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.).

IsraelAmazing attitude from the beginning, messages about what time to arrive if there are any special requests. The hotel has parking, it is recommended to inform in advance that you are arriving with a car. The hotel staff took care of all requests. Gave lots of recommendations on where to visit the city. Asked and recommended all kinds of restaurants

United KingdomNothing.
The staff in particular are amazing, everyone we interacted with that worked there were lovely, helpful people. The resident dog, Lucy, in particular made our stay perfect. You can sometimes see her pottering around downstairs. Other than that, a clean, value place that is perfectly situated. Just a short walk up the hill into town. Quiet at night. Remember, you are not booking the Ritz, but a lovely, clean place ran by people who care about the guests. The view from the balcony was amazing and we often stayed in of an evening and sat watching it during our 7 night stay. Couldn’t recommend the place enough. Can’t wait to come back.

HungaryThere was a weird smell in out bathroom, especially in the morning
Everybody was really kind and helpful. The location is perfect, the Corso Umberto is a 5 minute walk, the bus station is in front of the property and the calbe car is also really close. The breakfast was great, there were eggs, bacon, sausages, different types of pastries, fruits and muesli as well. The cappuchino is really good and we got fresh orange juice every morning. The room is big enough and the bed is comfortable. It was modernized, with newer flooring and furnitures. You cant hear anything from the busy street, but we sometimes heard when others arrived to their rooms next to ours. All in all, its was really good value for our money, we enjoyed our stay. There was a dog, Lucy, the “owner” of the property. Shes beautiful and friendly, she likes playing fetch.

Perfectly located in Taormina, walking distance to everything. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The room was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed. I already miss the delicious breakfast with a fantastic view, especially the fresh-squeezed orange juice! I would definitely stay here again.

NorwayIt showed up that the location of Villa Astoria for us was 10 out if 10. Next to bus station, 200m to steps down to beach, 200m to cable car after return from beach. 400m to Gate Messina where main street starts. We had warm welcomed and given lots of info. Breakfast buffet is perfect with hot and cold selections, coffe to tast, freshly pressed orange juice, youghurt, fruit and cakes. Hotel offered transfer service to a near by beach with sun beds and welcome drink for € 16. A great deal. Staff was superfriendly, as also the dog greating us when we was 'at work' Thanks a lot. We will return

United KingdomThis is our 3rd time staying at Villa Astoria- we love it here. The most beautiful sea view, balcony, spacious room and bathroom. For being a 5 minute walk into Taormina centre it’s great value for money and the best in the area. Thank you to all the team at Villa Astoria for making us comfortable… and to Lucy for being the best hotel dog🐶

LithuaniaThe only area that could be improved is the breakfast, though it was more than sufficient for me and likely for most guests as well.
The villa is in a perfect location. Even if it’s your first time in Taormina and you don’t know what to expect, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the place. You can reach the city center from both sides of the villa, and just 300 meters away, there’s a cable car that takes you almost directly to Isola Bella. Parking is available for booking, which is highly recommended in Taormina. The rooms are spacious and equipped with air conditioning. The staff is very helpful and will provide you with a map highlighting all the must-see spots during your stay.

United KingdomThe pillows were quite firm and it would have been nice to have the option of two instead of just one. The TV didn’t seem to work, but we weren’t that bothered about watching it.
Good location, decent sized room and great views of the sea from small balcony. Rooms are basically furnished, but have everything needed, including small fridge and a/c. Enjoyed the fact the hotel has a friendly dog called Lucie who likes playing ball, although she doesn’t bother you if you don’t want to interact with her.

AustraliaWonderful!! Villa Astoria was fantastic to stay at. It suited exactly what I wanted and needed for my stay in Taormina. The location was perfect as it was outside of the tourist rich centre of Taormina giving some rest from the throngs of other tourists. Plus it was across from the bus station making it ideal for transport and a meeting point for tours. The room was excellent. The view. That view looking over the coastline. So good! I was so pleased with the standard of the breakfast as there were so many options both savoury and sweet. It was excellent and the breakfast dining room overlooked that incredible view. I could not speak more highly of the staff who made my stay so warm and welcome. Don’t hesitate. Book now!
