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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

The location was excellent - close to the Duomo and Piazza del Campo and some good restaurants - yet in a quiet street. Lovely old house with comfortable large room and comfy bed. Kettle and tea/ coffee provided. Good breakfast overlooking delightful garden which sadly we didn’t have time to use. Finally Sara was so lovely, welcoming and helpful and informative ☺️

Il Barbero is situated in the perfect location for access to the centre of Siena. It is a few minutes walk from the Duomo and Piazza del Campo. The accommodation is very comfortable and extremely clean. Sara the owner is exceptionally helpful, very organised and friendly. I would highly recommend Il Barbero.

United StatesThe property is promoted with A/C and parking. However during our stay, the A/C was not available. We had to sleep with the balcony doors open for cooling the room but the rain and thunderstorms didn't help us sleep well. The parking is not in the property and thus need to walk a bit. But we were able to leave and pickup bags in front of the property.
Great location and beautiful property. The owner and staff were courteous and helpful concerning tricky car access.

United StatesDriving to the hotel and finding it in the middle of the historic area was very challenging. We had to drive in to drop off our luggage and the streets were filled with people who will barely get out of the way of the car.
A very nice room. I highly recommend the optional breakfast. Theirs was delicious. Great location. Once we got there it was great.

United StatesEverything was amazing!
B&B Il Barbero is in a perfect location for Siena -- you can easily walk to the cathedral, main square, and other spots. Sara was an incredible host who went above and beyond. She shares a guest guide with you, which includes phenomenal recommendations for where to eat, what to do, and more. Additionally, we happened to be leaving on a train strike day and she was incredibly helpful in finding us trains that would run and generally recommending what we should do to get to our next destination. We would strongly recommend this spot to anyone and definitely want to return soon!

BelgiumIn the bathroom, there was no syphon under the sink. As a result it was not well isolated from the smell of the Siena's sewage. (Fortunately, the smell did not reach the room. I mentionned it to staff and I trust they will fix this.)
Very welcoming owners. Splendid location, close to the sights but not right in the middle of the many other tourists. Nice restaurant next door.
