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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

IrelandWe are a fit and able couple but would have to say its a bit of a treck into the centre of town all up hill. So may not suit less able bodied and you would need to drive
The owner was so helpful with his advice and the information he provided about Tuscany. Lovely accommodation and very comfortable setting.

CanadaHere’s a personalized and exceptional review for **Residence Villa Rioddi**: We had the pleasure of staying at Residence Villa Rioddi, and from the moment we arrived, it was clear that this place is something special. The villa itself is stunning, nestled in the hills with breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside, but what truly made our stay unforgettable was the warmth and hospitality of our host, Lucca. Lucca went above and beyond to make us feel at home. His attention to detail and genuine care for his guests created a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel like part of the family. Whether it was recommending the best local restaurants or sharing fascinating stories about the region, he was always there with a smile, making sure every aspect of our stay was perfect. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring fresh local ingredients and delicious homemade treats – the perfect way to start a day of exploring the stunning nearby towns like Volterra. If you're looking for a place that combines the charm of Tuscany with the comforts of home, Villa Rioddi is the place to be. Thank you, Lucca, for making our stay one we'll never forget! We can’t wait to return.

AustriaOur stay was fantastic all around. We could list everything the hotel has to offer as a positive. However, we were especially impressed by the exceptional regional and diverse breakfast, as well as the friendliness and warmth shown to us by everyone. The host was more knowledgeable than Google and very helpful. Perfect location, beautiful outdoor area, pool, and one of the most stunning views. The room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Highly recommended, and we would come back anytime.

United KingdomThe area of the hotel was tricky without the aide of taxis, as there were two major concerts in Volterra and all taxis were pre booked. That was no reflection on the hotel as Luca accommodated for the situation.
The pool was great as certain hotels in the area didn’t have pools, Luca, the owner was more than accommodating, taking me into Volterra free of charge. Offered different pillows options and mattress topper if needed. All the food at breakfast was top quality and locally grown.

A wonderful stay! I'd give it a 5 star rating! Luga, the owner, is passionate about helping his guests get the best experience while staying at his villa. The breakfasts were amazing. A beautiful view from our room. A terrific pool to go into after a day of nearby sightseeing. Our visit exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend staying here while visiting Tuscany.

AustraliaIts out of the centre of town and a bit far to walk to the centre.
we really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. We were sorry we didn’t spend another night in Volterra and definitely return again. The accommodation was perfect for our needs with a lovely pool area to relax and a super breakfast spread. In addition to eggs and all kinds of goodness I enjoyed a very delicious tiramisu cheesecake (yes for breakfast) sooooo good.

United KingdomThe AC in my room would be quiet then loud then quiet then loud. The decor is a little dated but that didn’t take away the beauty of the place.
It had everything that was needed. Friendly staff. The gentleman who owns the hotel was fantastic and even drove us up to the main part of the town and back in the evening. The breakfast was fantastic. A delicious array of things to choose from. The swimming pool was perfect, great temperature and size too. The views are incredible.
