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.).

Very convenient location and helpful, friendly staff. Special thanks to Lisa at reception who gave us wonderful suggestions of beautiful and different sights to see (like the old pharmacy and the bookshop/cinema in 1930s style) Hotel being at a relatively busy piazza , noise levels are high late into the night...so ear plugs are a must if you want a restful night's sleep.

United StatesIt was fairly dark in our room and there was a big mold stain on the wall next to the A/C unit. Also, our window looked directly across a tiny courtyard into another hotel room window, so we kept the shutters closed most of the time. This added to the darkness. One strange thing that occurred every morning for half an hour: it sounded like whoever was upstairs was pushing/dragging furniture across the floor. It was incredibly loud and obnoxious.
The location was great, and most of the front desk staff was very friendly. Our room (403) was basic, clean, and met our needs. We'd like to recognize the maid service for doing an excellent job cleaning up our room every day! Much appreciated! Overall, we were happy and didn't mind the small negatives.

United StatesSome of the rooms location needed to use a few steps of the stairs. If it was just me it would have been fine but I was travelling with my mom (65y/o) with medium suitcases which made it a bit challenging. I also find the room a bit dark. And one of the lights in the bathroom was busted too.
Location was very good. 4mins away from the train station. Our room’s view was the piazza de santa maria novella. Front desk was very helpful with luggage storage and printing our train ticket.

United StatesThe drain in the shower and sink were very slow - I had to stop the shower so that it wouldn’t overflow. Bathroom is very narrow but I didn’t mind so much. If you are a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs as the church bells are charming but loud. This isn’t a problem with the property just a heads up.
Convenience! Very close to the tram, restaurants and shopping. There is an elevator :) Views to the courtyard of the church are nice. AC was in great working order. Staff is SUPER nice!!

AustraliaRoom faced the courtyard so was quite dark and musty. For this reason we wanted to leave the window open but this then let in lots of mosquitoes which ate us alive. The aircon also drips water onto a powerpoint which is slightly concerning. I also wish there was a kettle.
Great location, comfortable beds, nice staff. Rooms cleaned everyday.
