Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

Lovely small hotel a short walk from Taormina town centre. We booked a room with a balcony and sea view which is a must do as the view is fantastic. The room was clean, quiet, roomy and the hotel is conveniently located just a short walk to town. The staff were all friendly and helpful, with some excellent recommendations for local restaurants. Also easy to get to Etna from here if you have your own car, just an hour drive - be sure to book a car park space at the hotel in advance.

United Arab EmiratesThe walls are thin. I had to ask the people next door to stop playing video games by 10PM, but they were kind and did just that, so all was good.
The view from the room was incredible at sunrise. I kept my window open all evening and enjoyed the sunrise view with the birds waking me up. It was close enough to walk into town and get groceries - right across from a bus station. Nearby are also stairs down to a beach. It was lovely to do as a morning workout.

United KingdomWhile it’s possible to buy drinks from the Reception there is no separate bar or pool to relax in.
location is fantastic, with amazing sea views. The hotel is on the quieter side of town - so although within 10 mins walk of the action it’s easy to leave the crowds behind. Gated Private parking in their grounds in front of hotel meant there were no security worries. The included breakfast was plentiful varied and good.

United States of AmericaThere isn’t any access to a tea kettle or coffee maker. You can buy a capuchino for 3.50 € and other drinks but nothing is complimentary.
The Staff is friendly, and the stay was comfortable. The 20 euro daily parking on site is helpful. The breakfast included scrambled eggs, bacon, fresh OJ, cheese, lunch meat and many breads and pastries. It is quiet with a great ocean view and a small but lovely outside dining area. The room is adequate, simple and fine for 2 people. There is a bus station across the street and the main walking street is very accessible. Lots of ATM. Machine are close by, as well.

FranceThe room wasn't super charming in itself, but the view and the balcony more than make up for it!
Great value for money in Taormina, and an exceptional view! The location is great, it's slightly outside the centre, making it more accessible by car or bus, but still minutes from everything in town. Super close to the Belvedere and the steps to the beach as well. Very helpful staff as well!

TurkeyThe rooms are nice little small but that was already in the description.
Villa Astoria was a very decent place to stay. We booked a room with a view and it was fantastic to wake up with this view. It also had a little balcony that we enjoyed a lot in the mornings especially having our caffe. It was clean. very close to to bus station so we did not have to walk to travel. It is a few hundred meters walk to the center. It was quiet and nice. Staff was very helpful.

NetherlandsFall in love with Taormina with your base at Villa Astoria. The view from our bedroom was gorgeous. Access to the beach was very easy with the cable cars (€10 return Taormina - Mazzarò). We reserved parking on the premises which was very convenient. Parking in town is not at all easy, so this was very helpful. Walking to the old town was fast and there are many beautiful stores to visit. Hidden bars and restaurants sprinkled all over town. And of course you can walk past the White Lotus hotel. Maybe you'll spot the ghost of Tanya McQuoid in her Miss Piggy outfit.

The view from our room (24) was spectacular. This small hotel is a gem with very helpful staff, a beautiful courtyard that comes with a friendly dog and our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast included the usual pastries plus eggs, yogurts, bacon and fruit. Coffee was delicious and made as ordered. The hotel is across the street from the bus station and well located within Taormina.

Close to the cable car, so easy to go down for a swim, a short, easy walk into the old town. Being directly across the road from the bus station makes it easy to get to other places.
