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.).

Great location, just a short walk (150 m) from Piazza del Campo but in a very quiet neighborhood , and close to Parking Santa Caterina. The host, Maurizio, arranged the permit to enter the ZTL zone to drop our luggage and to easily access the Santa Caterina parking. Excellent communication with the host. Maurizio and Adriano sent us very clear instructions on how to access the premises. The room was spacious, very comfortable and nicely decorated and everything was extremely clean. Beautiful view overlooking the tower of the Duomo. There is a cute and welcoming space for breakfast with a small kitchen with everything you need to have breakfast (cheese, cold cuts, yoghourt, milk, etc…) , coffee machine and delicious homemade cake by Glenda. Wonderful hosts, cozy room and top location ….that’s why we highly recommend staying at Fonte Gaia experience

Our best stay while in Italy, Maurizio was an absolute legend. Some of the best hospitality we have had in Italy, with homemade cake and biscuits, cold meats and cheese and fresh coffee provided, also all the helpful local tips on restaurants and attractions in the area. Can’t say enough good things about this place you just have to go there.

We have a great time at the Fonte Gaia Experience. The hosts (Maurizio and Glenda) are very kind and helpful. I would like to highlight Glenda's delicious cookies and cakes that she made for breakfast. My sister is gluten sensitive, so she baked a special cake for her and prepared gluten-free biscuits and rusks into the room. Exact information was provided for the use of the apartment. We could contact them at any time with our questions. We have never met such a hospitable accommodation, if we travel to Siena again we will definitely choose them.

IrelandStaying at Fonte Gaia Experience is definitely an experience and a wonderful one at that. The accommodation is a few minutes walk from Piazza del Campo - so convenient. Maurizio was like our personal tour/restaurant guide and not just for Siena as, when we told him we were travelling on to Perugia, he sent us restaurant/ice cream tips. Eat where he suggests as he knows his food. He also arranged a permit so we could drop our bags outside the house and arranged parking a few minutes walk away. The bed was so comfortable, the shower has great pressure and a lovely big TV with Netflix. You will not find hospitality like this anywhere else in Siena. Maurizio genuinely cares about his guests and their enjoyment in his adopted City. We feel like we have made a lifelong friend. I wouldn't stay anywhere else when I return.

NetherlandsSince an old building, the sound proofing is not ideal: both between the shared kitchen / dining area and your room, a bit awkward, and from the street in front. Although not busy, you will hear every car passing by.
Conveniently located in the city centre of Siena, within 200-500 meters walking distance of all the main attractions. The accommodation is on the second floor of an old building. Stairs to get to your room. It is completely refurbished and very nicely decorated, combining modern with original elements of the old building. The floor consists of two separate rooms (for different guests) with a shared kitchen / dining area with 2 tables in between the two rooms. Very near the car park Santa Caterina, owner can arrange reduced EUR25 day rate for you. The owner is very attentive and enthusiastic, and will give you all the information you need for your stay in beautiful Siena.

United StatesNothing bad to say about this place.
The locations is excellent, near the Campo but off the beaten track in a residential neighborhood and very quiet. The accommodations are extremely well done with amazing attention to detail: beautiful tiles and wall coverings, excellent lighting, good mattresses, a really well-done bathroom, and in my room, a walk-in closet for stashing things out of the way. I especially appreciated the communal lounge, which provided another place to work, relax, and enjoy takeaway meals. Maurizio is hospitable by nature and his friendly presence really enhanced the stay. I look forward to a return visit.

It was one of the best accommodations during my over 20 years of travel. The location is about 3 minutes to the Piazza del Campo by walk, and the restaurants and shopping places are within walking distance. The accommodation was perfectly clean, and despite the cold weather outside, the heating system was perfect . The water pressure was good, and the hot water came out well. The living room had coffee, soymilk and cookies to wake me up. They informed me before I arrived, so I was able to park easily and cheaply in the nearby indoor parkIng lot. It was perfect place that made the wonderful Siena even more wonderful. Next time you come to Siena, you will definitely come here
