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.).

United KingdomThe property is easily accessible from the autostrada and a just a short walk from the city walls. We loved our room with its tasteful decoration and original shutters - lovely! It was cool and comfortable, and had an en-suite shower room with complimentary toiletries. Luca was very welcoming and gave useful information about how to access the main points to visit on our short stay. Unfortunately, we couldn't do justice to the amazing array of breakfast options, but we enjoyed eating in the garden surrounded by all the beautiful plants, flowers and the perfume of the jasmine! There were so many little but thoughtful additional touches that added to the ambience and to the pleasure of our stay. Highly recommended!

United StatesBreakfast was pleasing and scheduled in time slots, which is a great idea to avoid overcrowding in what is a more peaceful and intimate breakfast room. Easy enough walk to the walled city of Lucca. Good size comfortable room in a well maintained and beautiful gated house. Enclosed parking in the courtyard is a major plus. Luca was gracious and we are grateful for his personal dining recommendation in Lucca.

United KingdomI honestly can't think of anything. We have stayed at many Italian B&Bs in the past 20 years and San Donata is the best by a very long way.
Breakfast was outstanding, served personally by Luca and brought to us in the beautiful jasmine scented garden. The villa was ideally located being a 5 minute walk to the main entrance of Lucca's famous walled old city with the tourist information point immediately inside.

Luca is an incredible and generous host. He kindly picked us up from the train station pointing out all the local sights, and insisted on dropping us back the following afternoon which we were very grateful for. Lovely B&B well located only a 4 minute walk from the city walls. Clean and spacious room, breakfast tasty and served by Luca himself. We particularly enjoyed the balcony and garden area when the sun came out.
