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.).

AustraliaWe loved our stay at Masseria Xireni. It was a breath of fresh air to stay in the countryside with such a beautiful view overlooking the mountains. We went to get a few groceries and dinner from the nearby town of Castellana Sicula and ended up having a wonderful time in the piazza with the locals enjoying an aperitovo. The hosts, although they spoke little English, did their absolute best to communicate and served up breakfasts with a great assortment. Silvia, their daughter, was a fem in translating for us. We decided to order dinner for our second night and were not disappointed. The 4 course meal, with wine, was delicious and full of all the freshly picked or local produce. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious, refurbished beautifully in the theme of the farmhouse. The pool was a bonus on the hot afternoons. I absolutely loved our stay at Masseria Xireni.

The owners let us taste the fruit straight out of their garden. So tasty! Everything about the stay was perfect! Very kind staff!

You can really taste the care and tradition in every bite. The atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming, and we truly felt at home. We only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of it.

Signor Mario is an example of a true and genuine hospitality. He went above and beyond of excellent, to take care of us and the other guests. He produces (with love) most of the food that was used for breakfast and dinner preparation and it was exceptional: seasonal farm produce so full of flavour. Possibly the most tasty tomatoes I’ve ever eaten! We loved Dina - the family dog :)

GermanyYou can have dinner at the hotel for 40€ per person with 4 courses of regional products and food from their own farm. Wine included. Every course was fantastic. Breakfast in the morning was also really good. The yoghurt was homemade. They have a dog, a lot of cats, 2 horses, 2 goats and chickens. There are a lot of comfortable sun beds at the pool and you can use everything you want. The room was really clean, AC was there.

United KingdomThis is a lovely family run place in a beautiful setting. The rooms are a good size and well equipped. Our room looked out over a beautiful orchard and a field with horses. The family is so welcoming and kindly showed our daughter the various animals they have. The food was absolutely delicious and mainly home grown and I would recommend having the dinner. There are some lovely villages a very short drive away. We would love to go back one day.
