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 StatesIt was very hot when there, and the rooms, while beautiful, are also older...so the AC that runs does not stay in the room as much as a more modern room's AC would....so my only recommendation is to recognize this for these exceptionally hot days and nights and let the AC minimum temp go lower.
Such a pleasant property -- and even better that it is multi-generational family run! Everyone is so pleasant and helpful that we felt we were constantly being pampered. The room was spacious, the beds were comfortable, the breakfast outside each morning very tasty with custom made items each day. The pool was SO clutch given how hot it was, water very refreshing and also very little chlorine which we certainly appreciate. They serve other meals as needed and are happy to recommend (and make reservations) for many of the hill town restaurants near them. I was always greeted with a smile by everyone, and I do not think I received the least bit of special attention. You can see for yourselves, I am sure you will not be disappointed!

Antico Borgo was an absolute gem of a find. We loved it! At times we were the only family at the pool so it was almost like having our own villa but with the amazing family onboard to cater for all our needs. San Gimingnano is a very special place to us and this property has added even more to that. We will definitely return. We can highly recommend it. It’s family run and that is most definitely the feel it has. Nico deserves a special mention. A lovely young man and a credit to his family !

BelgiumImpeccable stay. Not a single complaint.
A beautiful stay with breathtaking views stretching all the way to San Gimignano. You’re welcomed as if you’re part of the family, especially by Federico and Niccolò, two incredibly kind and helpful young hosts who are always ready to assist with a warm smile. The room was very clean and well maintained, as was the bathroom. Every day, they asked if we wanted fresh towels or if we’d like the room cleaned. Great service. Having breakfast on the private terrace of our room was such a lovely extra touch. The pool was great, with enough parasols to find shade under the strong Tuscan sun. There’s plenty to do within a short drive. You can visit charming towns like San Gimignano, Volterra, and Siena, or enjoy local wine tastings nearby. Exploring the area by Vespa is also a fantastic option. Highly recommended!

GermanyWe enjoyed our first Tuskany visit in Il Cardino and were sooo happy there. The room, our own terrace (were breakfast was served every morning), the pool area (where you can enjoy cocktails or antipasti in the evenings) and all the garden surroundings were just so lovely, we enjoyed our stay really very much. All the stuff around Nicolo were just lovely and they took care of all of our wished. Thanks so much for our lovely time with you, Il Cardino, and hope to see you soon again! 🌞

We chose the site because it had air conditioning a pool and the location looked central. We didn’t know that we would absolutely adore the family running the property and the breakfast and hospitality were beyond amazing. The location was very central to local attractions. It was such a warm welcoming and relaxing place to stay.

United StatesNothing at all.
This portion of our extended trip throughout Italy was delightful. We were greeted by Nicolo, the owners’ son, who was a perfect example of the genuine, kind hospitality of Italy… actually he exceeded the norm and our expectations. The entire family was equally warm and inviting. Our room had the character and charm of a beloved Italian farmhouse in the vine-filled countryside and opened onto a lovely patio with a refreshing, wonderful view, room 10. Everything was well maintained and the large pool sparkled invitingly. We used it everyday and the water was always very clean and set at a comfortable temperature. Nicolo offered exceptionally good restaurant recommendations that made us feel like a resident rather than a vacationer. We will definitely return one day!
