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 view from the balcony is stunning! The room is decorated beautifully, and the shower is wonderful.
It was difficult to get to the property with our suitcases, as the roads are steep, and we needed to park our car outside of the city.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback, I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your stay here. A reminder for future guests.. This region of Tuscany is mountainous. Many of the villages and towns are hilltop, Barga being typical. I agree the location might not suit everyone. Numerous photos and written descriptions are included in the property details/reservation confirmation, including where to park and how to reach the house - with the offer of help with bags (and advice to travel light if possible) Julie

Verified reviewWe spent a night in Barga as my wife celebrated her birthday. Everything is as described - view from the room is amazing. Everything was clean, room was very spacious. We visited Barga in November and room was very warm. We learned that this house is quite new, however it has built in Italian style like classic old house, and we felt very welcome. Room was really quiet, but at the same time it is located in the old, beautiful, historic center. Bed was big and comfortable, all amentities were provided (shampoo, shower gel, towels). Julie is a very nice person, we had an opportunity to spent together some time during the breakfast, which was amazing, Julie asked precisely what we want to eat and we were offered such breakfast. Barga is a beatufil place, if we decide to spend once again time there, we will come back to this place.
There is nothing what we could dislike here.
I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay here and thank you very much for taking time to submit this greatly appreciated review It means a lot Also thanks for leaving everything clean and tidy Very best wishes to you both Julie

Verified reviewThis is one of the most beautifully appointed little apartments I’ve ever seen, in a spectacular setting. Julie was wonderfully welcoming, as was everyone we met in Barga. What a gem this place is! I especially love how it blends the old and new.
Nothing wrong, unless you have trouble on hills and steps.

Verified reviewJulie was very attentive and ensured our stay met our needs. Barga is a wonderful place to visit. The views are breathtaking and there is plenty of choice of quality places to eat.
I would suggest packing light as the location is in the "old town", thus requiring you to physically take your cases up steep walkways where cars are not permitted.
Thank you, this really means a lot and I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay - I too enjoyed having you both here and wish it had been longer Regarding travelling light - yes, of course I completely agree with you. Not always possible for some guests and I don't hide the fact that the house stands high in the town in a steeply stepped 'walkway' The name is also indicative of position! This is useful feedback Thanks again and best wishes Julie

Verified reviewVery clean. Very modern. Balcony. Great location. Private entrance.
Breakfast was not included for us at this “B&B.” We had to go elsewhere for breakfast of coffee and croissants. The owner/proprietor said she needed more than the 12 hour verbal notice we had given her. We had booked more than 24 hours ahead of time! Accommodation was located on a steep hill, with a couple of flights of narrow stairs to access it. This was no problem for us but could be for guests with mobility issues or cumbersome luggage.
To clarify a couple of misunderstandings.. Breakfast is an optional 'extra' as clearly stated in the booking details It is rarely taken by guests; I prepare approximately 3 breakfasts a year. Most guests prefer to eat out, enjoy the Italian experience I'm very happy to provide breakfast, my breakfasts are a wide assortment of fresh produce and require pre-planning These guests did not book breakfast with the accommodation booking - as their booking confirmation states, there was no meal option with the room - but asked on the evening of their arrival, a Saturday, if I could provide it. It was impossible for me to buy the necessary ingredients either that night or the following (Sunday) morning The nearest (excellent) bar for breakfast is just 1-2 minutes' walk from the house

Verified reviewLoved this place. It's at the top of a beautifully designed house, with an independent entrance. The design of the room is fantastic, with every detail carefully thought out. The standout is the terrace which has views of Barga and the mountains and beyond. The host is very friendly and helpful. Fantastic place to stay.
Usually summer nights are in the mountains are cool, but if you hit a heatweave the room does get hot and a fan would make it more comfortable at night.
Thanks for all your kind words, they're greatly appreciated Usually nights are cooler; unfortunately you were here when the temperature didn't drop much Historically (11years now) there hasn't been a need for air-conditioning and I can only suggest to guests that they avoid july & august if the summer temperatures might be a problem. Just a week after your departure we're back to much cooler nights To have a fan running all night would necessitate increasing prices significantly and I'm reluctant to do this... I really enjoyed meeting you both, you'll always be very welcome Julie
