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.).

AustraliaThis is our second time staying at this hotel in Volterra, it’s in a perfect location to walk throughout the old town, to restaurants and a public car park is only a 5 min walk. The breakfast was lovely. The rooms are cleaned daily and done immaculately. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.

United StatesHonestly, this isn't even a big deal but the bar downstairs could be a bit more spread out. It felt a bit awkward to grab a drink downstairs. That being said, it did not detract from our stay at all! They were incredibly welcoming and lovely staff/owners!
The staff was amazing! The woman who checked us in gave us great instructions to get there, and then great directions to park our car! The location of the hotel was absolutely perfect! We walked out the front door and two mins later, we were in the main piazza. It's located really close to a farmacia, restaurants, churches, etc. The layout of the floors were goofy but I think it's because they connected with another building to expand. The elevator was ideal since we had some heavier luggage (travelling with a baby requires more stuff than you'd think!). It was a perfect sized room for my husband and baby, we had plenty of room. The room even had a little patio that we sat out on and had a glass of wine. They graciously provided a baby cot for my son to sleep in so we were able to get some good sleep since he was safe in his bed!

United KingdomWe would have liked a bit more natural light in our room. We upgraded for the bigger room but perhaps would have been better to stay in our original room which would have been on a higher floor?
The hotel was in an excellent location, near the car park and all the main sights. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable and king size! There was a nice selection for breakfast and the staff were very attentive.

ItalyOut of the window I had a wall less then two meters away, in the alley. But I realize that in an historical area, it cannot be otherwise.
The bed was very nice. I had a relexing night. Breakfast with many pies. And the bathroom was really nice, with a big shower.
