Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

ItalyThis is the second time we have returned to this magical hotel. Unforgettable beauty, beautiful views from the window, delicious breakfast, and an excellent choice for those who love history. We would like to thank the helpful staff for organizing the birthday dinner and ordering flowers. The area has many places to visit, historical towns, parks, baths, wine tastings and traditional cuisine. We will definitely be back soon.

Staying at the Hotel Della Fortezza was definitely one of the highlights of our vacation. You are literally transported to a fairytale land. The grounds and surrounding areas/village is breathtaking. Our room was so charming. Breakfast was perfect. The staff reception is so friendly/welcoming/accommodating. A forever memory for all of us!

United States of AmericaThe staff were attentive and amazing. Breakfast was delicious and had many options including a lot of vegetarian options. We ate at the restaurant one night. The food was very good and much better than other area restaurants. It is a great place to stay for day trips to Pitigliano, Cascate del Mulino, and Civita di Bagnoregio. There are many shops in Sorano where the fortress is located. Just a great place to visit!

United States of AmericaThe is one of the few properties where we have stayed that exceeded our expectations. The hotel is in an old fortress surrounded by a beautiful midlevel city. Our stroll through the city after dark was the highlight of our trip. The staff was exceptionally helpful. Breakfast was very good. The room was very good. We would make this a destination stop on another trip. Highly recommend.

A real treat for anyone interested in the history & speactacle of the Tunscan Hill Towns, Fortezza turns back the clock, but not without some dedicated style. This fortress is no longer complete, but the hotel rooms each have their charms & the welcome is genuine. We very much enjoyed learning about the local wine making (historical and more recent), and how local farmers, from sheep to wheat, are banding together to showcase their unique specialities while managing the volcanic terroir in an area completely devoid of pollution over a 50km radius. Very comfortable beds, excellent bathroom facilities & a comprehensive breakfast, the hotel is linked to a delightful restaurant in the village, after a short downhill walk. We plan to stay again.
