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.).

AustriaIm not a big fan of sleeping only with a thin sheet and would wish the breakfast had a better selection but other than that we had an amazing experience and will come again1
I had a wonderful experience at Terra Rossa in Taormina. The location is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant plants that create a peaceful atmosphere. From the terrace, the view of Isola Bella is simply breathtaking – one of those spots where you could sit and admire the scenery for hours. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the natural beauty of Taormina while feeling immersed in a little garden paradise. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stay with both charm and spectacular views.

The location is good but you need to walk to the beach, and to get to the center you need to call a taxi. The view and the pool are simply wonderful!

United KingdomWould have been nice if the hotel offered the sale of drinks and snacks during the daytime and/or evening.
Lovely hotel. Truly beautiful gardens and pool area. Very spacious rooms, not luxurious but nicely decorated and very well equipped including kitchenette with refrigerator and basic cooking facilities. Great AC. Great WiFi. Lovely staff who speak good English and are friendly and helpful. Set in a quiet area halfway up the hillside between the beach below and the town above. You can reach both via steps… but there’s a lot of them! Fine if you’re fit and enjoy walking.

United KingdomThe location was peaceful but a bit too remote for us. The steps are fine for the young and fit but we found going up from the beach hard work. The best thing to do was walk down and then get the cable car up to the town.
The pool area and gardens are beautiful. The accommodation was quite basic. Giovanni was very helpful.

Slovenia*The location is on top of Taormina, which increases your travel time to other part of Sicily for another 30 minutes. *We would prefer if the cleaning leady came every day, not every other day. *We were missing some hygiene products in the bathroom. Once we ran out of them, they were not replaced.
Breathtaking View from the room. the bed was super comfortable, the whole area was perfectly neat and organised around the apartments (all the flowers and bushes and the pool). We felt heavenly really.

PolandThe smell in the bathroom from the pipes was intense at times.
You cannot beat this view❤️ The apartment with seaview and terrace is spectacular. And yes be prepared to hike/ walk/ climb 350 stairs down to the beach and closest restaurants and up to the city centre and ancient theatre. We loved it and were prepared. Taormina itself is wonderful. In May it was already a bit crowded. I guess high season can be a challenge with crowds and hot weather. Huge advantage is a parking space close to the property. We could not move the car while exploring the city and have some extra fitness all the way which we loved. Wonderful time in this serene location.

AustriaWe had a wonderful stay at this beautiful place in Sicily. The location was absolutely dreamy, and the view was simply breathtaking. The pool was large, clean, and perfect for relaxing. Breakfast was delightful every morning, with a great variety and quality. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome. While the rooms were a bit small, they were perfectly fine and very clean. Overall, everything was spotless and well maintained. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

AustriaTheres nothing we didn’t like. For us, it was perfect. If you have mobility difficulties, it might not be the best pick as you walk down to the beach and up to town. The walk is not strenuous and shouldn’t put mobile people off. Terrific accommodation.

United KingdomThe breakfast selection wasn’t appealing to us so we just cooked in the apartment. Just an FYI: Laundry fee is 20€
Amazing location with a lovely view of Isola Bella. The apartment was spacious and beds comfortable. We found free parking nearby easily. I definitely recommend hiring a car if you can’t walk many, many stairs. It’s only a 10 minute walk downhill to the beach clubs and Isola Bella. We would definitely stay again.
