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 hotel is right in the centre of the town near to the sights and restaurants. But be aware it is on a steep hill. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a good selection for breakfast. We had a junior suite with a good sized bathroom with shower and with a small balcony which offered a lovely view across the roof tops.

SwedenRoom lacked a view but given the location and that we only stayed 1 night it was fine anyway.
Perfect location inside the gates of Volterra (public parking very close) on the main street yet calm. Very nice room (Superior double), spacious and with a small outdoor area. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was nice.

United StatesJust a minor inconvenience, but the electrical connectors were a little hard to reach from the bed, even with a 3m cord. I had to unplug the mini fridge to access a plug. The single bed was too small for me and the covers kept coming off, but I'm used to sleeping in a larger bed.
Helpful, friendly hosts. New, clean facilities, modern, comfortable, tastefully decorated. Amazing array of breakfast choices. Comfortable self-serve breakfast area. Delicious pastries.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like.
Exceptionally helpful and welcoming staff. Our bicycles were safely stored in the Bar. I think that couldn't happen if they were busy, but it was very accommodating of them. Our room was a bit small, but we knew that because it was one of the cheaper rooms. The location is right in the centre of Volterra with lots of places to eat nearby. The breakfast (€15 each) was outstanding with both savoury and sweet offers. There were tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

CanadaIt's winter, so the staff are only there for a brief time. The room and the hotel are accessible, but only if you're with an able bodied friend -- which I was. The accessible door has to be opened from inside, by someone who can climb stairs. The staff aren't there to do it for you. You need a friend. Fortunately I had one, but if I'd been alone I'd have had to haul myself up three steps. This is really my sole complaint. The room was accessible and so was the bathroom, with a shower stool and lots of room.
The hotel is very central, on a very steep hill (all of Volterra is very steep hills) on a very beautiful charming old street with excellent nearby shops and restaurants. The room was lovely, with a double bed and a single, and lots of luxuries like bathrobes and a bowl of candy . The staff were super helpful and generally great.

United StatesAlthough they were accessible and very friendly, they are down a steep incline about 1/4 down the hill. My ECV (limited 10 degree inclines) couldn’t handle it going up. Going down was no problem. Also, perhaps since I traveled at the end of October, the reception was open for limited hours. In the end, it worked out fine for us but I didn’t know it in advance.
Beautiful small boutique hotel with an elevator near parking (closest?) in the heart of Volterra. Very clean, spacious rooms and bathrooms. VERY helpful concerning my ECV and mobility concerns. Excellent staff.
