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 reviewLocation was great and we could park on the premises
We decided to have dinner here at the hotel at the rooftop restaurant. It was nice, food was good, but the service was so slow it took two and a half hours to complete our meal

Verified reviewVery well located hotel in the historic heart of Siena with wonderful views from the dinner restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful, a fruit platter was waiting for us in the room. The parking was very convenient in the hotel yard. I would definitely go back there.

Verified reviewThe Staff was exceptional! All staff members were professional, friendly, knowledgeable and were able to answer any questions we had as travellers to the region. Beautiful view of the Tuscan lands from our room and very clean. The room was cleaned daily. Breakfast was fantastic and a variety of food to choose from and was part of my package. We had dinner in the hotel a few nights and it was very good and all dishes were delicious and the portions were a fair size.
The room was a little snug for a quadruple room for 4 people but very clean. The parking was a little tight, we had a large vehicle and at times difficult to park.

Verified reviewThis was by far the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Located right on the edge of the city walls, it offers breathtaking views of the Tuscan hills and is just a short, safe walk from the city centre. It was absolutely perfect! The hotel’s location couldn’t be better, and its atmosphere beautifully combines the charm of the ancient city with modern comforts, giving you the best of both worlds. The staff were exceptionally kind and helpful, especially Tommaso, who went out of his way to help us park our car (a task that would have been quite challenging otherwise). Our stay was completely stress free and relaxing thanks to everything the hotel provided. The rooms were comfortable and well equipped, and the breakfast was far better than it appeared in the photos. In fact, the entire hotel was cleaner, nicer, and more welcoming than we had expected from the pictures. We stayed here with our two young children, and the staff were wonderfully accommodating, making everything so much easier for us. I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a stay in Siena.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThis is a great hotel for exploring Siena! Room was comfortable, clean, well stocked, and includes a wonderful breakfast buffet. What sets this property apart though, is the staff...super helpful, kind and welcoming. If I am lucky enough to return to Siena...I want to go back to Hotel Athena!

Verified reviewA short walk into the centre. A lovely terrace for food and drinks. The free parking was very useful. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. What made this hotel stand out from the rest was the friendly professional staff who made us feel very welcome.

Verified reviewThe hotel is convenient because it has parking and is located on the city wall, from where you can explore Siena on foot. The rooms are very comfortable, and the breakfast is very good.
The rooftop is boring.
