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.).

Verified reviewReally lovely breakfast. Homemade cakes and savoury items too. Sandwiches, omelettes, cold cuts and cheese etc. Great location, very quiet and close to Siena and other Tuscan hilltop towns. Loved evening dips in the swimming pool!
There were no real downsides. Couple of occasions we couldn't find anyone when we had questions but figured it all out eventually and to be fair the laid back atmosphere is part of the charm

Verified reviewAmazing place near Siena. You definitely need a car to travel there. The hotel run by a family and owners are very helpful. Cleaning is done daily, swimming pool cleaned in the morning as well. Breakfast is very good for Italy, not only sweets but even eggs are available. Good coffee.
For longer stay a small kitchen would be helpful.

Verified reviewVery nice place to stay, the house and the surroundings. Owners - Luciano and Laura are welcoming, kind people. Room was clean and spacious and the bed very comfortable. Very good fresh breakfast. Beautiful views around. Nice deep pool. You would feel the love of the owners to their home in every little thing.
Wifi is not much available in the room, but, may be, it's a good thing

Verified reviewIl Canto del Sole is a magical place surrounded by stunning Tuscan scenery. We returned after 17 years, and loved our stay as much as the first time! The hosts, Laura and Luciano, are so friendly and caring. The breakfast buffets are delicious, filled with homemade savoury and sweet creations. Rooms are clean, comfortable and traditionally decorated.
The only thing we missed was a kettle, mugs and glasses in the room.

Verified reviewEverything! The hosts - Luciano and Laura were so welcoming and made you feel at home. The property itself sat high on a hill overlooking a beautiful valley. The grounds were spectacular - lots of intimate sitting spaces, a gorgeous saltwater pool, lovely flowers and garden. Our room was spacious, cozy, and immaculate. We had our own little side patio. Everyday someone came to clean and bring fresh towels. What service! And the breakfast - fresh cappuccinos, bread, cakes, pastries, eggs (from their own chickens), meats and cheeses. Fantastic fresh food! I can’t say enough about this lovely refuge.
Absolutely nothing.

Verified reviewLoved this property and the beautiful owners Luciano and Laura. The care and attention put into the property, rooms, food and guests is truly wonderful. We were recommended the property from friends who had stayed 15 years earlier and said it was some of the best food they had eaten. Fast forward today and I stayed with my wife and baby daughter and it’s still a phenomenal place. We had dinner both nights and it was gorgeous - both the food and the eating room. Three course meals with family recipes and traditional dishes. Couldn’t ask for a better countryside Tuscan experience. The room was large and spacious. Importantly for us there was a shared sitting room which we were able to use when our baby was asleep into the room. We were able to drive right up to the room which made packing and unpacking the car very easy. There was an onsite electric charger. Everything was extremely convenient.

Verified reviewIl Canto del Sole is located on a magnificent property that looks out over the beautiful Tuscan countryside. It is also a large family-run farm and the owner-managers are very efficient, friendly and helpful. Laura is a talented and passionate chef who provides beautiful food and interesting insights into each recipe. She also provided us with valuable advice and directions regarding our next visits to Siena and other local areas. We honestly felt like we were being entertained and guided by family friends. The property is located within easy driving distance to the spectacular city of Siena. Our room was authentically designed and furnished, and it was impeccably clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing and included freshly-baked sweet and savoury treats. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we were sad that we could not stay longer. We would highly recommend Il Canto del Sole as a wonderful place to stay.

Verified reviewi really liked the property itself, everything was well thought of, quiate a family business but very professional I loved that they went out of their way, when i was asking for non pork food and they provided me with chicken and turkey alternatives. this is a great and kind initiative i will never forget :) also my pertner broke a porcelain bowl in the room and we offered to pay as it was an accident but the owners refused to accept any payment. We were very humbled.
the best was not very comfortable, i could feel the springs. still it didnt ruin our stay. the wifi did not work everywhere on the property but i think thats because it was a remote location and vast land, so i cannot complaint.

Verified reviewThe property is a gorgeous renovated large private home in a wonderfully convenient location. Beautiful grounds and pool, great and plentiful breakfast, clean comfortable rooms. The absolute best part of staying here though, are the hosts: Luciano and Laura. They are two of the sweetest, most helpful and considerate people I've ever met. If you need a place to stay in the Sienna area, this is the one! Oh, and If you don't feel like going out to dinner, Laura is a gifted cook who will provide a great dinner if asked for a reasonable price.
There was absolutely nothing to complain about.

The pool was great since it was so hot, but it isn’t heated so a little too cold for me.
