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.).

United StatesIf I had to complain, I’d say the water pressure isn’t the best. But the building is incredibly old so that’s to be expected. No real complaints.
We liked everything. The employees were very friendly and helpful. The location was ideal. Breakfast was perfect. We were a family of 4 and they accommodated us with an extra bed. If we come back to Florence, we will stay here. Leonardo was the best. His recommendations are very helpful.

CanadaIt’s a central location which is probably great for most but it was overwhelming coming out of the hotel into the crowded city centre streets of Florence.
Clean, comfortable, great staff, great breakfast, the tea and happy hour were a lovely touch.

United StatesAlthough we liked the hotel and the staff, it really needs a renovation. The rooms and the furniture are old. The carpets in the hallways are old. Clean and functional but worn out.
The hotel is in a perfect location and very quiet. It was walking distance to all the main attractions. The room is big and spacious, staff is friendly, good breakfast. A/c in the room worked well.

CanadaIt was no issue for us but for those with mobility issues, there is a one floor of stairs to reach the elevator.
We stayed in Florence for one night and was very pleased with our choice of hotel. The hotel is very centrally located within walking distance of all the major sites and a 15mins walk from the train station. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stay in Florence.

United StatesThe shower was a bit tight. Shower head in the middle made it difficult to bathe at times. The ~24 steps to get into the place may be a bit much for some, but the staff will help bring up luggage.
Leonardo at the front desk was terrific. He made several restaurant recommendations and all were perfect. The breakfast staff was courteous and efficient.
