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.).

MontenegroEverything was super. Maybe reduce the breakfast price a little bit. :)
Everything! Complete positive impact on my vacation and 10/10 experience. It is a super chill and romantic place to have a vacation away from the city and enjoy Tuscany. Special regards to the kind staff, especially to Roberto, Carlotta, and Laura, and to the house cat, Misco. The restaurant has awesome food with a chill vibe and a good selection of wine. The pool is also very nice. The rooms are nice with comfortable beds. The location is good, close to the main road and not much drive away from main towns and Florence. Definitely coming back here!

ArgentinaThe possibility to stay on an actual castle is not something you see every day. The place is incredible, located on top of a Tuscan hill with amazing views and surroundings. The rooms are huge but super cozy, with a great bathroom with jacuzzi and a Scottish shower as well as a regular one. The staff was super nice specially Laura who gave us extremely helpful information regarding the surroundings and best routes to continue our trip by car. The bistro is excellent with a great ambience and service. Would definitively recommend staying here.

North MacedoniaThe most amazing place! The room, the view, the hospitality was one of the best that we've ever experienced. The staff, Mrs. Carlota that greeted us and showed us the place, was an amazing woman. So nice, welcoming and friendly. The place is so so beautiful, so quiet. It feels so calming to your soul and safe. The castle is amazing. Beautiful room, clean, beautiful pool and view. Also the food, breakfast was so tasty and fresh. The waiters as well were very hosting. Also thank you to Mrs. Laura, who together with Mrs. Carlota and the team, helped me plan my proposal to my girlfriend which turned out so so , beautiful and romantic. Also thank you to Mrs. Laura for capturing the amazing moment. Thankful to both of them for arranging the romantic spot, the bouquet and the candle. Many thanks to them and also to the waiter that recently joined their team (apologies for not knowing the name) for his unwavering friendliness and generosity. All of it, was a trip that will be in our memories and we can't wait to be back and hope very much to see the same people again since they were really incredible people. Thank you to everyone and also to the owners/managers of the castle that we haven't met, for having such an incredible place and staff. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The impressive historical architecture, paired with the breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness created a picturesque dream-like landscape that allows your brain to wonder and make your soul feel at utmost peace. The room itself was grand and felt extremely luxurious. The mattress itself was the best we've ever slept on.

Beautiful castle and really lovely staff who made me feel very welcome and well looked after. My room was really big, well equipped, comfortable and smelled great which added to the atmosphere. I had a wonderful time catching some sun by the pool and enjoyed a very peaceful stay. I'd be back without a doubt and only wish I could've stayed longer this time!

United KingdomOur stay was wonderful from start to finish. The room was incredibly large, super clean and very cool for the summer with multiple aircons. The entire property itself is tucked away in the hills, with incredible surrounding and the entire castle itself is different and special. Lots of history and character to it. We loved it. The manager and staff were super helpful, as we arrived really late at night. Everything was ready for us and we checked in virtually by sending over our details so we had access to our beautiful room when we arrived. The following day we had a car rental and wine tasting all sorted for us immediately- so this was a super smooth and relaxing stay. Lastly the food for breakfast was just right and delicious and do was the dinner service.

NetherlandsThe only thing I can think of is that the shower if our Deluxe Suite was a little small (compared to the huge size of the rest of the room). We are both tall so it was a bit tight. But that it it!
Very well kept despite its size with extremely friendly staff and the amazing Carlotta to welcome us!
