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.).

AustraliaThe rooms could have had a full mirror to look at in the rooms, but this is not important, as the stay is about the Tuscan beauty.
The stay was wonderful The ambiance was great and welcoming. The rooms were large and clean. The pool looked good and the garden is memorising to look at.

NorwayThe bed was a little bit to firm. Otherwise everything is perfect.
Really nice property and building, the surroundings are amazing. Its so much more beautiful than the pictures show. The view of the hills and San gimignano are mesmerizing. The dinner in the evening was homemade, so good and with lots of food. The owner made the food himself, and his son was helping. Really nice. Feels like youre with family.

AustraliaOur bed was extremely hard, as were the pillows. That’s ok for some people, but we prefer a soft bed. The bedding was immaculately clean. Our view was over the top of the green canvas awning. Maybe ask for a different room than that. Not really an issue, but i had asked for the view to be a priority in my request.
The beautiful old villa was in the spectacular Tuscan hillside. The pool was amazing! Perfect temperature, ample sunbeds and umbrellas, with a beautiful view over the vineyards. The room itself was lovely, with frescoes painted on the walls. The gardens are lovely and very well maintained.

SwitzerlandBest stay in Tuscany ever. Amazing host/owner, The setup of this place is amazing. I have never experienced a host paying soo much attention to details. The plants, the garden, the pool and the small park in front of the main building are soo nice. The food/diner which he prepares all by himselfs is excellent. I can only recomend this place to anyone how wants to experience Tuscany at is max.

MexicoYou have to know what to expect and you should come to think of it as staying at friend’s house. It’s a great place to make connections with other people while experiencing an amazing part of Tuscany but if you come expecting it to be a 5 star hotel where you are catered to on every whim it’s likely not the best place for you.
The overall vibe that Alessandro creates here is on its own worth the visit and the dinner service when available is better than anything we experienced in Italy. The location has incredible views all around and an amazing pool. The location is great and it’s a great option if you’d like to visit San Gimignano, Siena and surrounding towns.

United KingdomAlthough there was plenty of shade on the grass by the pool and under the trees you weren’t allowed to sit there. This was a huge problem when it was 33 degrees. The umbrellas didn’t tilt to give shade either.
The position was perfect for our needs. The grounds were stunning and very well kept.

United KingdomNot much to be honest! Nothing to do with the hotel, more the transport - it's slightly out of town so you need to drive everywhere to eat during the day. Alessandro cooks dinner some evenings so this was good that we didn't need to drive outside the hotel for dinner on some evenings.
Alessandro was a delight (along with all of the other staff!) and made us feel very welcome. He was always on hand to offer advice and not far away if you needed to order a drink to cool down! The seating areas were plentiful and the pool area was perfect for chilling out during the day. We had a really lovely stay ☺️

CroatiaSince I was traveling by car, it was important for me to have secured parking. Top class accommodation for sure. Property is placed on perfect position. From one side, the silence of nature at the property, but literally a few minutes drive through the beautiful countryside to the center of San Gimignano. In addition, the breakfast in this accommodation is really excellent. Everything is extra clean and tidy. Signore Martelli was an excellent host. For recommendation.

BelgiumThe villa is beautifully located, offering magnificent views of the Tuscan hills, has a cosy beautiful garden. Parking is easy. The room has everything for comfortable stay, spotlessly clean. I’ve honestly never seen such impeccably white sheets and towels Breakfast was excellent, with a good selection and everything tasting delicious. The hospitable owner made us feel very welcome, personally preparing coffee and hot chocolate for our son. If we return to Tuscany, we will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
