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.).

South AfricaWe stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with magnificent views over the valley and San Gimignano. it is located a couple of kilometres outside of San Gimignano among many farms, so it is really peaceful. Fabio gave use advise about the area and where to find what.

DenmarkThe sun beds could be better, and there could be for all also.
AMAZING VIEWS of Toscany, San Gimignano, Certaldo and more, just breathtaking. Great pool area, and all is very private and secluded. Just our style. The rooms are big and spacious. We had 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, a very spacious apartment in all, huge kitchen/diner that was very well equipped. Many spaces outside to enjoy, very local restaurants just around the corner.

United KingdomThere is nothing not to like.
An idyllic location with a magnificent view of San Gimignano over a stunning Tuscan panorama. Florence and Sienna are within easy reach. The property has been lovingly and sympathetically restored and is comfortable and spacious even with our group of 5 adults. Fabio is a charming, welcoming but discreet host.

United KingdomOur stay was outside the dates in which air conditioning was available despite it being very nearly 30° each day, we could have done with a fan as this would have stopped the bugs coming in during the evening.
The location is amazing, the accommodation was lovely and Fabio was extremely helpful, giving us useful information on the local facilities.

United KingdomThe smell of Devil's Valley takes some getting used to. Guests in apartment above were noisy and their movements echoed a bit through the floor/ceiling.
Fabio is a very friendly host (happiest when riding his scooter, I think). The apartment was spacious and very attractive and comfortable. Amazing view.

United StatesOnly (minor) complaints: the wifi was very slow; and the kitchen could have been a bit better stocked with essentials for cooking. We ate lunches out and dinners in every day and there were barely any kitchen cooking staples included as there are at most rentals of this kind.
We weren't really sure what to expect but Podere Le Grotte exceeded our expectations handily. Lots of space for our family of four, very comfortable and the location and views couldn't be beat. The pool was nice after hot Tuscan days. And the air-conditioning--on from 6 pm to 8 am--was very effective.

CanadaThe only thing I can think of is that the bugs were quite bad while we were there, but that's not Podere le Grotte's fault! Some citronella candles for the patio might have been a nice touch, but probably not necessary for most travellers.
We had the loveliest stay at Podere le Grotte! Everything was perfection, and it was like being in the most beautiful painting. My kids loved the pool, and we loved the stunning scenery, the comfortable apartment, and gorgeous patio. We had everything we needed, and felt so comfortable and taken care of. We would happily return!

DenmarkAt Podere Le Grotte we had the best time. Staying in a really nice flat with 2 bedrooms and stunning views. It’s a quiet place and safe surroundings that really made us relax. You need a car to get around, but San Gimignano is 10 minutes away. Certaldo 20 min. away. Florence, Pisa, Volterra, Siena, Montepulciano - all within reasonable driving distance. Host is so nice and we can only give our warmest recommendations to come stay here.

PolandThe apartment could be better equiped in some basic commodities such as salt, sugar or coffee. Other than this - the place really does not have any drawbacks.
The location is just excellent - splendid views. Also the apartment was very enjoable - comfortable, spacious and well equiped. We enjoyed private terrace with a grill, swimming pool and deckchairs. The host was caring and even prepared a welcome gift. :)
