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 reviewMy wife and I spent three unforgettable nights at Villa San Michelle, and it was truly the highlight of our time in Tuscany! Nestled in a charming little town near San Gimignano, this beautiful gem is lovingly run by the wonderful Stefania and Roger. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and completely at home. Everything about our stay was exceptional, the rooms are elegant and comfortable, the hospitality is beyond compare, and the food... simply divine. All the food, including the olive oil and homemade jams, is lovingly prepared by Stefania herself, and you can truly taste the care and tradition in every bite. What made our stay even more special was the personal attention Stefania and Roger gave us. Every day, they took the time to help us plan our itinerary, offering thoughtful suggestions and even making restaurant reservations for us. Their warmth and dedication made us feel like cherished guests rather than just visitors. We've stayed in many places over the years, but nothing has come close to the magic of Villa San Michelle. If you have the chance to visit their place, don’t miss it, it will be the peak of your trip.
Thank you so much Dor! Super long and detailed review that I am sure will help future guests in choosing to stay with us in the future. It was really a pleasure to welcome you both at Villa San Michele and we are very happy to read that you enjoyed your time here. We hope you will keep making our Italian recipes and if you want more you have my number of course :-) have a great summer and hope to see you soon!

Verified reviewThe villa is beautiful and the location very good for visiting Chianti and Siena. However, the true value of this villa and of our stay was given by the people! Stefania and Roger and everyone working with them are outstanding! Stefania helped us with execellent recommendations for dinner or cantinas to visit, she made the reservations for us and offered us valuable advice for each day's route and programme. All these services made our vacation more relaxing and added value to our days. The breakfast is outstanding as well. Every day with freshly made food with km 0 ingredients. Absolutely recommending Villa San Michele!
Everything was great!

Verified reviewVery well kept, lovely property, clean house and clean soroundings, parking spots close to the house. Coffe, tea and bisquits available all the time, it would be a good ideea to have water available as well, as you cannot find a store nearby, especially in the evening time. The hosts are very nice and helpfull, the breakfast is also good with fresh products.
The bed matress is too soft and the bed is quite small for two person.
Thank you so much Adi for your review and very nice words about us and our Bed and Breakfast. It was a pleasure to meet you both and we hope you will come back for a longer stay, if times allows it. Apart from the 2 bottles of water in the room at check in, we do sell water (and soft drinks/beer/wine) and there is a free water machine to refill your bottles just a couple of minutes walk from our Bed and Breakfast (but maybe I missed telling you at check in - sorry!). As far as our beds, they are EU king size (160x200) but we can understand that maybe some guests might be used to bigger beds.

Verified reviewStef and Roger are open, friendly and have always a good recommendation for activities, citys and restaurants. They make you feel very welcomed. The breakfast is very good, and also their wine selection. We recommend to at least stay one day at the pool and relax with a good wine in and around the pool and to end your day with a visit at the nearby restaurant.

Verified reviewOut stay was absolutely incredible! Thanks to amazing hosts Stef and Roger who were attentive to every single detail, providing extensive information about Tuscany, attractions, nearby cities, where to park, what to see (there was even a guide of 63 (!!!) pages about everything you might want to know about your time spent in Tuscany)! Breakfast is deeeelicious, freshly cooked and baked, room was exceptionally clean and cosy. We really recommend to book the room with the terrace - breakfast was served in our own space - very lovely. We felt absolutely amazing in the Villa San Michele and really hope to come back soon. Personal touch and care of the hosts made a huge difference.
