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.).

United StatesNothing major - the shower was a little small and the breakfast could have had a better selection of fruits, but overall only insignificant critiques. We enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed the bar and terrace. The location was also pretty good - it was easy to get to and parking was also relatively easy which is a big deal in Siena. Convenient to all major attractions. The staff was also very helpful and friendly - in particular Claudio and Halim. They made us feel welcomed and more at home away from home.

Lovely drive to a nice hotel within the city walls. We were upgraded to a bigger room which was very comfortable and spacious for 2 of us. The reception was helpful to make reservation at a restaurant for us and provided umbrellas when it rained. Also helped to park our car within the hotel compounds.

SwitzerlandThat our holidays ended and couldn't stay more!
What an amazing discovery this hotel! Perfect location to walk around Siena and with a free parking which is rare for Italy. The family room was big and cozy and the cleaning was immaculate! One night we tried the restaurant and while it didn't have reviews, we can attest that it was delicious, lovely presented and with a lovely wine selection. The bonus of this hotel is their staff. From the reception, the waiters at the breakfast and dinner everyone has the right attitude, very polite, helpful and attentive to the last detail. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay by 1 night. Our small kids were also attended to, every day there was something given to them during breakfast and they always had an adaptable chair for the youngest. Lastly, I lost an earring in the sink and they had a technician come and find it within an hour. We travel a lot as a family of 4 in various countries and hotels like this one really make the difference in hospitality. Keep it up!

United StatesGreat location, easy walk into town. Great that they have free car parking as well! The beds were comfortable, the balcony was nice to watch the sunset and the staff were so warm and lovely. The breakfast buffet was great, lots of options. The hotel was really nice and quiet, we didn’t hear a single other guest when we were in our room.

GermanyThis is a very classy, traditional hotel in Siena's old town. The staff was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. My single room was clean and the bathroom newly decorated. My dog and I loved the basket / bed placed in the room for her - what a nice gesture!!! Breakfast downstairs was great with a fabulous selection of foods, especially the honey (in the comb), cornetti and cakes ... Up the street and around a corner is a great local restaurant run by a "nonna" with excellent food. For this proximity alone, I would return.

The staff is very helpful, thanks a lot, specially when I needed a needle. They provided the best liquid soap and shampoo I've ever used, what an amazing olive fragance! In my mind, that smell always will make me remember of Siena, thank you so much. The hotel is very nice, I'd like so much to come back.
