Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PolandThe only thing that would work in plus would be TV set with internet connection. Sometimes when we travel the whole family we like to watch Netflix in the evenings.
We had a really lovely stay there. We stayed in 6-persons appartment and it was really large and well equipped. Host is very nice and helpful. Swimming pool is great and well maintained. Kitchen had everything we needed. Quiet surroundings, nature and short drive to Volterra. Highly recommending trying dinner served by Alex and cooked by his mom! That was exactly what we've been looking for :-)

United KingdomCouldn’t fault it. Just remember your mosquito spray! If staying in a larger group, more mirrors would be handy but not essential as each room has a small mirror.
The pictures do not do the property justice. It exceeded our expectations. The property is a good size for a group and boasts an onsite authentic Italian restaurant where Alex hosts dinner for guests, cooked by his mother. A lot of care and attention has been put into the restaurant and the food does not disappoint! Alex messaged us before our stay about arranging a dinner for us and we didn’t know what to expect so didn’t book for our first night but we wish we had booked it for more than just one evening. We can’t stress enough that you should definitely book the dinner at least once, if you are staying here! The carefully curated set menu is exquisite and shows off local produce and specialty dishes. The villa is a short drive to the neighbouring towns. Alex is an amazing host.

GermanyMissing a few small details (I can only comment for our room): A mirror in the bedroom part. The bathroom needs an extra.floor mat, especially in Spring when the floor is still cold. Hooks to hang coats.
A lovely location to access Volterra, San Gimignano and Colle di Val d'Elsa - giving options for food as there is nothing on the doorstep. The roads, despite windy, are very good condition. A very clean accommodation, in a beautiful, quiet area. Rolling hills as a wake-up view. A big bathroom that has been very nicely refurbished.

We really loved the location, just few minutes away from Volterra, but in a very quiet and fascinating area. The room was big and equipped with everything we needed. Didn't have the chance to try the pool, but it looked great. Thanks Alex for the flexibility with our time of arrival.

we stayed 2 weeks at La Quiete. We would come back definitely, this is why: very friendly and helpfully host Alessandro Nice house, quietly environment, fully equipped, beautiful views (especially by sunset) More space (inside and outside) than excepted based on the photo’s. we could easily host our parents as well. we had several terraces outside The owners organized a dinner with local food once a week. It was really fantastic/outstanding(5 cours), and for a good price. We enjoyed a lot of the swimming pool, the lovely city Volterra closeby. it was hot in July/august and it was really dry, hopefully rain is coming quickly our kids loved to spot deers in the garden by sunset

BelgiumProbably for hygiene reasons there was nothing comestibles available (so bring salt, pepper, herbs, coffee filters, detergent, ….. ) . We did some exchange with the other resident. Be aware that due to its site there is no mobile phone reach at the residence.
Beautiful and well equipped residence. A warm welcome was given by Alex. To dinner evenings were offered by Alex but unfortunately the invitation came late and we already had planned other activities. Nice and clean pool at 200 m.

Very warm welcome by Alessandro, he gave us some home made products as a gift. We have never met such a grate host as Alessandro! The house and the surrounding landscape was amazing, we saw deers, squirrels. It's more beautiful, than on the photos. We had 3 terraces, two bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. The swimming pool was beautiful too and clean. We recommend it, and will definitly go back!

United KingdomIf you expect the entire house, you will be disappointed as there will be other guests all around you. Information about this apartment was wrong, we booked "entire 3 bedroom holiday home", but this was not an entire house, but apartment, we were accommodated in the first floor, another family was staying in the first floor just above our apartment and another family next to us. Both families had small kids... We bought this accommodation as we wanted to have the house only for us, we would never book an apartment as peace and silence is very important to us. Also the whole apartment is not connected - there is a kitchen, one bedroom with a living room and one bathroom and if you want to go to the next 2 bedrooms, you have to go out, go up a few steps and across a small terrace to the other 2 bedrooms, which is not comfortable - but you can get used to it.
The accommodation was very clean, Alessandro and all staff was very willing and kind, furnishing of the apartment was pleasant. The pool was very good and refreshing!
