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 are 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 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 was a bit disappointed in the room. It was basic and not what I expected from photographs. There was an overpowering smell of disinfectant each day. I thought it was a bit over priced compared with other places we have stayed.
The property was located in a beautiful spot with wonderful views. Close proximity to San Giminano. Breakfast was very enjoyable and freshly made. Staff were vibrant and friendly

We absolutely loved the stunning view from the place we stayed at. Paula and her husband were outstanding hosts, making our 2-day trip relaxing and comfortable. Paula's cooking was absolutely delicious and we couldn't resist savoring every last bite. The wine recommended by our hosts was also fantastic. Our entire family was warmly welcomed and taken care of by Paula and her husband. We can't wait to visit again soon!

United StatesNo downsides... ! I had a great stay. The only negative was the weather and they absolutely have no control over that. :) Thanks for a fabulous trip!
Paolo and Ledo (or Leto, apologies for not knowing the spelling) were just the best. Besides being a really beautiful and historic property, they went out of their way to help in any and every way possible. I couldn't say more positive things about them and the property.

GermanyA beautiful accommodation with very nice hosts who immediately make you feel at home. The rooms are very tastefully decorated and very clean. The breakfast is exceptionally good. It is a mixture of buffet and dishes lovingly prepared by the hosts that are served at the table. Many thanks to Paola and her business partner (whose name I have unfortunately forgotten, sorry!). All the best, Jens

Amazing breakfast, Paola and her husband were really kind and provided us with all the information we needed. The accommodation is located within a 20 min walk to San Gimignano but if you prefer not to walk the bus stop is in front of the building. A dream location with swimming pool in very nice surroundings.

United KingdomThe pool space was small but not too many using it whilst we were there so Ok. The water - Brisk but lovely after a hot day exploring
A Lovely Boutique hotel so convenient for exploring the area. Easy Access to San Gimignano walking or shuttle bus and back to the peace and quiet of the hotel. The room was a lovely modern large space with a small outside space for a table and chairs. There are outside spaces for breakfast and by the pool. Fabulous breakfasts and great service from the staff who create a very welcoming atmosphere.

United Arab EmiratesWas an unplanned trip so had to book last minute which was a bit expy, but its tourist season so cant complain.
if your staying at San Gimignano or want a taste of Tuscany, I'd recommend Casale Gregoriano. Its about 1km away from the Fort - so if your mobile its brilliant, its about a 15 min brisk walk to the central town area. Paola was an amazing hostess, we got in late (after 8pm) and she accommodated us. The room was fully functional with acs - also had a pool. Get up in the morning to a view that would make you smile, breakfast by our young hostess was ... amazing - great food with a view! most importantly - great coffee! And if your visiting - check out Gelateria Dondoli - best gelato I've ever had! And if you have time, I could see the hot air balloons at dawn - must've been an even more amazing experience!

United KingdomWe loved everything about the stay. The breakfast was exceptional, the views from the property were amazing and it was in a great location. There was a shuttle bus into San Gimignano which was perfect for visiting the town and for going for an evening meal. Paola and Gregorio were really friendly and gave us a lot of really good recommendations. Finally, if you go, we’d really recommend opting to have an evening meal (or two) at the property because the food is delicious!
