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 reviewNice garden and Livio was very polite and helpful.
The room has a heavy humidity smell, it’s not noise or heat insulated at all. There is a road, next to the property and the cars or even worse the motorcycles felt they were going thru the room. The breakfast is not something worth mentioning, it better if you go to any cafe and with 3/5 Euro you have a better one.
So Ciocoiu thanks for the compliments for me . I'm sorry for the humidity but you changed the mode from Air condition to dehumidifier , so that's why the smell was unplesent. That night there was i local food party ,so that's why you heard so many cars. The breakfast for what you paid(75 euros )for the 99% fo my clients is ok . Thanks Livio

Verified reviewLivio was a fantastic host - he offered to pick me up from the train station on arrival, and dropped me back there on my departure day. And was full of helpful information about where to go and what to see. Stefania (housekeeping) was lovely. Both of them were so hospitable, friendly, generous and great English (which made up for my poor Italian). The Garden was beautiful! Breakfast was easy - even treated to fresh croissants some mornings. Great location - close enough to the Walled City, but suburban enough that you feel like a local.
Slight walk (mostly on the road, not foot-pathed) to the closest grocery shop and bus stop, but nothing too strenuous.

Verified reviewVery clean and quiet, the shutters are great because it blocks out the light and I had the best sleep. The bed was very comfortable and the linen was crisp and professionally laundered perfect. The breakfast was beautiful and including boiled eggs, juice, coffee or tea, pasteries , cereals and yogurt. There is a shared fridge in the dining area which I thought was great because I could keep my evening meal and fruits cold. There are an assortment of drinks and beer for sale at a very reasonable price if you fancy a cold drink after seeing all the amazing sites Lucca has to offer. There’s also an amazing garden to relax at the end of the day. The hosts could not do enough for me and provided me with many options of where to visit and how to get to and from the major attractions. Top marks from me. I will definitely return if ever I am back in Lucca

Verified reviewSpacious apartment. Booked room but host upgraded us to an apartment at no extra cost.
Free parking good but it was a tight fit requiring good reverse driving skills.

Verified reviewThe place is super close to the centre - we had a car and it took us 3 mins to drive to a parking spot right next to the city walls. Jessica was amazing! She was so lovely and welcoming when we arrived, she showed us all the places to see in Lucca, pointed out where to find free parking, and gave us good food recommendations too. In the morning we woke up a little bit late & forgot about the breakfast that is included, but Jessica was so kind and she gave us a wake up call and even put aside some breakfast for us even though we missed breakfast hours! She chatted to us the whole time we were eating & gave us a big warm hug as we were leaving. She truly made our stay feel special - we love her!
Nothing everything was amazing!

Verified reviewVery clean and tidy, staff was welcoming and helpful, breakfast was good.
The room was very small, the corner shower was extremely narrow making it impossible to shower without touching the curtain. The stairs leading up to the room are also narrow making it tricky for luggage to be taken up and down, this is a minor problem if your luggage is small.
Hello Erica , I’m sorry to see this 6 , You booked 2 rooms the cheapest with a breakfast in the town , you have too many luggage , This is not the way to travel changing B&B every day, is too much stress , but take a big house like a basement . I also helped you to carry up and down all the luggage receiving not even 1 euro tips when in your country you are pushed to leave 20% tips . Book a hotel with elevator not a B&B , now is a low season you will find a good rate .
