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.).

AzerbaijanJust a minor issue for cold season, the heating is turned on at about 5 pm then it's turned off after 10 pm and in the morning at 7 it was on again. since the rooms are big and the ceilings are very high, so it was quite cold at nights. It'll be better to keep it turned on at least till 5 am in the morning and then just leave it off till 5 pm/or keep it a low level, that it keeps the room warm. I was sleeping under 2 blankets :)
The facilities are very clean, it's quite a big place, the rooms are big, there are few bathrooms, hairdryer.

ItalyWe had a private bathroom but all of the shared showers on the floor below us were not divided into male/female stalls---something for them to think about in the future or during summer months when I am sure the place will be packed. This place is definitely not for anyone who has trouble climbing stairs. There is no elevator and our room was on the top floor. There were two flights of stairs and four stairs in our room since the bed was upstairs from the entrance and the bathroom. Also, all those arriving by car need to be aware that Cortona is a medieval town and all of the roads are very narrow.
This is a beautiful, renovated hostel which just reopened in April 2024. We had the only matrimonial/double bed for two with a private bathroom and shower. I have to say that the room was clean, large, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. There was also a place to hang clothes and lots of drawers. Towels and soap were also provided The best thing about the room was the beautiful (and very special) view of the Cortona countryside with a view of the lake. It was quiet and it didn't feel cold inside the building. There were just enough blankets and the room was warm enough (even with the window ajar) during the night we spent there in October. There were also enough lights and a small desk. The woman, Paola, who greeted us upon our arrival, was very kind and friendly and provided us with tips and all the information we needed. There was a lovely and good sized dining area which would make this place a great destination for big groups.

Japanit's quiet and calm place for staying. they are not busy and i was happy to stay there. the staff is nice, and their facility such as toilet and shower are enough. booking .com says towel and linen needs extra fee though, they are not. i was thinking to visit antique market in Arezzo, so i did extra stay at there. when i stay in Cortona, the medieval market and fair had happened on weekend. so i could enjoyed nice evening until sunset time.

Very charming hostel in an old nun convent situated in a perfect point of cortona, between the central square and the fortress. The staff of the hotel is really super nice. In particular Francesca gave me very good tips about cortona and was very very helpful and nice. Highly recommended!!

AustriaI didn't like that there was no staff after I think 6:30 -7pm. The reception and common area was closed from early evening. There was only one other person staying there at the time I was there and I had this enormous cold echoey dorm all to myself, absolutely no atmosphere. I couldn't make the bedside light work and couldnt find any staff to help me. Overall the facility was fine, clean and quite cheap, just no atmosphere, characterless place, felt a little like a convent (which it might have been in the past). No outside space and no common area past 7pm either.
Nice location, nice staff, however reception was closed from about 6 or 7pm, no staff anywhere. It was cheap and I'm happy there was a hostel option in Cortona, but need to work on creating some atmosphere. Could do with some nice common areas, outdoor space etc. Needs a bit of character and life

FinlandWe only chose this accommodation because all other options were fully booked during the national holiday. Shared rooms with bunk beds are not good for middle-aged couples. There were all kinds of noise coming from the other guests in the room and in the corridor. The lights in the corridor also brightened the room when somebody turned them on. The room was cold because of an open window.
The location was great for exploring Cortona by foot. The hotel offers free parking space in the vicinity. The staff was friendly.
