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 StatesUnfortunately the room doesn't provide any thing for guests to make hot water or tea, you can ask the owner for a cup of hot water or tea though.
Beautiful farmer house. Delicious home made breakfast, which is better than most hotels. Very nice hospitality by the owner.

AustraliaThe reception was a bit tricky to find and we were greeted rather coldly for having driven on a private road, which our GPS unfortunately took us on. We were staying at the ground level, which meant it didn't feel very private to keep the window open for air and we could hear conversations from the garden.
Quaint location, in the middle of the countryside outside town. Cute garden and outdoor dining space. Other guests seemed to enjoy the pool as well, however we did not take advantage of it. The breakfast had many options and was refilled promptly. Clean and spacious room.

Highly recommend the four course meal offered by Carmela. Don’t forget to try her fresh-baked pastries ever morning at breakfast! We also spent time exploring San Gimignano, which was a short drive away.

AustraliaThere was so much to love about this stay. The location was great - 10 minutes out of San Gigimano Town, close to local wineries and Il Castagnolino itself was such a beautiful place to stay amongst the olive trees and Tuscan Hills. Carmela was such a friendly and caring host - I would highly recommend booking the four course meal during your stay as her cooking is fantastic! We really loved our stay ☺️

NetherlandsSometimes during evenings we didn't have any warm water. In the mornings it was working again, perhaps the guests all wanted to take a shower at the same time. It is a pitty that there is no little fridge in the room and no coffee maker. But we did go out a lot during day time so for us it was no problem.
The views, the food and friendly staff and owner made us feel at home and were wonderful to experience for 1,5 week. We will certainly come back again. Only 10 minutes by car to San Gimignano. Very nice and well maintained garden, lovely fresh breakfast in the morning in the garden. No complaints at all. Enough parking space, secured surrounding.

United StatesIt would have been nice to have a small fridge in the room. Google Maps sent us the wrong way, so we ended up driving the back road up. It would be much nicer to enter the property the right, much more appealing way ;)...
An amazing, delicious breakfast with many choices. Homemade yogurt was amazing. We just stayed for one night and weren't aware we could have ordered dinner at the property earlier. It would have been a great experience. Looks like the host is making other attractions, like cooking classes, available for her quests, so make sure you ask ahead if interested. Nice location right by San Gimignano with free parking. Great views of the area at nighttime!
