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 reviewThe breakfast was amazing. It was served each day in a basket plus fruit, yoghurt, home made cake, meat, cheese, fruit juice and coffee with cornetto. More importantly it was the view of the town in the background whilst you had breakfast. It was breathtaking .
Nothing to improve for us.

Verified reviewIt was fantastic to be at this place, the hospitality, care and kindness of the hosts as well as their professionalism are gold. The place is authentic, charming, convivial and has everything you can think of when staying at a B&B. The bedroom and private bathroom are very spacious and the high ceiling adds to the experience of being in a typical Toscana house. The view it has on St Gimignano Is amazing, you can contemplate the whole town from the garden where the breakfast is served. The breakfast is unbelievable, it includes home made pastries, bruschetta and other local delicatesses . We had a wonderful time. Francesca gave extremely good advice and recommendations on where to eat and where to go that made our trip unforgettable. Francesca and Mauro are really extraordinary hosts. I highly recommend this place!

Verified reviewThe breakfast was amazing. It is in the garden with the view of San Gimignano. It might be the best view of this medieval town. It is very close to the town by walk. There is free parking space outside. The rooms are very clean. In case you need anything, they help in an instant. They have even mosquito repellent sprays for free in the garden. Francesca is a very helpful and friendly host. Very cozy and cute agriturismo! Highly recommended!
Really nothing! Just don`t wash your car. There is a gravel road in front of the agriturismo.
We’re so grateful for your kind words — thank you for sharing your experience! We hope to see you again here in our B&B Il Fienile

Verified reviewThis is the most amazing B&B we have ever stayed at; the views are breathtaking and the location for a short walk into town or jump into the car to explore the Tuscan countryside were both so convenient. Francesca and her family are the most amazing hosts and the daily breakfasts were a feast of local cuisine. If you’re looking for the most amazing relaxed stay, away from the chaos of Pisa, Sienna or Florence, then this is the place for you. Visiting San Gimignano in the evenings once the bulk of the tourists have gone is the perfect way to see this city with all its charm, away from the crowds.
I have nothing bad to say about our stay.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing to spend your holiday with us. It truly means a lot to us, and we’re so happy to have had the chance to host you. Your kind words warm our hearts — we hope to welcome you back again someday!

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at Francesca B&B in San Gimignano. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed—Francesca is an incredibly kind and thoughtful host. She went out of her way to recommend local attractions, nearby towns to explore, and excellent restaurants, which made our trip even more special. She was especially sweet and attentive with our daughter, which we truly appreciated as a family. The garden was absolutely stunning, with a breathtaking view of the Tuscan landscape. Enjoying breakfast out there each morning was the perfect way to start the day. A special mention goes to Francesca’s mother, who prepared delicious homemade sweets that made breakfast even more memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—this B&B truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended!
That we stayed only three nights and we didn’t have the chance to do the cooking pasta experience.

Verified reviewWe spontaneously booked a night at the Bed and Breakfast Fienile on our road trip through Italy and were rewarded with the most beautiful place ever. Lovely, spacious and homely room, extremely comfortable bed. We adored spending time in the garden, we drank some local wine and saw the sun set over the stunning town of San Gimignano, a sure highlight in the Toscana! Breakfast was also served in the garden, can recommend getting up early to see the sunrise over the vinyard. Our highlight of the stay was the incredible host Francesca! Thank you so much for everything, we loved the recommendations for food and drink in the town, and your friendly bubbly nature really made our week. Highly reccomend a stay here ☺️

Verified reviewWe loved everything about the property! Francesca & Mauro were the best hosts we have come across on our travels. Location was perfect. Easy walk to town and it was always so lovely to come back here for total relaxation. Amazing views of San Gimignano. Breakfast was a delight each morning with homemade surprises each morning. Lots of wonderful walks in the countryside from the property too. If we are ever fortunate to visit this part of Italy again we would definitely stay here again.
Nothing as everything was perfect!🤩

Verified reviewThis place is awesome! Everything from the service, the personal touch (Francesca is an incredible host!), the food, the room size and comfortability ... It was super clean, with lots of space to put your stuff down. And the little things - like when you come back to your room with a bottle of great Italian wine you just bought and you realize there is a bottle opener next to the glasses so you don't have to go ask for it ;) Also, you could find some nice spots to sit outside in the garden. The tasty breakfast with the view of San Gimignano is another big plus, and the town is just a 5-minute walk away (uphill, on a dusty road - but the town is well worth the walk every time you go!).

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at this charming B&B! This location is perfect - just outside of town but still within walking distance, which made exploring San Gimignano so easy without being in the middle of the touristy center. The picturesque views of the town from the B&B garden were breathtaking. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Francesca provided many great suggestions for the area - from wineries to restaurants - which were all hits! Our room was very clean and spacious. I highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful place to stay while visiting San Gimignano!
