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.).

New ZealandSuch an amazing place to stay. The backdrop of the Tuscan hills is beautiful. Elbio and Fernanda couldn’t have been any nicer and more helpful as hosts. We were greeted with a hello in our native language in NZ which was a nice surprise. The fresh breakfast each morning was immaculate. The dinners prepared at the agriturismo were heaven. Would highly recommend the Fiorentina steak. Easy drive to some beautiful towns nearby too. Could not recommend this place enough. Kia Ora!

United StatesWe loved everything about this villa.
The location was absolutely stunning! The proprietors were beyond amazing and helped us with our every need. The rooms were very roomy and had breathtaking views. The meals were perfect and made with love. We had delicious breakfasts and dinners. So authentic and satisfying. The owners were warm and genuine. We felt an actual sense of loss as we had to leave.

United StatesThe ONLY thing that could have made this stay more comfortable was a fan in the bedroom. Otherwise, everything was fantastic!
There are not enough positive adjectives to describe Elbio and Fernanda. We spent three nights at their bnb and they helped us out months in advance with suggestions for wineries (do not miss the very different La Nascasta), restaurants, cooking classes and any and everything in between! My wife and I were seriously contemplating quitting our jobs and cleaning rooms for them so we didn’t have to leave! The food, views, conversation, and star gazing were all world class!!

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights in early September. This was by far the highlight of our holiday in Italy. The owners Elbio and Fernanda are so kind and welcoming, and Elbio was very helpful answering any and all of our questions during our stay. We enjoyed dinner at the restaurant on-site on three occasions. We spent hours reading on the sun lounges next to the beautiful pool, the room was spacious and clean, and the overall vibe was very peaceful and relaxing. We drove to explore nearby towns most days, but always enjoyed arriving “home” to the Agriturismo.

UkraineAmazing owners, amazing facilities. The beauty of the view is breathtaking. The room was spotless, spacious, and very well taken care of. Me and my partner created some troubles for the owners (broke amaca and a couple of dishes), and the first reaction we received from the owners whether we are okay ? how kind?! no frustration, very peaceful approach towards life, that allowed us to resolve the situation in the best possible manner. Food was amazing !!! Meat empanadas and the banana cake - something worth dying for. I also saw people eating hamburger with such a joy :D You see and feel that the owners really care about what they do, deeply and sincerely. This is a rare thing to witness, I respect it enormously! Every detail, every little thing is thought through. Also, the owners are so helpful! The shops, restaurants, parking. They are always there to help you. I definitely recommend the place, and I wish the best of luck to these amazing people!

SloveniaThe menu for dinner is the same through out one week, so we were sorry we couldn't try more different food from the hands of Fernanda, who is otherwise a great cook.
Elbio and Fernanda are great hosts. The food was amazing, breakfast was a little bit different every day with a lot of local products. You must also have dinner there at least once, you won't be sorry, we absolutely loved the burrata salad. The place is a great starting point to explore different places around Tuscany, and also in a very tranquil place surrounded with nature where you can relax and just recharge your batteries.

Germany- little flexibility outside the rules e.g. dinner needs to be pre-ordered before 15h // check-out at 11h & you have to leave the place by 12h , not allowed to use the pool longer than that even if late check in at day of arrival

Amazing, fresh breakfast on our patio every morning - and evening dinners always special (with great recommendations from Elbio).

Fernanda made amazing, fresh breakfast every morning with different fruit and freshly-baked pastries (hands down, the best breakfasts of our multi-city Italy trip).

Elbio and Fernanda are very welcoming hosts who made our stay unforgettable. Every day there are homemade sweet and savoury delicacies for breakfast, including freshly baked cakes, croissant, bread and local jams and fruits.
