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 StatesI can’t think of anything we didn’t like!
This property was so ideal! It was within the fortress gates just a few steps from the shopping strip but down an alleyway so you also felt removed from it. The locations was absolute perfect, the suite very clean and SO unique - a perfect mix of old mixed with all the modern necessities you’re used to. The host, Marco, made it very easy and was always a text away if needed. The included breakfast was a short walk away and was so lovely that we ended up booking dinner reservations multiple nights during our stay. I would absolutely stay here again!

AustraliaThe apartment we stayed in is designed more for couples getting away for a short escape. There are no kitchen/cooking, microwave, washing facilities for those that are travelling or want to stay for longer periods. To be fair to our hosts, this apartment was not designed for this. La Corte Secreta do have an apartment with kitchen etc that would suit extended stays - it just wasn't available when I booked.
Absolutely the most beautifully designed apartment set in the historic centre - so great location. The bed was quite comfortable and the room was very spacious. The host who live upstairs with their 3 children were also very helpful and friendly. It is a great place for a couple getting away for the weekend. We also loved the little turtles in the courtyard garden. We ate at some great restaurants, toured the historic places and visited the museum and did a wine tasting during our 3 days. Our accommodation came with breakfast vouchers at a great Cafe where we sat outside each morning in a small verandah with great views over the countryside and met new people each day.

Apartment is modern, spacious, well furnished and the location is perfect. It is in the city centre while being close to two parking areas (one in ZTL where you are allowed to enter after 8pm). Host was very friendly and left us with many useful tips regarding places to visit. Much appreciated!

Switzerlandnothing to complain
except in corona times we are traveling frequently and we are always striving for a very special accommodation, We cab say, this was the best we ever had. La corte segreta was something extraordinary, designed with passion by Marco and Laura our host. We travelled with a Fiat 500 and it was no problem for parking, not sure if it works also so smoothly with a big car. The breakfast was in an old caffe with a spectacular view.

CanadaWe felt a bit misled by the beautiful photos of the property. There are two units at the location and the owner lives above. Our unit was the smaller unit, a room with double bed described as rustic decor with a garden view. I have posted a photo of the garden view. The foreground is littered in pet poop. The other main complaint was the state of the shower floor which is pretty grim with black mould. See 2nd posted image.
Great central and quiet location. Paid parking garage a block away. Nicely outfitted bathroom. Decent bed and linens.

United StatesThe first challenge is that the door to the apartment doesn't actually close or lock. Although the door to the building locks and I was the only guest during the stay, it is odd to have to keep chairs in front of the door to keep the apartment door closed. The host was out of town and sent a friend to take a look but he agreed the host should fix the issue. Additionally mid-way through my week-long stay, the host asked me to pay full in cash for the property. I thought this was odd as one usually pays at the end of a stay and not in the middle. Also, it is not really clear on booking.com that you need to pay in cash at the property and it is a considerable amount of money to get from an ATM. It would be good if that policy can be in bold when you book the reservations. Given that I stayed in a few apartments while I was in Montepulciano that I felt were better managed, I probably wouldn't return here.
The location of this apartment is great for a stay in Montepulciano and has a wonderful view.
