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.).

AustraliaReception staff could be a little friendlier and more helpful in organising external activities. At this price point an accessible activities/services planning support would be helpful. We requested services to Florence and the reception were not very helpful (yes they offer a shuttle but the timing did not suit us). We needed options so that we can have a private drop and pickup vs taxi due to the fear of being unable to get one back to the property at night after dinner. The reception weren’t very helpful which was frustrating. Overall improvement should be made to support activity/stay planning upon checkin as we would have loved to know about the Hot Air Balloon option, that we only found out about our last day because we saw it during breakfast. Upon arrival we were greeted and shown around by a lovely lady who also runs the yoga on-site. She was so engaging and genuine (I cannot remember her name but upon she is the perfect selection for greeting new guests! The grape harvest activity was pretty great! The staff and organisation of the activity considered attention to detail. Improvement could be made in communication in terms of what to wear and what to expect on the day. We also had a private Vespa tour with Samuelle (our private tour guide who was AMAZING). It was an experience that we will never forget. I was a little nervous but Samuelle (who is young but more mature than his age!) was great at providing me the confidence I needed. The activity was super expensive but one we won’t regret or forget! Etched memory!
Amazing property in a great location to see many of the villages in Tuscany. Room Sizing was great and views from the room were AMAZING. The spa services were great BUT very expensive (we travel very regularly). Staff in areas except for the reception were pretty amazing! Breakfast area - Gabrielle is one they need to keep! He is so amazing always happy to appease! Pool side - Jay was so great always preempting our requests and always happy! Day Spa - Eva is a talented masseuse! The La Torre restaurant wasn’t as great as i expected considering the high prices.

Romania- while they offer you a lot of kid-related welcome gifts, it's disappointing they don't allow children under 16 in the spa area. They promised they will call us when nobody is around to allow us in the spa area with children but they never contacted us during our stay - the castle feels too much redesigned, not feeling the vintage vibe anymore - very expensive daily activities (hundreds of euros for wine tasting / cooking classes / bike rides / etc) - barely any towels at the pool and also very muddy area / grass. Service is also quite limited
- nice welcome, with drinks and refreshing towels - the view in the vecinity of the pool and from the terrace and restaurant is wonderful - occasional complimentary fruits and refreshing towels while at the pool - a lot of kid-related welcome gifts

DenmarkI believe the prices are above the market for what the hotel is. For 800 euros/night in low season you can stay at Ritz Paris or any hotel at this level.
The location is beautiful and the hotel is also beautiful. For sure it has a 5* service and facilities. We definitely will go back.

AustraliaThe food and beverage was a little over priced
The most amazing and enchanting property. We absolutely loved it our stay at Castello Del Nero. This is definitely a five star experience. The staff are incredible and their attention to their guests is quite unbelievable. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt like we were staying in a guest house. The food was also amazing!

United StatesThe hotel really needs an indoor dining room which it has but is used only by the Michelin star restaurant
November being an unpredictable weather month the breakfast was served in a patio room with plastic screens not very cozy. With the rainy conditions it would have been better to serve in the indoor dining room

ItalyThe gray interior throughout is quite depressing. The restaurant and bar decor are so bad we decided not to eat at either restaurant during our stay. This property could be phenomenal if the common area decor including restaurants were updated.
The pool is incredible when its sunny. The breakfast is also outstanding. Staff are very friendly.

United KingdomThe decor was horrible - grey everywhere, walls, ceiling, floor, furniture. There were no pictures on the walls. The furniture was modern corporate stuff - all grey, no charm - completely at odds with a historic castle. My friends (in two separate bedrooms) had horrible rooms, small with no windows / outlook. I had a fab room in terms of comfort and view but it was noisy as delivery vans came at 6 am each morning and noisily unloaded just outside my window. The bar was horrible and there was no comfortable lounge to sit in. There was a lovely outside terrace but the weather was not warm enough when we were there to use it and I suspect in the summer it could be too hot. The spa was weird - not nice. A steam room but no sauna. There was a good sized hot tub / jacuzzi but one could not access it from the swimming pool area as a hedge had been grown between the pool and the spa so that one had to go round to the main entrance of the spa which involved a long walk and flights of stairs from the pool area. The hedge also blocked the view from the jacuzzi and spa (and it should be a fab view across the hills/ olive groves and vineyards). The hedge is madness! Bar and restaurant staff slow and did not know how to make tea. They must have many English clients - why don't they learn how to make a pot of tea properly! Heat the tea pot, put in the tea-bags, then add boiling water. Simple!
Breakfast was good and location, in an orangery with a terrace, great. Absolutely stunning, uplifting views. Good dinners too. Reception staff very nice and helpful.
