How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

This was a really lovely Agriturismo. Surrounded by vineyards but close to Alba. Great wine and a nice tour. Beautiful property and house and a well appointed breakfast. The family who runs the hotel is very kind and happy to help with any planning, which we made great use of!

The breakfast was very good, but the method of pre-order is quirky and leaves little scope for a spontaneous change of mind!
Fantastic location in the midst of the vineyards but just a short distance to Alba and the beauty of Piemonte. Excellent and very helpful staff, helping us find and book brilliant local restaurants each evening... and great wine!

They need to confirm the GPS coordinates on the Booking.com site as the location on the map is incorrect.
The breakfast was included each morning and was perfect to start the day. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and gave great advice on the restaurants in the surrounding areas. We had a car so went and saw as much of the nearby towns of Nieve, Barolo, Alba and Barbaresco as possible. The rooms were quiet and very comfortable.

A restaurant on site.
It is remote but with Ways and coordinates is OK to arrive. The place and the surronding are wonderfull. The owner , his sister and the staff are amazing welcoming and friendly. It is clean and neet. Breakfest and the veranda where it is seved is wanderfull. The area is quite full with vineyards and beutifull. Is a pitty that they do not serve diner.

Everything was great; Internet was a little slow but you have to remember this is the countryside
Location is on a farm, so it is in the country. Small winding road to reach the place. Very quiet and very nice place; in a working vineyard. Breakfasts were excellent and plentiful.

I hope they expand their operation to include lunch or dinner because their dining areas and produce were amazing!
Absolutely everything! The accommodation is in such a scenic area and close to Alba town, the staff are incredibly helpful and will help organise tours and restaurant bookings, and the wine from the vineyard is delicious! I'll be recommending Cascina Barac to everyone I know!

This property exceeded our expectations on all levels! For our first trip to the Alba region of northern Italy, we didn’t know what to expect. This is a very welcoming and comfortable property tucked away in the rolling hills of Piedmont. Alba is about six miles away and a wonderful day trip. Large rooms here, friendly service and a great vineyard tour. Breakfasts are magnificent. We would return in a heartbeat. Excellent restaurants are close by!
