Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

That is the most beautiful place we stayed in Italy. Everything was so nice and cool. Specially the area with the sun-beds indeed the oak trees. Territory is awesome, pool, I can count non stop. Restaurant is great, even locals from Siena coming for dinner. Special recommendation - duck. And great thanks to staff and Paloma, she made our stay even greater.

United StatesThere was a step in the bathroom that became a trip hazard with tiles of the same color. The primary issue is the lack of visual differentiation between the step and the surrounding floor, making it difficult to perceive the change in level

Staying at this stunning Hotel-Castle in the heart of Tuscany is like stepping into a dream. With origins dating back to 760 AD, the property effortlessly blends history, charm, and modern comfort. Perfectly located, it’s just about an hour’s drive from iconic Tuscan towns like Cortona, Siena, and Montepulciano—making it an ideal base for exploring the region. The castle itself is impeccably maintained, preserving its ancient soul while offering the comforts of a luxury stay. The bar and the restaurant are both exceptional, serving delicious local cuisine and wines with impeccable service. One of the highlights is the beautiful terrace, where you can sit back with a glass of wine and take in the breathtaking views of the rolling Tuscan countryside. The pool is equally delightful—a peaceful spot to relax under the sun, surrounded by nature and history. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the warm and thoughtful attention from the staff. Every detail is taken care of with genuine hospitality. This is more than just a place to stay—it’s a full Tuscan experience. A must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in beauty, culture, and relaxation.

United Arab EmiratesThe location was spectacular, as was the castle itself. The food, the wine...all wonderful! We loved lazing in the hammock listening to the birds and cicadas. The view from the top of the tower was beautiful, too. A perfect stay in Tuscany - we would have loved to stay even longer.

It’s not every day that you get to stay in a Medieval Castle. Beautiful grounds and a lovely room overlooking the valley. Very quiet and peaceful with plenty of outdoor seating with bar service for relaxing. We had dinner here a couple of nights and it was amazing each time. Tiramisu was delicious! Loved our stay.

FinlandGood to know, that you need to rent a car. There's really no other way to get around. Also, good to know, that the ebikes need to be reserved in advance.
We loved this place! It's incredibly beautiful, both the castle and the views, the restaurant is nice (especially the risotto), the breakfast is perfect, it is nicely located (a short drive from castles, medieval towns and vineyards in the area). It has a nice pool, rooftop views and we also enjoyed our wine tasting and a beautiful walk through the vineyards.

United KingdomNot the fault of the property- we did not have a car. We were able to get a bus from Siena on the way there but did not realise that the buses do not run on a Sunday- taxi was €100 for a 30min journey Also dinner felt very overpriced- vegetarian option for one course was some leek and puree
Unique accommodation, beautiful surrounding. Staff were very helpful! Would stay again but have a car
