to one's liking
Suited to taste
To one's liking describes something that suits a person's tastes or preferences.
The phrase typically follows a form of "be": The hotel was to her liking.
It often appears with modifiers: not to my liking, more to his liking, entirely to their liking.
The construction sounds slightly formal; in casual speech, people might simply say they like or don't like something.
