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.).

A wonderful place with well appointed rooms, a beautiful garden and a breathtaking view. The two sisters who run the place are amazing hostesses. We had a most enchanting stay at Relais Farinati and will make this place a regular.

UkraineThis hotel is absolutely exceptional! From the moment you drive in you know you are in for a treat, and the treat it was! The interior, the breathtaking views, all the little touches, we had dinner with a good wine at the restaurant, we chatted with two brilliant sisters-owners and enjoyed the company of their dogs. The hotel exceeded all the expectations

NorwayAfter some days in Lucca city we were excited to go up in the hills to Relais Farinati. Two sisters run the place with their 3 dogs and cat. It’s a 25 min drive from Lucca on a narrow road the last bit but it’s so worth it! Amazing view that never ceases to impress. After some coffee with cookies for breakfast in the city we were so glad to see a real breakfast with eggs, bread (even glutenfree), yoghurt, fruits and so on. The dinner was really nice with new menu every day, and they always found options for miss glutenfree. They make everything themselves and have local wine. Nice rooms with a view, fridge, AC etc. the pool was great, the house is stunning, nice walks uphill/downhill, and you can visit vineyards just down the road. We loved it here and will return for sure. Thanks to the sisters, the lovely dogs and cat <3

GermanyMosquitoes. The staff do their level best in an attempt to help keep these pesky insects at bay ... but in the warmer months they will definitely make their presence known. The final 3km uphill drive to the villa appears in many critiques as an issue ... yeah, it's narrow and winding but if you are a reasonably competent driver; it's not the show-stopper many would have you believe.
We relished our 4 day stay. We've stayed in many hotels, pensions, and bed & breakfasts; and house Farinati is way-y-y up top with the very few best of them all. Understated elegance, classic Tuscan ambiance, a comfortable room, delightful terrace for delicious meals and refreshments with a panoramic view and a superior staff made our stay fly by way too quickly. This secret gem met and exceeded our holiday hotel expectations in every way.

United KingdomI would have liked to have the option to have ordinary tea with milk in our room.
The setting is marvellous, and the rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. We loved having breakfast and supper on the patio enjoying the view of the olive groves and the Tuscan hills. The food was excellent. Solange and Sibilla are delightful and made us feel very welcome.

United KingdomThe reason we chose this accommodation was the many reviews saying it was a peaceful, tranquil and relaxing place to stay. Sadly due to the inconsiderate noisy behaviour of a few other guests, this was spoiled for us and for others. I'm not sure what the owners can do about this when it happens, but maybe a low voice reminder note in the rooms or in the common areas. One night it started about 7pm and got louder and louder until about 11pm. Then began again at breakfast the next day! It might be a good Idea if the owners included in their pre visit information messages the need for guests to bring insect repellent. The outside dining area was regularly sprayed so they are aware of the problem with biting insects. We sat outside in the gardens in the evening before dinner and we were both very badly bitten.
Beautiful property, decorated with charm and style. Stunning main lounge / reception. Comfortable bed, great bathroom and shower. Friendly hosts and staff. The layout of tables for dining, both at breakfast and dinner was perfect and made full use of the lovely views. Close to the charming old town of Lucca.

Czech RepublicThere is truly nothing to say.
Relais Farinati is the place where the hospitality gets back its originally meaning. You would enjoy many things when staying there, feeling good that someone is truly caring about you, marvellous view, delicious meals served in the evening on the terrace overlooking the valley, owners attention to every little details in refurbishments, decoration. In one word, harmony at its best. Remember this when you will stay by the window in the spacious reception room / library in the front of the writing table thinking that this is the place where you can attempt to write another masterpiece of European literature.
