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.).

We truly can’t say enough wonderful things about this B&B. Constanza and her mother are some of the most genuinely hospitable people we’ve ever met. My fiancé and I had an early morning day trip planned, and when Constanza asked what we’d like for breakfast the next day, we mentioned our early departure. To our surprise, she went above and beyond—she packed us a generous bagged lunch, complete with snacks and bottled water, to take with us on our train ride. Her kindness and thoughtfulness made our stay unforgettable. We met a couple at breakfast that have returned to stay here three years in a row. Additionally, the room is exceptionally clean and bathroom spotless. Location is perfectly central to everything you could need! There is paid parking all around the outside of Lucca, or you can walk. The two dogs were an added bonus, we loved saying hello to them when they were outside.

From the reception by the hostess Constanza and all the affection and attention with my family, everything is a 10. Spectacular breakfast with fresh and quality Italian products, not to mention the friendliness of Constanza's mother, Mrs. Agnese, who prepares delights for breakfast. The place is in a historic building and with a wonderful Tuscan garden.

There was nothing I disliked about the property.
This beautiful historic property is furnished in traditional Tuscan style with every comfort provided. It has secure parking on site but is within easy walking distance of central Lucca. Our room was charming and the bed was incredibly comfortable ensuring a great night’s sleep. Costanza the owner took great care to ensure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was outstanding and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Lovely accommodation in a quaint ex convent with a beautiful garden area, private and safe parking spot. High quality furniture, comfortable bed and beddings, excellent design, eye for decor. Homemade, high quality and plentiful breakfast catered personally in a beautiful and heart warming and homely setting. But the part that makes it everything worth it is the loving, hardworking, exceptional service and hospitality of Costanza and her mom, both committed to the guests comfort, cleanliness and care of the premises. Thank you ladies for everything! You are truly amazing and made us feel welcome. Would absolutely recommend and book again when in Lucca, which is a beautiful, walkable city just a 10-min walk from the bed and breakfast.

The immediate vicinity of the hotel is a bit bland, but a short 10m walk brings you to the city walls and another 10m to the centre.
The hosts were a lovely local family. They gave us great recommendations about restaurants and events. The breakfast was absolutely fabulous, especially the local pastries.
