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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

AustraliaThe shower was incorporated with the bath tub and there was no hook to hang the shower head you had to hold it with your hand, which made it very awkward to shower.
Unfortunately we were only there for a short time arrived at 5pm and left 8am the next morning to catch the train. However the room was very clean comfortable and spacious, very close to the train station, Very good breakfast with lots of variety. Very friendly and helpful staff.

IndiaCan't think of anything which I didn't like.
Amazing location, every historical monument/ museum is just a 10-15 min walk away. The railway station is less than 200m away, we literally walked with our luggage for 5 mins and we were at our hotel. The interior design is amazing and befitting the city of Florence with ornate doors, ceilings, and furniture. Rooms are spacious, clean, and well designed. Breakfast is simple yet elegant. Staff is very helpful and kind.

IrelandShower was outdated . I wasn’t impressed with some staff while having breakfast. Asked for tea and when brought to the table the server returned and almost threw a cup at me, no saucer and no milk. They didn’t have jugs for the milk so had to get a glass and get some from the buffet ourselves. I don’t expect a lot of attention from Italian staff if you aren’t Italian or wearing designer labels but common courtesy in a supposedly 4star hotel is expected.
Location was great, hotel was clean and staff were efficient but not very friendly.

United KingdomGot terribly bitten by mosquitos in the room. The street outside the hotel was very dirty.
The room had a large and very comfy bed. The terrace from the room got the sun in the afternoon and was lovely to sit out on. The breakfast room was very good. Nice linen on the tables. Excellent selection buffet breakfast. Very convenient for the train station and the sights of Florence.

The hotel was ideally placed, close to the railway station, but within walking distance of all the sights. The room was comfortable and decorated in an elegant and traditional way. The facilities were good and the breakfast was excellent. I would definitely use this hotel again and would recommend it to friends.

United KingdomI think the hotel manager should at least have apologised for the bathroom being non operational but we received none. The technician/ greeting man advised they would look into it the next day as it was too late. I advise the hotel to have control checks prior check in to make sure the facilities are operational as not all customers are easy going!
I would have given top rating if the bathroom in our room was operational. Luckily we had a family room and used the bathroom in the other room, otherwise not sure what we would have done as only stayed for one night. The rooms were precious, gorgeous decorations and we loved it. The location was great as well and the breakfast was reach with lots of options.

United KingdomSorry to say eggs were a bit cold both times I went for breakfast, but otherwise breakfast was very good (lovely almond croissants!). Wifi is a bit hit and miss I found. Also it would be nice to have English-language BBC news channel available.
Comfortable bed, nice big room with high ceilings, nice bathroom with long deep tub. Lovely bar downstairs which feels like an elegant sitting room. Staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially attentive to our mother who is in a wheelchair. I think it's good value for the location, it's 15 minutes walk to the Duomo, Uffizi etc.

United KingdomOur friends are vegan and there was very little choice at breakfast. When we spoke to reception we were told that additional items would be added the following day, but never were. We constantly had to ask for vegan alternatives and no real effort was made to expand the food choices.
