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.).

SerbiaOur room didn’t have any basic kitchen utensils like a fork/knife/plate. It’s not the type of room to cook of course, but you cannot have a quick small meal.
We absolutely loved this estate!! It has a huge beautiful garden and chill area around the pool. There are a lot of spaces outside to enjoy even if the property is fully booked. You can always feel secluded and cozy. It was super clean, they clean every day and it smells lovely. Beautiful view over St Gimignano and easily accessed by your car. It has a very good parking lot for guests. The staff is great and very pleasant. The WiFi is quite great for the location. They are offering breakfast, locally made from the owner’s bakery, it was very nice to try but a bit expensive.

Everything about our stay was perfect- the friendliness of Barbara and Sylvia was unmatched and they fulfilled every request we made with a smile (I have a gluten allergy and they were able to make multiple reservations at safe restaurants for me)!! Our weekend was so lovely from start to finish. Breakfast was impeccable, everything was clean, and we felt so welcomed. I hope to be back as soon as possible. The most perfect weekend. Thank you Sylvia and Barbara for everything!

The host Barbara and the whole team are amazing, friendly and helpful, with insightful recommendations on food, wineries… The property is situated in a very calm and peaceful location, and yet has an amazing view over the historic San Gimignano town. Our room was charming, with a nice private patio, very clean and cosy. Breakfast was divine, prepared from the freshest local produce and Barbara’s bakery items are a must try. Mostly it was a wonderful experience and surely hope to be back someday.

A traditional, delicious Italian breakfast each morning and chatting with other guests was wonderful. Spotlessly clean. If I'm ever back in Italy, I'm definitely coming back to Barbara's!

Peaceful Location and the view up to San Gimignano was beautiful. Our room was decorated beautifully, bed comfortable and linen lovely to sleep in. The stand out was the selection for breakfast and attentiveness of all the staff. Barbara was so friendly and helpful with suggestions of places to see and nearby restaurants and helped us with reservations. Great place to base yourself for day trips to many areas in Tuscany.

United StatesThis has a gorgeous view across vineyards and the valley over to the village of San Gimignano. The room was spectacular in that it was decorated to match the history of the place and it was peaceful and we could hear lots of nature at night. The pool was a beautiful blue and very wonderful to swim in. The breakfast was outstanding because Barb shares her wonderful pastries from her bakery and the view from the outdoor patio was wonderful---including an olive tree orchard and bird of paradise flowers and geraniums. Barb and Irina were so fun and energetic----the coolest thing was they dealt with getting our trip laundry done by someone in town, gave good dinner recommendations when we were too tired to search the internet. Wonderful place and the bestest people!
