heat walking up so many steep paths! Just worth being aware, especially if you aren't as mobile.
I'd highly recommend the La Malandrina - Apartments & Suites. Such a great location, very near to the centre. Beautiful apartment, exceptional housekeeping and reception staff who were there to help with anything we needed. We were glad to have the balcony space, beautiful views of Mount Etna and the coastline. Thank you for making our stay so welcoming, comfortable and enjoyable. We would definitely stay again.

Hong Kongnothing really.
spotless room, modern facilities, very friendly and helpful staff, great location. it is just perfect all around. If I come to Taormina again I wouldn't even bother to check any other accomondations. the contrast is amazing - you walked out of door everything you can see is old (as they all are in Italy) but within the apartment everything is so modern as if in a fancy hotel in Hong Kong (our home city). the car valet service was also a life saver.

AustraliaWe had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful property in Taormina. Perfectly positioned with a breathtaking view over the water, it was the ideal spot to celebrate our anniversary. We were greeted on arrival with chilled Prosecco—a thoughtful and generous touch that made us feel instantly special. The room was stunningly styled with elegant decor and luxurious toiletries, making our stay feel truly indulgent. Every detail was beautifully considered. Marcello and Sara went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Their warmth, hospitality, and local tips added so much to our experience. We can’t recommend this place highly enough and would return in a heartbeat!

Everything! Stayed here a few years ago and would not stay anywhere else. This time we had the penthouse apartment and my parents stayed in the panoramic view. Both apartments were exceptional, they had amazing views, were spacious, had everything you need to feel at home and cook a meal and were cleaned on a daily basis. The location is excellent, just around the corner from the hustle and bustle and there is a wonderful butchers and laundrette a few doors away. Hosts very helpful with advice on restaurants and transport. Can't wait to go back.

Absolute 10/10 hotel! Staff was above and beyond friendly. We stayed in the 'Persige' apartment and I can refer to that. The entire apartment was very stylish, quality furniture, superb bathrooms, comfortable beds, attention to details like A/C-s built in the ceiling, electric window shades, etc. Location is very good, just 3 minutes walk from the gate to the historical center of the city. It was a very good apartment even for a long stay. Bonus: Valet parking is very convenient and we were very satisfied with the service.

Beautifully decorated and the apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The apartment was quiet waking to birds chirping sweetly in the morning but close enough to the amazing shopping district, restaurants and town viewing points. Another bonus, a laundromat close by who organised our clothes to be dropped back to our apartment.
