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.).

CanadaStaff in the lobby seems quite careless, both on arrival and departure. Luggage can be dropped off, but it’s not stored securely. I only received a bathroom floor mat and no towels. That could be an honest mistake, but it was still inconvenient. Since there is no one present in the evening, I was not able to ask for any.
Location is excellent. Walking distance to everything and close to the train station.

South AfricaThe bathroom was a bit strange in how the toilet flush was located in the wall and had to be pressed multiple times to get flush going, like a pumping mechanism button. The bidet is unnecessary and just makes the bathroom feel small. The fan didn't help much with the heat. An AC or more fans would be much better.
Superb location in Santa Maria Novella and close to some very cool local spots like Giacosa 1815 bar. The room was spacious and comfortable with good modern window fixtures.

United StatesThere's no AC, though there is a ceiling fan and windows. Also it was so loud on the street outside the room. We had to choose between having the windows open for some air or closing them for some silence.
The location was fantastic, so close to the Duomo, shopping, good restaurants and tourist spots. Loved the private bathroom, and it felt very safe. We were also able to leave our luggage there before we left the city. Very awesome!

PortugalI didn't like that they made me pay for the tourist tax when it was already included in the booking, as described in the booking.com reservation. Although I showed it to them, they made me pay in money anyways. The hotel is in a fair state, but could use some remodeling.
The location is good and the price is great.

United StatesNot their fault, I guess I didn’t make sure they had air conditioning, but it was impossible to sleep. The room was an oven. So, make sure it is not summer when you go there, or make sure you find a room with AC

United StatesThe room doesn’t have air conditioning, it can be very hot at night. There is a ceiling fan in the room, which helps a little. I didn’t mind, but if you prefer sleeping in a cooler room, maybe you’ll have a hard time.
Perfect location, walking distance to everything. I booked it in the morning, we arrived late afternoon, when the reception was already closed. But I received the email with all the directions on how to get in the room. The staff was very kind and helpful.

United KingdomReception only open 9am to 5pm and no one there outside those times. Rooms not really serviced so no option for clean towels if needed and we had to grab some spare loo roll from the communal bathroom. It's really noisy as it is above a bar and opposite a bar.
Very easy location for the tourist sites. Ceiling fan and good shutters to help with the temperature. Very comfortable bed. Plenty of space. Incredibly good value for money if you don't mind not having the luxuries. More hostel-like than hotel.

Location was superb within walking distance of all the main sights enabling us to see the highlights of Florence in the afternoon we had before our onward morning journey. We received a lovely warm welcome and local information with the detailed map provided by the receptionist which was really appreciated. Also shower was great and fam is the room helpful in the warmth.
