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.).

PolandBecause of the old character of the building soundproofing isn't the best. We could very clearly hear toilet flushing in another room or people talking/rolling suitcases in the hallway, especially early in the morning,. It woke us up quite few times.
Lisa and Jenny were super friendly and helpful, rest of the staff was also very nice and professional - we felt very welcomed. They also prepared for us a breakfast bag as we were checking out very early in the morning. Entire hotel has a lovely Italian character. Great location, quiet area, few minutes walk to Piazza dei Priori. The room was tidy and big enough, a bit dark though as it was facing the corner of the backyard, so we had to put the light on during the day. Beds were comfortable, however the mattresses were squeky. Breakfast was fantastic with great selection of cakes, local specialities , jams and good cappucino. We enjoyed sunbathing and swimming in the pool. The area was clean and well maintained. Must try in Volterra: tagliolini nero with prawns at Alla Vecchia Maniera (restaurant recommended by Lisa) and phenomenal ice cream at L'isola del Gusto Gelateria.

Belgium- breakfast was empty except for sweets, when we arrived at breakfast buffet. It seems they were understaffed because the lady was working very hard but she couldnot keep up to assure that the buffet was refilled on time. So it was poor for us.
- swimming pool (small but refreshing after a hot day walking around) - location - staff at reception: very friendly!!! - you can reserve parking spot for 15€

IrelandOccasionally during our three day stay there was a bad smell from the sewers. This didn’t last long and would not put us off returning.
A charming hotel in a beautiful historic town. The pool is a great addition in the heat of summer. Breakfast was fine in a lovely courtyard. Staff were very friendly and the off street parking a bonus. Volterra has numerous lovely cafes and restaurants with historic churches and museums. Well worth a visit.

United KingdomAlthough we had two wardrobes, one was filled with excess bedclothes and there were no drawers in which to store underwear and casual clothes. Car parking was a bit expensive at 15 Euros per day.
Very friendly staff. Large comfortable bedroom with an excellent shower and a small terrace overlooking an attractive swimming pool area. Good location, just inside the city walls and a little more than 5 minutes walk to the main Piazza.

United KingdomWe cannot think of anything negative about our recent stay.
Prior to arrival communication with the hotel was excellent. This included them sending full details for access to the car park as the hotel is located within the Volterra ZTL. The car park is adjacent to the hotel. A friendly welcome on arrival. We were expected and as all paperwork was available so we were in our room within a short period of time. As the hotel was a Convent the rooms have been built within the original nuns cells, with each having the name of a nun on the wall next to the door. A nice touch. We were upgraded to a lovely room overlooking the swimming pool and the Tuscan hills. The room was clean and well equipped, including a safe, a kettle with tea (no coffee?) and a comfy bed. The bathroom was bright and clean and the excellent shower had good pressure and almost instant hot water. Breakfast could not have been better with a wide range of plentiful delights available, including fresh coffee made to order. So much better than from a machine. Location is perfect with the hotel being located on one of the ancient streets into the city. The main square, with its wonderful architecture, is a 10min stroll. All of the hotel staff, without exception, were friendly and helpful. It will definitely be our place of choice to stay when we next visit Volterra.
