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.).

AustraliaWorld’s heaviest hotel key😀 (it encourages you to leave it with them).
Very conveniently located near SMH railway station. The room was fine, the hotel had a nice old world decor and we had a nice dinner in the restaurant, which was not overly priced and breakfast was included.

United StatesSometimes when a group was checking in, you had to wait to be able to pick up your room key.
The location was very good, from the train station to walking all the points of interest in the city. The staff was very pleasant with one exception, Lorenzo at the front desk was rude and needs to work on his Customer Service.

SlovakiaRoom, bathroom equipment is quite old. Room which I had (408) in under the roof and in a corner and wifi signal was really weak.
Great location for exploring the city, close to the main train station (Firenze Santa Maria Novella), also to the tram line T2 from airport. Location is quiet. Staff is really friendly. Apartment was clean. Bed was comfortable. Advantage was an aircondition due to really how weather. Hotel breakfest in a form of bufet was average.

CanadaThere was no internet connection on the 1st floor. But it was working on the third floor, e.g. The entrance has two flights of stairs, so going in with a stroller or wheelchair is a problem. Adding ramps would be great!
The location of the property is very good. Right next to the central station, many shops and the market. The furnishing was also very nice.

United KingdomThe hotel is conveniently located only a short walk from either the bus station or the train station. You can take the train directly from the airport to the main train station in Florence, it is less than 5 minutes from the train station to the hotel. The hotel is also well located for walking into the town centre and seeing all of the attractions on offer. The staff in the hotel are superb, very friendly and helpful, the room we had was a good size, very comfortable with a good sized bathroom. The breakfast was excellent plenty of choices from the buffet style breakfast, something for everyone

United StatesThe train station is very close, but rolling luggage is really challenging on the sidewalks and streets to the hotel. It is easier if you don't have to rush.
The hotel was lovely and the room included a good size bathroom. We had a terrace that we really enjoyed. Staff is wonderful, especially Carlos who helped us get settled and gave us hints for the area. The breakfast is excellent with lots of options and hard-working staff keeping the buffet supplied and helping guests. This area of Florence is so convenient to walk to major attractions and the train station. I am so glad we chose this property

We absolutely loved everything! We were given a room on the 4th floor,it was kind of like an attic, and we loved it. It was amazing: super clean, with a huge bathroom, a huge bed, and just incredible overall. The breakfast was also fantastic. Special mention to Giovanni, who helped us with the luggage and showed us to our room. He spoke to us in Spanish and did a great job—such a friendly man! If we come back to Florence next year, we will definitely stay here again without a doubt.
