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 hotel was in a great location, close to all the need to see places. Anastasia was amazing on check-in filling us in on the history and where to go. The property/palace has incredible history within its wall and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

RussiaOur stay at Leone Blue Suites was truly wonderful. The location was perfect, and the 500-year-old building with its beautiful interior offered not just comfort but a sense of connection to Florence's history. The rooms were spotless, with comfortable beds and quality breakfasts each morning. It was quiet and cozy, making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy the charm of the city

AustraliaProperty is excellent. If was on my own or just with my husband I would probably stay in a hotel where there is more of a buzz factor and people around.
Location was great - staff were really lovely. It is an amazing property with a lot of historical interest. We had a two bedroom apartment as we were travelling with a teenager and the space worked well.

United KingdomI cannot find a single fault with the hotel.
The building was incredible, and the room was spacious, full of character, and very comfortable . Breakfast was wonderful with lots of choice. The venue is just a short walk from attractions such as the Ponte Vecchio. I have never received better customer service than at this accommodation. Our travel was delayed, but the staff communicated with us via WhatsApp to reassure us that they would be there.. Despite official closing time for arŕival being 8pm, they waited until midnight to greet us. Nothing was too much trouble. There was even a glass of wine available on arrival.

United StatesThey joke about their “high speed elevator” but it didn’t bother us at all.
Wonderful, helpful staff in a grand updated palazzo. We loved the location on the river, which is walking distance to everything (including the train station) but out of the worst crowds. With only nine rooms you feel like guests in someone’s very fancy home. Excellent breakfast too.

Friendly staff and huge suite for 4 of us. We weren’t expecting to be in such an amazing historical building where lots of the original features have been incorporated with modern touches. The communal areas are stunning. A short walk to all the sites and lots of great restaurants just over the bridge.
