How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Verified reviewI visited Tuscany many times but this area was breathtaking and the land of Borgo della Meliana is absolutely stunning, it feels like stepping into a postcard! The rooms were spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated with a rustic charm. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be back for longer!

Verified reviewThe property is dreamy! Nested in the middle of the vineyards, with plenty of greenery and space to enjoy. The playground was also great, since we’re traveling with a 3-year old. We didn’t use the pool because it was still a little cold, but it would be lovely during summer. The house was spacious and in traditional Tuscan style. The cost-benefit is great!
The house needs better maintenance
Thank you very much for your kind words, looking forowrd to host you again for your next trip !

Verified reviewWe spent only one night but is a very nice and clean location in the middle of vineyards. Our apartment had a beautifull view over the valley. The staff was very friendly and ready to help. In the complex there is also a nice outdoor pool. Is a place where need to stay more days to fully enjoy it.
Not that we did not liked but just to be aware: is necessary to have a car for going out. Our apartment had a kitchen but you need supplies in order to not going out from complex.

Verified reviewThe stunning property has amazing surroundings, and the apartments are spacious and well-equipped. The large swimming pool is very nice and offers an amazing landscape view.
The air conditioning was not working properly. out of 5 nights, it only worked twice. It was hot during the summer season so it was difficult to sleep. They could not fix the problem after several complaints saying it was difficult to find maintanance during summer. The beds are a bit hard and the dishwasher was leaking water, but was fixed after the first complaint.
Hello thank you for your review, we do not result to have had problem with airconditioning, our tecnician came right way and we could veryify the right functioning of cold air. We are sorry if temperature of 21degress was not as expected. Regards.

Verified reviewThe views were incredible and the place was very peaceful. The swimming pool was great for the kids, they enjoyed going for a swim after a day full of visits. Borgo della Meliana is within 1 h distance by car of the most iconic places in the Toscana: Firenze, Volterra, Siena... We would recommend it for sure!
Everything was pretty great, maybe some drawers in the bathroom to leave the toiletries would be great.

Verified reviewFantastic location within easy driving distances to all the famous towns in Tuscany. The vineyards surrounding Borgo Meliana have a beautiful outlook and made waking up and going for a walk a treat for the senses. The Villa itself had a small plunge pool of its own which was a bonus although we didn’t use it as the water was much colder than in the shared pool. As for the large pool , it was perhaps the largest pool we’ve ever seen! Staff was friendly & welcoming and we loved getting acquainted with Yaye who was prompt & helpful with all our requests and queries. Villa Pillo and Mama Fish and drink are the nearest restaurants and the food there is absolutely amazing. You must book.
Slightly outdated , bathrooms definitely need updating some furnitures need replacing like the wornout sofa in our villa. There was an ant infestation but then it’s the dry summer heat so one can’t do much about that. If you are bringing an electric vehicle you will need to drive about 10 minutes away to the next town ( Castelfiorentino) to charge as there’s only one connection that was offered to us but our plug wasn’t compatible.

Verified reviewFabulous stay - the team were great, we had issues with our flight on arrival day and they went out of their way to ensure we got keys despite late arrival. Really quick communication via whatsapp. Apartment was big with comfy beds...bed quality is something we have found to be an issue at other properties in the area. The shutters were alsp blackout which was important for us with small kids that wake as soon as the sun comes up. Kitchen had all of the facilities. Very peaceful and safe area. If you like walking, there is a path up the main road to Gambassi which is 3-4km away where there are lots of shops and restaurants. You can also work to two restaurants about 1.5km away. It was too cold for the pool to be open and we didnt use any of the other amenities such as wine tasting, but they looked excellent. Despite it being cold end March, there was lots of green space for the kids to run around.
Nothing, it met our needs. Perhaps some essentials such as coffee, water and milk would be good to help with first morning at the property.
