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 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 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.).

AustraliaIt's worth noting this apartment is located in the eves of the building. Although flooded with light, all the windows are either above head level or skylights. It's just a personal preference but I found not being able to see anything out the windows a bit claustrophobic. As others have mentioned, we found the mattress on the bed uncomfortable.
This apartment is in a pretty good location - a short-ish walk from Santa Maria Novella train station and a few steps from the Arno. Lucia provided really good communication and met us at the apartment to hand over the keys. She provided us with some good restaurant recommendations and other visitor information. There is plenty of room to spread out and the view from the roof terrace was just stunning... the perfect place to sit above the hustle and bustle of Florence and enjoy a glass of Tuscan wine.

GermanyWe arrived by our own car from Germany and parked the car in the Interparking Garage Europa Firenze (170 m from the apartment). I can recommend this garage as it is great for bigger cars as well. Lucia was a super host and very helpful with a lot of tips & recommendations. The location is perfect, you can walk to every top sights in Firenze. And the view from the terrace is unbelievable.

ChinaNot at all. If you feel that the water drains slowly in the bathroom, you can lift the lid. It won't have any impact.
It's great. It's five to ten minutes walk from the train station, and five to ten minutes to other attractions. There is a supermarket, a pharmacy, and many good restaurants nearby. Lucia is very nice, the facilities in the room are complete, and there is even a beautiful terrace.

United StatesThe only thing I can think of would be screens on the windows to keep out any mosquitoes, but there is AC in the apartment, so we used that most of the time instead.
The property had a lot of character with some antique furnishings, rounded doors, skylights and a rooftop terrace overlooking the Duomo. It also had a full kitchen and a washing machine in the bathroom. It is located in the historic district, but you don’t pass through a ZTL camera, so no fines! It’s a block away from a public garage and a grocery store. You’re just a block away from the Arno, near the Amerigo Vespucci bridge.

New ZealandThe apartment was located close to the centre of Florence, had everything needed, and the exposed ceilings gave it real character. The outdoor area provided great all around views of Florence when dining or in the early morning or evening to experience Florence as it transitioned from night to day. The air conditioning made the time spent there after exploring comfortable.

CanadaNo cover for the terrace and unusable during hot hours of day. A fan and cover would have helped. Unfortunately the extractor fan/hood of the stove did not work and this limited us in what we could cook.
The terrace/patio is a great space to have dinner late on a summer evening! Beautiful view over the city. The apartment is located about 15 minutes walk from the Duomo
