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...).

CanadaCould walk into San Gimignano but fairly strong uphill grade all the way in the heat is tough.
We loved this place! It’s a great location just outside of San Gimignano that offers peace and tranquility of the Tuscan landscape, and a short drive into town. The rooms were clean and the property well maintained, including the pool which offers a perfect place to relax on hot afternoons.

United KingdomNothing - we loved everything!
The beautiful landscape and how well kept the accommodation was. The host, Dario, was very welcoming and helpful - he spoke perfect English and gave us some great tips for exploring the area. The grounds are stunning, everywhere you look is beautiful and there are plenty of spaces to enjoy peacefully. The accommodation is only a 15minute walk to the centre of San Gimignano but feels far from the busy tourist areas.

RomaniaWe liked our experience but I think certain things may be improved. We weren't provided with toilet essentials. For a week of staying, the room wasn't cleaned once and nobody came to bring us a toilet paper, just for example. We had reserved another room, but when we got there we had a surprise that we received `an update`. I didn't appreciate that because I know what I booked and what I wanted to receive. Anyway, I haven't address my complain, but if you want to make sure you will reveive the room you booked you should ask beforehand. The check-in was very difficult to make. Until the last day, I haven't received a message from them even though I gave them a couple of messages on whatsapp and on booking. When somebody finally answered, the check-in was unavailable - it wasn't very smooth to say at least. We enjoyed our stay but they could improve. It's a shame because the area is so beautiful. P.S. We stayed for a week in February and for more than half of the week we were alone in the propriety. Some might find it a little scary. It was ok, but due to the fact that the gates were always open, I was a little scared.
We loved the area. It was very quiet and there where even rabbits and deers in the area. It was a delight to see them in the mornig.

AustraliaThe wifi was very slow. The double bed was rock hard.
We loved the location. It was so central to a number of Tuscan towns. The grounds of this place was beautiful. The rolling hills with pool and pine trees. Very photogenic. The kitchen was good. The TV worked. The washing machine worked. Good hot water.

SwitzerlandThe place was great, the below are details: The main bedroom smelled a bit like food from the moment we entered — it could be maybe communicating with another area of the whole house, or it could be coming from the air conditioning system. We’ve missed having a washing machine (maybe there was a communal one and we missed it?) and an oven would be a great addition.
Great location, friendly owners and property managers. The view was breathtaking. The kids would play downstairs safely. We were an hour away from big cities like Florence and Pisa making it ideal for daily trips. The village itself was beautiful and the house was 2 mins from a supermarket. There were also deers near the property!

AlbaniaI hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share some feedback regarding my recent stay at your hotel. Unfortunately, during my time there, the internet was not functioning properly, which made it difficult to stay connected. Additionally, the ground floor room I stayed in was quite cold, and it seemed difficult to regulate the temperature. I would appreciate it if you could look into these issues to ensure a more comfortable experience for future guests.

AustraliaWifi was terrible. No access in room. And that was after the great difficulty in discovering the password. It was not on the introduction messages nor was it in the room. It was only found after walking around the complex and found it written on the wall outside of the reception.

IsraelThe only two minor disadvantages are low reception inside the ground floor apartment (and also the wi-fi signal), and the entry road to the complex is a bit damaged from rain (it's a narrow dirt road)
The best view we've ever had in italy was right outside our door! The complex is an isolated, beautiful paradise. Every inch is clean and taken care of. Beautiful and comfy interior- bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. The pool view is breathtaking, better than most views in tuscany (not kidding). A very comfortable bed. Great location- few minutes drive from the town center. Also the landlord and the housekeeper were so nice to us- a special thank you to Dario, you are the best!

United KingdomWe loved our stay at Podere Raggio di Sole! It was the perfect location for us for a week in Tuscany. Our apartment (Zaffiro) was perfect for our group (2 adults, 1 child) and had everything we needed to self-cater for the week. We loved the property...especially the pool. It was a hot week during our stay (36+), and the air con was perfect. There are hammocks in the shade and different activities to enjoy as well (ping pong, etc). Parking was easy (and covered). We chose to drive into San Gimignano and it was easy to access the car parks in town, as well as the Coop nearby for groceries. We planned to arrive late, and the check-in process was easy (online check in) with code provided to access keys, etc. Our host, Roberta, was on-site daily and always greeting us with a big smile. Podere Raggio di Sole was a perfect spot for us to enjoy time by the pool, as well as travel to nearby cities like Florence, Siena and Volterra for day trips.

AustraliaThe stairs were too narrow to safely carry suitcases up, so they had to stay on the ground level. The hot water in shower ran out after 10mins despite being the only people on the property. There is NO space on benches for cooking and preparing food and no dish towel or cleaning products other than dish soap in the kitchen. An extension cord runs behind sink, very unsafe when washing dishes. The decor was very outdated and old. The wifi was shockingly bad, limited phone signal, perhaps because our apartment was so far from the office? When the sun did come out we went to use the outdoor furniture but it was not clean. There was curtains on 3/5 of the windows and were not black out curtains so were woken by the sun and had no privacy. I requested a cot for 5month old baby, nothing was provided in the room. The washing machine does not work!! We only book places that have a washing machine due to travelling with an infant, not good at all. Also THE most rock solid mattress on the bed that we've ever slept on. It also smelled stale like old smoke or a charity shop - you know the smell.
Beautiful views, no neighbours. Warm towels in bathroom.
