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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesContact the hotel before driving into the city. DO NOT FOLLOW GOOGLE MAPS! They will send you a video on where to drive. You have to enter the city gates in a special area to make it easily to the hotel. I do not recommend having a large vehicle as the streets were made for horses and carts when it was built.
The Hotel was gorgeous. We booked the spa, massage, and sauna on our travel day (1st day) and it was wonderful after a long travel from USA. Everything was top notch here for a boutique hotel. Easily the best hotel to stay in Cortona. We stayed there for 2 nights. The staff was very helpful in giving us directions and recommendations in the city.

United StatesLocation, any walk into town had to be followed by a return trip to the hotel up steep hills. Parking. Lots outside of town were full and only parking available was in the hotel's garage and that was an adventure by itself and made it prohibitive to take the car out for any day trips.
The Hotel was absolutely beautiful, breakfast was good, grounds were very nice, Staff in general were very pleasant and accommodating. Shout-out to Alice at the front desk and Giovanni who were both excellent and went above and beyond.

United KingdomRoom was slightly small and there wasn’t much storage for our clothes, even though we were staying for 5 nights. Reception was very open to this feedback when we left though.
We loved everything about this hotel and want to return soon. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel valued and welcome. Staff are fantastic, pool area is lovely. Worth paying extra for the spa experience.

United KingdomI knew it was on a hill when booking, but it might be an idea to offer a golf caddy up and down to the town. It’s a very tough hill walk. I also think they need larger signs to locate the hotel by car. It took us ages to find it. However reception went out of their way to help us in the end. I think coffee making facilities in the room would be nice. Water was put in the room both days.
Beautiful building, stunning decoration. Location was lovely with amazing views. They completely pampered you. The spa was gorgeous, very tastefully done in keeping with the building. We only stayed two nights but they changed all the bedding and towels the first morning, everything was so clean and all of the staff were so friendly.

BrazilHad to ask in the front desk to boost the ac on the second night since the lower temperature threshold appeared to be locked. Spa is not necessarily worth paying for the visit if you are not using their other services since the water in the pool is not really warm, and other than that you just have a sauna and a Turkish bath. Both front desk and spa staff were very friendly when issues were brought up.
Extremely helpful, polite, and friendly staff. They were always doing their best to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. Amazing breakfast! Very interesting remodeled historical building, well taken care of and clean. Pool outside was also really nice with a wonderful sunset view from the hilltop.
