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.).

Reasonably close to SMN train station but ALSO a 3- minute walk from the Belfiore tram stop (straight to the airport!)-- and close to the Fortezza bus hub.

Great location. Very clean property and fantastic host. Two minute walk to the tram station, but if you are happy to walk just follow the tramlines to the railway station and further on to the centre. The tram will take you directly to the airport. Property was on 6th floor but had a lift. We really only used the lift when we had our suitcases. Niccolo was an amazing host, so warm and full of energy. There was a minibar with piccolos of sparkling wine a few soft drinks and bottles of beer. The prices were incredibly cheap.

The location on the tram line both to the main station and to the airport suited us very well. Niccolo was very helpful, welcoming and gave us a good restaurant recommendation. The almost private roof top terrace and view were an added bonus

RussiaStaying at Alla Dimora Altea was one of the highlights of my trip to Florence. Located just a short walk from Santa Maria Novella, the main train station, it’s in an incredibly convenient spot for exploring the city. One of my favorite features was the rooftop terrace, which is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine while taking in the charming views of Florence’s rooftops. My room was spacious, spotless, and tastefully decorated, with windows overlooking the rooftops. It was cozy and inviting, with a very comfortable bed, reliable Wi-Fi, and plenty of thoughtful little amenities that made the stay even more pleasant. The room was cleaned every day and always in due course, which added to the overall sense of care and professionalism. A special highlight of the experience was Niccolò, the owner of the hotel. He is warm, welcoming, intelligent, and helpful beyond belief — always ready with recommendations, directions, or simply a friendly chat. On top of that, Niccolò is an incredibly reasonable and thoughtful person, genuinely committed to making his guests feel at home. You can tell he truly cares, and meeting him was one of the joys of my stay. I’ll be recommending his hotel to my friends without hesitation. At first, I was given a room where the noise from the nearby railway tracks was quite noticeable and disturbing. However, Niccolò was incredibly understanding and immediately offered to change my room. After the switch, I slept very well, and the rest of my stay was wonderfully peaceful and pleasurable. I only regret that I couldn’t have stayed longer. Alla Dimora Altea is the kind of place that makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. If you are looking for a place with character, comfort, and a truly exceptional host, this is a fantastic choice for you. I would happily return the next time I visit Florence.

LuxembourgWe had a very pleasant stay — and a big part of that was thanks to our host, Niccolo, who made us feel at home and safe from the moment we arrived. His warm welcome really made a difference and positively shaped our overall experience. It’s important to keep in mind that this is more like a converted apartment, and each room seems to be a part of what used to be a residential flat. This is not a problem at all, but if you’re expecting a standard hotel room, you may need to adjust your expectations. For instance, you can hear others coming and going, but all guests were respectful, and we didn’t experience any disturbing noise. The terrace is truly lovely, and both the rooms and common areas were clean and well maintained. The tram stops right in front of the building — which I specifically appreciated as I was traveling with my daughter — but in the end, we didn’t use it because the location is so central that we walked everywhere. It’s within walking distance of Santa Maria Novella train station, yet nicely tucked away from the crowds in front of it. We’d definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything!

KenyaWe were unsure what items, such as water and coffee, could be charged to the room, so we chose not to take any. Please note that some items were chargeable.
A very friendly and helpful host who advised us on the most convenient mode of transport around the city. The room was very warm during the cold winter days, and the shower was hot. It gets a thumbs-up compared to other hotels in Italy. The location was perfect, and the tram stop was very near. The town centre was easy to access via tram or walking.
