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.).

LebanonThere's nothing we didn't like. However, although the location was amazing, it was far from Pienza (the town), and we didn't know that there were no taxis. We blame ourselves because we didn't do enough research about the village itself and what transportation it offers. We would choose the same place if we had rented a car. People should know that there aren't taxis and limited public transportation.
Poggio Tobruk is one of the unique places that we visited in Italy and even in other countries because the farmhouse is located on a hill in Tuscany, 15 minutes away from the town. The room that we stayed in was extremely beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and spotless. You can find everything you need in it. Don't get me started on the views! It's on another level of spectacular. Farmhouse is on a hill that overlooks the Orcia Valley, which can look differently in different seasons. The owner of Poggio Tobruk "Marco" was a great help. He did us a lot of favors and was ready whenever we needed him. We enjoyed every bit of our stay, and we hope we come back in the future.

He was a cool guy and gave perfect recommendations for tasting vineyards. Couldn't recommend the place enough it was the highlight of our trip.

Hong KongEverything was perfect and definitely exceeded expectations as the pictures on the website looked ordinary and we were really pleasantly surprised when we checked in. We spent three nights here and it was a shame it couldn't have been longer.Federico was very friendly, genuine and helpful, telling us about the restaurants in the nearby villages and showing us the way. The daily breakfast offered a good choice of cakes, eggs and ham, all very tasty. The surrounding scenery is so beautiful that any photo taken is like a postcard. At night you could see the Milky Way from the garden. It was so nice to just stay in the garden without going anywhere. Next time I come back, I will definitely stay longer, this is a typical Tuscan idyll.

FranceI think the rooms are a bit run down and the bathrooms could use a bit of work.
Grazie mille for welcoming my family and I to this beautiful establishment tucked away in the hills of Pienza. The host booked us a taxi to pick us up from the train station, gave us ingredients to cook dinner, and explained to us how to navigate the city. He was so welcoming and kind and helped with our every need. You will definitely need to rent a car to get around, and we wish we stayed there for one more night to explore the other cities like Sienna. You definitely will get the best view and pictures staying at this Agruturismo and be sure to befriend the other people staying there as well!

ThailandAgriturismo Poggio Tobruk nestles on a hill in the middle of majestic Val D'Ordia. As the house is on a hill, we were surrounded by 360 degree greenery of the hill town. It is just 15 minute drive to Pienza, 25 minutes to Montepulciano, Montalcino and a short ride to small towns in Val D'Orcia. Our room is the on ground floor equipped with living room, TV, small kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom with comfy bed. The house is in a Tuscan farmhouse style. We love the vibe very much. It is clean and well-organized once we arrived. Federico greeted us at the front door. Highly recommend.
