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 review⸻ We had such a wonderful stay at this charming family-run bed and breakfast. From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel so welcome, truly some of the kindest and loveliest people you could meet. Breakfast was homemade each morning and absolutely delicious, a real taste of local flavors. The rooms were spacious, beautifully kept, and spotless, making our stay so comfortable and relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.
The only small detail that could be improved is the green outdoor area, which would make the place even more perfect.

Verified reviewThe three days here have been extremely comfortable, unforgettable. The owner is a passionate musician who can offer great advice at any time, and he made our trip wonderful. The room is large and very comfortable, especially with the very unique, local and useful toiletries provided. If you encounter any problems during your stay, please contact the owner directly. On the first day we arrived, we got here too late and there was no hot water for a shower. it wasn't uncomfortable in the summer, so we didn't tell him. He noticed it quickly the next day, fixed it, and told us we should let him know immediately. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewWe had such an amazing stay at Podere Gonzaga! The staff was so so friendly, always a smile and making you feel so welcome. It was my husbands birthday and they gave us the biggest and prettiest room that was a picture perfect with a beautiful view on val d’orcia. Also a wine as a present and flowers when we left. The bed and shower was really comfortable. The podere was really clean and smelled delicious. The breakfast was small but all you needed with fresh products from the area (different meats, cheese and yoghurt) and home made pastery. Also lactose free milk was available for coffee. We felt safe and secure with the podere being closed at night and the private entrance with the gate. The location was close by (15-30 min) all the villages and must sees of val d’orcia. We had the best stay and would highly recommend.
Everything was perfect.

Verified reviewStaying at the Podere Gonzaga is like experiencing a little bit of Heaven. The podere sits in beautiful countryside and has been lovingly restored. The entrance hall and our room were spotlessly clean and welcoming. The first thing that greets you is the wonderful Tuscan fragrances used in the building. When you open your bedroom windows, you look out on to beautiful countryside and rustic scenery. The silence, especially at night, was only broken by the birdsong or occasional tractor. The owner Michele, is exceedingly kind and helpful. We visited with our toddler grandson and Michele provided a cot, high chair and microwave, which was just perfect. Michele also played the piano for our little grandson, which was a lovely touch (he is a very talented musician but seems to be very modest about this!). Michele also helped us to prioritise the places nearby to visit. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back. Thank you Michele (and Isabella and Daria) for sharing Podere Gonzaga with us for our brief stay!
There was absolutely nothing we didn't like about our accommodation - it was perfect!
