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.).

United StatesEverything was enjoyable.
Everything! The location was central to all the places we wanted to visit. The property is surrounded by nature and the house surrounds you with warmth and welcome. Our room had a lovely view of one of the several gardens and the extra large bathroom was gorgeous. Manuela gave us a wonderful tour of the grounds and presented us with a perfect breakfast each morning. She and Mario gave us excellent tips on places to go and specialty shops and museums to see to fit our interests. The dinner our first night at the family restaurant a few minutes down the road was exquisite. Comfortable and welcoming … everything brought to our table was flavorful and delicious. With exceptional service. We enjoyed several evenings downstairs in the main living room in front of the large fireplace spending time with other guests. Truly an experience we won’t soon forget.

PolandEverything was perfect.
We spent 3 days in La Lodola. A beautifully situated villa, perfect as a starting point for exploring Tuscany. Manuela - energetic, with an amazing sense of humor and Mario, who is the heart of this place, are incredibly hospitable. We always felt welcome and taken care of, as if we were visiting good friends. Great breakfasts prepared with local products, fresh fruits and cakes and delicious coffee. The apartment was very atmospheric and clean, cleaned every day. A wonderful swimming pool with a view of the sunset. A perfect stay in a perfect place. I can't wait to come back :)

United KingdomWe had the best holiday at La Lodola. Mario and Manuela were so welcoming and friendly and really made the stay wonderful. All of Manuela’s recommendations of places to visit and eat were fantastic and their restaurant topped any other we went to with the most delicious fresh food. We were sad to leave and can’t wait to go back to this slice of heaven.

Villa la lodola is an amazing place sitting in the hills of Tuscany! Old rustic stone house in beautiful condition, the owners are super nice and helpful! There is a big pool, nice garden, good breakfast and you can use the old restaurant kitchen which is fantastic! They also run their own gourmet restaurant and use a lot of products from their own fields! It is a short drive away! Despite the location offers amazing surroundings you will need the car to go anywhere

United KingdomEverything was great!
What a fantastic find this place was! We had the most amazing experience, from Manuela messaging, to say a glass of wine will be waiting for us when we arrive. To the lovely (typical Tuscan 4 course) dinner they put on for us and other guests, as it was our first night. Manuela, Carlo & Mario, could not do enough for us! In just a few hours, we felt like we were at home with wonderful friends. The setting was beautiful, the pool was lovely & the fact everything we ate was produced on their organic farm, was second to none. The breakfast & coffee was delicious as was the homemade cake Mario baked every morning. The snacks, Manuela left us in case we were hungry along with the wine were incredible! The attention to detail was outstanding, we will most certainly be back - with others, to experience this amazing Tuscan hospitality again!

Thank you Manuela, Carlo and Mario. We had a wonderful 2 week stay at your beautiful B&B villa! The sincere attention you get from the hosts is heartwarming. They are there for you at all times. There is the possibility to use the kitchen for lunches and/or dinner. Their own restaurant is a must visit! Beautiful fresh prepared dinners with lots of ingredients from their own kitchen garden. Just delicious! Rooms are cleaned every day and even our own pillows were washed. Service wise this is the best stay we ever had!

Beautiful country home with a warm host. Impeccably clean, excellent breakfast, lovely garden. The house is beautifully appointed with historical elements and the host is very happy to share the history of the house and its contents. Whether you stay here, you must try their restaurant (husband is the chef), which is 5 min by car! Convenient location to visit the sites of Tuscany.

CroatiaI liked so many things about this place, breakfast was excellent, quality of food, quality of ingredients on top level. We will remember this place forever because of the fantastic smell of morning coffee made with mocha. I can still feel the wonderful taste of the cakes Mario made. Entire villa, rooms, living room, dining room, everything breathes in unique antique atmosphere. The garden is full of trees, flowers, fruit and all kinds of plants, like a little paradise on earth. The views from the rooms, the views from the pool area are unbelievably amazing. However, all this is just a tiny fraction of the impression you will get when you meet Mario and Manuela. They took our stay to a whole new level. I am on the road every week and I really do travel a lot, but this level of hospitality is something that you rarely get to see. In fact, it's much more than hospitality. It was like being with friends or family. Tuscany is a beautiful region, but these two people have embedded their inspiration in our memories and made our visit fascinating. Thank you, Mario and Manuela, for all you have done for us, for your precious advice, for allowing us to connect with history, past and present. Thank you for allowing us to feel the culture and life of Tuscany in a way that no hotel can.
