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.).

United StatesThe address to the accommodations should be communicated at least a day in advance. It should also be made clear that the address on the listing is the main building where the reception is, but you end up staying, so you will not have a river view or anywhere near it.
Apartment was nice and well equipped. Host was very gracious as well.

United StatesHotel layout is a bit confusing.
Great location in Florence, in the middle of the historic area. Lots of shops and cafes around, right on the river. This hotel has an amazing patio overlookjng the Duomo. In the evenings you can sit here, sip a drink and listen to music from street artists down below on the square. One patio looks out toward the Duomo and another toward the river, worth it just for that! Breakfast is included, nice - nothing too fancy but has good basics. The rooms are very clean, great showers, refrigerator in room is nice to have too! No gym or pool on property. Staff is very nice and helpful. There is a bar that serves drinks in the evenings. Overall would definitely recommend!

MontenegroWe were happy to stay at via dell' Oriuolo, 1. The apartment has been recently renovated, is absolutely clean and spacious. It is on the top floor with a beautiful terrace, and you can take the lift right up to the door. Three bedrooms and a living room, wooden floors. The owner provides towels, bed linen, iron, toiletries, detergents for the dishwasher and washing machine, and even some coffee capsules. There is air conditioning in each room. In short, the apartment is perfect. It is quite a noisy area both during the day and at night - keep this in mind.

United StatesThis is absolutely perfect location if you’re only in Florence for a few days and want to be walking distance to the most popular areas and museums. Our room was large and a great large bathroom. We loved the very traditional style of the room. There’s also a beautiful terrace at the top of the hotel thay gives you some of the best views of the city for free. There’s a bar as well that I’m sure was wonderful, although we didn’t get to try it.

United StatesThe hotel has a beautiful breakfast and a light lunch food service, which was fine for us. The room wasn't really accommodating for bringing back a pizza - we didn't want to eat in a restaurant every night. There wasn't really a big table to eat on, just a small table that would be great for coffee, but there was no facility to make it (or tea) in the room. You needed to go to the beautiful enclosed porch or the terrace bar to get those things. Sometimes I just wanted to eat or have some coffee/tea in the room. There was a septic smell problem in our bathroom that I suspect was due to the building being so old, but we needed to keep the door shut. The hotel tried their best to address it but I suspect it was just part of being in old Firenze. I still recommend this hotel. It is elegant and beautiful with fantastic staff.
The hotel was very elegant and the breakfast was wonderful and they definitely accommodated American guests very gracefully. The Terraces (there were many) were absolutely beautiful and had stupendous views.

This hotel is a gem! We had a beautifully appointed and very spacious apartment with incredible views of the River. My family and I loved going on the rooftop bar and the breakfast room where we could get a 360 view of Florence. Superb location as well.

AustraliaExcellent location- our apartment overlooked the Arno. Michael was wonderful in welcoming us even though we arrived at 2am and he even arranged a platter of food for the kids. The library is very nice to relax you can enjoy the street musicians from the small verandah. The apartment is so airy and spacious- a reprieve from the business of the streets in Florence.
