Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThis is not a criticism but just something to be aware of. The Satnav address according to Booking.com is wrong. You will end up driving down some incredible narrow and steep roads. Not ideal in a rental car. The host did send information but I didn't realise that the reason she sent the information was because the address supplied is wrong. So worth noting. Parking can be an issue. There is free parking on the main road but during peak season it's lucky to get a parking spot during the day. We figured out very quickly to return from wherever we are visiting after 6pm, to ensure that we could get a spot. Alternatively there is paid parking areas but it's very expensive.
It's a gorgeous apartment, in a stunning area. Everything that you need is there. The hosts are attentive and communicative. My partner and I were delighted and felt very comfortable immediately. We couldn't fault the apartment.

United KingdomLuisa was excellent - very easy to communicate with and very responsive. Beach towels were provided along with coffee and some other small touches. The apartment is a good size and the facilities (especially the shower) are good. The location is perfect. Very close to two beaches and very close to the cable car to Taormina town or the stairs to walk up. There are some restaurants nearby and some mini markets. Our stay at Salu made this a very special trip for us.

RomaniaThe flat is very beautiful with parts of the original stone, located right near the beach with a lot of nice restaurants nearby. The host was very nice, welcoming with wine and other suits and allowed us to check in earlier. Also very helpful for us she parked her car nearby and let us take the place. It was very important since the parking there may be hectic.

ItalyThe only drawback is: for sensitive sleepers, there are unexpected noises. Some motorcycles will be super loud in the early/late day. Also during my stay, around 5:15-5:30am, there is a weird slapping noise from outside. Nothing bad in the room itself.
Luisa waited us and took a parking spot with her own car so we could park. She is very thoughtful and detail-oriented host. The apartment located right on the top of isola Bella. Very clean room with everything that you need. I told Luisa, with prepared slippers in the room, she also defeated 90% competitors. Also the downstairs cafe and restaurant are also very good, very good deal to stay in Salu.

Everything was perfect. The Host (Lucia) is very kind and friendly. She took us from the Train station and bring to the apartment which I didnt calculated. This was brilliant for us. If you want to go to the beach , you can not find a better location. The stairs to beach is just 20m from the apartment. There is a lot of markets, shops, restorants near the apartment. The Apartment is very well decorated and was very clean. If I come again, I would like to book here again.

AustraliaCan’t recommend this place enough! Conveniently located practically at the steps of Isola Bella Beach with the stairs to Taormina to the side of the accommodation, there were plenty of convenience stores and restaurants to choose from with the cable cart up to Taormina 1 minute away from the stay. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and our host was kind enough to fetch us from the train station and provide us with a welcome bottle of wine, slippers, beach towels and an umbrella as well as all the necessary items needed to have a comfortable stay. As soon as I would message the response time was almost automatic and we were provided with a booklet detailing all transportation and tourism information - thanks again!

United KingdomNo view and not much sunlight in the studio. We had a lovely stay anyway as these were not important for us.
Excellent location, with easy access to Isola Bella and right on the stairs route to Taormina. Very clean, with everything you need in the studio. Lots of storage space, the place is new and has lovely details. Bathroom is clean with new fixtures and has everything you might need (including good quality toilet paper which is not that common at this price range). The host is lovely, very helpful and nice, she offered to pick us up from the station as it was a rainy day.
