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.).

The property is beautifully designed with great attention to detail. Maurizio was so friendly. He met us at the appointed time and explained everything and gave recommendations for local restaurants and cafes. Well stocked kitchen area for self-service breakfast. We had the room with balcony which was a lovely peaceful place to eat breakfast and to chill with coffee and their beautiful orange cake after a busy day sightseeing.

“Great option in central Siena.”
• Leisure trip
• Couple

Great place to stay in Siena. Maurizio could not have been more pleasant or helpful and met us on arrival. The location is is excellent (an easy walk to everyhing in central Siena) so it was a fantastic base for us and we could easily go in and out during the day if we wanted to leave or collect something from the room. We had the larger room option, and so had the benefit of the small balcony and we would recommend choosing that room, if you have a choice. Breakfast was excellent and there was plenty of choice and even an excellent cake. We would definitely recomment to friends and family looking to stay in Siena. Wishing you all the best for the future. Andrew and Vanessa

My boyfriend and I arrived earlier than the check-in time, and Maurizio was kind enough to let us leave our bags early so we didn’t have to carry them around.
A lovely apartment with a private bathroom and a kitchen we shared with other guests. Great breakfast options and very tasty cookies that were always available (rumor had it they were baked by Maurizio’s wife).
Maurizio is incredibly friendly, service-minded, and gave us lots of great advice on what to see and do in Siena. It’s always a pleasure to meet people who are passionate about what they do, and Maurizio is truly one of them. He genuinely cared about making sure we had a great stay. If you're planning to stay in Siena, I can highly recommend this accommodation!

We loved our time at Fonte Gaia. Highly recommend. Location is great. Not far from escalators if hills are a problem. Breakfast arrangements were plentiful and delicious, with a special treat of home baked cake. Our hosts were fantastic. Maurizio was welcoming, warm, friendly and generous. Can’t wait to come back very soon.

The place is 200.meters from the center but there is a steep ascent.and people with disabolities may find it problematic.
The rooms are modern, nicely decorated and clean. The kitchen propely equipped and the self served breakfast nice and plenftiful. The owners are attentive and helpful.

“Lovely place on which to center a stay in Sienal”
• Leisure trip

The "art deco" decor was fresh and appealing and everything new and very clean. Owner Mauricio's enthusiasm for the place was contagious and he went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is just a few steps away from the hustle bustle of the main streets and therefore peaceful, and we enjoyed the little balcony attached to our room with the view of the Sienese rooftops. Also just short distance down the street is the series of six long escalators that will take you up to the level of the Duomo. We used them a lot! Siena is very hilly!

There was almost nothing I did not like. Note though, this is not a hotel. There are only two (exquisite) rooms with some shared space. No 24hr reception or elevator.
I have staying in many places over the last few months and will remember these rooms as the most beautiful. Fantastic location.
