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 reviewAUTHENTICITY. I think it’s the best place where you can feel the peace of mind you was looking for a long time . Every person is very gentle. The vibes is the vibe of the most beautiful dream you have ever wished to live in Tuscany . Good food, good wine of course . The cure of details it’s what conquered the heart of my girlfriend . From the glasses to the napkins and … one BIG THING, there is a spray released during the day to protect guest from mosquitos . Quality , authenticity , detailes, romanticism, relax . It’s really the best place you can pick for the most unforgettable moment of your life .

Verified reviewSome staffs are friendly and helpful. The view is nice.
They don't have someone at the entrance to greet you and help with your luggage like other hotels. You need to carry your luggage to the check-in area by yourself. The front desk staff didn't seem very friendly/welcoming.- Thank you for your response. However, after reading it, I feel even more certain that your tone comes across as unfriendly. While some staff members were very friendly and helpful, such as the male employee who kindly drove us to the hill and another who greeted me, I have to admit that my experience with the front desk staff was not as positive. In particular, the front desk lady came across as indifferent. I’m simply sharing my honest observation: when we arrived, there was no one at the gate to welcome us as is often the case at other hotels, nor was there a doorman to help with our luggage. We ended up carrying our bags into the check-in area ourselves. Perhaps we’ve become accustomed to the warm and welcoming service we've received at other hotels. I actually recommended your hotel to friends and even shared a positive post about it on my social media. Now, I feel quite embarrassed.
Dear Hairuo, we are very astonished from your review and the unmotivated score: upon your arrival, two of our staff members unloaded your luggage and brought them to your room, while we offered you an aperitif by the pool. The following evening, we accompanied you to Mulino to save you the walk and this was a an exception, a personal favor. Therefore, reading that you had to carry your luggage at check-in and that the staff was not friendly is neither accurate nor fair to those who welcomed you.

Verified reviewAbsolutely stunning. The property was so relaxing, inviting and charming. Between the pool, the gardens and the common outdoor spaces we wished we had stayed longer. The kitchen staff was so accommodating. We came in late afternoon and they accommodated us for a late lunch, without hesitation.
Everything !!

Verified reviewOne of the most beautiful hotels I have seen, the flowers in the gardens and the interiors have all been so well thought out.
My only suggestion would be that more staff are definitely needed. For the price of the hotel I’d expect it to be easy to get drinks etc throughout the day but I had to keep going to reception if I wanted to find a staff member and it was very hard to get drinks/lunch by the pool. There is a bar but I didn’t once see a member of staff working there
Dear Lily, thank you for your review. We are sorry that you had difficulties in finding someone at the pool bar during your stay. Given the size of the garden, it may happen that the waiter is attending to another part of the property. For this reason, we have provided a number for sending messages via WhatsApp. This way, you don’t have to move, and our staff can read your order when they return from the previous service. Best regards,

Verified reviewGreat staff and communication despite last minute stay. Massage was affordable compared to most hotels. Setting is in an ideal Tuscan landscape and the food and service delicious. Even made me the perfect martini even thought it wasn’t on the menu. Tried to spend a second night but was fully booked.
Nothing to mention. Perfection for the price
