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.).

FranceSlightly less comfortable than other we experienced in Toscane and the breakfast needs to be improved (local products and fruits and fresh juices for instance).
Very nice location, beautiful and calm in the middle of the Val of Chianti. This complex Agritourismo/hotel boutique is nice for family trip in the region.

United StatesI wish we had known our specific assigned cottages before we arrived. We also had a little mix-up with the hand-off from the winery tour / apertivo to dinner in the main space. But other than that, we had a great time!
We really enjoyed the winery tour and the wine tasting. We loved the different types of cottages and accommodations. Dinner and breakfast were delicious as well.

Germanyguest areas were not very well maintained. The gardener should have taken care of the pool area and the garden. everything was very wild and especially the pool area was not welcoming. Prices were too high for what you get. Especially the cooking course was not worth the money.
beautiful property in a very quiet spot. extremely nice staff that makes you feel welcome and comfortable.

IndiaWe had a villa type suite and given it's summer, for that space a single split AC wasn't enough. Maybe an extra portable fan or extra or larger AC unit would have helped. It'd be nice to have a basic coffee machine in the room - considering the price paid for the room, the location is very far from regular cafes/restaurants, and the hotel restaurant could serve only black tea in the afternoon.
The property is beautiful with the vineyards, olive trees, etc. and amidst the scenic hills. There is a large pool and a ping pong table too. Jason who attended to us at the reception was courteous and intro'd us to their wine & also helped arrange a veg menu for us for lunch.

BulgariaThe tiniest of details… missing some drinks options from the menu at dinner. Luckily the wine produced at the Casa Al Vento is more than enough to make up for missing out on an aperitif or digestif after dinner.
Friendly helpful staff that went above and beyond with their service and attitude. Food was consistently delicious and fresh. The room was exceptionally comfy and had everything we needed for a couple of nights escape in the countryside.

United KingdomA truly wonderful place to stay. It is a wonderful location amongst the vineyards and so peaceful with incredible views. The staff are exceptional. We also did a tour of the winery which was fabulous. The owner Francesco was warm and friendly and the food was excellent. Their own Chianti Classico is served and we were so impressed we bought 3 cases and shipped them back to the UK. We will certainly go there again.

FranceThe food is average at best and grossly overpriced (and the same goes for the cooking course). There are much much better options in the area at that price range. Service was also slow and unfriendly. The rooms are in some parts in bad condition, dark, and more importantly quite dirty (see pictures). Given the layout of the property, many rooms are also just above the kitchen or the restaurant, making them quite noisy at times.
Location on top of a hill, with 360° views over the vineyard and olive trees. Chianti wine from the property.

United StatesThe only almost negative is that it is a little off the beaten path, but we loved that so I guess it depends on what you are looking for. You will not be walking to restaurants other than the one on the property from here, but their restaurant is so good you don’t need to go anywhere else.
This place is completely beautiful. The rooms are lovely (highly recommend the garden suites with outdoor space, but there is lots of outdoor common space as well). The restaurant is absolutely amazing, we ate breakfast and dinner here for I think 6 of the 7 days we stayed. Everything is delicious but highly recommend the wild boar ragu and the truffle pasta and the fiorentina steak. And the tiramisu. We took a cooking class and leaned how to make pasta and the tiramisu, which was fun and delicious to eat the result afterwards. The staff is here wonderful, they will bend over backwards to make sure your stay is enjoyable and you have everything you need. And the wine is delicious, highly recommend taking the tour and doing the wine pairing dinner. We cannot wait to come back here.

AustraliaAfter reading some questionable reviews, we were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful this accomodation was. Our room itself was large, clean, air conditioned and what appeared like a newly renovated bathroom. The room was cleaned daily. While some fixtures are clearly older than others, it was part of the charm. They had great options for experiences hosted on site which allowed us to experience all we had hoped for by staying in the gorgeous Tuscan countryside. We personally loved the BBQ hosted on the Friday night which was a surprising touch. The food was amazing, accompanied by a beautiful bottle of their wine and live music. The wine tasting and cooking class were also great. Pool area was clean and great spot for relaxing. We are from Australia and would go out of our way to come back to this beautiful accomodation.

SwitzerlandMorning coffee could have had more punch. I know, I didn't think I'd say that in Italy. One could critique further but the charm of the place is that it's a friendly, family run place in a beautiful, secluded post at the end of the road. Relax and enjoy the place but if you want 5* 24/7 sterile service with a Tuscan view then look elsewhere.
A lovely retreat at the end of a dirt road - very much a place to go and have a few (or more) relaxed days off. We stayed over for a nearby wedding and wished that we'd been able to spend more time here since we would have like to have enjoyed more the food, wine and olive oil that was on offer. Much to be recommended :o)
