How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

It has stairs which was fine for me, but don't stay if you can't do stairs.
Room was large, comfortable, and had a great view. Location was at the top of a hill and a short walk to Il Campo and Sienna Cathedral. Even had small fridge and blow dryer. AC was a must for Siena in July. A variety for breakfast--hard boiled eggs, meats, brioche, and more. Staff great! Sofia was very welcoming, kind, and professional. She assisted me when I needed help, especially with a rental car. Many thanks!

Our room was a bit small but we haven’t actually spent time in the room except for sleeping time.
The Location is the best. We enjoyed the stay at Roberto’s B&B. He was super helpful and provided us with all the information & dinner recommendations as well as nice view points. We were traveling by car and he suggested options for parking (paid or free). Even though you cannot park next to the property because it’s located inside the citadelle, Roberto helped us access the area for drop off & pick up pf the luggage by car. Everything went on smoothly. He was also present at breakfast time to ensure we have everything we needed.

There are a lot of stairs! However, the apartment was on the top floor of a narrow building on a hill in Siena - stairs are to be expected. Roberto helped us with our bags and made the stairs much easier.
Excellent air conditioning! Tidily arranged bed with towels and bathroom slippers. Bathroom was clean and tidy, with a great showerhead to clean holiday grime. The bed was very comfy and the room was relatively quiet.

Great B&B experience to stay here. The room was studio-sized, i.e. just a simple room and a rest room. The owner, Roberto, is friendly and helpful and made a really nice breakfast. The location in Siena was perfect.

The room is on the third floor with no lifts, and there is no free parking close by.
It's a great location in the historical centre of Italy. The staff are very helpful and there was even milk available in the room to go with the tea/coffee at the end of the day.

My room had thin curtains that didn't block the light that came through the louvred shutters when they were closed. Therefore the room was too bright at night, so I had to wear an eye mask.
My room and the breakfast room were very comfortable and clean. There was a great choice of food for breakfast. The staff were most helpful and pleasant. My room had a wonderful view.

The walls are very thin, and you can hear everything that that’s happening in the hallway and in the kitchen, and I guess they can hear what’s going on in the room. On our first day, the Wi-Fi didn’t work. The apricot marmalade had gone bad a while ago.
What we liked the most about our stay was the lovely receptionist who was always smiley and extremely helpful! Everything was easy with her. The location is great.
