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.).

CanadaThe Alcova Room is essentially an attic with a tiny window that makes it feel a bit claustrophobic. This didn't bother me too much but it would have been nice to know ahead of time that the room was like this, and if I had a choice. I wonder if this is reflected in the price?
Breakfast was excellent. The grounds and pool are beautiful. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. I liked being out of the crowd of central Florence. The walk to town is very beautiful and pleasant.

New ZealandWe weren't allowed to take an iron into the room so had to use a room by reception and take our clothes down there.
This is a fantastic hotel and really feels full of history and character. The room was huge including a separate bedroom for my daughter and huge bathroom with double sinks, bath and separate shower. The staff were really helpful and happy to help. The location is just outside the main centre which you can walk but beware, coming back is up quite a steep hill so you may want to taxi/uber. It took abput 20 minutes to walk down to the main centre of town.

United KingdomNothing. There are no downsides.
The location is terrific. It feels like you are out in the Tuscan countryside yet it is only a 20 minute beautiful downhill walk to the Ponte Vecchio. The bus back stops right outside. The house is beautifully furnished, the rooms very big, with comfortable beds and high quality bed linen. The breakfast was superb and the staff friendly and helpful.

United StatesThis hotel was absolutely Great !! the location was a 20 minute walk from the river crossing into the city ( also a $1:50 bus ride , with the stop being steps from the front door). During our walk, we discovered an amazing restaurant on the right side of the road 4 minutes down the road! Another fabulous restaurant is even closer to the property . The hotel was gorgeously decorated and the staff was so friendly/helpful . The woman that tended to breakfast was lovely !!! And the breakfast spread was over the top with selection and quality. And, if that wasn’t enough, the veranda overlooking the pool was the perfect setting for dining. A MUST STAY

Bosnia and HerzegovinaWe liked everything with regards to the hotel.
The hotel is located in a beautiful area and surrounded with lots of vegetation. Breakfast was abundent and very good quality. Room was spacious and the heating was excellent due to the fact that the outside tepreture was very low. staff very friendly and profesional. In front of the hotel is a bus station, which was very convenient.

VietnamThe chairs were a little small for my bottom. I felt the overall price of the place was a little on the expensive side. There were terribly loud road works going on outside the hotel. Of course, this wasn't the hotel carrying out these works, but I do wish I had known. It meant relaxing in the gardens wasn't possible.
Epic spread of sweet and savoury morsels to break our fast. Overlooking a garden and a pool to sip on coffee and dine in a leisurely way. Emanuela was there each morning. She was so attentive and kind.

United KingdomNo advice upon arrival of how to access the safe or where it was however on asking staff about this they were helpful. Distance from main historic part of city. You could walk to town in about 40 mins but it was down a steep hill/road and of course same challenge if walking back up steep hill/road. Taxi cost to city approx 17 - 20 euros each way. There was a taxi strike on one day of our stay so this highlighted the hotels remoteness. No fresh fruit at breakfast.
Surroundings were restful. Comfortable bed. Wonderful shower. Soft towels. Clean. Age of property so much character. Helpful staff. Leaving room key with reception when going out was a good security feature as can’t lose it. 24 hour reception. Storing luggage upon checking out until time to collect. Eating breakfast overlooking garden and pool. Polite staff.

GermanyThe internet in the room was very bad. If you are staying at the villa, please mind the location (it is located slightly outside the city center with a walking distance of around 30min; public transport is not there but not really reliable).
The villa is very picturesque, and has a very comfy fireplace lounge where you can hang out. My husband and I enjoyed the breakfast, it was a nice selection of savory and sweet options. The room is located not in the main villa but external house but still very nice and spacious.
