How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewVery convenient location close to the amphitheatre piazza. Beautifully appointed with a lovely outside courtyard. Comfortable bed and bedding and air conditioning. Excellent breakfast and we also enjoyed the complimentary bicycles for trips around Lucca’s walls and out to a local vineyard. The manager Tullio was extremely helpful regarding check-in arrangements and made our stay very comfortable.
Thank you so much for your fantastic evaluation! ♥️

Verified reviewEverything. It is a perfect location on a side residential street with a few minutes walk to the main areas. The hosts are absolutely the best and so accommodating and friendly. The breakfast is excellent and the lovely back patio is so serene. I highly recommend this little gem. Our stay was made even more magical by the long and continuous chiming of the church bells all over Lucca when the new Pope was elected.
Niente, nada, nicht, nothing!
Thank you so much dear Laura! We hope to see you again at Residenza! ♥️

Verified reviewSuper location. The room looked out over a small and quiet street. In the back is a garden with tables and a mix of chairs. It was too hot while we were visiting to spend much time there but it looked nice. Breakfast was a nice little buffet. Staff were lovely and helpful. Loved having the bikes available for exploring the town
No complaints
Thank you so much! ♥️

Verified reviewSylvia and Tullio are the most amazing hosts. They have created a fabulous B&B in the best location within Lucca. Nothing is too much trouble, they provide great suggestions for restaurants and info about the wider area. The place itself is lovely, on a quiet street which is within easy walking distance of all the best places within Lucca. The breakfast is great, a huge range and fresh. The garage is also great and really secure (just make sure you only have a small car or they can suggest alternative parking options).
Thank you! Really we hope to see you again at Residenza! ♥️

Verified reviewThe location was excellent and the property felt modern without losing its appeal of being an old building with character. It was exceptionally quiet but 1 minute away from the Main Street.
There was one room with a squeaky less comfortable bed but we were offered another room as soon as mentioned.
Thank you so much for your evaluation!

Verified reviewThe staff is incredible. The residence is truly blessed to have Tuillo and Sylvia. Tuillo welcomed us to the residence and was always helpful with recommendations and advice. Sylvia was extremely pleasant and helped when Tuillo was not working. The room was very clean and the cleaning staff very conscientious. The location of the residence is great as you are in the historical center. Rooms are comfortable, the AC is good, the internet works well, Breakfast was good and Tuillo/Sylvia ensured great cafes were made for us.
No complaints with the residence. As the residence is located inside the historical center, parking and driving a car can be difficult. You will need to park outside the city wall which is about 10 minutes away. Tuillo arranged a permit for us to drive in the historical area to drop off our luggage and then park outside the wall
Thank you so much!

Verified reviewThe location, the staff were lovely. The bed was very comfortable.
The breakfast was not very imaginative, the coffee/juices were not as good as they could have been. If you have a sweet tooth the breakfast would suit you.
Thank you, what a pity that you didn’t appreciate our breakfast! It is strange because there’s a good choice of salami, ham, eggs in different recipes, tomatoes and bread, olive oil selecte, cheese, typical pecorino and focaccia… however, thank you again.

Verified reviewStaying at Di Via Fontana was everything we could have hoped for. The location was perfect. Tullio and the young lady (sorry completely blanked on your name) who welcomed us are a credit to your hotel, so friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and cool with comfy beds. We hope we get to visit Lucca again and would certainly stay Di Via Fontana!
Nothing to us it ticked every box
Thank you so much for your awesome comment! ♥️
