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.).

The incredibly gorgeous views around the Torre rival Sonny and Alba’s warmth and hospitality. We could not have chosen a better “base camp” between Florence and Siena and all of the charming little towns in between. Their home is cozy and we rarely even heard other guests, despite knowing they were there. So much learned through Sonny and Alba’s sharing their knowledge and experiences, and we will treasure our time spent there forever.

United KingdomNothing - we loved it all! But you do need a car when staying here.
The location is amazing - right in the heart of Tuscany Chianti region. Gorgeous farmhouse with incredible views, rooms that feel like home from home, and a pool for when you want to chill after exploring! Sonnie and Alba were amazing hosts - every recommendation they gave us was phenomenal! From wine tasting, to parking in Sienna to local restaurants - they can’t do enough for you and are such lovely people. Would definitely recommend this for a truly rustic Tuscan experience and would love to go back!

GermanyNothing - we are still enthusiastic. But it should be clear to everyone that it is very quiet there and you need a car.
We were able to book the tower room for 9 nights at very short notice and were thrilled. Andrew and Alba are the warmest and most accommodating hosts we have ever met - and we have been around the world a bit. We did a few day trips during the 10 days and Alba was able to give us a few culinary insider tips for each destination. The two of them were also always available for a chat and we learned a lot about life in Tuscany. Tip: Be sure to ask Alba about the olive oil tasting. The pasta cooking course with Wilma was also great - after that you simply appreciate homemade pasta. The house is idyllically situated amidst several hectares of olive trees and vines, and you can look out over the countryside for miles from the general terrace. Perfect to watch the sunset in Tuscany with a glass of wine or beer and some sausage and cheese. Via a straight and well-maintained dirt road, you are on the next paved road after about 500m and in 5min. in Barberino Val d'Elsa (definitely visit the Triocco restaurant) or in 10min. in Poggibonsi (the supermarket there is huge and offers a large selection of Chianti wines and other souvenirs). Even though it may look like it on Google Maps, walking to the nearest restaurant (restaurant tip: La Sosta di Pio VII) is too far and dangerous, especially at night, because of the narrow streets without footpaths. Our room was the 2-storey tower room. The well-equipped kitchen (gas cooker, large fridge with freezer, etc.) is on the 1st floor and the bedroom and bathroom are on the 2nd floor. There is air conditioning in the large bedroom and a beautiful view of Tuscany from the windows. All in all, Andrew and Alba have more than fulfilled our expectations with Torre Di Ponzano. We were very sad when the 10 days were over and we had to move on. We will definitely come back.
