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.).

AustraliaI had an incredible stay at Villa Chiara in Taormina. From the moment I arrived, Chiara went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She is truly amazing—warm, welcoming, and exceptionally helpful at every turn. Whether it was offering local tips, helping with logistics, or simply checking in to make sure I had everything I needed, Chiara’s hospitality made all the difference. The villa itself is charming, well-located, and comfortable, but it’s Chiara who makes it truly special. Highly recommend staying here—your Taormina experience will be all the better for it!

AustraliaWe would have loved a second pillow each
Service was amazing. Chiara and her daughter were so kind, helpful and so prompt in their response to our requests for help - from organising valet parking and restaurant recommendations. Instructions for check in were also very clear. The villa is located in the best location, close to the Taormina centre with the restaurants, the cable car down to the beaches in easy walking distance. Both Chiara and Francesca made our one day stay in Taormina so comfortable and stress free.

This was an amazing experience to be in Villa Chiara , after being a week in Sicília , i can say it was actually the Best Room i stayed in all different cities. It was super well decorated, renovated, modern, charming, very confortable with good materials and with all we needed. It is inside the historical center but without the Madness of people on central streets, it takes you two.minutes to BE on the main street. And you do not even hear a thing. Absolutely quiet. Chiara and her Daughter were amazing helpful providing us with all information we needed super proactive, and the cleaning lady and the boys who helped with Park of the car also super Nice. THANK YOU. Will totally Stay here again

RomaniaThere was nothing that didn't meet our expectations.
If you are looking for a quiet but central accommodation, Villa Chiara is the best option. Nice room with big bathroom and a friendly personnel. Chiara is a wonderful host but, more than that, she is a wonderful person. She provided information about area and restaurants, activities and guided our check-in process. Regarding the checkout, she helped us with a late checkout since our plane was taking off in the evening and my pregnant wife needed a place to rest. I would definitely recommend the location and I'm positive I'll check in again the next time I'll visit Taormina. Thank you for everything Chiara!

United StatesIn Taormina, even more than many Sicilian cities, parking is a huge issue. Basically, you can't. And even finding a way to get your luggage to your hotel in this cliffside town is a worry. That's one of the ways in which Sra Ciara, the owner, shone. We began a WhatsApp text dialog when we were far away. Like having a private air traffic controller, she gav us the exact spot where her colleague would meet us, take the car for overnight parking (reasonable fee) and help with the baggage. What we didn't know is that Chiara herself would meet us to help with baggage and the final route to her place. On top of that, since we were both celebrating our 25th anniversary and my wife's birthday, she gave us a special room for our three night stay. But that's not all. For our semi-planned trip north 40 km to Messina and ferry across to Calabria to see a special museum exhibition, she wisely advised us not to try to park near the regular ferry but to simply take the car with us on a different ferry. It was easier and less expensive than parking, fares and taxis at the other end. But that's not all. Of the several restaurants she recommended, each was a gem: Osteria Sapori di Mari, Gourmet 32 and, best of all, Osteria Zuccaro. Finally, Chiara was such as sweet and genial person, we felt like family. If you're going to Taormina, especially with a car, do stay at Villa Chara!

United KingdomNothing - everything was great.
This is the best place I’ve stayed in in all my travels due to a combination of the host, Chiara, being an absolutely wonderful host & guide, as well as the rooms being spotless & comfortable. Chiara is such a lovely and genuinely hospitable person, you can tell she loves what she does. She gave excellent recommendations for food & drink and when we wanted to stay another night but was told she was sadly fully booked, she recommended another place nearby to stay which was also nice & clean. A good host by itself won’t be enough though, & thankfully the accommodation was equally good. The facilities were modern (I think from reading reviews that some apartments in Taormina can be a bit dated & plumbing might not be as good, but we had no such issues here), the bed was super comfy. We arrived off the overnight train from Rome so were really tired - the shutters properly blocked out light so we could nap in the day time. We would heartily recommend Villa Chiara and will happily come back to stay.
