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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

PolandThe room smelled a bit "old" but that's understandable in the building of its age. The room was also a little bit cold (trip in late October), colder than outside actually
The Palazzo is a group of separate Agroturismos, but all are looking amazing. The main Palazzo with the reception and wine tasting is amazing, and the Agroturismos that we stayed in (2 minutes away by car) was very charming and exactly like on pictures. Breakfast was delicious, served by wonderfully pleasant staff, who was very helpful and kind

LithuaniaWish we’ve had stayed longer!
Simply wow - the are itself is huge, with 3 different buildings. The main one looks like a castle and is stunning - if You go down a bit the main road, You will find an ‘insta-worthy’ spot to take a pic of it! So my advice - book this place and see it up close! The host was very friendly, gave us a glass of locally produced vine! As they produce if themselves, You can buy it at the store and have it shipped to Your home! I should mention that we lived in a building further to the main castle, but we liked it a lot! As it didn’t have the pool before, the owners even built one, for the guests’ convevience! The place itself was very well maintained, yet rustic. I lived the breakfast - it was so cosy and nice, the selection if local food was great. All in all this place provides an amazing overall experience. Go there and You will not want to leave!

United StatesI couldn’t give this place more than 10 stars - they deserve at least 15.
My husband and I came here to elope, and Palazzo Massaini exceeded all of our expectations by miles. The scenery was gorgeous, the rooms comfortable, the wine refreshing. But most of all the staff went above and beyond to give us the best experience we’ve ever had anywhere. After searching for scenic places to have our ceremony, we were surprised that Palazzo Massaini was the only place who wouldn’t charge us thousands just to use their grounds (non-exclusively) for an afternoon. They gave us a very fair rate, and they even gave us some bottles of wine as a gift. We also slept in late one morning and missed breakfast, and their staff pulled all of the breakfast foods out of the fridge just for us to make sure that we wouldn’t miss a meal. And that’s just one example of many more!

United KingdomThe pool of our particular farmhouse was not available for us, so we had to drive to the other one each time, 2minute drive, but you cannot walk it The room is not luminous, very small windows, perhaps that’s on perhaps to keep the rooms cool?
The location is gorgeous, you feel secluded and it’s very peaceful, yet 10minutes to the centre of pienza and 15 to montepulciano. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. I also really enjoyed their white wine. Breakfast was nice, coffee was great

BrazilNo complaints! The only suggestion would be to have a small selection of snacks or even a bread basket for purchase at the property, as the winery has no restaurant (apart from the breakfast, which was really good!!)
The service was exceptional, the hosts were extremely welcoming and made us feel at home. The welcome drink was a lovely surprise, the Rose wine was refreshing and it set the tone for our entire visit. We will most definitely come back to this hotel.
