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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Laura was an excellent host; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. She brought us breakfast each morning, and helped arrange a taxi for our early morning departure. The room was clean and comfortable. It's located within easy walking distance of many attractions and restaurants in Florence. Highly recommend staying here.

Czech RepublicWe were a bit bothered by the lack of daylight from the windows, we had to keep the lights on all the time. But I guess there is nothing you can do about it, it didn't spoil our stay.
Staying at Laura's home was very nice, she welcomed us with a smile on her face from the first moment we arrived late at night due to a delayed flight. Amazing and caring host. The place was clean, the bathroom spacious, and the location great - within walking distance of the sights.

United StatesI’m unique in that I can have a lot of back pain. A suggestion to update the bed as I could feel the springs. Closets had moth ball smell ( I have a far more sensitive nose than others). For breakfast, a suggestion to have a list of choices - as it felt like host was disappointed with what we cannot eat ( I’m vegetarian and will not eat a ham sandwich or runny egg).
Great location near Arno. Easy in and out. Budget friendly. Careful thinking about what guests need like lights, shampoo, and large fan. Loved strawberries at breakfast. Cappuccino! Is obvious that Laura puts a lot of love and energy into this business! We enjoy local properties- note this is kind of in her house but with rooms to rent.

United StatesDid not have a view from the room window but we were not expecting to. The room location was perfect for short walks and many excellent restaurants nearby. We even had the opportunity to take in a last minute Opera (The Three Tenors) on our day of arrival as well as a Vesba tour of the Chianti area of Tuscany
Our hostess presented a lovely breakfast every morning (see the attached picture). Loved the fresh fruit and coffee's just the way we like them! Also appreciated how Laura called us a taxi last minute so we could go on a tour and let us leave our bag on the day of check-in and check-out! Our hostess was first class!

United StatesIt was not a really bit deal, the only challenge we had was the three flights of stairs up to our room with luggage. But that was most of the places we visited in Italy. We both realized we need to get in better shape!
The B&B Fiordaliso is in a excellent location for reaching most of the attractions in Florence by walking. We were close to the museums, the domo, and the main shopping area. Our host was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Our room was very spacious and beautifully furnished. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was very ample and delicious, served at the small table in our room. There are many great restaurants and bakeries a short distance from the B&B. If we ever go back to Florence, we WILL stay at this place again. We loved it.

United StatesWhen we called the host upon our late arrival (as we were instructed to do) she refused to let us in, told us “she doesn’t rent to people like us” and said she would call the cops if we didn’t leave… Left us stranded in Florence with no accommodation.
Nothing. The staff were incredibly rude and unprofessional. Thank you to booking.com for the full refund following a wildly unacceptable experience.

AustraliaNo air-conditioning. Bathroom separate to room (no conjoining door). Host meant well but was overly attentive, I finished my daily constitution and while my wife was having hers, she was interrupted by the bathroom door being opened by the host. Bells on the main entry door jingled every time we opened it. We just felt our privacy was limited.
Big room and big bathroom, location was fantastic, just a few minutes walk from Ponte Vecchio.
