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 StatesThe castle was stunning upon arrival ! We loved our stay in the Tower, beautiful view of the countryside and Siena, just amazing. The sun set over Siena. It is very convenient to Siena, just 10 minutes to San Francesco parking area and up the escalator to Siena. The hosts were very friendly and as it happened they have a farmhouse restaurant about 10 minutes away. No ordinary restaurant, they make their own wine, olive oil and grow many of the ingredients at the farm. If you are in the area, you must eat here, Le Pietre Vive Restaurante. Very Very nice, we highly recommend ! Glenn and Diane

United StatesWe came in November and gave them an exact time of arrival, I only wish they had turned on the heat in our room a little bit before our arrival.
The experience of staying in a real castle with absolutely incredible views of the rolling Tuscan Hills made me feel like I had been transported somewhere else. (even our first floor room had incredible views) Everyone was very nice even when we made a check in mistake, and the breakfast was better than expected and the entire family enjoyed it.

Exceptional place. Beautiful spacious room. Wonderful breakfast in a beautiful room . Helpful attentive staff. No wifi in rooms but excellent wifi on higher floors and in the breakfast room. Ample free parking Amazing views. This is what Tuscany is all about. Exceeded all expectations. Family also owns an excellent restaurant about 6 kms away which we loved and recommended to other guests.

United StatesThe automatic air freshener in the bathroom was set right at head level by the toilet. When it went off it would spray us in the head if we were using the toilet. Not very pleasant to smell like the air freshener.
The property is stunning! The location is really beautiful set in the Tuscan hills. The views from every window were like a piece of art! The Farmhouse Restaurant was amazing! The cooking class was top notch and so much fun! The breakfast was hot and fresh with amazing views!

CanadaThe family suite bathroom could use some upgrading, fixtures looked quite outdated. The check in process could be streamlined to allow more flexibility. it's hard to estimate the exact time of arrival.
The castle was a wonderful addition to our journey. It is a unique historical building surrounded by olive groves. The castle itself is not big but it offers an adjacent nice garden to enjoy. Our suite was very spacious with amazing views of Tuscan rolling hills, which felt magical. The breakfast was great: cappuccino, charcuterie, yoghurt, jams, everything you need to start a sightseeing day in Siena.

CanadaStaying here was so fun! My husband and I wish we had more time. Driving up to a castle to stay in was such a cool experience in and of itself. From the moment we brought our luggage in to the moment we left, was an absolute dream. I could have spent hours in the shared rooms if we had the time. There’s so much of the family’s history around— I couldn’t soak it all in! So picturesque.

FranceWell, it's nitpicking but if you are big or in bad shape, getting into and out of the place could be a challenge: there are a number of stairs to climb to get to the entry and our tower room had not one but two narrow spiral staircases to climb. Those factors didn't bother us but might impact some people.
Charming, beautiful stay in an actual castle with the family living there. The staff is great, the location is unique to say the least.
