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.).

United KingdomI think it needs updating somewhat and small details are being missed such as someone attending the pool more and offering lunch/snacks. There is no air con in the rooms (the air con didn’t work) and the rooms are very basic and dated. We loved the history! The lady gave us a really good insight into this. I would end by saying - this is more of a 3 star hotel
Fernando was exceptional. What a lovely gentleman who really cares about his work and visitors. He really made the trip for us. The views are exceptional especially from the indoor dining room and pool

PortugalI believe that there is room for improvement in terms of cleanliness especially in the common areas. We had a very picturesque terrace in from of our room and the tables and chairs were never cleaned properly for us to be able to sit. Also, although the staff was extremely helpful, it seems that the property is understaffed because the tables in the common areas would remain with glasses and wine bottles for more than a day. Finally, the breakfast had the basics (also some local delicacies and amazing fresh fruit) but it lacked variety. We would be served the same delicious tart for three consecutive days without change.
The location of the villa is magnificent. It overlooks the beautiful hills of Tuscany and the gardens or the hotel per se are very well taken care of. The villa itself has a very unique rustic style with beautiful old furniture and ambiance overall. The couple that runs the place was always with a smile, very helpful and with nice suggestions on what to do! Also, when I had an issue with my mattress, they were amazingly quick to tackle and solve the issue, which is very much appreciated!

IsraelAs an early morning person I could not get any coffee before 8:00 AM. Signs of slight neglect are apparent in some parts of the villa. Water pressure in the bath is a bit low.
Rooms in the upper part are amazing, extremely spacious with beautiful old decor and a breath taking view of the forests and the vineyards. The lower rooms where our daughters slept are less impressive but open up directly to the swimming pool overseeing the same view.

GermanyThe room was noisy all night because of the old heating and the roof. We had horrible nights and couldn’t sleep at all. There was no windows but the door couldn’t be locked properly, anyone could break in. Breakfast was horrible. Eggs had poop on them and same eggs were served next days. The cake was from a supermarket and left on some random table in the lobby all the time and served next day. Cheap juice, cheap salami, cheap ham. We just had coffee one day, and next day skipped breakfast… all the good pictures they have are super old so there is no such good breakfast or good things left. At night it was super creepy because of unknown noises from outside and the roof. We mentioned that the room can't be locked safely and it was super noisy and the staff didn't do anything.

RomaniaFor us it was perfect
The atmosphere of perfect relaxation in an elegant Tuscan villa. The place is for the ones looking for authentic moments of italian summer, tranquility and respect for traditional values. The olive-trees orchiard and vineyrds, seen from the the windows of the library or living room - fully opened to the public- are unique. There is also a small chappel in the villa.. In addition, the services were great, we appeciated the fresh fruits at the breakfast and the overall cleanless.
