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 StatesNothing! This hotel beat all of our expectations. I can't think of a single thing that they need to change.
Surprise and delight would be the best way to describe La Gemma. This five star boutique hotel has both beauty AND brains with an elegant design and the most caring staff. From the handwritten note and signature welcome drink in the beautiful bar to the daily breakfast, nightly turn down service and AMAZING on-site spa, this hotel is a total jewel in Florence. And, don't forget the killer location. Two blocks to the Ponte Vecchio, a few blocks to City Hall and Uffizi, incredible shopping and restaurants are all around La Gemma. Such an amazing find in Florence, wish they had more locations in Italy and the world.

United StatesHonestly, my stay was really a treat. The only thing that didn’t work properly was the streaming from my phone to the TV. I’m sure that will be resolved easily.
Wow- this hotel truly lives up to its name- it’s an absolute gem!! The suite was spacious and nicely appointed very comfortable bed with nice bedding. Absolutely gorgeous decor. The restaurant was wonderful- I did the tasting menu and it was all amazing. My suite was huge. Plenty of counter space, plenty of space for the luggage. The staff was so friendly and attentive too!

Hotel La Gemma is truly a gem in the heart of Florence. The boutique hotel has all the amenities of a well-seasoned luxury hotel but their attention to their guests feels like the hotel exists for just you. It’s gorgeous, luxurious and peaceful. Their playful interior design is absolutely lovely and I appreciated their clever choice in using colors that honor their incredible cathedral, duomo, belltower, baptistery. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay perfect and their genuine care for guests to enjoy their stay is noticed. We enjoyed having drinks every evening at their bar where the bartender is very skilled and personable. The rooms are comfortable, peaceful and roomy. Their beds/bedding are excellent and their AC was such a respite from the hot summer weather. And the location is perfect. Tucked away off a main tourist arterial allowed for a feeling of privacy and calmness. Hotel La Gemma will be our choice in hotels whenever we visit Florence.

CanadaNothing, it's a perfect little retreat in the heart of Florence.
This boutique property is absolutely stunning. Every single detail has been thoughts of in the overall design. It's small, but quaint and romantic. It has a classy bar area and a well appointed restaurant with excellent food under a Michelin star chef. The location is incredible. The duomo is a 5 minute walk, the Uffizi is 5 minutes away, etc. Love love love this hidden gem.
