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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

I didn’t see an elevator, and the hotel is on the 3rd floor. For me not a problem but could crucial for someone with large luggage or issues with mobility. As usually in the center of Florence there is a noise from the street.
Great location really 2 min from Duomo. Easy check in. Modern clean room, tiny but setting is very functional and comfortable. Good value for money considering the location.

Great location just a 10 min walk from the train station. Clean, comfortable and secure. Check in was easy. We walked the city sights from here easily. Staff were very responsive, helpful and language was not an issue. If you do not like stairs then do not come to Europe. It's just how it is in buildings built 100's of years ago. Great way to burn off the wine calories!

It was quite loud from the street, and the double bed was 2 singles pushed together so it’s was a little uncomfortable as it kept coming apart but nothing to bad!
The property was really central and in a close walk to everything, check in was simple and the woman on the desk was really lovely and helpful. It was really clean. They minded our luggage for us whilst we explored before our train, the staff were lovely!! Would recommend:)

The windows were not isolating at all the sounds from outside, and there was a lot of noise, even during the night. There was also a lot of noise in the hallways early in the morning caused by housekeeping. It was hard to get a good sleep.
The location is excellent and the room was modern and clean.

The stairs. We knew that it did not have a lift, so I should not complain, but the stairs got a bit much at the end of a long day walking everywhere.
The room was very clean, which is always a huge plus.

The hotel is on the top floor of the building, and there is no elevator. We had a big suitcase, so it was difficult to carry it up and down the stairs.
The hotel's location is great - right next to Duomo and just a short walk to the central train station. The hotel was clean, quiet and spacious. Overall, I had a great stay.

- Big big big disadvantage is that the rooms are in the third floor of a classic building without elevator. We had to carry our luggage (23 kilos) all the stairs up to the third floor. The owner sent the chambermaid to help us but she couldn't either. - It has some noise.
- The room was really nice and clean. The bed and the pillows were absolutely perfect. - The location is the best, near the center and all shops and cafes and restaurants.

The only thing is it is not very accessible if you are unable- 6+ floors of stairs, not an issue for me though.
City Centre, 5 min walk from the bridge, the station and anywhere else you need. Really comfy bed and view of street. Staff are very welcoming.

I didn’t like how many stairs it took to reach the hotel, but know that is pretty typical in Italy.
I liked that it was clean and safe.
