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.).

AustriaThe hosts, Grazia and Oscar, are extraordinary, loving people with an amazing eye for details (in and outside the house). Their small "zoo" of animals (cats, dog, horse, frogs) is a bonus on top. Grazia's breakfast that you can order separately was super delicious and enjoying it in their beautiful garden was just lovely. An amazing spot for people who want to relax but also for those being on the road a lot that like to come home to a peaceful place after a long day of sightseeing. Grazia's and Oscar's (and the animals') hospitality and warmth and the feeling of living in such an old house with a lot of history are absolutely unique.

MoldovaWe just had the most incredible stay at Podere Pievina Delle Corti - Dimora di Campagna! From the moment we arrived, Grazia and Oscar, the hosts, welcomed us with open arms and the warmest smiles. Their hospitality made me feel like I was visiting long-lost friends. The medieval house is an absolute gem, exuding history and charm in every corner. It's like stepping back in time while still enjoying all the modern comforts. Each morning, I was treated to a true Italian breakfast that left me absolutely speechless. Homemade pastries, freshly brewed coffee, and a variety of local delicacies – it was a culinary journey we won't forget. The true treasure of Podere Pievina Delle Corti is undoubtedly the garden. Lush, vibrant, and impeccably manicured, it was the perfect place to relax, unwind, and soak in the beauty of the Tuscan countryside. We enjoyed lazy afternoons under the shade of trees, sipping local wine and feeling utterly content. During our stay at Podere Pievina Delle Corti, Grazia, our wonderful host, recommended some nearby cities and places to explore in the stunning Tuscan region, all easily accessible by car. The fluffy cats and dog added a charming touch to our stay. We can't wait to return and experience this beautiful place again. Grazie mille!

United StatesHaving to leave. What an excellent stay with so much to offer.
a number of very positive experiences each day. In the morning, birds singing, beautiful landscape out the bedroom window, anticipation of another wonderful breakfast created by Grazia along with a smooth cappucino or two. A stroll over to the area overlooking their property, their horse, the olive trees, and eastern view offered sense of Italian life. In a video we watched, Rick Steves had urged travelers to merge with the people and culture of Italy. We did right there, and what a reception. I enjoyed the discussions with Oscar and Grazia about Italian life, places to visit, local history, and water resources. Each day was magnificent. Their location is ideal for the traveler renting a car, Umbria and Tuscany exploration is ideal east or west in direction. Everything was reachable within 20 minutes to 45 minutes, depending upon own plans for the day. We returned each night around 10:30 or 11 pm as we absorbed so many experiences in key towns and countryside. The roads are excellent in access and condition. Local restaurants provide a fine meal, good wines, and hospitable hosts who share their insights about the area. The evenings were very quiet, receptive to the new explorer, offering rest and tranquility. And then, Emmie would look for you in the morning, wait, to escort you to your breakfast.

United StatesStaying with Grazia and Oscar in their beautiful Tuscan country home was an absolute dream. They are, first of all, one of the nicest and most welcoming couples we have ever met. As soon as we stepped foot onto their lovely property, we felt like we were becoming part of a family. Their home is an amazingly-preserved historical property with the most splendid garden and views of the sweeping countryside. Our room was very well furnished with an extremely comfortable bed and with our own bathroom just a quick step across the hall, and every morning Grazia would stock the fridge upstairs with water and sparkling juices to take with us on our daily adventures. We had the absolute best breakfasts handmade by Grazia every morning of our stay - freshly made pastries and cakes, savory treats, and homemade yogurt with fruits taken from their very own garden. My husband and I instantly fell in love with the couple's precious and spunky dog who would frolick in the garden or curl herself at our feet as we relaxed on the lounge chairs in the back garden or near the pool. One of the very best moments of our stay - and in fact one of the best moments of our whole trip to Italy - was being able to spend time with Grazia in her kitchen learning how to make several different types of pasta, and then enjoying what we had prepared for dinner on the patio with her and her husband. We talked outside for several hours until well past sundown, chatting and learning about each other's lives while we watched fireflies flicker around the lawn. It was magical! Neither my husband nor I wanted to leave on the last morning of our stay. But we certainly know that the next time we come back to Tuscany, we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else!

United Statesit was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing.
Breakfast was homemade and fresh from their home grown garden. Everything was truly wonderful. The room was clean and inviting. The bed was comfortable and the outdoor areas were beyond beautiful. Oscar and Gratzia have done an amazing job of rennovating this 17th century farmhouse and maintaing it's ancient character while providing all the comforts of home. My time at Podere Pievina was more than I could have asked for. The cooking class was so fun and the food was delicious!

The best guesthouse I've ever stayed in, and probably will ever stay in! Grazia and Oscar are the perfect hosts, we shared so many laughs, unbelievably good Tuscan food and greatly enjoyed our chats. We loved being around the cats, Emy the dog and Spin the horse too. The gardens were incredibly beautiful and the farmhouse has been lovingly and authentically restored. It was perfect. We can't thank Grazia and Oscar enough... an unforgettable experience staying with them. I wish we could stay every year.

BelgiumThe property is very charming, with it’s rustic feel and rolling hills surrounding it, we definitely wished we could have stayed longer. It is easily accessible by car and restaurants are within less than a 10 minute drive but you get to enjoy the lovely Tuscan countryside. The hosts Grazia and Oscar are very nice and lovely to chat with. Everything is done with a lot of care and a lot of attention is given to everything that is prepared for the breakfast/brunch and is locally sourced. Their pets are very cute.

SwitzerlandA beautiful house from 17th century with a great garden. The property has tree bedrooms upstairs for guests, with a common area including a big table and fridge and we were lucky to be there in easter time alone. The bed is absolutely amazing, great pillows, spacious room. Simple and cozy, it has everything you need. Great shower but a bit tide if you are tall as we are. Wonderful breakfast, made by Grazia herself (one of the owners), she is not just a sommelier, but a spectacular cook. We had 6 wonderful days exploring Tuscany staying here. It’s very well positioned, you can easily get into the main cities from 30 to 40 min away. Grazia and Oscar are wonderful people and we will definitely comeback.

ItalyAs soon as we have arrived at the Podere It was already clear that It would have been a wonderful weekend getaway. What we couldn't expect was your hospitality, your kindness and how passionate and pure people you would be. The home cooked dinner was simply awesome and we felt at home and this is not something that you are lucky enough to experience often. This place is simply lovely. But to be honest what really makes this place even more unique are you Grazia and Oscar.
