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.).

United StatesWe absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Porta Faenza! It was a last minute booking so I was just happy to have a room but I was pleasantly surprised when I checked in to this little gem of a hotel. The spacious room was gorgeous and the bed was very comfortable. From the moment we arrived, the staff was attentive and gave us plenty of nearby restaurant suggestions. The breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious. I would definitely stay here again!

United StatesThe beds were a bit firm for our taste.
The breakfast was quite good. Pretty much standard fare for a Florentine breakfast, and very good quality. The room was spacious by European standards, as well as the shower. The staff were very helpful. The best aspect may be the location, which was on "Via Faenza". This street contains a charming collections of restaurants (osterias, trattorias), bars and other shops. It really comes to life at night. The wifi was excellent. Staff member available 24 hours.

AustraliaHotel Porta Faenza is in a great location. It is close to the train station and an easy walk to restaurants, markets, and the tourist centre of Florence. The hotel has an elevator. All the staff were polite and helpful with our enquiries. Our triple room was large with a lovely modern bathroom. We loved the painted ceiling and room décor. The hotel and room was sparkling clean. There was a large breakfast room.

MalaysiaThe bathroom is way too small. The shower cubicle is so small, no room to turn about during showering, even for us, Asian size.
Hotel location is excellent, allows us to walk about visiting places of interest within the old town district. Room interior decoration is pleasing.

Room was a very good size, had very comfy beds, pleasant decor with Florence feel. Excellent shower, nice toiletries, although I should have brought my conditioner. Good aircon. The room was quiet so we slept very well without any disturbance.
