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.).

I have stayed in the Dumo view with spacious terrace at Repubblica Firenze many times over a decade and I know from stay at other properties that the apartment is outstanding and an incredible value. The building greets you with a sense of order and modernity. So does the room, especially compared to other apartments. For example, the bathroom and shower are quite clean and modern, with strong water pressure and a great experience in the glass shower. The apartment is super quiet, with no street noise detectable, save for a siren now and then. There is only one other room on the floor and therefore super private and quiet. The kitchenette is functional, though I only use the fridge — it’s Italy! I go to restaurants. The view is dreamy and we invite friends staying elsewhere to join us before dinner. One couple liked it so much that they booked a stay for July 2025. The location cannot be beat, central to everything and in a famous, lively, joyous square.

United KingdomWhile we loved the convenience of the location, it’s worth mentioning that being right in the centre of Florence also means it’s in one of the busiest and most touristy parts of the city. So, if you’re looking for something quieter, that might be something to consider. It’s worth noting for many the view is probably one of the more attractive features of this place — the room we stayed in had a panoramic terrace view, and although the view was beautiful, you had to climb up a few steps to enjoy it. So it isn't setup isn’t exactly how the photos online show it. You have to climb a small staircase, which has been added for you to get a view, so you can't enjoy it while just sitting in the terrace. Another small downside was the shower setup. It’s inside a rather large jacuzzi tub, and you have to climb in and out to take a shower, which wasn’t the most practical design. A walk-in shower would have been much easier to use.
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, and there were plenty of things we loved about it. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Florence, just a few minutes’ walk from the Duomo. It was incredibly convenient for sightseeing, which made exploring the city so easy. The room itself was perfect for a couple’s getaway. It had everything we needed, and we especially appreciated the little touches, like the snacks and a full bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. The building also had an elevator, which was really helpful for getting our luggage up, though there were still a few steps to reach the door.

BrazilAt night there was a lot of noise from some type of machine in the condo. There was no curtain on the main window in the room. The jacuzzi needs repairs.
The neighborhood is excellent, but remember that it is a car-free area. The apartment has some amenities such as an iron, hairdryer and kitchen utensils for everyday use.

In brief, we loved everything about our stay. The apartment's convenient location allowed us easy access to all the sites we wanted to visit in Florence. The staff was fantastic, and the accommodations were superb. My highlight was the private rooftop terrace with a stunning view of the Duomo. Rest assured, you won't be disappointed. Whenever I'm in Florence, Italy, this will be my go-to place as long as it's available.

CanadaThe fireplace didn't work, but honestly I don't think we would've even used it. The toilet was hard to flush (had to press the button hard for 10 seconds to get it to flush). Some of the mist features on the shower didn't work, but that's just extra.
Superb location, right in the heart of Florence and the view of the duomo is incredible! We were honestly shocked at the value you get for the price and were really grateful we found this place when we were booking hotels last minute. The space is equipped with everything you need and perfect for a couple's romantic getaway. They even left us with snacks and a full bottle of wine that made our stay really comfortable. We sat on the deck enjoying the view while sipping on our wine. They had an elevator that made it easy to get up with your bags (and then just a few steps to the door). The double rainforest shower was also a really cool feature I've never seen before. Overall, would definitely recommend!
