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 StatesSooo many mosquitos at the pool that we had to lay out with our towels covering us! The pool water was very cold in beginning of September- some sort of heating would be great. The biggest problem for me was the lighting - the photos were definitely edited brighter and the apartment itself was dark like a cave even during the brightest time of day. That was very disappointing and I felt catfished the first two days since I took extra care reviewing countless properties to try to find the perfect place for us. No sunlight inside. Eventually, I got over it and appreciated the apt for what it was - a very old restored farmhouse with rustic charm. Other problems: -no restaurant / food on site. Nothing in walking distance - you need a car rental and grocery shopping. -staff could have been a bit more friendly/ accommodating. -impossible to get a car for hire for wine tastings etc. - drivers not really available in the area. If you do get someone, expect to pay. -several families staying with kids very loudly playing in the pool all day. We escaped to Tuscany for peace and the silence of the hills...considering finding an "adults only" place next time. -we were on the top floor so no outside seating / patio for us. -most of the pool chairs were broken...but still worked and mostly comfortable -laundry area is in a basement by the pool, dark, spider webby. IMPOSSIBLE with all the mosquitos thriving down there - I couldn't even go do laundry. Other guests did utilize it, for me wasn't worth it. Bought detergent and hand washed my clothes in my bathtub. -not fully cleaned before we got there? dishes in dishwasher, etc. -they expect you to clean up and take out trash like airbnb style. Thought this was a 4-star stay? Not one cleaning service during a week stay or any hotel amenities. Ultimately - the trip we envisioned was not the trip we got- but it still stands out as a beautiful week from our travels, and glad we had the experience!
We had to collect the keys from a neighboring property about a half mile away, which was annoying, but not too out of the way. It was a big, beautiful fancy villa. Then we went to the one where we were staying ha, and wondered if we could switch to the first. However- the view from the pool was idyllic - the pool itself big and beautiful. The bathrooms were gorgeous, esp. the one with a window. Loved the old tubs. The mosquito screens on the apt windows were necessary. I loved the charm of Tuscany, and the olive fields nearby. There's a free parking lot for the rental car you'll need. -general areas for seating were available around the property (but cushion-less metal chairs/ benches) -provided a welcome bottle of wine for us, that was nice -the linens were monogrammed nicely and presented well -great big rectangular sun umbrellas to fit over two pool chairs -some basic kitchen items provided so you can cook I think if your expectations are in the right place, you will be happy with this property.

United StatesThe air conditioner are two mobile units that are very noisy and we could not leave them on over night. Also, to arrive at the property one needs to drive on a dirty road , about 1.2km long, poorly maintained, somewhat difficult to drive .
The property is a nicely built collection of apartments. The units are two floors , large, with kitchen , one and half baths , living room, master suite with bath and outside space to sit and enjoy the view.The units have dishwasher and the hotel has washer and drier . Beautiful property.

SwitzerlandIt did not bother me, but the building is old and some bugs, spiders and mosquitos are to be expected. There is a coffee machine and pods are available, but they cost 0.50 euros each (it is not a surprise, it is clearly written in the room). A grill is available but it comes without wood/charcoal and it is not possible to buy it at the reception, one needs to buy it at the grocery store. It is a bit annoying to buy a whole bag just to grill once. These observations did not really changed my vacation, but I didn't see them in other reviews and I think that some customers might find them useful.
Giant apartment on two floors, one with kitchen and living room, one with bedroom. Two toilets. The kitchen is very well equipped (plates, bowls, microwave, oven, kettle, ...) and spacious, the fridge is also a standard-size one. The location is amazing, very quiet, in the middle of vineyards and there are some paths to explore the property by foot. We didn't use the pool that much because of the bad weather but it is really nice. In the garden with view on the hills surrounding the property. The parking is not far from the apartments, but one can drive basically to the door to drop things off. Even though the apartment is really nice to chill, the Podere san Filippos is conveniently placed to visit the surrounding region by car: Panzano, Castellina and Greve are less than 30min away, Firenze less than 1h.

BelgiumNo air conditioning in main area. We were in a major heatwave and was hot in main area. Air Conditioners worked well in the bedrooms, but they are noisy. I think a bit more can be done to add some privacy between the outdoor areas of the different units, eg an extra plant etc. For the pool, at first they said we could only use the pool 2 hrs a day, but that was changed, was very happy it was, otherwise that would have been an inconvenience. During our stay, we had very minimal to almost no interaction with the staff.
The location is ideal, really in the heart of Tuscany and (half) day trips very nearby. Property is beautiful, our unit was great. The pool was great! Lots of space for the kids to run around, options to eat outdoors etc. The apartment was also very large - very beautiful!

BelgiumThe pool rules were too strict. You had to reserve and no other times at the pool could be booked while there was enough space. Umbrellas were strictly closed at 6 pm while people were still sitting under it. It was a general topic at the pool and a frustration of many guests.
Everything else was great. Nice big rooms, good location with splendid view. Clean. Bottle of wine was appreciated.
